The order was the emperor's jokbal at 58,000 won, which came with sides including gimbap (seaweed rice rolls), japchae (glass noodles) and mukmuchim (seasoned acorn jelly), plus free kimchi kalguksu and an added old-school dosirak lunchbox. The jokbal at Miss Jokbal was chewy and tender with no gamey smell, and the dried radish with the house's special red sauce was the standout combination. ## Good to know - **Location**: 21 Myeongdong 3-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul — 5-7 minute walk from Exit 5, Euljiro 1-ga Station - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-03:00 (last order 02:00) - **What was ordered**: Emperor's jokbal, 58,000 won - **Good to know**: Groups, takeout, delivery and reservations all available - **Service**: Free kimchi kalguksu even with a jokbal-only order - **Also**: Lunch special menu available - **Price reference**: ₩58,000 ≈ $43 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ## Where is Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch, and what are the hours? ![Exterior of Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch on the Myeongdong food street](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-jokbal-retro-lunchbox-missjokbal/myeongdong-jokbal-retro-lunchbox-missjokbal-01-16rwa-1200.webp) For reference on location!
