A couple ordered the octopus scallop sotbap (16,000 won) and the seafood sotbap (15,000 won), finding soy-seasoned julienned potato hidden under the rice and a pot piled with oysters and whole shrimp. Generous seafood and free parking in the building make Morang Haemul Sotbap a solid pick for family meals or work dinners near Jungja Station. ## Good to know - **Address**: 213-214, 197 Jeongja-il-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do (275m from Jungja Station Exit 5) - **Hours**: Mon-Fri 11:00-21:30, Sat 11:30-21:30, Sun 11:30-15:00 / Break 15:00-17:00 - **Parking**: Free in the building parking lot - **Octopus scallop sotbap**: 16,000 won - **Seafood sotbap**: 15,000 won - **How to order**: Table kiosk - **Included with each meal**: 4 banchan (braised enoki mushrooms, kimchi, seasoned radish salad, stir-fried fish cake), bean sprout soup, seaweed - **Price reference**: ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* As the weather turns cooler, I keep craving a warm bowl of rice — and ideally, straight out of a hot pot. So off I went! Here's my visit to Morang Haemul Sotbap Jungja Station branch, a pot rice place right in front of Jungja Station. ![Entrance view of Morang Haemul Sotbap Jungja Station branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-01-bstcz-966.webp) ## Where is Morang Haemul Sotbap Jungja Station branch, and what are the hours? Morang Haemul Sotbap Jungja Station branch is 275m from Exit 5 of Jungja Station, on the 2nd floor of Jeongja-dong 2-cha Pujeong City. The address is 213-214, 197 Jeongja-illo, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. - Hours: Mon-Fri 11:00 - 21:30 / Sat 11:30 - 21:30 / Sun 11:30 - 15:00 - Break time: 15:00 - 17:00 - Parking: Free in the building parking lot ## Inside the dining room and how to order at the table kiosk Head up to the 2nd floor and a much bigger hall than expected opens up. The ceilings are high too, and soft lighting lines the stairwell walls — total café mood. The seating is spaced generously, so it'd be perfect for family gatherings or work dinners! Ordering is done via a table kiosk. ![Table kiosk screen listing sotbap menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-02-pgok4-966.webp) Just looking at the sotbap category, there's eel sotbap, abalone sotbap, beef eggplant sotbap, even oyster gukbap — so many kinds! On the left category there's also fried side dishes, drinking snacks, and makgeolli (rice wine) listed separately, so this place could work for a nighttime drink too. After some deliberation, here's my order! > Octopus scallop sotbap (16.0) / Seafood sotbap (15.0) ![Self-serve water bottle and cups](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-03-w871u-966.webp) Water is self-serve. ![Soy-based braised enoki mushroom banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-04-1gqll-966.webp) ### What banchan and soup come with the sotbap? The braised enoki mushroom (?) had a soy base with a slight tang — pretty unusual! Four banchan come out total: kimchi, radish salad, and fish cake stir-fry. ![Four banchan including kimchi, radish salad, and fish cake stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-05-15fww-966.webp) Bean sprout soup comes alongside too, clear and refreshing style. (Not gonna mention the photo's a bit blurry...) ## Octopus scallop sotbap, 16,000 won: the soy-seasoned potato under the rice ![Octopus scallop sotbap table setting surrounded by banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-06-1rzfa-966.webp) The octopus scallop sotbap arrived first! The pot sits on a wooden stand surrounded by banchan, so the whole presentation looks super neat. ![Octopus scallop sotbap pot on a wooden stand](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-07-s3n2q-966.webp) They give you seaweed too! ![Grilled seaweed served alongside the sotbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-08-14gqf-1200.webp) Up close: thick slices of octopus leg fanned out on top, and next to them, five plump chunks of scallop! A light dusting of sesame and parsley on top made the colors pretty too. Pick up a scallop and you get a faint whiff of butter on the outside — bite in and the center splits softly apart. ![A plump scallop with a hint of buttery aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-09-1ewjk-966.webp) One piece of octopus too. It's got real thickness, so the chew is satisfying. Chewy but not tough at all!! ![A thick slice of octopus leg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-10-1ttr2-966.webp) The scallops are super plump! ![Plump scallops on top of the sotbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-11-45ack-966.webp) But the real treasure was hiding underneath!!! Julienned potato cooked in with the rice, soaked in soy seasoning — you could eat just this and it'd steal the whole bowl. ![Soy-seasoned julienned potato hidden under the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-12-1nf5x-966.webp) Scoop up rice and potato together for one big spoonful. ![Spoonful of rice and potato scooped together](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-13-zo72w-966.webp) Add a piece of octopus for another spoonful. Buttery-scented rice topped with chewy octopus — it's kind of like... Korean food but not quite, oddly upscale? ![A spoonful of sotbap topped with octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-14-1klca-966.webp) Wrapped in seaweed it's a whole different flavor. The salty seaweed reins in the buttery scent, so my hand kept reaching back for more. And now for the menu that lives up to this restaurant's name — the seafood sotbap! ## Seafood sotbap, 15,000 won: oysters and whole shrimp covering the rice ![Seafood sotbap piled with whole shrimp, oysters, and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-15-12lq3-966.webp) My eyes went wide. A whole shrimp, baby octopus, oysters, squid, scallop, fish cake — seafood piled so high you can't even see the rice! ![Seafood sotbap topped with large oysters](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-16-7wm43-966.webp) The oysters are pretty large, and popping one in your mouth brings a burst of ocean flavor. Zero fishiness at all. ![Baby octopus found inside the seafood sotbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-17-1m7jz-966.webp) There are baby octopus (?) friends in there too, and something new turns up every time you dig around. Kind of like a treasure hunt (?) — quite fun. ![A spoonful of seafood sotbap topped with oyster](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-18-k350o-966.webp) One oyster on a spoonful of rice! The broth from the seafood soaks into the rice, so it's perfectly seasoned even without adding soy sauce!! > A sotbap where you see seafood before you see rice — I'm a big fan of this kind of thing ![Tender seafood inside the seafood sotbap, easy to bite through](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop/jeongja-motang-seafood-sotbap-octopus-scallop-19-bl7ve-966.webp) This mystery ingredient wasn't tough at all either, cut cleanly with each bite! ## Which Morang Haemul Sotbap dish should you order near Jungja Station? Five minutes on foot from Exit 5 of Jungja Station! Free parking in the building made driving there easy too. If you're after a sotbap place with generous seafood, go for the seafood sotbap!!! If you want the chew of octopus and scallop, go for the octopus scallop sotbap!! Recommended either way. Both are under ₩16,000, which isn't bad value considering how much eating out costs these days! Next time I'll have to come back for the abalone sotbap and a bowl of makgeolli.
