📺 TV-featured retro DIY tteokbokki near Mapo Station, Darak Jeukseok Tteokbokki

Featured on Korean TV, Darak is a long-loved old shop serving retro-style jeukseok tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) that you cook yourself in a pot at the table.

If you are staying around Mapo or Gongdeok, we recommend Darak near Exit 3 of Mapo Station for a taste of classic Korean bunsik (snack food).

Tteokbokki is ordered for 2, 3 or 4 people, and you can choose between the brothy jeukseok style or jaengban style stir-fried on a wide tray.

The classic way to finish is to stir-fry rice in the leftover sauce, and the nostalgic old-shop atmosphere adds to the charm.
