Dasan-ro 29-gil & 35-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul (3-minute walk from Sindang Station Exit 7 or 8, Line 2/6)
Mabokrim (마복림) is the original and most famous restaurant - look for the long queues. Most restaurants operate from 11:00-21:00. The tteokbokki here is spicier than typical versions, so be prepared! Pair it with fried foods like sundae (blood sausage) or twigim (tempura).
