During my recent trip to Seoul, I discovered that Korean snacks are so much more than just food — they’re a cultural experience. From sweet and chewy treats to savory ramen and crunchy seaweed, there’s something for every kind of snacker.
If you're visiting Korea and wondering where to buy Korean snacks in Seoul, don’t waste time hopping from one store to another. Just go straight to Lotte Mart ZETTAPLEX at Seoul Station. It’s hands-down the best spot I found — not only convenient but also packed with snack options you won’t find anywhere else.
🍪 Korean Snacks Tourists Shouldn’t Miss
1. Sweet, Crunchy, and Totally Addictive
Choco Pie – A classic for a reason. Soft, fluffy, and filled with marshmallow. It reminded me of childhood lunchbox desserts — but better.
Milk Rice Crackers – Light, a little sweet, and satisfying. Bonus: they’re healthier than your average cookie.
Zero Crunch Chocolates – I grabbed a few of these as gifts and ended up eating most of them myself. No regrets!
🍬 Gummies and Korean Sweets
If you’re into chewy candy, Korea will not disappoint.
Fruit Jellies – Juicy and flavorful, these are a hit among all ages. I personally loved the mango.
Yogurt Gummies – Sweet, tangy, and so easy to snack on. I may or may not have finished an entire bag in one sitting.
Persimmon Chips – These were a surprise favorite! Naturally sweet and crispy — a healthy-ish option I kept going back to.
🍜 Ramen You’ll Want to Pack in Your Suitcase
Forget plain instant noodles. Korean ramen is next-level.
Japchae Ramen – A fun twist on Korea’s famous glass noodles. Rich, savory, and super filling.
Toowoomba Ramen – Imagine creamy pasta, but spicy and Korean. It’s strange — and it totally works.
Cheese Bokk-i – Spicy, cheesy, comforting. I saved this one for a late-night snack and it hit the spot.
🧂 Seaweed Snacks That Aren’t Just for Diets
Seaweed snacks are everywhere in Seoul — but some brands are truly worth your suitcase space.
Bibigo Seaweed Crisps – Crunchy and packed with flavor. Honey butter and wasabi were my top picks.
YANGBAN Roasted Seaweed – Super thin, salty, and delicious. A great low-calorie snack to nibble between meals.
🌰 HBAF Almonds – Your New Favorite Souvenir
If you're looking for something that’s easy to gift (and hard to resist), grab a few packs of HBAF flavored almonds.
You’ll find wild and creative flavors like:
