There are so many bars in Bangi food alley, but there are always a few you end up going back to again and again. For me, Jojomomo is the place that comes to mind whenever I want a drink with great anju (drinking snacks). This time too, there was a bit of a wait when I arrived — about 10 minutes before I got in. Inside, it was packed with people. It had been a while since my last visit, and seeing it still so popular made me strangely happy, haha. > Jojomomo / B1, 16 Ogeum-ro 11-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul / Seating: table and bar seats / Wait at visit: about 10 minutes / Ordered: pollock roe cheese potato jeon ₩19,000 / Ordered drink: signature nurungji dongdongju 1,000ml ₩12,000 (6% ABV) ## Where is Jojomomo? A basement bar in Bangi food alley, Songpa Jojomomo is a Korean-style bar in Bangi food alley. The address is B1, 16 Ogeum-ro 11-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, and heading down to the basement reveals a completely different atmosphere from the alley outside. ![Stairway down to Jojomomo's basement entrance in Bangi food alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-01-jzkf1-966.webp) This was a place I used to come to often when I lived in Jamsil, so even the walk downstairs felt familiar and welcoming after all this time. ![Front of Jojomomo's basement entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-02-htnhp-966.webp) I couldn't get in right away this time — I waited about 10 minutes. Once inside, the place was packed with customers, which reminded me it's still a popular Jamsil bar. ## Inside Jojomomo: antique furniture, warm lighting and music Jojomomo has a hideout-like feel, with soft lighting and antique furniture. Rather than a polished, neat space, it has a slightly rugged, comfortable charm. ![Jojomomo's interior with antique furniture and soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-03-1f7sz-966.webp) Big speakers and music are also a hallmark of this space. The coziness from the furniture and lighting, combined with the music and the energy of the customers, naturally puts you in the mood for a drink. ![Jojomomo's interior atmosphere with large speakers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-04-1w0ah-966.webp) It was bustling again this time, so it suited a lively, cheerful drinking session more than a quiet, calm one. ![Vertical photo of table seating at Jojomomo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-05-14pso-905.webp) ![Bar seats at Jojomomo suitable for solo drinking](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-06-vopcq-905.webp) Besides table seats, there are also bar seats. It's good for a date with two people, and also fine for sharing Korean anju with friends. The fact that there are even seats for drinking solo feels very on-brand for Jojomomo. ## Free starter at Jojomomo: crackers, potato salad and a welcome drink At Jojomomo, there's a basic anju I secretly look forward to. It's crackers topped with potato salad, and it's genuinely delicious, haha. ![Jojomomo's basic anju: crackers and potato salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-07-tr4ie-966.webp) Piling soft, savory potato salad onto crisp crackers gives you a great texture combo. It's moister than crackers alone, and chewier and more fun than the salad alone. ![A cracker topped with potato salad, one bite-sized anju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-08-1ogy8-966.webp) ![Close-up of a plate of crackers topped with potato salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-09-5fb5x-966.webp) It's not a fancy dish, but you keep reaching for it bite after bite. It's also great to nibble on while waiting for the anju you ordered. ![Jojomomo's starter platter and welcome drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-10-qe53i-966.webp) *Starter & welcome drink* Thinking back on why I used to come to Jojomomo so often, this little basic anju is part of it. Starting with something tasty puts you in a good mood for the whole session. ## Pollock roe cheese potato jeon, 19,000 won: nutty, savory and rich The anju I ordered this time was the pollock roe cheese potato jeon (pancake). It costs ₩19,000, and it's made with low-sodium pollock roe and natural cheese. ![A full plate of pollock roe cheese potato jeon at Jojomomo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-11-gge4w-966.webp) When you think of potato jeon, crispy texture usually comes to mind first, but this one has cheese added, giving it a moist, soft charm as well. The savoriness of the golden-browned parts and the soft texture inside come together nicely. The mild potato flavor gets richer with the deep savoriness of the cheese, and the pollock roe adds a salty umami kick. It's like the pollock roe gives a punch of flavor to what would otherwise be a smoothly blended potato-and-cheese taste. ![A piece cut from the pollock roe cheese potato jeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-12-uyc5v-966.webp) It's easy to share piece by piece, so it's a good anju to slowly enjoy with a drink. The familiar potato jeon gets a twist with pollock roe and cheese, and it fits right in as a menu item for a Korean-style bar. ## Signature nurungji dongdongju, 1,000ml for 12,000 won at 6% ABV The drink I ordered alongside the pollock roe cheese potato jeon was Jojomomo's signature nurungji dongdongju (scorched rice rice wine). ![Jojomomo's signature nurungji dongdongju kettle and cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-13-u4ehe-966.webp) It's 1,000ml for ₩12,000, listed at 6% ABV. Said to be made with Jojomomo's own recipe, this savory, sweet dongdongju pairs really well with jeon. ![Nurungji dongdongju poured into a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-14-jhmjq-966.webp) The core flavor is the distinctive savory, roasted-grain taste of nurungji. There's sweetness added on top, so instead of leaving a heavy, savory aftertaste alone, it's smooth and easy to enjoy. ![A cup of nurungji dongdongju with anju on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-15-1vwbd-966.webp) ![Nurungji dongdongju and pollock roe cheese potato jeon on the table at Jojomomo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-16-taucm-1200.webp) In the reviews I looked up before visiting, a lot of people mentioned the savory nurungji aroma and sweet taste. If you like a roasted-grain flavor, this signature drink is worth trying. ## How the potato jeon and nurungji dongdongju taste together Jeon and dongdongju is a classic combo, but pairing the pollock roe and cheese potato jeon with nurungji dongdongju let me enjoy savory flavors in different ways. ![Pollock roe cheese potato jeon paired with nurungji dongdongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-17-1i4e7-966.webp) The jeon side centers on the cheese's savoriness and the pollock roe's saltiness, while the dongdongju side centers on nurungji's savory, roasted taste and sweetness — and the two sides go well together. ![A piece of potato jeon next to a cup of dongdongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-18-16vqm-966.webp) It's nice to share it piece by piece with a drink, and I liked how naturally things flowed from the basic anju through to the main dish. If you're deciding what anju and drink to get at Jojomomo, this pairing is worth considering. ## Is Jojomomo worth a return visit in Bangi-dong? Coming back to a place I used to visit often when I lived in Jamsil brought a familiar sense of comfort. After a roughly 10-minute wait, the place inside was still packed with customers, and Jojomomo's signature mix of furniture, lighting, and music was still perfect for a drink. ![Vertical photo of a drinking table under Jojomomo's lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-19-ii3l3-905.webp) ![Vertical photo of Jojomomo's bustling interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-20-d8dyu-905.webp) ![Vertical photo of a table with anju and cups at Jojomomo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-21-1ie6e-905.webp) ![Vertical photo of Jojomomo's antique furniture and decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju-22-1yu69-905.webp) From the cracker starter I love every time, to the pollock roe cheese potato jeon, to the nurungji dongdongju — this is a Bangi bar that comes to mind whenever I want to sit comfortably and share some Korean anju. If you're looking for a place for a date or a drink with friends in Bangi food alley, check out Jojomomo, where you can enjoy the atmosphere and the anju together. For me, it remains a Jamsil bar that's always welcoming to come back to. ♡ ## Where it is - Jojomomo (조조모모) - B1, 16 Ogeum-ro 11-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 오금로11길 16 B1층 - 37.5146218, 127.1090594 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A1%B0%EC%A1%B0%EB%AA%A8%EB%AA%A8/@37.5146218,127.1090594,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@crosswalk-lunch-mark/jojomomo-bangi-cracker-dongdongju/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
