1.  Samgyeopsal (especially the galbi - not sure if its still called samgyeopsal then... cause samgyeopsal means three layered skin or something like that)
2.  Dolsot bibimbap
3.  Bokkeumbap
4.  japchae
5. buldalk (spicy chicken)

I saw an article in the Korea Herald a while back, it listed tteokbokki as the number 1 streetfood for foreigners in korea...

That's a Korean Herald article I can believe.

Anyone else notice that Korean street food is VERY limited in variety (sure there's the rare exception, but...)

The top 4 things in that article amount to 90%.  Compare ddeokbokki with the other items.

dak-kkochi-Not as common as others, but good decent.
Soondae-Fairly bland stuff.
Fritters-Stuff that just sits out and gets fried multiple times (with little care, unlike Korean chicken which is twice-fried for a reason.)

No, it wouldn't be called samgyupsal, you'd just call it galbi. Samgyeopsal refers to fatty pork belly, and you're right, it can be translated as three layered meat.

Actually, I think you spelled it right -- you mean the rice cakes that Koreans usually eat during Chuseok, right? I like them, too.
