The activity was very enjoyable, and we tried different traditional dishes. All of them were delicious. Joon, the guide, was very considerate to everyone and livened up the group with his fun and friendly nature. He talked about Korean culture and his personal perspective. He also showed us how to make somaek, and we played some games. We had a lot of fun. Definitely recommended.

We had the best time on this tour with Tan!
He was so fun and made the night really enjoyable for the whole group. Would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique night in Seoul.

From the moment we met, Tan radiated enthusiasm and warmth that instantly set the tone for the tour. As soon as our group was complete, he confidently led us toward the market, weaving excitement into every step. His passion for Korean cuisine was infectious—each dish we tried came with a lively explanation, a sprinkle of language learning, and fascinating stories about the market’s history and traditions.
I especially appreciated how Tan introduced us to the cultural nuances around alcohol in Korea, including the respectful hierarchy based on age and how drinks are served. It added a layer of depth to the experience that went far beyond just tasting food. The tteokbokki was deliciously spicy and comforting, and the makgeolli—sweet, smooth, and slightly fizzy—was a standout favorite.
Tan made the drinking game fun and inclusive—an unexpected highlight of my night.
Tan’s energy, cultural insight, and ability to connect with everyone made the tour not just enjoyable, but truly memorable.

Yoon was a great tour guide and shared great information about the food and the customs. We tried things we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own.
Highly recommend
