These are the exact addresses featured in Netflix Street Food South Korea
After binge-watching Netflix’s Street Food in one go, I immediately started looking for flights. I have to go there. But where exactly is ‘there’? Netflix does mention the names and cities, but not the addresses. I looked them up for you, made a map and am sharing it here. Long live the internet.
Gwangjang Market
Gwangjang Market is the oldest and largest market in South Korea and is known as the ultimate home of truly traditional Korean dishes. It is the perfect place to try all kinds of different authentic dishes, such as tteok-bokki, mayak kimbap and much more.

Gohyang Kalguksu Stall
Yoonsun Cho’s stall is known as the place for the best knife-cut noodles at Gwangjang Market. If culinary journalist Daniel Gray is to be believed, the broth is delicious and the kimchi sublime. Yoonsun learned the recipe from her mother, but perfected it after ten years of experimenting.

Honglim Banchan Stall
Gunsook Jung’s grandmother opened this food stall in 1952 during the Korean War. Since there were no refrigerators at the market at that time, food was preserved in salt. The pickled dishes made back then are still sold at Honglim Banchan, but the bestsellers are the spicy raw crab and soy-marinated crabs. Can’t imagine what that tastes like? Daniel Gray: ‘you could compare it to super-flavorful ceviche with a kick of soy sauce.’

Pakgane
Geumsoon Park has worked at her mung bean pancake stall (great word for Hangman) at Gwangjang Market for more than 40 years. At first, she ran it with her mother; now she runs it with her daughter Sangmi Chu. Chu hopes to keep the business alive for many generations to come.

Dongdaemun Food Street
Jo Jungja created the Baked Baffle, a completely unique dish made from rice baked in a hot pan and topped with egg, cabbage, bacon or shrimp, milk sauce, brown sauce, chili sauce and fish flakes. The dish came about when she was too busy at work to order lunch. She baked leftover rice in a waffle maker, leading to a culinary innovation that Dongdaemun Food Street is full of.

Yu Yuan
Like mother, like son. Soohwan Lee, the son of Yoonsun Cho (the one from the aforementioned Gohyang Kalguksu Stall), was inspired by his mother’s hard work and trained as a chef. He now works at Yu Yuan, a Cantonese Michelin-starred restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul. He is responsible for one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes: Peking duck.
