About

Food Culture Street is a dining street that has formed near Guro Digital Complex Station on Subway Line 2. It is lined with Guro-gu's top-rated restaurants, which lead the way in reducing food waste by serving clean, simple meals. Its nickname, Kkalkkal Street, is said to come from the idea that the restaurants serve their food neatly (kkalkkeum) and diners eat neatly, leaving nothing behind. At Kkalkkal member restaurants, certified by the district office as places where customers can eat with confidence, diners who finish their meals completely receive a 2% discount on the bill (as reward points). Customers can also take leftovers home in takeout containers, part of ongoing efforts to improve the local food culture. The street is home to many well-known restaurants and is popular with office workers from nearby buildings, so it gets very busy in the evenings.
