- I know we're biased but we honestly believe Korean street food is the best street food in the world hands down. If you're new to Korean street snacks your best bet is to start in Seoul, South Korea.
There are many famous markets in Seoul (서울) such as Namdaemun (남대문), Myeongdong (명동) and Gwangjang (광장시장) that are massively popular with toursts; however, if you're looking for a more local experience check out a place like Mangwon Market (망원시장) which is not far from Hapjeong (합정) and Hongdae (홍대).
In our Korean street food review we taste test some of the most popular street food snacks in South Korea such as tteokbokki (떡볶이), hotteok (호떡), tteokkochi (떡꼬치), tteok (떡) and many more. Do you have a favorite Korean street food? Let us know in the comments below :)

Korean Street Food Taste Test in Seoul, Korea Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good afternoon. I have just woken up from my afternoon nap and I decided hey street food would be pretty nice. So we decided to check out a local market. Korean street food is a good idea anytime of day as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, so we're at the Mangwon Market (망원시장). This is a really cool market here in Seoul (서울). It is not one of those popular touristy markets. It is very much a local market. It is nearby Hapjeong (합정) and also Hongdae (홍대) area. So we're just going to check it out. We're going to show you guys what you can find here as well as sample a whole bunch of different Korean street food (한국 길거리 음식) here in Seoul. Let's do it. Exciting times. Let's start eating.
Mandu (만두). yachae (야채).
Okay, so do you want to tell us what you ordered?
Yeah, absolutely. We're having Tteokbokki (떡볶이) which is basically my all-time favorite Korean street food snack. So let's take a look down here. I'll give you a tour. And the tteokbokki (떡볶이) part here is basically the Korean rice cakes in a gochujang sauce (고추장). A spicy red pepper sauce and then you also have fishcakes and then over here I ordered something called twigim (튀김) which is basically the fried battered objects that come along with it. Objects? Mostly vegetables. So I have like mandu (만두). Okay dumpling. This one if called yachae (야채) which is different vegetables and then over here we also have. I think there is sweet potato somewhere in there. Yes, sweet potato which is kokuma (고구마). Can't wait to try all of that.
I've got another Korean street food snack here. We've got something called tteokkochi (떡꼬치).
So how this is different from tteokbokki (떡볶이) is that the sauce is completely different. This is more like a sweet and sour type of chili sauce that is on top of it.
So your'e up again. What have you got? I found my favorite all-time Korean street snack. This is called hotteok (호떡) and it kind of looks like a donut or a really fat pancake and it is usually filled with brown sugar and pine nuts and cinnamon. Yours is a special one. What is yours? This one is nokcha (녹차) so this is green tea hotteok (호떡) which I have never had before.
Have you got to the gooey part in the middle yet. Haven't got to the gooey part. I don't know if there is a gooey part. Maybe this one is just sprinkled with green tea.
It tastes like a sweet donut. So far so good. I think it may have a filling though.
Here we go. So look at that. There you have your brown caramelized sugar, some nuts, a little bit of green tea loose leaf, cinnamon. It smells amazing. And you call it smells like Christmas, right?
This is definitely my favorite Korean street food dessert snack.
So how did you enjoy this market? It was awesome. I really appreciate this market because it has such a local feel as opposed to feeling like a touristy market and that made it a lot of fun. I think it is just a cool alternative to some of the more popular markets in Seoul. And it is just one stop away from Hapjeong on the brown line so if you come here you can go to Mangwon station and go out exit two and then it is just five minute walk and you're here. Yeah. You turn left at the exit and then left again at the next major intersection. Yeah, so it is not far at all.
This is part of our Travel in South Korea video series showcasing Korean food, Korean culture and Korean cuisine.

For Americans,
500 won is 50 cents
1000 won is less than a dollar
10000 won is about 9.5 dollars.
Thank you for sharing that!
That small rice cake is called 꿀떡, literally meaning a honey rice cake. But most rice cakes sold on the street are filled with sugar syrup. Sometimes they put roasted sesame together in it. The green one is a mugwort-flavored rice cake.
