Tips

Yaksu · Places
Hadongjin
하동진A gukbap (soup with rice) restaurant at 253-1 Dasan-ro. It is open 24 hours on weekdays, so breakfast timing is not an issue then. Weekend hours differ between sources, so check before a Saturday or Sunday morning visit. Mixed pork gukbap is ₩10,000 (blog, September 2026); dumplings are ₩6,000 and a medium plate of boiled pork slices ₩28,000 (Kakao Map menu, updated August 2026); braised oxtail is ₩64,000.
Igong Gimbap, Sindang
이공김밥 신당점A gimbap and snack-food shop at 46 Dasan-ro 44-gil. It opens at 07:30 Sunday to Friday and is closed on Saturdays. The basic house gimbap is ₩3,500, which makes for a light breakfast; there is also tuna gimbap at ₩6,000, kimchi stew at ₩7,500, a spicy pork rice bowl at ₩9,000 and a bulgogi rice bowl at ₩10,000 (Kakao Map menu, updated June 2026).
Mabokrim Tteokbokki (Mabokrim Halmeoni)
마복림떡볶이A jeukseok tteokbokki restaurant in the Sindang-dong tteokbokki alley, traced back to Ma Bok-rim, who started selling there in 1953. Jeukseok tteokbokki is cooked at your own table in a shallow pan, and the smallest portion sold is for two people, so a solo traveller cannot place an order at all. Several shops in the same alley carry "Mabokrim" in their names, and walking into the wrong one is the usual mistake. No source found describes a booking route, so plan around walking in.
Misu Gukbap
미수국밥 본점A pork gukbap (pork soup with rice) restaurant at 80 Dasan-ro 42-gil. Sources differ on hours: three blogs from September and October 2026 give daily hours of 08:00–22:00, while Kakao Map lists 24 hours; either way it is open by 08:00. Pork gukbap is ₩10,000 (October 2026 blog and Kakao Map). Spicy pork gukbap and a large pork gukbap are ₩15,000 each, and cold noodles ₩10,000 (Kakao Map menu, updated September 2025).
