# Myeongdong jokbal restaurant you can book on Naver: Miss Jokbal - By Yerin Baek (https://superchart.com/en/@jongno-quiet-counter/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Jung-gu, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a complimentary visit from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@jongno-quiet-counter/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@jongno-quiet-counter/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/index.md) ## In short Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch is a jokbal (braised pork trotter) and bossam restaurant at 21 Myeongdong 3-gil, near Euljiro 1-ga Station in Jung-gu, Seoul. A Naver reservation meant being seated with no wait, and the signature Emperor Jokbal arrived with a free bowl of kimchi kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) plus japchae, dubu kimchi and cheongpomuk muchim ringing the edge of the plate; a kalguksu refill costs 4,000 won. The pork was tender enough to melt in the mouth, making Miss Jokbal a solid pick for both a full meal and a soju night. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Signature Emperor Jokbal, soju - **Free with the meal**: Kimchi kalguksu comes free with the Emperor Jokbal - **Kalguksu refill**: 4,000 won extra - **Reservation**: Booked on Naver, seated with no wait - **Parking**: No dedicated parking; public transit recommended - **Location**: 21 Myeongdong 3-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul (near Euljiro 1-ga Station) - **Price reference**: ₩4,000 ≈ $3 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Today I'm sharing a review of some proper jokbal (pork trotter) I had near Euljiro 1-ga Station! ✨🤤 The place I'm introducing today is Miss Jokbal, well known as a top jokbal spot in Myeongdong! ![Emperor Jokbal table spread at Miss Jokbal Myeongdong](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-01-1dn49-900.webp) ![Jokbal plate at Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-02-te7hv-900.webp) ![Emperor Jokbal with side dishes at Miss Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-03-qq8wn-900.webp) ## Miss Jokbal Myeongdong: the talked-about spot near Euljiro 1-ga Station ![Exterior of Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch near Euljiro 1-ga Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-04-13t3v-900.webp) ![Entrance of Miss Jokbal on Myeongdong 3-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-05-1j2sk-900.webp) Miss Jokbal Myeongdong, located near Euljiro 1-ga Station, is already a word-of-mouth favorite! 🏢 Even outside peak hours, it looked really crowded! There's no dedicated parking since it's in Myeongdong, so I'd recommend taking public transit ~ ![Interior view of Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-06-134k0-900.webp) ![Miss Jokbal dining hall full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-07-14u36-900.webp) Stepping inside, there were tons of customers, from foreign visitors to locals...!

We visited after booking through Naver ~! Maybe because of that, we were seated right away with no wait. This place usually has a line, so I'd recommend booking through Naver before you go! Looking at the menu, there were so many options, from jokbal to bossam, garlic bossam, even yukhoe (raw beef)! 🤔 Among them, we ordered Emperor Jokbal, the signature menu at Miss Jokbal Myeongdong that felt like the most special way to enjoy the place!!👍 ![Free kimchi kalguksu served as a side](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-11-1p27g-638.webp) ![Spicy kimchi kalguksu broth and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-12-yaxu2-900.webp) ## The free kimchi kalguksu: spicy broth, chewy noodles After ordering, we were waiting for the food ~! Turns out ordering the Emperor Jokbal comes with a free bowl of kimchi kalguksu (noodle soup) ~? 🍜 The broth was spicy and punchy, so good for sipping in between bites, and the noodles were nice and chewy, so I kept going back for more even before the main Emperor Jokbal arrived..! 😭 You can order a refill once you finish, but note there's a ₩4,000 extra charge for that!! ![Emperor Jokbal set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-13-qkugj-900.webp) ![Generously plated Emperor Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-14-17kdi-900.webp) ![Full spread of Miss Jokbal's signature Emperor Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-15-7t8er-1200.webp) ## Emperor Jokbal: a spread fit for a royal table Finally, the main dish, Emperor Jokbal, was set on the table ~!

Around the edge of the big plate came a mountain of delicious-looking sides that go perfectly with jokbal, from japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) to various kimchis, salad, dubu kimchi (tofu with stir-fried kimchi), mujeungi (aged kimchi), and cheongpomuk muchim (seasoned mung bean jelly)!! This is exactly when you'd say the table legs are about to break under all that food, right?!🤩 All the side dishes that came with it were seasoned perfectly and paired so well with the jokbal ~! I especially loved that japchae haha ![A tender piece of jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-23-owty4-900.webp) ## How tender is the jokbal at Miss Jokbal? Now for the main event, actually eating the Emperor Jokbal ~! It was one of the most tender, silky jokbal I've had, right up there among the best~ 🍖 It really melted the moment it hit my mouth.. and I instantly understood why this place is known as a top jokbal spot in Myeongdong!✨ ![Soju ordered alongside the Emperor Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor/myeongdong-miss-jokbal-naver-reservation-emperor-24-uq8ho-900.webp) ## Why Miss Jokbal's jokbal calls for soju With such an amazing dish to pair it with, there was no way we weren't ordering soju.. so we did right away.. ^^ 🍶 Not drinking with jokbal this good.. is basically a crime.. hehe haha Thanks to the delicious Emperor Jokbal, the soju went down way too easily that day.. and I ended up pleasantly tipsy...!🥳 If you're ever in Myeongdong craving tender, melt-in-your-mouth jokbal, definitely stop by Miss Jokbal!
