Everything looked delicious. - King-size jokbal (front leg, large) ₩42,000 - Jaengban guksu (noodle platter) ₩8,000 - Rice balls ₩3,000 It finally arrived!! ![Full table setting with king-size front-leg jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-05-y9w26-893.webp) It looked so appetizing just to look at, and the portion seemed really generous! ![Generous plate of king-size jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-06-6bhmk-900.webp) +) Unlike other places, here they give you gamjatang (pork bone potato stew) for free when you order jokbal. ![Free gamjatang served with the jokbal order](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-07-69e0n-900.webp) A variety of wrap vegetables plus pickled radish and pickled onion were also prepared for wrapping the jokbal. ![Wrap vegetables with pickled radish and pickled onion side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-08-dnbtk-900.webp) ## How does the jokbal taste? ![Close-up of front-leg jokbal meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-09-1465q-900.webp) ![A piece of jokbal held with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-10-x503x-900.webp) ![Thick-sliced domestic chilled pork jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-11-3ie8b-900.webp) ### King-size jokbal, large front leg: 42,000 won At Hwanggeum Jokbal Jangseong Branch, the jokbal is divided into front leg and back leg. The back leg is more lean meat, and they said the front leg is a bit more tender, so that's what I ordered! They use 100% domestic chilled pork, and maybe that's why — there was zero gamey smell, and the texture was incredibly soft and chewy. So good. ![Jokbal placed on wrap vegetables with ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-12-1s17v-900.webp) ![Jokbal wrapped in a lettuce leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-13-118om-900.webp) It's tasty even plain, but wrapped with ssamjang and vegetables it's basically a rice thief hahaha. Ugh, one bowl of rice gone in no time. ![Table with remaining jokbal and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-14-4yj7r-900.webp) ### The free gamjatang that comes with every jokbal order This was my first time seeing gamjatang served with jokbal. Isn't that basically cheating? The moment I tasted it, it was so spicy and refreshing that even without drinking, it felt like the perfect hangover cure and perfect drinking snack! I thought a free side dish might be lower quality, but not at all — it was better than a lot of gamjatang sold as a standalone dish. ![Bowl of spicy free gamjatang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-15-1dasj-900.webp) ### Rice balls: 3,000 won Simple, classic flying fish roe rice balls, but so nutty and delicious. Eaten with jokbal, it's a perfect match. How could it not be tasty!! ![Plate of flying fish roe rice balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-16-zhxyl-900.webp) ![Jaengban guksu made with naengmyeon-style noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-17-1o2js-900.webp) ### Jaengban guksu cold noodle platter: 8,000 won Unlike typical jaengban guksu, the noodles here are naengmyeon-style, so they're chewier and tangier — really tasty. They also loaded it with lettuce and cabbage, and mixing it all together to wrap with jokbal is a heavenly combo 👍 Jokbal + jaengban guksu + rice balls is a guaranteed winning combo. ## Is Hwanggeum Jokbal Jangseong Branch worth a stop in Pohang? - If you're looking for a Pohang restaurant, a Pohang jokbal restaurant, a Pohang bossam restaurant, jokbal in Jangseong-dong, cold jokbal in Pohang, or a local Pohang favorite, I highly recommend this place!! - Unlike other jokbal restaurants, this one uses domestic raw jokbal made from chilled meat, giving it an incredibly chewy, tender texture and — most importantly — no gamey smell at all, which made it so delicious. - Ordering jokbal gets you free gamjatang too, making it perfect as a drinking snack, and on top of the variety of wrap vegetables, the jaengban guksu + rice ball combo I added on was also delicious. I heard takeout gets you a ₩2,000 discount! ![Representative photo of the full jokbal table spread at Hwanggeum Jokbal Jangseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang-18-1ws0l-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Hwanggeum Jokbal Jangseong Branch (황금족발 장성점) - 27 Beopwon-ro25beon-gil, 1-dong, 1st floor, unit 1, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 북구 법원로25번길 27 1동 1층 1호 - 36.0771375, 129.3828141 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EA%B8%88%EC%A1%B1%EB%B0%9C%20%EC%9E%A5%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%90/@36.0771375,129.3828141,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongbuk-noon-plate/pohang-jangseong-wangjokbal-gamjatang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
