Come join us for a Korean street food tour as we head over to Seomun Market (서문시장) in Daegu, Korea to sample a number of savory and sweet items. As the largest traditional market in Daegu, Seomun (西門市場), known as ‘west gate’, is a great place to eat street food, go shopping and enjoy people watching as there are over 4000 stalls.

Korean Street Food Tour at Seomun Market (서문시장) in Daegu, Korea:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.

The market was awesome. All the nice kitchen ceramics for kimchee making and for bibimbap.. I would love to visit it.
Que delicia de comida. Excelentes youtubers y sus videos son los mejores. Saludos Samuel y David, desde Oaxaca México.
Another awesome video!!! How/where did you learn to speak Korean? Did the market have fabric area?
Loved it!
Hey Sam, do most people in Korea (or maybe just Daegu) eat at food stalls since it's so much food for the price? Or is it still just a treat? Is it mostly locals or a mix with tourists?
The diversity of food in your videos is amazing!
I'm really concerned about your belly.😆 it's growing..
파전 and 해물파전 these are most common 파전s in korea ! Maybe 김치전 too. My mum always makes one of these 파전s when rains
I have been to Daegu but I have never been to 서문시장! I will denfinately visit there in my next trip to S. Korea!
the other dude luvs free stuff. look at his face when they say free
The food looks great. Greetings https://youtu.be/87z8WzILY-g
Never been to Korea, but already put in our list…and the things made us want to visit Korea is the food! Thanks for share this video.
Sam, are you also conversant in Korean?
sorry i have not been here for a while DRAMA but glad to see you all are still rocking the videos
1. Great video quality, but I hate how it looks like 1.25x normal speed.
2. I had never heard of Daegu until this video. Thanks, Sam.
3. Good job learning Korean.
Did Audrey like your gift? 😄
wow! 한국말도 잘 쓰시네요… 영상 화질도 너무 좋아요.. 대구에 직접 가본 느낌 입니다. ^^
Seoul is expensive. Welcome Daegu💕💕
Free cable car ride! How awesome! And what an amazing market and the street food looks so good. In Puerto Rico our blood pork sausage is called Morcilla…. although it isn't spicy and no noodles in it. But it's so delicious. Super awesome video! 🙂
O man I want that red table.
3 more weeks and I will be back in Korea. I have just added Daegu to my list of cities to explore because of this video! OMG my mouth is salivating at work. I cannot wait, the Hotteok is my favorite dessert too, I cannot wait to try all the different regional variations to the street food staples. I have not see you eat my favorite street food, mandoo, do you guys not like it? Ugh.. so excited to be stuffed with yummy Korean food goodness!
that's… unbeliebubble! 😀 😉
Just amazing. The market looks massive. Korea is just awesome.. I haven't come across anything like this… I think you need over a month to complete this market area. Kudos to both of you. Waiting for more..❤️❤️❤️
ahhahahahahahah I think I saw you guys at the train station. I've never tried any of those there, I feel a bit ashamed lol. I might try next week. thank you so much for introducing Daegu to Daegu guy like me hahahahahaha
I dig the way you hang together. David is a great travel companion. I have the sense that that he "comfortable in his skin "
Thanks for this excellent series!
Good video! although young people don't go to the Seomun market because of unkindness, complexity and dirty, I recommend you the Seomun night market which has so many fusion foods, busking and some accessories.
Bring back a lot good memories when my family and I lived in Daegu. I love Daegu and South Korea…stay strong Korea, things will get better soon with the current Coronavirus crisis. 🙏🙏🙏
Another great Korea video! South Korea was never high on my list of places to travel to but now it shot right to the top and I'm itching to go! Love that you explore lesser know towns/cities too. Also love how excited you get when sharing your favourite foods and places. Your love for the city/country really shines through! Off to binge more videos from this series!
Daegu Metro Line 3 is located in front of Seomun Market.
Long monorail, and various tourist attractions is the world's most mileage can go. Seomun Market, and suggest you to go to night. At night, selling more food.
I love Daegu Food, Daegu is one of my favorite city for food.