Thank you for letting us know! They are really tasty!
wow you can speak korean. Awesome. It make travelling in korea 100 times easier
Thank you! Speaking a bit of Korean definitely helps out when ordering food :)
Never get bored of watching your videos! Genuine people with amazing content, thanks for sharing your journeys!
Thank you very much! We really appreciate that :)
It was nice to see that there are people enjoying the Korean cuisine :) It is a brilliant video, i like the way you guys shoot and cut!
Thank you very much! We sure miss Korean street food these days.
Thanks for sharing all your experience in Seoul/Korean food! We are going to Seoul in April-2017 and now we have plenty things to try out thanks to your great joyful videos! We can really feel and see you guys are really enjoying it! Loverly. Thank you and keep up!
Thank you! That is really exciting and just a few months away :)
Hi, I love your videos, especially on many delicious Korean food. I am a Korean who has been living in Toronto,Canada for the past 24 years. At the croquet store , it actually says on the counter ' From now on they 're 500 won' at 1:09. So they must've been on sale before you guys arrived, and the lady at the shop said to Audrey " Oh, you have good command of Korean" , when she ordered in Korean. Thank you guys for showcasing my country's food. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mike! Ah, that totally makes sense now that you point it out. It was a really good deal at that price. We sure love visiting markets and eating street food in Korea.
Really enjoying your vids, they bring back lots of happy memories. We all need this right now, thank you 😌
Thank you very much! We're trying to edit as many as we can these days now that we're at home. Wishing you health and safety!
Great food,superb image quality.I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you very much! We sure ate well that day :)
All those street snacks you all tried are so good to go along with a cup of coffee. I'd would even consider some of them as breakfast. Specially the one Audrey tried that tastes and smells like Christmas. Thanks for video.
Thank you! Yeah, a coffee sure would have been nice and I agree with you that they are tasty any time of day :)
Srsly you guys are doing awesome and awesome jobs. Actually not really many 'foregin people' are introducing Korea this way. I mean, you guys are somehow more specific with beautiful camera works Thank you. Defo worthy to watch some and soon you are gonna have more subscribers I bet!
Ah, thank you very much! We're really happy to be back and we plan to do a lot more videos.
Great video guys! Everything looks amazing. Seoul is most def on our to visit list. We love Korean food.
Thank you very much! The street food in Seoul is definitely legendary.
Great video! I want to try some of these one day!
Thank you! I highly recommend trying them if you get a chance :)
I love your Video. Thanks 👍🥰
I love your guys videos especially the ones in Korea. love it
Ah, thank you very much! We have content coming out every Monday now from Korea :)
Yass, notifications......On! Can't wait ✌
Awesome video!
Thank you! We're going to try and make another street food video from Seoul soon :)
you guys are awesome. Im korean but grew up in the US. Ive never experienced "korea" (last time I was there I was 10). Love how the korean lady was talking to Sam asking if he liked teokbokki. My mom would ask something like that to any stranger.
You guys eat like koreans! Good to see an open mind to taste. So many of my American friends dont really know what they are missing out on!
Thank you! That is really cool to hear. I hope you can revisit again soon. The street food scene is just amazing in Korea. We miss it whenever we leave. Yeah, I feel friends back home from Canada and the US who haven't traveled to Asia don't realize how cool street food is in say countries like Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Malaysia just to name a few.
Ahhh this street food looks amazing! We love Korean street food and wandering Myeongdong and Hongdae stuffing our faces. Certainly not the healthiest, but probably the most fun. Plus, you're moving around and helping digestion while you search for more!
Thank you! We kind of rationalize it the same way ;) At least we're walking around in between bites...haha
first time watching your video and subscribed. :D
Wow, thank you very much! Welcome :)
another awesome episode! Did I see Audrey sporting a LG Twins baseball cap? lol. Sam, you are a hardcore ttheok eater, btw, love the Cubs cap! I know 'TT' sound is not that easy to pronounce for lot of native English speakers but you guys are good. By the way, the last thing you guys had was called songpyeon, the sweet liquid one was probably sesame seed and honey or sometimes they use brown sugar that melts inside. Different colors in songpyeon are created using omija for red, gardenia seeds for yellow, artemisia for green, pine endodermis for brown, they also use mugwort and kobocha for color and flavoring also.
