Today I'm introducing Jojo Triple Street Branch in Songdo, a spot where you can enjoy monjayaki without a trip to Japan. It's located right on Songdo Triple Street, which has plenty to see, so it's a great place to eat well and then stroll around and get some fresh air.

Inside Jojo: seating and atmosphere

Most of the tables are for two, but there are also 4-person tables, so you can drop by comfortably. Even at around 1pm on a weekday, the place was packed — a real Songdo Triple Street favorite.

It's an open kitchen, so it feels reassuring and hygienically clean

The point of any griddle dish is having a hot griddle right there on the table

Every table comes with mayonnaise, Jojo's special sauce, and tissues~~~

Side dishes that come with the set

Gear's ready too!!! Are we ready~ yes! yes! yes!

Waterfall potato

Oh~ while I was busy taking photos, my mom said it looked like a snowman, so she stuck on eyes and turned it into one lol

On top of the soft potato salad sits one soft-boiled egg, and a scattering of crispy flakes, so eating it together gives it a texture that's never boring

Karai yakisoba

True to its name, this karai (spicy) yakisoba has a mild kick

The noodles are chewy and full of umami, with plump shrimp mixed in — slightly spicy but not overwhelming, so it's easy for anyone to enjoy

With meat added to the spicy flavor, the depth really comes through

Cod roe monjayaki: what monjayaki is and how to eat it

And here it is — today's main dish, cod roe monjayaki. Monjayaki is a Japanese griddle dish made from a thin batter mixing flour, cabbage, meat, seafood, and other ingredients. It's eaten by scooping up small bites with a little spatula.

Once the griddle heats up, the staff pours the batter on and starts mixing — chap chap chap

A dazzling spatula dance unfolds on the griddle

After spreading it out wide, they shower it with cheese and set a 5-minute timer, and the waiting begins. Meanwhile, you can munch on the karai yakisoba, haha. The finished look isn't much to brag about, but it makes you imagine the taste. The square cubes are mochi — flip them once halfway through so they cook properly and get nice and chewy

After 5 minutes~ just scoop up the cod roe monjayaki with the small spatula where the bottom has browned nicely. Easy, right~ It's a savory, unfussy dish to eat, and the combination of cod roe, savory cheese, and sweet cabbage is addictive — there's real fun in scooping it up. It tastes even better once the bottom is slightly crisped, so I'd recommend waiting for that before you dig in.

Jojo Songdo's monjayaki — something you can enjoy right here in Songdo. It's also known for its yakisoba and cod roe gyoza, so I'd recommend trying a variety of dishes. And as a bonus, you get to watch the friendly staff put on their dazzling spatula dance.
