Songjeong Tteok-galbi Alley is only a 5-minute walk from Gwangju Songjeong Station, where a number of tteok-galbi restaurants are all packed into one place. Tteok-galbi is a grilled meat patty that is finely minced and seasoned, a traditional food still very popular today.

Restaurants serving the dish are lined up here, and use a mixture of both beef and pork to give added smoothness and texture to the dish. Recipes vary depending on which restaurant you visit. Some may only sell tteok-galbi made either of beef or pork, but not both. Grilled tteok-galbi is commonly served on top of steamed rice, but it tastes even better when taken with bibimbap.
