Picture 1: Clarification: I took this pic half-way eating. So most of the dishes are nearly empty. All dishes used to be full. I decided to take a pic as memory because it was so delicious (half-way eating). Picture 2: The jokbal (pork leg) in small portion [The jokbal will be eaten with cabbage and a vinegar sauce. So refreshing!] As soon as you sit down, they will put a big pot of hot ddeok soup and a lot of side dishes on your table. They are free. We thought they accidentally gave us other people's pot of soup. Highly recommend you to order the jokbal (pork leg), bossam (boiled pork dish) and boiled dumpling. You may thought it is a lot but let me tell you, it is SOOOOOOOOO delicious that you WILL finish everything! I went in a family of four (we were half full before entering the restaurant). We ordered the small portion for pork leg and boiled pork dish. The small portion is HUGE too! But we were surprised we can finish everything! pork leg is soft and bossam is so refreshing! You eat the bossam with a white cabbage. DELICIOUS! LOVE EVERYTHING. We ordered the spicy noodle. It was spicy (well of course). Not very high recommended if you cannot tolerate spicy much. Service: Excellent! The waitress can speak fluent mandarin and they were very helpful and attentive. I had a great experience here.

We came early at 6+pm on a Thur, so no queue and we were urshered to L2. Shortly after we placed our order, the place were fully filled. When there, behind us was a large group of office ladies and men, obviously on company dinner, and in front was 5 guys talking korean and definitely by the culture of pouring soju & shying away while drinking - koreans...so definitely a local venue. Place not touristy, so dun expect servers to know english or mandarins that well, but I remember there's a english menu with lotsa pictures. Not sure if there's a standard serving size, but there's only 2 in my grp but lady kept saying 中 meaning medium size, so end up with alot more meat than we can relli finish comfortably. Seems like standard to serve dumplings & rice cake soup, like the side dishes, without asking. If u like pig trotters, its nice with all the collagen & all. Next table, there's a combi plate, bring a bigger grp to enjoy more variety. At L1, they offer take-aways.

April25 21, our 2nd last day in Seoul and we want to try Jokbal (pork knuckles), come out from City Hall exit 8 up the stair make a U- turn to the right walk a short distance and a small rustic lane on your left (see photo 1) walk right in till you find the eatery photo 3. They r open only at 11.30 am / for weekend 12.00 noon. We order a set for 2 @ 47K, it look a lot but we like it so much we ate everything including chewing the bone, finish the cold noodle and the soup. Then we start drinking the water provided ( a can of gas drink comes with the set.) the food was very good, we see Tik Tok how to go about eating the meal, the service lady can’t speak much english so you have to check how to go about it. There r 2-3 floor so depends what time you come in. Lady washroom on the 2nd floor and gent ground floor. If u drink it will be prefect to go along with the port knuckle. So enjoy, we recommend this place for your Korea delicious meal.

The atmosphere there was vibrant, with a mix of locals and visitors alike, all eager to savor this renowned dish. The texture of the jokbal was simply sublime, with a chewy, yet tender quality. The divine combination of garlic sauce and fresh cabbage. The pungent, aromatic garlic sauce added a burst of savory goodness to the jokbal, elevating its taste to a whole new dimension. Paired with the crispness of the cabbage, this heavenly match added both a refreshing element and a delightful contrast to the richness of the dish. Not only did the jokbal live up to its Michelin-starred reputation in terms of taste, but I also appreciated the attention to detail regarding hygiene. The restaurant maintained impeccable cleanliness, which further enhanced the overall dining experience and allowed me to enjoy my meal without any worries.

Sometimes this place just floats its way into my brain so I’d say that it lives rent free in there 🧠 Whenever I book those impulse flights to Seoul, I’d say that this place is at least 20% of the reason. What I’m trying to say is- this place is an institution, absolutely deserves their multiple years of being on the Michelin bib as the original jokbal is to die for. Love the complimentary mandu-junk too and the radish kimchi. Not a spot you should miss in Seoul- travel to Korea regularly just for food and every single person I’ve travelled with have said the same thing, “the jokbal place was definitely without a doubt my favourite restaurant in Korea”. If this doesn’t speak volumes, idk what does. If you had 24 hrs in Seoul this is the one place you should eat at.

Finding this place from googlemap, seeing that there are 2000+ reviews, later to find that it is also on michelin s bib. The main dish is so big cant order anything else, i m the first one to arrived a bit earlier than its opening time so went out to walk for five mins to come back and see a bit of a que already lined up. The pork nuckle taste good, tender and taste a bit sweet, i think i can fine tastier pork leg in Thailand though this might be the taste of Korean local which is also good. Portion is generous and price not too expensive, no English speaking, ofcos not but the service is quick and attentive.
