Seongsu Jokbal 성수족발
Seoul · Seongsu & Seoul Forest · Meal
Jokbal is braised pig's feet, sliced thin and eaten with salted shrimp sauce, garlic and lettuce. This shop in Seongsu serves it in portions that stay generous even when you order the small size. The meat is tender and gelatinous, with a savory soy glaze, and the flavor is mild enough for newcomers.
Many diners add cold buckwheat noodles known as makguksu, a refreshing counterpoint to the richness. The dining room is unfussy, with fast service and shared tables. Because it is an acquired taste for some visitors, order a small plate to start.
Hours and prices may change, and the restaurant may close one day a week.
Seongsu Station (성수역), Line 2, is a short walk. The shop is on a side street close to the station.