Thank you very much! Yes, we have a Twins, Tigers and Eagles baseball caps with us right now...LOL I'm hoping we can add to the collection as we visit more cities. Thank you! That is one of the harder sounds to pronounce for us. We really appreciate the detailed explanation of the rice cakes. I remember having songpyeon given to me as a gift during Chuseok a few years ago.
Loved this one guys! Was wondering when you'd be doing a street food video in Korea.
Thank you very much! We plan to do more :)
That's great! You guys should do food from other cultures in Korea like you did with Chinese/Japanese food in Peru. See if you can find a South American restaurant or something else to see what it's like!
Thank you! That is a great idea. We'll try to do that for sure.
yaaas i hope you guys to have good memories on our country ☺
좋은 추억 많이 만들고 가세요 환영합니다 ☺
Thank you! We had a great time in Korea and plan to revisit again in the spring.
고맙습니다! 우리는 한국에서 좋은 시간을 보내고 봄에 다시 방문 할 계획입니다.
Guys my mouth is watering, seriously. That tteokbokki tho.
Thanks! LOL, yeah that tteokbokki is sure some good stuff :)
오랜만에 한국관련 영상을 보네요. 잘 보고 갑니다.
😎
Great video and love your Canadian accents!! Great job on the korean too!!
Ah! Thank you! Our Korean is a bit rusty but we still remember how to order food.
Samuel and Audrey Hey, all you really need to get around a foreign place, how to order food and where is the bathroom? ha!!
I also enjoyed your Korean video when you rented the traditional outfits 👍🏽
Thank you! That was one of our favorite experiences in Seoul.
Did you do this kind of stuff when we lived in Korea? Never really knew you made it to this level on CZcams. Honestly, I would have done Korea so much different if I was to do it again. Still had a blast though.
We just started out back then. Ah, Korea was a lot of fun. Care free times back then.
I think it's pretty cool that you managed to make a solid go of this. I went through a few videos. I wish I was doing more photography back then but that is something I fell into more heavily when I got my dslr for making videos. Pop by NS sometime.
Good day Guys Its morning here dubai in the office all of the sudden im thinking 2nd breakfast hihihihi... nice video... keep uploading... thumbs up : )
Thank you very much! Oh my! Well I'd say go for it...haha I'm a big fan of 2nd breakfast myself ;)
반가워요.재미있게 보았어요.
I just had dinner luckily, but really enjoying your street food adventure. love from malaysia.
What did you have for dinner? Ah, we're looking forward to coming back to Malaysia again soon.
Thank you for taking your time to write the transcript!!! As a Deaf person, I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness!
Thank you very much Kellie! We try to include transcripts whenever we can.
The dark green songpyeon are mugwort flavored. It makes them a darker green than the green tea would.
Thanks for letting us know! I liked those ones the most :)
All right, that does it. This all looks so good. I'm going to my local Korean restaurant for lunch tomorrow. I was going to ask if you would offer a video on Galbi but a link to your Galbi video popped up at the end of this one.
Thanks Bill! That sounds awesome. What are you going to order?
I had the Tteokbokki and gunmandu. I posted a review about the food in the comments section on your Tteokbokki video.
Everytime I watch your video, I have a big smile on my face, keep the good work!!!😃
Ah, thank you for saying that! We will try to make more street food videos soon :)
you guys are so cute! im watching with my wet mouth LOL im studying abroad, and i miss my hometown and all that street food... thumbs up! :D
Thank you very much! I wish we could share and I hope you can revisit home again soon.

Is there anyone who is here after watching "Cake" video like me?😁
Which video was that?
