Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Town (신당동 떡볶이 골목)
The Sindang-dong tteokbokki alley near Sindang station has been the origin point of the Seoul-style braised rice cake dish since the 1950s, when the original vendors developed the gochujang sauce version that became the national street food. Several of the founding-era restaurants are still operating under their original names with preparations that have not changed in 60 years. The alley operates from around 11 a.m. to midnight. The difference between the Sindang original and the franchise versions sold throughout Seoul is immediately identifiable in the depth of the sauce and the texture of the rice cakes. The broader Sindang-dong area holds a traditional market that complements the tteokbokki visit.
