# Jokbal restaurant parking guide and flying fish roe rice ball - By Mina J. (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-banchan-book/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gwangsan, Gwangju - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-banchan-book/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-banchan-book/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/index.md) ## In short Kkankkanhan Jokbal Main Branch is a charcoal-scented jokbal (pig's trotter) restaurant that has long operated in Woolgye-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju. The writer ordered the charcoal-grilled jokbal for ₩39,000 plus a flying fish roe rice ball and a review-event spicy fire jokbal, with steamed egg and doenjang soup included as basic side dishes, making it a solid soju pairing. Just remember only the parking lot on the right belongs to the restaurant, and it's a good pick for a Cheomdan work dinner or date spot. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 16:00–23:30 - **Charcoal-grilled jokbal**: ₩39,000 - **Parking**: Use the parking lot on the right side of the restaurant only (the left-side lot is unrelated and charges a fee) - **Basic side dishes**: Lettuce wraps and salad, bean sprout soup, dried radish and pickled radish, doenjang (soybean paste) soup, steamed egg - **Seating**: Private rooms available, big screen for watching sports *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I want to introduce Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a charcoal-scented jokbal (pig's trotter) place that's been running for a long time in Cheomdan, Gwangju. It's popular enough to have several branches across Gwangju, but the Cheomdan location is the main branch, which makes it feel a bit more special. It's the place I often think of when picking a spot for a work dinner or a soju drink in Cheomdan, Gwangju, so I wanted to share it with you all. ## Kkankkanhan Jokbal Main Branch hours and parking lot location Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a popular blind-date and date spot in Woolgye-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju, is open from 16:00 to 23:30. The parking lot is on the right side of the restaurant — the lot on the left has nothing to do with Kkankkanhan Jokbal. If you park there, you'll be charged a parking fee, so watch out! ![Exterior of Kkankkanhan Jokbal Main Branch in Cheomdan, Gwangju, and parking direction](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-01-906mo-900.webp) This is the interior of Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a bossam (boiled pork wrap) and jokbal favorite in Woolgye-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju. There are private rooms inside too, so the space is quite spacious. ![Spacious interior of Kkankkanhan Jokbal Main Branch with private rooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-02-ycv5b-900.webp) Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a favorite spot in Cheomdan, Gwangju for baseball and soccer, has a big screen inside so you can watch baseball while eating jokbal. That day there happened to be a KIA game on. ![Large in-store screen showing a baseball broadcast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-03-dfy0l-900.webp) ## Basic side dishes include steamed egg and even doenjang soup The basic side dishes include lettuce wraps and salad ![Lettuce wraps and salad served as basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-04-1eun4-900.webp) Bean sprout soup and dried radish with pickled radish wraps ![Bean sprout soup, dried radish, and pickled radish side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-05-c8rd9-900.webp) Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a soju work-dinner favorite in Woolgye-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju, unusually also gives you doenjang (soybean paste) soup. It was nice and spicy, which made it a great soju pairing. ![A bowl of spicy doenjang soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-06-xhjjs-966.webp) Getting steamed egg as a basic side dish was really a plus. ![Steamed egg provided as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-07-sscie-1200.webp) ## Charcoal-grilled jokbal at ₩39,000 — the portion and the charcoal flavor This is the charcoal-grilled jokbal for ₩39,000 at Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a favorite for takeout and delivery in Cheomdan, Gwangju. I order it for takeout delivery sometimes too, but eating it at the restaurant gives you better temperature, so I tend to prefer dining in. ![A full spread of charcoal-grilled jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-08-1ejcy-900.webp) True to a great-value restaurant, the portion is really generous — enough for 2 to 3 people. On top of that, even though the outside has that charcoal aroma, the skin was still chewy, giving it that real satisfying jokbal-eating feel. Haha. The lean meat-only parts were tender too, so wrapped up in lettuce it was pure honey flavor. ![Charcoal-grilled jokbal meat placed on a lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-09-14x5m-900.webp) ## For sides, flying fish roe rice ball instead of makguksu You can't just eat jokbal alone, so I added some side menu items right away. ![Table setting of additionally ordered side menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-10-1afiz-966.webp) This is the flying fish roe rice ball. Using the plastic gloves provided, you shape it into a tasty rice ball. You can't skip makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) or a rice ball with jokbal, and this time I chose the rice ball instead of the noodles. ![Flying fish roe rice ball shaped using plastic gloves](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-11-1io6k-966.webp) ## The review-event fire jokbal is also a special treat Also, if you do a review event you can get fire jokbal, which has a different charm from the charcoal-grilled jokbal, so I'd recommend trying it as a taste-test. The mayo sauce and perilla leaves on top were so appealing that this was a special treat on its own, separate from the jokbal. Especially the perilla leaves on top — that's the kicker! ![Fire jokbal topped with mayo sauce and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-12-1xf8q-900.webp) Eating it like this is pure honey-flavored bliss~ ![A bite combining fire jokbal and charcoal-grilled jokbal wrapped together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-13-7yzy6-900.webp) Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a place people wait in line for in Cheomdan, Gwangju, also has various set menus, so here's a photo for your reference. ![Signage listing Kkankkanhan Jokbal's set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball-14-qlc86-900.webp) ## Wrap-up This time I visited Kkankkanhan Jokbal, a local favorite among residents of Woolgye-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great jokbal spot in Cheomdan, Gwangju, or a place for a soju drink in Woolgye-dong. ## Where it is - Kkankkanhan Jokbal Main Branch (깐깐한족발 본점) - 46 Cheomdanjungang-ro 116beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 첨단중앙로116번길 46 깐깐한족발 - 35.2157097, 126.8452659 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%90%EA%B9%90%ED%95%9C%EC%A1%B1%EB%B0%9C%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.2157097,126.8452659,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-banchan-book/gwangju-chumdan-jokbal-parking-flying-fish-rice-ball/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
