Spicy octopus restaurant near Isu Station in Seoul: Isu Jjukkumi

Isu Jjukkumi Main Branch is a jjukkumi (spicy stir-fried baby octopus) restaurant tucked into an alley a 7-minute walk from Exit 14 of Chongshin University (Isu) Station in Dongjak, Seoul. Over lunch with a coworker, the writer ordered jjukkumi, chicken feet and steamed egg with half a bottle of soju, then finished with fried rice. If you like spicy food and a midday drink, Isu Jjukkumi Main Branch is a safe bet, though there is no parking.
