Korea time, from recent reviews. Hours may differ on holidays.
Namdaemun Market's famous savory hotteok stand. Instead of the usual sweet syrup, a golden fried pancake is stuffed with glass noodles and vegetables and dipped in soy sauce; there's a sweet seed version too. The line is part of the experience.
