Have you ever heard the saying, "Once you try this place, you won't want to eat tteokbokki anywhere else"?

For those who have tried tteokbokki in Gwangjin-gu, the name Norunsan Tteokbokki is well-known.

As a tteokbokki lover myself, I finally got the chance to visit.

To cut to the chase, I understand why it’s so famous.

???? Where is Norunsan Tteokbokki?

Norunsan Tteokbokki is located inside Norunsan Market.

The charming atmosphere of the market alley gives you a genuine "foodie vibe" from the moment you step in.

It can be a bit tricky to find at first since it's located inside the market, but just look for the line of people, and you’ll be close.

The interior is impressively clean.

The yellow-themed decor adds a cute touch.

As a pregnant woman, I pay attention to origin labels, and most of the ingredients here are locally sourced.

The seating is also relatively clean and spacious for a market eatery.

???? My Honest Review of the Tteokbokki

I ordered the basic tteokbokki with some fried snacks!

My first impression was:

✔ Deep red color

✔ Thick sauce

✔ Rice cakes are made from wheat

After taking a bite, I found it:

???? Sweet yet spicy

???? The taste of gochujang (red chili paste) is strong

???? Closer to seasoned tteokbokki than soup tteokbokki

It’s not the trendy mala or rose-flavored style; it’s a true "old-school market tteokbokki" vibe.

Especially with the thick sauce, it’s perfect for dipping fried snacks.

???? Must-Try Menu Items

You can't go to Norunsan Tteokbokki without trying their fried snacks:

Fried seaweed rolls

Fried squid

Vegetable fritters

The fried snacks are crispy and not overly greasy, making them perfect for dipping in the tteokbokki sauce.

Many people also enjoy ordering sundae (Korean blood sausage) with it.

Visiting Tips:

✔ Expect a wait on weekends

✔ Many takeout customers

✔ Cash payments are preferred due to the market's nature

Be prepared to wait during lunch or dinner peak times.

However, the turnover is relatively quick, so the wait isn't too long.
