Myth Jokbal Hongdae — Restaurant in Seoul

This was the first meal when I just arrived in Korea today. It was pretty nice and comfortable.

Firstly, I had a fly fish roe rice as a starter, (₩4900), it’s indescribably amazing that it got the crispy seaweed and the crunchy-ish fly fish roe in the rice. 4.5/5

Of course, I also had a jokbal, and it looked pretty nice. But sadly, it was not my favourite by the fact that I’m not a meaty person, it was pretty chewy though. (₩39000) 3/5

As you see in the photo, I ordered a bowl of spicy noodles in the bowl, and I MUST admit that it’s SOOOOOOO scrumptious when you add it in the Tteokbokki sauce! 5/5, it’s slayin’! Lastly, the Tteokbokki was pretty nice, it’s chewy and tasty. There were also some fish balls and some eggs in the sauce though. 4.5/5

Must admit that transitional Korean food are SERIOUSly INCREDIBLE.

It took us for a total price of ₩125000, to be honest, there were still some other food I had, but I did not take it in the...

Myth Jokbal is a unique and flavorful restaurant that offers great value. It’s definitely on my list of recommendations for tourists visiting the area, especially because it serves a special kind of meal I hadn’t tried before. While some locals may wonder why so many foreigners visit Myth Jokbal, I personally think it’s worth a visit at least once.

The restaurant’s signature dish is pork leg with garlic sauce. The meat is tender, not overly greasy, and the garlic sauce adds an unforgettable punch of flavor — it’s what makes the dish truly stand out. In addition to the pork leg, the set also comes with side dishes like Korean miso soup, salad, and steamed eggs. (If I remember correctly, the miso soup and salad are included with the combo, and we only ordered the steamed eggs as an extra.)

Overall, Myth Jokbal offers a great dining experience, especially for first-time visitors looking to try something new and...

🇰🇷 Visited 12/12/2023 Cold winter 🥶 Tuesday evening. The following sharing are based on our unbiased personal opinion and experience.

Was strolling along hongdae street. And was contemplating what to eat and we came across this Myth Jokbal restaurant. We have heard many experiences shared by friends on the delicious jokbal.

We are a group of 06 pax consisting of 3 adults and 3 children. The waiting time was around 10 minutes. And we are shown to our table. And place order for 2 main courses of jokbal with different cooking. 1 with braised and the other blanch.

There were several side dishes served and a complimentary soup with noodles. We also ordered 2 servings of tuna rices and seaweed rice 🍚 for the kids.

The jokbal was really succulent and flavourful with the sauces. We were really happy with the dishes even though the service was below average.

4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the good and satisfying dinner we...
