Today I'm introducing a spicy-sweet stress-reliever near Chunui Station in Bucheon, Gyeonggi: Yajju Yajju. It's already known around the neighborhood as a jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) hot spot, and since Chunui Station is the main branch, I went in with high expectations!
From the spice-adjustable jjuksam bokkeum (octopus and pork belly stir-fry) to the finishing touch of cheese fried rice, I enjoyed every bit of it.

Jjuksam bokkeum for two with added rice cake
Jjuksam bokkeum for two (₩16,000) plus rice cake (₩2,000). The plump, meaty octopus and fresh pork belly came piled high on the hot plate. Bean sprouts and various vegetables added great texture.
Steamed egg, ₩3,000. Can't have spicy food without it~ The portion was surprisingly generous, which I loved.
You only need to turn the flame on briefly, or you can just dig in right away.
A gentle smoky char had soaked into the octopus and pork belly, so every bite brought a rush of savory flavor and depth. The chives on top were perfect for adding a fresh bite.
The octopus wasn't chewy at all — it had that plump yet tender bite that stayed alive with every chew.
How to build the perfect lettuce wrap
Making different wrap combos was really fun too. Pickled radish with bean sprouts, or corn with flying fish roe and mayo — there were so many ways to enjoy this Bucheon jjukkumi spot.
How spicy is level 1 jjukkumi, really?
The pork belly's savory fat gently wrapped around the octopus, which could otherwise be a bit plain on its own, striking a really nice balance. The spice was level 1 so it wasn't very hot — next time I want to try level 2 or 3!
Snow cheese fried rice, torched at the table
You have to get the fried rice after jjukkumi, right? The staff said the seasoning seemed a bit light and added more for us. Thanks to that, the fried rice ended up perfectly seasoned 👏🏻
They stir-fry it all themselves, sprinkle on cheese, and torch it right there! It brings out even more of that smoky flavor in the cheese fried rice.
Snow cheese fried rice, ₩4,000. It's already in perfect eating condition, which made things really easy. They were generous with the cheese too, so it was genuinely delicious. Even full, I couldn't put my spoon down, haha. Even if you're stuffed, you have to eat the fried rice at this Bucheon jjukkumi spot!
