Tongin Market is a traditional market in Seoul. It was originally set up in 1941 for Japanese residents during the Japanese occupation. As the population increased street vendors used the area as their marketplace. There are 75 stores in the market. Most of them are restaurants and grocery stores. There are other stores such as watches, bedding, shoes, and other goods.
There is also a cafe called Dosirak cafe. (Dosirak means lunchbox). For 5000 won (about $5) you can purchase a tray and 10 tokens. Use the tokens at participating vendor stalls with the 'cafe' sign. Items range from 1 token (500 won) to 3 tokens (1500 won).
I got a nice size lunch for 5000 won!
