Euljiro 1-ga jokbal: order stuck 30 min, so takeout: Miss Jokbal

Today's post is a dinner spot near Euljiro-ipgu Station: Miss Jokbal!

How long is the weekday evening wait at Miss Jokbal near Euljiro-ipgu Station?

Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch (미쓰족발 서울명동점) has a wait even on weekday evenings. My friend Bang-gu and I were looking for somewhere easy for a quick first-round drink, so we headed to Miss Jokbal near Euljiro-ipgu Station for dinner!

While we waited, we spotted the area where they boil the jokbal~

How are the 1st and 2nd floors of Miss Jokbal different?

At Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch, the 1st floor is a jokbal restaurant and the 2nd floor is a gamjatang (pork bone stew) restaurant. A staff member sent us up to the 2nd floor^^

We ordered easily on the tablet PC at each seat~

How were the free stew and salad at Miss Jokbal?

The first thing I want to praise at Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch is the stew and salad that come as standard! I figured they'd be the usual jokbal-restaurant freebies, but the stew comes with kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), which felt like great value haha. It was a perfectly good drinking snack too~

The salad had fresh vegetables too, and the zesty dressing did a solid job of cutting the greasiness^^

Why the jokbal took more than 30 minutes

The jokbal we ordered by tablet on the 2nd floor of Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch didn't come after 30 minutes. No matter how long we waited, no jokbal!! After 30 minutes I asked, and it seemed that because it's such a busy restaurant with a wait, the order hadn't been passed along properly~

We planned to go with Jinro and Terra (soju and beer)~

Radish salad, sauces and steamed egg

A jokbal place has to have great radish salad (musaengchae), right? Of course it was tasty, but...

The sauces came in a nice variety too^^

And yes, the steamed egg was fine, nothing special~

How was the takeout jokbal from Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch?

Since the order was so late, we switched the jokbal to takeout. Yes, it looks good, right?^^ Glossy and glistening... It was dinnertime and we were starving. The original plan was to eat here and then head to our next appointment, but it got so late that we switched straight to takeout lol

I did work hard on the photos at Miss Jokbal near Euljiro-ipgu Station before leaving^^

Still, it came neatly packed, so it was fine to take away and eat~

What to know before visiting Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch

• The 1st floor is a jokbal restaurant and the 2nd floor a gamjatang restaurant, so first-timers might get a little confused.
• The interior is clean and the tables are spaced generously, so it looked suitable for company dinners and group gatherings.
• But orders can get mixed up in the relay, so if you want jokbal, ordering in person on the 1st floor seems safer^^

The side dishes were fine too, nothing special~

📌 Verdict: Miss Jokbal Myeongdong Branch works for a dinner or company gathering near Euljiro-ipgu Station, and it's worth a visit once if you're looking for jokbal in Myeongdong~ The stew and salad that come as standard are great value.
