A married couple ordered the Lovers' Set, which comes with charcoal-grilled jokbal, makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) and cider, and found the lean meat moist and the skin springy. The warm eomuk (fish cake) broth served as a side dish reset the palate between bites, making Kkankkanhan Jokbal an easy choice for a two-person dinner. ## Good to know - **Order**: Lovers' Set (charcoal-grilled jokbal + makguksu + cider) - **Address**: 82 Yongbongtaekji-ro, Buk-gu, Gwangju (Yongbong-dong 1389-1) - **Hours**: Daily 16:00 - 23:30 - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use nearby side streets - **Discount**: Takeout discount available *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Featured photo of the lovers' set at Kkankkanhan Jokbal Yongbong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-01-1439y-1200.webp) My husband and I were trying to figure out what to have for dinner when suddenly jokbal (charcoal-grilled pig trotters) sounded so good. Whenever that happens, the place we think of first is Kkankkanhan Jokbal, our go-to jokbal restaurant in Yongbong-dong. It's always good no matter when we eat it, so we headed straight there again without a second thought. We ordered the lovers' set, big enough for two to eat plenty, and it was satisfying as always. ## Where is Kkankkanhan Jokbal Yongbong Branch, and where do you park?

We picked this option because it comes with charcoal-grilled jokbal, makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) and cider — a good combination for two people to share. ![Portion of the menu listing jokbal and bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-09-ym1ky-m-966.webp) ![Menu board showing set menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-10-noq5m-966.webp) Kkankkanhan Jokbal has all kinds of menu items ready to go, including jokbal and bossam (boiled pork wraps). ![Charcoal-grilled jokbal set menu listing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-11-19kqv-966.webp) Since jokbal was the whole point of our visit that day, we chose the set with the charcoal-grilled jokbal. ## How the charcoal-grilled jokbal tastes The charcoal-grilled jokbal finally arrived, and it looked so glossy and shiny that my hand went straight for it. The first bite had both of us saying it was delicious — that's Kkankkanhan Jokbal for you. ![A plate of glossy charcoal-grilled jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-12-1wxe7-966.webp) The lean meat was soft and moist, while the skin kept a nice chewy texture. On top of that, the distinctive charcoal-grilled aroma kept pulling my chopsticks back for more. ![Chopsticks picking up a piece of charcoal-grilled jokbal meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-13-1b45p-966.webp) It's already a great Yongbong-dong jokbal restaurant eaten plain, but wrapping it in lettuce brings out a different charm. ![Jokbal wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-14-1wer3-966.webp) Add some dried radish strips on top and take a big bite — the crunchy and chewy textures really go well together. ![Jokbal wrap topped with dried radish strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-15-x0mlt-966.webp) ## The warm eomuk broth is the standout side dish Every side dish at Kkankkanhan Jokbal Yongbong Branch kept getting picked at, but the warm eomuk (fish cake) was especially a hidden gem. After eating jokbal, taking a sip of the hot broth cleared my palate, so I kept going back for more jokbal. ![Side dish spread including warm eomuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-16-f4cy8-966.webp) The makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) couldn't be skipped either. It was tangy and spicy, a perfect match with the jokbal. Mixing the noodles and vegetables well, then topping it with a piece of jokbal to eat together — this combination never fails. ![Tangy and spicy makguksu with a piece of jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-17-10prf-966.webp) For anyone looking for a Yongbong-dong bar, having jokbal along with the eomuk broth would be great for a drink too. From the jokbal to the makguksu to the side dishes, everything was delicious, so there's a reason people look for this as a Yongbong-dong restaurant. My husband and I left full after a long while, and I thought again — Kkankkanhan really is the jokbal place. ![Full table spread of the lovers' set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-18-1w0or-966.webp) You know those days when you can't decide what to have for dinner, or you just crave good jokbal? On days like that, if you're looking for a Yongbong-dong jokbal restaurant, the lovers' set at Kkankkanhan would be a great choice. ![Close-up of the charcoal-grilled jokbal from the lovers' set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-19-1xd39-966.webp) It's the kind of place that comes to mind whether you want a light drink at a Yongbong-dong bar or a hearty meal at a Yongbong-dong restaurant. Whenever we're craving jokbal, I think we'll end up back at Kkankkanhan again. ![Table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng-20-1nxwo-966.webp) Next time I'd like to order some other menu items too and take our time enjoying them with my husband. It was a happily full dinner! Since takeout discounts are available, I should get takeout next time too! ## Hours, address and other restaurant details - Address: 82 Yongbongtaekji-ro, Buk-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (Yongbong-dong 1389-1) - Hours: Daily 16:00 - 23:30 - Parking: No dedicated lot; use nearby side streets - Takeout discount available ## Where it is - Kkankkanhan Jokbal Yongbong Branch (깐깐한족발 용봉점) - 82 Yongbongtaekji-ro, Buk-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 북구 용봉택지로 82 깐깐한족발 용봉점 - 35.1782781, 126.8956061 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%90%EA%B9%90%ED%95%9C%EC%A1%B1%EB%B0%9C%20%EC%9A%A9%EB%B4%89%EC%A0%90/@35.1782781,126.8956061,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-rice-tray/yongbong-jokbal-couple-set-warm-odeng/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
