Amazing jokbal (sliced pigs feet). Tender, soft, warm, and juicy. Real comfort food. Price is fair given how much work they put into making it. Service is average, and you will have to raise a hand here and there to get your server's attention. But, this place hits hard when you are craving jokbal. Add a few beers, some soju, and some buddies with a large order, and it's good times.
Excellent Bossam. All the fixings. Classic KTown comfort food. Too expensive for everyday people. Great to treat out of towners.
Very good! One of the best! Only get jokbal from here. The large jokbal is pricey now... but it's good!! The service is good. I only Togo.
Wow i didn't realize this is the place my MIL brings takeout from and i finally came to the establishment years later. This place is easy to miss and is tucked behind the elevator column in the parking lot. It's definitely an OG spot as my husband's family says. The cold noodles, bossam and wraps, pancakes and soups were all really good. I can see why my Korean husband's family frequents here. The prices aren't bad either! Service is quick. Parking was easy too as they have their own lot.
If you like Jokbal (braised pig feet dish from Korea) and Bossam (pork belly). This is a must spot to check out in Ktown. The meat is pleasantly aromatic with yummy spices and so so tender. Do try their Makgooksoo (spicy noodle salad) and Nokdoojeon (mung bean pancake). Also, Makgoli (traditional Korean rice wine) is a great paring option for their menu.
Jang Choong Dong Jokbal has been a KTown mainstay for quite some time (though has changed locations at least once). Located now in a small plaza with Tom Tom's Coffee, Jang Choong is a casual homely spot where you'll find folks that have likely been coming here for decades grab a dinner on a weekday. When we came, there was no wait and plenty of seating. The jokbal was well cooked and had good flavor and bite to it. The bossom was very fatty and delicious. Blood sausage here is solid. And the seafood pancake reminded me of a deep dish pizza - the thickest pancake I've had. Overall an enjoyable experience. Decent amount of free parking in the plaza. There's a few 30 min spots but not sure if it's closely checked.
I didn't know that this is the best place to get braised pork hock aka jokbal in Ktown! Not even sure if they are on social media because most of the customers are our parents age and didn't see anyone younger than 60! But that's when you know that the place is legit! They also have to blood sausage, but I heard that you made me go here for the jokbal. We also got the spicy noodles and it complimented the jokbal along with soju from the market! We called to do a pick up about 20 minutes prior to going there. Parking can be tricky because the lot is small. Highly recommended! Not sure if they do ubereats though. Check them out if you're into jokbal!
Veggies and meat taste fresh. Service was good, restaurant felt clean. Food came out in good time.
If you're looking for some good pork feet and steamed pork belly, this is the place! As you can see in the picture, both of them are juicy, fresh and packed with flavors! Not much else on the menu other than this and always good with a couple glasses of soju! Giving 4 star because of service. Not really the best service. A couple of them were either condescending or had a tone but not enough to ruin the meal. When we came there weren't many other patrons there so we enjoyed that