@@samuelandaudrey I saw this video of yours on "Cake",the English learning application.
Sporting a Cub's cap? Awesome!
They finally won!
yum yum the sweets are available here too will try...
That is great to hear!
I like that rice cakes (called Kkultteok).
Green things made Ssuk(mugwort) and that's brown sugar with sesame past :)
Oh, thanks for letting us know! We miss all of the yummy Korean street food we were eating in Seoul.
Those chubby pancakes looked so good I asked my wife to make my similar favourite piklettes, with cinnamon. I don't know about them smelling like Christmas though.
Thanks Steven! We always grab those pancakes (hotteok) whenever we're eating Korean street food...LOL I bet those piklettes sure taste good!
I do double backflip from the doorway whenever I smell piklettes cooking. A dab of jam, a dollop of cream and down the hatch they go.
Two four six eight, look of gullet here they come. ( I know it is not poetry but when dealing with piklettes , my heart sings at heaven't gate, mate.)
I'm Korean. I feel Both of You look good persons. Your videos approaches me with your comfortable & good impression.Good Luck while in Korea !!
Thank you very much! We sure hope to revisit Korea again soon.

WOW I love street food :)
Thanks! So do we!
Glad to see that you guys are really enjoying all kinds of Korean food. I'm curious if there is something you hate or even avoid trying among Korean food.
Thank you! We do enjoy most of the foods. Some things we flat out don't like are Bongdaegi (silk-worm larvae) and Korean style bread which is kind of basic white bread with too much sugar added.
08:46 키르키즈스탄 비쉬켁에서 먹어본 떡볶이 치킨스타에서 드신거에여? 예전 키르키즈스탄 여행갔던 기억 나네요. 저도 거기서 먹어봤어요

We did live there a few years back. 😉
I agree. korean street food is best in the world!!!!

you guys know how to speak Korean? thats amazing!!! yummy korean street foods! ^_^
Thank you! We can speak just a little bit and it is mostly related to food :)
omg ... I'm on diet. geeeez Now ... I'm on the way to get some 떡볶이
Hehehe...cheat days are fun ;)
i like ur video. and keept it up! but try and come here in Philippines.there's a lot of yummy and delicious street food.hehehe its more fun in the Philippines..
Thank you very much! That is cool to hear. Do you have a favorite one?
yes I have ;) hope u can travel here in phil.then had u heard durian fruits?? ohhh i want both of you to try and taste it.godbless
I think the only Korean street food that I have tried is the hotteck. I think it was from a grocery store here in US. I have never been to Korea before. And I have also eaten the sweet rice cakes of various types.
Twigim is basically Korean version of tempura. Which came from Japan. But before that came from the Portuguese. And the fish in fish and chips were brought to UK from Sephardic Jews kicked out of Spain and Portugal.
And if you can prove that your ancestors were Sephardic Jews kicked out during time of Spanish inquisition then you can apply for Spanish and/ or Portuguese citizenship.
You cruel you!! Crushing my diet attempt just like this !!! 😢😢😢
Sorry for that! But cheat days can be fun even when on a diet ;)
whojang2000 - d
Samuel and Audrey :/
Samuel and Audrey yn
Samuel and Audrey 72nd
Those little rice cake is a traditional food for korean ThanksGiving!!! FYI!
Ah, that is so cool! They were really tasty and we ended up eating the rest of the pack after we got home...lol
Samuel and Audrey When western folks enjoys Korean food, that seem so cute.... I am a very picky eater and I usually eat only things I am used.. I know I am missing out. Your Korean speaking was also very cute. Enjoy your staying in my beautiful country Korea!
Sookie ginger Actually, judging by the appearance it looks more like Kkultteok! If those had fillings, then it would be definitely Kkultteok.
I've just noticed that you guys always have more views on Korean food videos...
what you guys did not try soon dae?? 순대
Thank you! We're creating a series where we'll have new videos from Korea out every Monday.
We'll definitely make a video about sundae :)
When you speak Korean it so funny hahaha
You can speak Korean well.
