The writer ordered the Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set, which came with smoky-grilled spicy jjukkumi (baby octopus), soy-based bulgogi, banchan such as acorn jelly and savory pancake, and doenjang jjigae. The jjukkumi heat stayed gentle enough that the writer's child ate it happily, and parking right in front of Eomma-ui Ttuksim was easy. ## Good to know - **Address**: 158-14 Songhak 1-gil, Kim Young Building 101–102, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (last order 21:00) - **Ordered**: Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set (뚝심쭈꾸미밥상) - **Menu lineup**: Ttuksim Set, Bossam Set, Jjukkumi Set, Pork Bulgogi Set, Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set, and the new Gochujang Pork Bulgogi Set - **Stew choice**: Every set meal includes a choice of cheonggukjang (rich fermented soybean stew) or doenjang (soybean paste stew) - **Takeout**: Available for orders of two or more - **Facilities**: Reservations, Wi-Fi, takeout, separate men's and women's restrooms, mobile payment, parking, valet parking *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Today I had plans with my kid in Paju, so for a hearty meal we stopped by Eomma-ui Ttuksim, a Korean restaurant near Unjeong that serves up all the care and grit (뚝심, ttuksim) of a mother's home cooking. ![Signature table spread at Eomma-ui Ttuksim](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-01-2cem8-1200.webp) True to its name, it really did feel like a meal a mom laid out for you, and I ate so well — here's my review :) ## Where is Eomma-ui Ttuksim, and what about parking and hours?

Parking right in front of the store also made things easy. ![Sign with a message posted outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-06-wqpy1-966.webp) > I believe in the warm strength a good bowl of rice can give you. Right? We really are a people devoted to rice. I felt like they poured that spirit right into the food haha. Also, takeout is available for 2 or more people!! ## What is the dining room at Eomma-ui Ttuksim like? ![Autographs hung on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-07-13emn-966.webp) Once I stepped in, there were so many autographs on the wall! Definitely a well-known spot! ![Interior with wood-toned tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-08-1t04d-966.webp) ![Dining hall seating with white curtain lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-09-1op85-966.webp) Inside, wood-toned tables paired with white curtain lighting gave the space a cozy but clean feel, and the tables were spaced generously apart, making it comfortable and private. The owner was also genuinely kind, which made it feel just like being home haha. ## What's on the menu at Eomma-ui Ttuksim? ![Eomma-ui Ttuksim menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-10-slahf-966.webp) The menu is pretty simple — Ttuksim Set, Bossam Set, Jjukkumi Set, Pork Bulgogi Set, and Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set, plus a new Gochujang Pork Bulgogi Set, with add-on items also available. Every meal set comes with a stew, and you can choose between cheonggukjang or doenjang! ![Table spread with an array of banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-11-169jl-966.webp) ### How many banchan come with a set meal? I came for a relaxed meal in a relaxed space, but the sheer number and variety of banchan (side dishes) felt like a full traditional Korean set meal. Stir-fried eggplant, yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), mung bean sprouts with acorn jelly, pajeon (savory pancake), stir-fried fish cake, seasoned zucchini, and fresh leafy greens for wrapping — it really felt like homemade side dishes straight from someone's kitchen!! ![Homemade-style banchan including acorn jelly and pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-12-wirlq-966.webp) And true to its name, the Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set came with soy-based bulgogi and smoky spicy octopus!!! ![Full spread of the Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-13-1nghx-966.webp) ## Is the Ttuksim Jjukkumi Set mild enough for a child? Time to dig into this hearty spread. First up, the jjukkumi (webfoot octopus)! The sauce was such a deep red I expected it to be really spicy, but it turned out to be a mild, delicious kind of spicy rather than harsh. ![Smoky spicy jjukkumi in red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-14-ss742-966.webp) ![Plate of jjukkumi with sauce soaked in](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-15-13xqb-966.webp) ![Chopsticks lifting a tender piece of jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-16-1qrh7-966.webp) The octopus wasn't chewy in a tough way — it was tender, and the sauce soaked in nicely instead of just sitting on the surface. Really good. ![Jjukkumi placed on a leafy green for wrapping](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-17-1hgej-966.webp) It was also great wrapped in the fresh greens, and I realized jjukkumi really has to be eaten with mu-saengchae (seasoned radish salad) and mung bean sprouts to be enjoyed properly haha. ![Jjukkumi served with radish salad and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-18-cxqhh-966.webp) Mixing rice into the sauce was also pure bliss! ![Rice mixed with jjukkumi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-19-3po6g-966.webp) ### Soy-based bulgogi and doenjang jjigae Next up, the bulgogi. The soy-based, smoky-flavored bulgogi had a gentle sweetness and a gentle saltiness that hit that sweet-and-savory balance just right. ![Soy-based smoky bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-20-19out-966.webp) ![A chopstick-full of bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-21-148om-966.webp) ![Bulgogi placed on a leafy green](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-22-s587m-966.webp) ![Bulgogi eaten together with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-23-1g5v8-966.webp) ![Doenjang jjigae packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal-24-1kheo-966.webp) It was great wrapped in greens and eaten with rice, and my kid especially loved it hahaha. If you're visiting with a child, I definitely recommend this place! The bubbling doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was also deeply savory, packed with hearty ingredients that made the meal feel really filling. ## Who should eat at Eomma-ui Ttuksim? - Anyone looking for a casual, satisfying Korean restaurant in Paju - Anyone in Unjeong looking for a good hanjeongsik (Korean set meal) spot - Anyone near Unjeong Lake Park looking for somewhere kid-friendly to eat - Anyone looking for a budget-friendly, filling Korean restaurant in Paju ## Where it is - Eomma-ui Ttuksim (엄마의뚝심) - 158-14 Songhak 1-gil, Kim Young Building 101, 102, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 송학1길 158-14 김영빌딩 101, 102호 엄마의뚝심 - 37.7150451, 126.7649727 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%84%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%98%EB%9A%9D%EC%8B%AC/@37.7150451,126.7649727,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangneung-salt-broth/paju-unjeong-lake-park-korean-family-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
