EasyTicket Gyodong Market Flat Dumpling Alley
📍 중구 교동, Daegu
Gyodong Market, between Daegu Station and Dongseongno, formed naturally after Korean War refugees gathered here, and today it is mostly lined with general goods and clothing shops. The food alley running through it is packed with snack shops selling flat dumplings, seasoned eomuk, and tteokbokki.
Flat dumplings are a Daegu-style street snack made by putting just a little filling in thinly rolled dumpling wrappers, pressing them flat, pan-frying them, and drizzling soy-sauce seasoning on top; they're one of Daegu's 10 famous dishes. One plate is around KRW 4,000, so people tend to order small portions of several items to share, and the place is better for sampling as you walk the alley than for a full meal.
