Beef Rice Soup A reviewer says, "I usually don’t like beef rice soup, but this is the only place I will eat it." The milk-colored soup contains a lot of chewy meat. At a reasonably good price, you can enjoy one of the best meals of the day. If you’re visiting Seoul Folk Flea Market, find a restaurant serving beef rice soup in the red-dong.
Top 3 Eateries Thanks to merchants from around the country who flocked here in search of something old and rare to purchase, this place was called a ‘flea market’ in the old days. Officially named Seoul Folk Flea Market, this is a place where street vendors in Hwanghak-dong built as their new nests in Sinseol-dong when the area underwent modernization. The market is quite crowded even from its entrance under the placard that functions like a signage. Go into the building to find color-coded sections marking different commodities they carry. The yellow-dong (section) sells household goods, orange-dong vintage clothes, green-dong antiques, blue-dong clothing, navy-dong household goods, and purple-dong items related to hobby. It is like the history of humans all concentrated in a small space. Walk up to the second floor to see "Youth First Street," a reproduction of downtown Seoul in the 1960s and ‘70s. You may find it familiar if you have seen some K dramas depicting those old days. They include discolored comic books, LP discs, old computers, and mini-games.
