Wangsimni Station District (왕십리역 상권)

The intersection of four subway lines at Wangsimni makes it one of eastern Seoul's transit hubs, and the commercial area around the station reflects that — dense, practical, and priced for the residential population rather than visitors. The food and entertainment options here serve Seongdong-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, and Seongbuk-gu commuters. Good value dining compared to the more fashionable areas to the west, and a legitimate window into non-touristy eastern Seoul.
