Chuncheon Myeongdong Dakgalbi Alley

This alley is lined with dakgalbi restaurants in the heart of Myeongdong in downtown Chuncheon. Signs pack both sides of the narrow street, so choosing where to go in is part of the experience.

Each restaurant has its own seasoning blend and side-dish lineup, so there is no single right answer. Most stir-fry it on an iron griddle, and the usual flow, frying rice at the end or pairing it with makguksu noodles, is similar everywhere.

Since it's in the city center, plenty of cafes and shops are within walking distance, and the whole alley gets busy in the evening. If you're driving, there is nowhere to park in the alley, so check nearby public parking lots ahead.

Useful tips

• • If the restaurants near the entrance have long lines, head deeper into the alley and you'll usually find seats.
• • Many dakgalbi places take orders from two servings, so ask ahead if you're dining solo.
• • If you want fried rice or makguksu noodles too, it's best to leave a little dakgalbi in the pan.
• • You can't park in the alley, so you'll need to use a nearby public parking lot.
• • The busiest window is 6-8 p.m., so an early dinner or late lunch is easier.
