It has also become an old saying that Sindang-dong was called Tteokbokki only. Sindang-dong is also the best place to visit through public transportation as it is the hub of transportation where subway lines 2, 3, 5 and 6 pass, along with hot restaurants and cafes.
Sindang-dong, which earned a new nickname “Hipdang-dong (Hip + Sindang-dong)” following Eulji-ro, which was called “Hipji-ro,” is loved as a gathering place for MZ generation as there are many quiet and emotional houses and shops in alleyways. In particular, hot shops are built one after another near Sindang Station, and it is easy to find stores with waiting customers all the time. Let’s fall into the charm of Sindang-dong, where retro and modern shops meet and change.
Hipdang-dong
Chewy and chewy cuttlefish. “옥경이네건선생”.
A good restaurant located in Sindang Jungang Market. It is a place that mainly deals with dried fish, and as the cuttlefish menu has emerged hot on SNS, it has become a restaurant where people eat in line. It is a thick, well-dried fish that sells menus such as stew, soup, and grilled. The signature grilled cuttlefish is famous for its visual that plump cuttlefish are piled up on a plate. It does not dry properly and has a chewy and chewy texture. It goes well with Cheongyang chili pepper mayonnaise sauce with plenty of chili powder.

▲ Review
(siksin 이웃집강아지): It is a restaurant that serves only natural semi-dried fish sent by families in Jeolla-do, and is a flagship restaurant in the central market. It is difficult to go easily because there are more customers after going to the Wednesday Food Talk. It is good to eat rare fish at a relatively low price. In winter, croaker soup is quite good.
Argoni kalguksu with blue sea. “하니칼국수”.
The restaurant was launched by three famous restaurants, Geumpig Restaurant, Mongtan, and Teorak. It has emerged as a hot place as soon as it opened with a retro mood and distinctive menu that exudes from its exterior. In the signature “Algoni Kalguksu,” the taste of chewy and savory intestines is excellent as it thawed pollack’s egg shells and Iri, caught the fishy taste, and boiled in kalguksu. The spicy taste of the soup, which is mixed with three kinds of red pepper powder and Cheongyang red pepper, also goes well with winter. Boiled pork, which is boiled with more than 12 ingredients, is also popular as a side menu.

(siksin 비타민젤리): Sindang-dong has a lot of good restaurants these days. It’s a kalguksu restaurant opened by the owners of Tteurak, Mongtan, and Geumpig restaurants. I think kalguksu is the main dish, but there are various side dishes. I liked the algoni kalguksu egg, plenty of gon, and spicy soup.
If you love wine, you’ll be a regular, 디핀.
If you love food, wine, and music, you have no choice but to become a regular here. It is a dining-oriented space where you can share experiences with people in a good space. You can enjoy small plates that can be easily enjoyed and wine from natural to convention. The popular menu, Sourdough Bread and Truffle Butter, is a menu that you can enjoy with truffle butter on your homemade sourbread, boasting a perfect match for wine. Ram, which cooks Australian lamb ribs very smoothly, is also recommended.

(siksin 부사너): There are unique dishes that you can’t see anywhere else, and they’re even delicious.;; Personally, I was more satisfied than looking for a fine dining course. I’m also into natural wine these days, and it goes well with cooking and the owner is very kind, so I really want to visit it every day.
A cocktail bar with a fun concept, “주신당”
It opened with the concept of a “new shrine dedicated to God” after the name “Sindang-dong” originated from a shaman village located in the east of Gwanghwamun. The exterior decorated with amulets and gold strings is interesting even before entering the store because the entrance is unknown. The interior is decorated with brilliant objects and dreamy atmosphere under dark lighting, giving the impression of being in another world. A great place to enjoy twelve signature cocktails and tapas with the motif of the twelve zodiac signs. It is also recommended to welcome the New Year with a “rabbit” cocktail with a fragrant yeast scent and savory flavor.

(siksin 533462): It was brilliant. In line with the name of Sindang-dong, which is a neighborhood where shamans lived together, the unique space created with the concept of a new party is full of characteristics, and the signature cocktail called 12 God is also unique.
“심세정” a bakery cafe that calls the Bbangji pilgrimage.
A bakery cafe with a sensuous space created by combining past landscapes and architectures with modern sensibilities. As the name of the store, Shim Se-jeong, which means “a pavilion where you wash your mind and stay comfortably,” suggests, the interior that aims for a comfortable rest space is attractive. Bakery products such as croissants, pretzels, nampagne, and ciabatta made using healthy ingredients and various drinks are prepared from early morning. When the weather is good, the outer terrace seats are also open, so it is good to refer to.
