Sindang Tteokbokki Town

신당동 떡볶이 타운

Sindang, Seoul · 서울

A block of restaurants all serving jeukseok tteokbokki — rice cakes, noodles, egg and fish cake simmered at your table in a wide red pan.

Why it’s worth it

This is where the modern version of the dish was invented in the 1950s. Order for two even if you are one; the pan does not come smaller.
