Two diners came for dinner and shared the spicy stir-fried octopus set (16.0) and the 1988 hamburg steak set (13.5), which came with mushroom perilla soup, pumpkin porridge, mukbap (acorn jelly in broth) and fries. Spicy whole octopus on one side and a thick hamburg steak on the other made Bonghyejane a safe choice for two people with different tastes. ## Good to know - **Location**: 51 Jongno, B206 & B207, basement 2, Jongno-gu, Seoul (basement 2 of Jongno Tower) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:00 (break 15:30–16:30) / Sat–Sun 11:00–20:00 (break 15:00–16:30), last order 1 hour before closing - **Parking**: Underground parking free for 90 minutes, then 3,600 won per extra 30 minutes - **What we ordered**: Spicy stir-fried octopus set 16.0 / 1988 hamburg steak 13.5 - **Review event**: One free bottle of alcohol or a drink for writing a receipt review - **Price reference**: ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 · ₩13,500 ≈ $9.8 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Jonggak lunch — and dinner — spot: Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch ![Main image of Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-01-1kin9-966.webp) On a day I had a dinner plan near the office, I was craving Korean food and ended up at the newly opened Bonghyejane Jubang in Jongno Tower. The menu is made up of neat set meals, and it's especially known for its spicy octopus stir-fry. Here's a hearty Korean restaurant near Jonggak Station worth knowing about. ## Where Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch is, and what it feels like inside Bonghyejane Jubang is right in front of Jonggak Station Exit 3-1, on B2 of Jongno Tower. If you're coming by subway, you can walk straight there underground without ever going outside! ![Entrance of Bonghyejane Jubang on B2 of Jongno Tower](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-02-ueo42-966.webp) ![Underground passage connecting from Jonggak Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-03-c54u0-966.webp) ![Restaurant exterior next to Jongno Bookstore](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-04-ractw-966.webp) ![Cozy restaurant interior that feels like a home](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-05-25wxz-966.webp) ![Dining hall with plenty of tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-06-rt5pa-966.webp) It's right next to Jongno Bookstore, so it's super easy to get to. Inside, I was struck by how warm and cozy it felt — like walking into someone's home. There are lots of tables that can also be pushed together, so it looks great for group gatherings or work dinners too. I also spotted quite a few solo diners, so it's a comfortable place for anyone to eat. ## Menu and set options at Bonghyejane, plus the receipt review event ![Menu board of set meals and sides at Bonghyejane Jubang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-07-1o12h-966.webp) True to the "one of Seoul's top 3 restaurants" tagline, the menu was really packed! Besides the signature whole octopus stir-fry, there's a wide range of set meals good for a full meal. On the side, there are also fun specialty items like gamtae gimbap (seaweed rice roll), zucchini pancake, and bibim jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles) with flat dumplings — great for a drink after work too. ![Menu board for the signature set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-08-2pnff-966.webp) The signature menu can also be ordered as a set with a variety of sides. ![Sign for the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-09-v1zc9-966.webp) ✨ Review event — write a receipt review and get a free bottle of alcohol or a drink. ## What comes with the spicy stir-fried octopus set (16.0) 🗒️ What we ordered — nakji-bokkeum (spicy stir-fried octopus) set ₩16,000 / 1988 hamburg steak set ₩13,500 ![Nakji-bokkeum set laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-10-1egtn-1200.webp) The nakji-bokkeum set 🦑 I picked looks properly loaded, doesn't it? The mushroom perilla soup also comes in a mini size. The pumpkin porridge was perfect to finish off as dessert. ![Close-up of the spicy whole octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-11-fitvu-966.webp) One bite of the plump octopus and I could taste the spicy sauce laced with a subtle char flavor — really good. Eating it with the cabbage added a nice crunchy texture too. Great as a drinking snack, haha. ![A bite of octopus stir-fry with cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-12-o7mb4-966.webp) ![Mini-size mushroom perilla soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-13-1b9c4-966.webp) The mushroom perilla soup warms you right up!! Savory and smooth — it'd be perfect if you're feeling under the weather 👍🏻 ![A spoonful of the perilla soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-14-6owcb-966.webp) Picking things up piece by piece is nice, but you've got to scoop that flavorful sauce onto the rice and mix it all together 🤍 ![Mixing octopus sauce into rice topped with seaweed flakes and chicory](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-15-pksw9-966.webp) They piled the rice generously with seaweed flakes and chicory. Honestly it'd be a crime not to turn this into a bibimbap. Why is red food always so delicious? I cleaned the whole bowl 😋 ## The 1988 hamburg steak set (13.5): how thick is the patty? ![1988 hamburg steak set laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-16-1jt6u-966.webp) My friend with a picky, kid-like palate ordered the 1988 hamburg steak. One piece of hamburg steak, rice, and a fried egg — a full, hearty meal in itself 🤩 It also comes with fries and salad, so it doesn't get boring. ![Thick hamburg steak with fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-17-2m8dc-966.webp) ![Hamburg steak set served with salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-18-1m0ll-966.webp) The hamburg steak was seriously the size of a fist, haha. It's so thick that I first wondered if one piece would even be enough, but by the end my friend said they were completely stuffed. ![Cross-section of the hamburg steak cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-19-b48c2-966.webp) Cutting it in half, the juices came pouring out. Thick, moist hamburg steak paired with sweet demi-glace sauce — a combination pretty much everyone would like. It's especially the kind of flavor kids love, so it'd also be great for a family meal out! ![Rice topped with a fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-20-z4wdm-966.webp) The rice came topped with a fried egg, tasting just like the nostalgic classic. ![Fluffy fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-21-rad0d-966.webp) The fluffy fries were also really good. ![Mukbap served as a palate cleanser](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja/jonggak-hamburg-steak-nakji-dinner-bonghyeja-22-1wzl4-966.webp) Mukbap (acorn jelly with noodles) also came out, perfect as a palate cleanser. Each set comes with different sides, so it's fun to order different menus and share.
