There's a lot of imported stuff these days, haha, so I got my hopes up. ## Inside the restaurant and the outdoor yajang tables ![Spacious, comfortable indoor seating at Kkalkkali Jokbal Bucheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-04-p2yvo-900.webp) There were so many customers I only managed to photograph the row I was sitting at! It was really clean and comfortable inside, and the seats were spacious too. ![Outdoor yajang table set up next to the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-05-lxvnf-900.webp) And there's this yajang (outdoor tent-style) seating area right next to the main shop — with the nice weather these days, eating out there would've been great too, haha. ## Menu and prices: medium fried jokbal and sailfish roe rice ball ![Menu board at Kkalkkali Jokbal Bucheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-06-1h5xz-900.webp) ![Menu listing jokbal and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-07-1gh7w-900.webp) Turns out you can order via table order! Haha. After some deliberating over what to eat, we went with the medium fried jokbal + sailfish roe rice ball! ![Sign for the free jaengban guksu opening event](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-08-1uh3t-900.webp) You're wondering why we didn't order the jaengban guksu (noodle platter)? They give it to you free as part of the opening event... whoa. ## How the fried jokbal tastes: crispy skin, tender meat ![Table of basic side dishes including dried radish and pickled onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-09-pu6i9-900.webp) ![Onion-chive salad and lettuce wraps side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-10-h0uzu-900.webp) The side dishes were dried radish, pickled onion, onion-chive salad, and lettuce wraps! Haha. ![Bean sprout soup served as a default side](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-11-4g704-900.webp) On top of that, the bean sprout soup was really refreshing too. ![Soju and beer ordered alongside the jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-12-o6vmy-900.webp) There was no way we weren't ordering soju and beer. Shots, shots! ![A plate of medium-sized fried jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-13-1a2ec-1200.webp) And the star of the show, jokbal... whoa, the outside looks super crispy but the inside looks super tender, right? Can these two things really coexist? ![Sailfish roe rice ball covered in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-14-1wder-900.webp) The sailfish roe rice ball was covered in seaweed, but there was actually a lot of sailfish roe underneath! ![Close-up of the tender fried jokbal meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-15-4jk25-900.webp) Oh... look how tender the jokbal is. When you bite into it, the skin part is slightly crispy and chewy, and the meat inside is super tender with a savory flavor. Haha, it looked so delicious I even took a video — what do you think? ![A piece of fried jokbal topped with dried radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-16-e78dd-900.webp) Adding a piece of dried radish on top for a bite too. The dried radish was thick and crunchy, and it went so well with the fried jokbal. ![Complimentary makguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-17-1mhut-900.webp) And then there's the complimentary makguksu (buckwheat noodles). Whoa, this barely counts as a 'freebie' anymore. ![Bowl of makguksu before mixing the sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-18-he1gc-900.webp) Mix it up! ![Mixed makguksu served alongside the fried jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-19-bps9h-900.webp) I rolled up a rice ball nice and neatly and placed it on top too, haha. The jokbal visuals are insane... this is truly a must-eat jokbal spot near Bucheon Station. ![A wrap of jokbal topped with rice ball and makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-20-alxv3-900.webp) Adding the makguksu on top cuts through the richness and makes it even tastier, and the noodle sauce was sweet and tangy and fresh — such a satisfying combination, haha. ![Final wrap piled with dried radish and pickled onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali-21-qzwwi-900.webp) Haha, for the last bite I went all out — piled on dried radish, pickled onion, makguksu, and even ssamjang (dipping sauce) before taking a bite. The soju just kept flowing. On my way out I noticed the yajang. ## Is fried jokbal too greasy? The verdict on Kkalkkali Jokbal I've been to countless restaurants near Bucheon Station, but I can confidently say this jokbal place is the clear top pick when it comes to nailing that crispy-outside, tender-inside texture. Some of you might find the whole 'fried jokbal' concept a bit unfamiliar or worry it'll be greasy. But the moist, tender texture stayed alive underneath the crispy fried coating, so I could eat it to the very last piece without getting tired of it! The combination with the fried jokbal was truly excellent. Put a tender piece of jokbal on top of the savory sailfish roe rice ball, then add the tangy makguksu and wrap it all up — it's a heavenly flavor that makes the drinks go down naturally. ## Who Kkalkkali Jokbal Bucheon Branch is best for The interior was very spacious and well-kept, clean and comfortable, and what really stood out was the outdoor yajang seating — perfect for these days when a cool breeze blows in the evening, letting you enjoy your meal in that particular atmospheric vibe. That was genuinely appealing. If you're using public transit, it's only a 5-minute walk from Exit 5 of Bucheon Station, so accessibility is excellent — it's perfect for a casual drink after work or as a meetup spot with friends!! If you want to experience the unique, addictive charm of fried jokbal, I highly recommend paying a visit! ## Where it is - Kkalkkali Jokbal Bucheon Branch (깔깔이족발 부천점) - 51 Bucheon-ro 29beon-gil, 1st floor, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 부천시 원미구 부천로29번길 51 1층 - 37.4872342, 126.7803928 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%94%EA%B9%94%EC%9D%B4%EC%A1%B1%EB%B0%9C%20%EB%B6%80%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.4872342,126.7803928,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bundang-late-tray/bucheon-station-fried-jokbal-kkalkkali/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
