There's so much street food in Jeonju Hanok Village that choosing what to eat becomes a happy dilemma haha, but skewers are the best thing to eat while wandering around! Here's an introduction to Munkkocchi, an octopus skewer shop inside the Hanok Village.

They display four flavors of skewers right from the entrance, which made choosing easy :D

How long is the wait for takeout at Munkkocchi?

No need to worry about waiting! It only takes about 5 minutes from grilling to saucing. Since the weather's warmed up these days, you could even plan out the rest of your Hanok Village route while you wait!

The little octopus doll that always catches kids' attention is so cute haha

The great thing about skewer food is that it's easy to eat on the move, but there are also seats out front if you'd rather sit and enjoy it comfortably~

Cheese octopus gangjeong and a three-item late-night snack spread

The cheese octopus gangjeong arrived. I was surprised at how much cheese was sprinkled on it. The owner's generosity with ingredients...!

Of course, since it's a snack with cheese in it, you should eat it before the cheese cools and sets — it's much tastier that way :D

It feels a bit different from takoyaki. Maybe because it's gangjeong, it's chewier and nuttier.

For skewers, we ordered katsuo octopus and mala chicken. I was curious what a mala-flavored chicken skewer would taste like.

Getting the 3-item late-night snack spread ready to enjoy with non-alcoholic beer.

How spicy is the mild mala chicken skewer?

We ordered the mild version of the mala chicken skewer, and I liked that the mala flavor came through only very lightly. Mala tends to be love-it-or-hate-it, right? But I ate it without any hesitation. It would be good spicy too!

Is the katsuo octopus skewer different from takoyaki?

The katsuo octopus skewer was really nutty and savory. The ingredients are similar to takoyaki so I thought it would taste similar, but personally I found it lacked the greasiness of takoyaki, making it more clean and light to enjoy :D

Since I was eating skewers while watching a movie, I took all the meat off the skewers beforehand in case the sauce started dripping.

With chopsticks I'd brought along, I enjoyed the octopus skewers piece by piece while watching a movie! The skewers I always used to eat before were chicken skewers, so this was my first time trying octopus skewers, and they were lighter and cleaner-tasting.

Is Munkkocchi worth a takeout stop in Jeonju Hanok Village?

A mala octopus flavor anyone can enjoy — and eat the cheese one while it's still warm!

Whether you eat it while strolling through Jeonju Hanok Village or sitting comfortably in a chair, Munkkocchi is always a great answer for a late-night snack haha. That wraps up my review of Munkkocchi Mungangjeong Jeonju Hanok Village Branch, the perfect spot for chicken and octopus skewers in Jeonju Hanok Village!
