Gwangjang Market Card Payment 2026: Which Stalls Take Cards, Which Are Cash Only

Per the listing for Soonhee's Bindaetteok on the travel platform Trazy, credit cards are listed as an accepted payment method, and the stall is open daily from 8am to 11:30pm. The prices — 4,000 won for mung bean pancake, 2,000 won for meatballs, 3,000 won for makgeolli — come from the same listing, which also describes the ordering process: at these street-stall-style seats, you tell staff your order from the menu first, then take a seat and wait for the food. Street-food prices can shift over time, so it's worth double-checking the posted menu on site. Separately, media reports from the Seoul Shinmun and The Fact in 2025-2026 found that a significant number of other Gwangjang Market food-alley stalls refuse cards or say "bank transfer only," and Jongno-gu and the merchants' association have pushed a stall-operator registration system and card-payment proxy services to address it. In short, the market isn't uniformly cash-only or card-friendly — it varies stall by stall, so carrying some cash is the safer bet. This was checked on Trazy's store listing page and related media coverage on 2026-11-03.
