If you are looking for the absolute best night view and local food experience in Seoul, nothing beats the Yeouido Hangang Park Night Market. Following its massive success last year, the market is back in 2026, combining romantic Han River sunsets, stunning seasonal vibes (like the cherry blossom peak!), and a paradise of street food.
Whether you are planning a casual evening stroll or a perfect romantic riverside date, here is everything you need to know about navigating the food trucks, prices, and amenities like a true insider.
1. How to Get There & Location
The heart of the Yeouido Night Market is incredibly easy to find.
By Subway: Take Seoul Subway Line 5 to Yeouinnaru Station and take Exit 2. The moment you step outside, you will be greeted by the lively energy, music, and aromas of the food trucks gathered in one convenient area.
What’s New?: If you haven't visited in a while, you'll notice a beautiful, modern Hangang Park Starbucks has opened near the water! It adds a much cleaner, more comfortable vibe to the park, making it a great spot to grab a coffee before the sunset.

2. The Ultimate Food Truck Feast: Menus & PricesThe main event at Yeouido is undoubtedly the massive lineup of food trucks. They cook everything fresh on the spot, providing the ultimate Korean street food experience. Here are the crowd favorites and their current 2026 prices:
Giant Chicken Skewers (왕닭꼬치): A must-try Han River staple. Priced at 6,000 KRW each, you can choose between savory salt-grilled (So-geum-gui) or sweet Teriyaki. The combination of green onions, juicy chicken, and smoky grill flavor is perfection.
Crispy Dakgangjeong (Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken): This is usually the most popular truck with the longest line.
Fresh Atom Churros (아톰츄러스): For dessert, look for the truck frying fresh churros on the spot. At 4,000 KRW for a massive stick covered in cinnamon sugar, it is crisp, hot, and highly recommended!
Other Local Favorites: You can also find Jumbo Takoyaki, Grilled Pork Belly (Tong-samgyeop), instant Korean savory pancakes (Pajeon/Kimchijeon), and fun snacks like tornado potatoes and Tanghulu.

3. Pro Tips for Parking & Staying Warm
Parking Hacks (🚗): If you are driving or taking a taxi, note that Yeouido Hangang Park Parking Lot 2 is the absolute closest to the night market. If it is completely full (which happens quickly on weekends), head to the relatively quieter Parking Lot 1—it requires a short walk, but it will save you hours of traffic jams.
Beat the Cold (⚠️): Even if the daytime weather is warm, the wind blowing off the Han River gets incredibly chilly after sunset. Make sure to pack a thick jacket or hoodie, and bringing a reusable hand warmer (Hot-pack) is a genius move that will save your date!
