- MrsGNZSouth Island, New Zealand403 contributionsWe came here for the stall featured in Netflix. Her food is tasty. We didn't wonder around for things other than the food.Written 21 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We went on a group tour. The group tour did enjoy special allocation during the queue time for the elevators. Avoid peak time to visit.
After exiting on L117 take your time to go up to L123, level by level using the elevators. The lifts are super, hardly any jerks or discomfort.
The view is fantastic on a clear day. You see concrete buildings all round. The Han river is a sight to behold. The keen eyes can spot your favourite places,including the airport reserved for the real VIPs,including the US President.
There are good photo spots and a piano on one of the upper levels. Good cafe stops are also on the upper levels.
The shopping mall on ground level is huge.
You can allocate one hour for the Tower and another hour for the shopping mall.

However even if you aren’t shopping worth a visit exploring the little alleyways lined with stalls. Recommend going later in the day when everything is open. Heaps of little street food stalls as well also well worth experiencing.Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TaherAlbaghliJulianKuwait City, Kuwait1,960 contributionsGarosu-gil, also known as (Tree Lined Street ). Is one of the famous street in
Seoul. We enjoyed walking in cute & fashionable neighborhood w lots of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes etc in Gangnam next to Sinsa Station. This
street is small. It is worth visitWritten 12 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Location was very convenient for us since we stayed at Lotte Executive Tower and it was well connected with underground shopping too.Written 11 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elisabeth O FMatawan, NJ21 contributionsVery local meat market. A lot of varieties. We had lunch for 4 and spent around $112. You buy your meat and the butcher will bring you to the restaurant. They will charge 6000wons for charcoal and side dishes. Again, the market is very local, so be prepared of the environment.Written 24 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MisterUserNameAtlanta, GA357 contributionsNice underground shopping mall that’s about 1km long. Lots of shops, but most of them sell the same stuff - clothes, accessories, luggage, shoes, purses, socks, blankets, paintings, flowers, and more.
We used to shop at Dongdaemun, but prefer Goto Mall now, at least you can see the prices upfront.
Two food courts, one on each end. Tarot reading booths and massage chairs, too. Get a 10 minute massage for 10,000 won.
Don’t get fooled about the clearance sale, same price the next day we noticed.Written 24 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnLil942 contributionsHongdae is interesting as a fun and affordable student ghetto shopping area. The soldiers who are 19-20 year olds mingle with university female students, and young pop street performers are common. You can take line 1 or Seoul station two stops to 4 (Blue) Samgakji station to transfer to orange line 6 Sangsu station. (Exit 1 is at the intersection or cross the street from exits 3-4 escalators there). Three or so more stops (Sangsu) takes you to Hongdae or take bus 7011 Jungju on Dongmak-ro. From there, walk downhill on Wausan-ro. Bus 16 takes you closer to the head at Ol Cafe or the glass family Karaoke building. On foot, pass Gusto Taco and Nike to reach the sign to Hongik Univ. (Right). Another right at the Rooftop Camping jazz signs beside Hongik-ro 2-Gil reveals a busy Z Gen. strip of shoe stores and eats. (On the left side uphill toward the head of the street reveals clothing/apparel bazaar—split between men’s wear on the left and Women’s clothes on the right. Across from green Troubadour is a standup K-pop figure, JK’s Magic Shop (Jungkook). There’s also a Pop Mart across from Heuk Gwa Dang bubble tea and sitting in the Hollys Coffee above street entertainment affords a view up to H&M kitty corner from Footlocker.Written 3 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JHLSeoul, South Korea8,751 contributionsThis is a really huge culture complex close from Yeongdeungpo Station. Good to visit.
- The location is 5~10 min walk from Metro Yeongdeungpo Station. Underground Mall between subway station and the entrance has many affordable shops and they are worthy of spending time, too.
- There are multiplex theater, department store, restaurant cluster, etc.
- Really spacious. Enough number of escalators at each floor. Comparing to other gigantic shopping complex in Seoul, Times Square has some tranquility. Quite comfortable to shop around.
- I was a little bit disappointed this complex wasn't having much places for relaxing or to have fun. Just eating and shopping for a short visit. I don't know if there were enough. We were unable to find, though.Written 18 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Excellent ambience, big & very classy, lots of great products. But very upscale, very expensive . Great for browsing especially the supermarket. But not for buying.Written 23 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
