The Emperor's Jokbal costs 58,000 won, is sliced warm right after ordering, and arrives with three dipping sauces, lettuce, dried radish strips, garlic and free kimchi kalguksu and salad. Miss Jokbal is best visited by four people rather than two, since one platter is a generous spread to share. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Emperor's Jokbal (braised pork hock) - **Price**: 58,000 won - **Included with your order**: Free kimchi kalguksu and salad with any jokbal or bossam order, whatever the size, as stated by the restaurant - **Cooking note**: Boiled more than 6 times a day, as stated by the restaurant - **Takeout**: Available - **Price reference**: ₩58,000 ≈ $43 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Glossy jokbal in Myeongdong at Miss Jokbal ![First image with jokbal introduction text](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-01-1vv3c-966.webp) If plain jokbal is coffee, this jokbal is the TOP... The real charm of jokbal (braised pork hock) is that shiny, glossy skin and the chewy texture that clings to your mouth. Bite into a piece and you feel the springy skin and tender meat at the same time — the more you chew, the more a subtle sweetness and umami spreads richly through your mouth, you know? Add garlic, ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), and a leaf of lettuce, and the deep flavor of the meat bursts together with a crisp crunch in one bite, you know? Pair it with spicy-sour radish kimchi on top and all the greasiness disappears — your chopsticks just keep going. Great for a late-night snack, a drinking companion, or a dinner menu shared with a group! Slurp... isn't there a good jokbal place in our neighborhood? ## A trip back to Myeongdong after a long time ![Restaurant visit image in the context of a Myeongdong outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-02-om8b5-966.webp) ![Restaurant visit image in the context of a Myeongdong outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-03-17hen-966.webp) ![Restaurant visit image in the context of a Myeongdong outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-04-1nv5f-966.webp) ![Vertical image in the context of a Myeongdong outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-05-oehyk-1200.webp) ![Restaurant visit image in the context of a Myeongdong outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-06-1chcb-966.webp) An outing to Myeongdong after a long while~ there were even more foreigners than I expected! ![Warm jokbal sliced right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-07-1yuld-966.webp) Warm jokbal sliced right after ordering — there's no way it isn't delicious... slurp... ## How much is Emperor's Jokbal, and what comes free?

They say it's Myeongdong's most popular jokbal restaurant, boiled more than 6 times a day. When jokbal alone feels like it needs company, there's plenty to add! It's stated that ordering jokbal or bossam (boiled pork wrap) comes with free kalguksu and salad, and that any size of jokbal or bossam order gets free kimchi kalguksu and salad. ## Starting the meal with spicy kimchi kalguksu ### What the kimchi kalguksu broth tastes like ![Spicy kalguksu broth image](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-10-17hod-966.webp) With broth this spicy, you could eat even the driest cut of meat! ### Three dipping sauces served with the jokbal ![Salted shrimp, ssamjang, and spicy sauce image](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-11-p55rw-966.webp) Salted shrimp, ssamjang, and spicy sauce — all three! ## The Emperor's Jokbal platter on a round tray ![Emperor's jokbal and side dish spread image](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-12-1yfqm-966.webp) Whoa... the emperor's jokbal makes its grand entrance on a round platter~!! Lettuce wraps, tofu kimchi, shrimp salad, keto gimbap, japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), cheonsachae (shredded jellyfish-like noodles), radish pickle, and napa cabbage kimchi... every irresistible Korean flavor gathered in one place!! ### Adding the kalguksu noodles to the kimchi broth ![Kimchi soup with kalguksu noodles image](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-13-1rxni-966.webp) They add kalguksu noodles to the bubbling kimchi soup~!!

Yes, certified! Down to the very last bite... I won't miss it! > Sooooo goooood! I've learned that the true proof of a good restaurant is an empty bowl!! ## How many people should share Emperor's Jokbal? ![Image in the context of recommended group size for emperor's jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-23-14s1q-966.webp) ![Image in the context of recommended group size for emperor's jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter/myeongdong-jokbal-four-person-platter-24-6bwiv-966.webp) If two of you go, one bowl of emperor's jokbal will have leftovers... I'd recommend going as four!
