On Saturday I went to Jogane Gabojingeo Mulwang Hosu Branch (조가네갑오징어 물왕호수점), a well-known cuttlefish bulgogi spot near Mulwang Lake in Siheung.

For anyone planning a day trip to Siheung, I want to introduce a place I visited myself and was really happy with: Jogane Gabojingeo Mulwang Hosu Branch, near Mulwang Reservoir. It already has a great reputation among locals, so I arrived with high expectations.
A top cuttlefish restaurant at Mulwang Lake: what is the atmosphere like?
The first thing I noticed on arrival was how well kept the place is. Open 365 days a year, Jogane uses a somewhat special ingredient, cuttlefish, yet the mood is relaxed and easy for anyone to walk into.
The area around Mulwang Lake is famous for its scenery and is a popular drive course. Jogane is perfectly placed for a light stroll around the reservoir before or after your meal. Natural light pours in through the big windows, so the interior is bright and pleasant, which put me in a good mood too.
How do the cuttlefish bulgogi taste, and how big are the portions?
The biggest reason I came to Jogane was the cuttlefish bulgogi (spicy marinated cuttlefish).
The spicy, rich sauce blends with the cuttlefish's signature springy bite, and the savory flavor just bursts in your mouth with the first bite. As someone who loves spicy food, it was exactly my taste.
Jogane is also great value. The pieces of cuttlefish are big and plentiful, so I left completely full. Side dishes can be refilled at the self-serve corner.
What else is on the menu besides cuttlefish bulgogi?
Besides bulgogi, there are plenty of choices: a hot pot (jeongol) with a refreshing broth, and pork belly dishes pairing savory pork belly with chewy squid. For families, I recommend the scallop bulgogi. The mild sweetness of scallops makes it something everyone from kids to grandparents will enjoy.
We added sides like pajeon (scallion pancake) and fried items too, which made for a table full of food. It felt special because it is rare to find a Mulwang Lake restaurant that sticks to the basics and traditional cooking like this.
What about a walk at Mulwang Reservoir and group meals at Jogane?
The restaurant has group seating for up to 40 people, so it looked well suited to company dinners and family gatherings. After the meal, the atmosphere of the reservoir felt even deeper.
Another big plus was the roomy parking, which let us relax without any parking stress. Breathing clean air away from city noise, I felt Jogane is more than a restaurant; it is like a little retreat.
You can enjoy beautiful autumn leaves in fall and cool breezes in summer, so it seems worth visiting in every season. I could see why so many people name it a top Mulwang Lake restaurant.
