Here you can find various Korean comfort foods, as well as various pre-made goods such as Cady, ginseng, nori, and other Korean delicacies to take back home.I also come to the market to buy my "banchan" or side dishes and dried goods, but I strongly recommend visitors to grab a snack when at Gwangjang.I also recommend patrons to visit stalls with prices posted upfront and to wear shoes and not sandles."