Mangwon market is almost local market. I think It's good choice for traveling.
Honestly, that is not a Songpyeong, we called Ggoolddeok. ggool meaning is honey so it is honey ricecake.
but actually, It has brown sugar syrup.
The differences are shape and ingredient.
I'm bad at English. I wish you understand my meaning.
Thank you! Actually our Korean is not very good. We're just okay at ordering some food. Glad to hear you think that about Mangwon Market. We really liked going there and it was walking distance from our apartment we were renting for a month. Thank you for letting me know about the tteok. It was sure was tasty.
You speak Korean ! :)
Thank you! We can speak a little bit.
I got full 1/2 way through!
LOL, we did eat a lot. I went for a big jog the following day ;)
😊👍💕
Thanks!
so much yummy food I am so jelous lol
I wish we could share :)
Bruhhh How on earth do you know 송편 lool. I had to go back when i heard that. I was like wth did i just hear haha. What a wee korean u r ;))))
Also you know those small 떡s, we usually put some honey with some sesames. Id call them just 꿀떡
Ah, thank you! I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly or not. Actually many years I taught English in Korea and I was given 송편 as a gift for Chuseok.
Ah, that is what was inside! Thanks for letting us know :)
No problem :))))
I'm so jealous.
Ah, wish we could share!
As much as the couple are genuinely nice, it amazes me how much Canadians pass their culture onto others.Show a little discretion please...(As I saw Sam's Dad with an emblazoned Canada beret and leaving it on in a restaurant for ffs! Now you guys have matching Canadian sports Caps ...Cool channel tho.
Audrey is a fan of LG Twins?!
Ah, we've just been collecting Korean baseball hats. We have the Eagles, Twins and Tigers now. Hoping to get them all :) I still haven't decided on a favorite team. Any suggestions?
Are you guys fluent in Korean? what other languages do you speak?
We're definitely not fluent in Korean. We can just order food basically :) Audrey can speak Spanish fluently.
hi your blog is awesome Hopefully u will visit a historical country which called Uzbekistan I'm sure u will enjoy there
with Respect ur fan from Uzbekistan ☺
By the way, u will enjoy with traditional uzbek food if don't believe just google it ☺☺☺
Thank you very much! We'd love to visit Uzbekistan soon. We just had a trip to Kyrgyzstan and loved it so we're very keen on exploring more of Central Asia.
Samuel and Audrey Thank you we will wait u☺☺☺☺
hmmmmmmmmmmm!
It sure is tasty! Hard to beat Korean street food :)
Jajajaja Samuel se come todo!!
Can I ask what the cost of your trip to seoul Korea? I'd love to go there someday
Thank you! We paid about $40-50 per night for an Airbnb and about $5-10 per person per meal for lunch and dinner and often ate at home for breakfast. Transportation is cheap (about $1) for metro rides and most activities were free.
Samuel and Audrey sorry I meant travel expense from USA to Seoul? Unless you guys live there then I'm envious. I would love to live there and experience the culture
You'll have to look that up on a flight search engine. The cost of flights really varies depending on what city you're flying out of and the time of year you're travelling.
Lol you're absolutely right, that was a silly question to ask. I enjoyed watching your video though :)
How did you guys learn Korean? You guys are usually always traveling.
We used to teach English in Korea and it is actually where we first met each other :)
why not add the prices of the street food? this is a good video but not a good video for someone traveling without a sense of what to expect what the prices are like and what should someone pay to make sure we aren't getting rip off.
Ah, we should have done that. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love food :) I am surprised I am not 600 Lbs :) Love your videos :) my mom used to tell me when I was a small child that I was going to marry a fat woman when I grew up because I loved food so much ;) HE HE :)
Hahaha...I feel the same way!
What food do not they like? ._.
Greetings from Peru :D
Thank you! We miss Peru.
I did a taste test with kids on my channel
Do you guys live in Korea
We don't live in Korea but we've been traveling to Korea a lot lately and shooting lots of videos with more coming out soon.
