Overview
Gukje Market Food Street has more than 60 years of history as one of Busan's traditional markets' most famous food streets. It is known for a number of dishes, such as Chungmu gimbap served with sweet and sour squid salad, sweet-and-spicy tteokbokki, milmyeon (wheat noodles), dwaeji gukbap (pork and rice soup), sundae, patbingsu (shaved ice with red beans), and Busan’s iconic bibim dangmyeon (spicy glass noodles). These dishes are enjoyed on small stools next to the street stalls. The sight of the diners lining the stall is one of the defining views of traditional markets in Korea. Visitors can also find suitable clothing, shoes, and accessories here.
