The signature hwasan jjukkumi comes with beef belly, and the writer topped it with cheese sarie (extra cheese) before finishing with complimentary steamed egg and cheese fried rice; takeout orders reportedly get nearly double the portion.

This is a review of Jjukkumi Sinhwa, a Korean restaurant known for jjukkumi (small octopus) in Ajung-ri, Jeonju. They only sell same-day fresh jjukkumi, always made with fresh ingredients. I really want to recommend this to anyone who loves jjukkumi — let me introduce it in detail. ![Storefront with takeout order sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-03-v5saq-900.webp) ## Do takeout orders get double the portion? Eating in the restaurant is great, but apparently a lot of people order takeout too. For takeout orders, they pack the portion nearly double the usual amount, so it's perfect for a jjukkumi party at home. It's also great for camping or travel. ![Clean, tidy interior dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-04-11mtv-900.webp) ## Restaurant atmosphere and table setup Walking in, the interior is clean overall, which makes a great first impression. There's plenty of space between tables so it never feels cramped, and the dining hall is neatly arranged. The staff greeted us kindly and showed us to our seats, so we could sit down comfortably. ![Table set and ready for dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-05-1kxgv-900.webp) Every table is neatly set, which I liked. They also provide disposable aprons. ![Seat with disposable apron placed](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-06-ig8v1-900.webp) ## What comes in the signature hwasan jjukkumi? The signature dish is definitely hwasan jjukkumi (volcano octopus). True to its name, it brings a fiery, spicy kick like a volcano — and unlike a regular jjukkumi stir-fry, this dish comes with both jjukkumi and beef belly together. ![Table set with hwasan jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-07-1lnqn-900.webp) ![Jjukkumi and beef belly on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-08-17o2m-900.webp) ![Hwasan jjukkumi starting to simmer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-09-kz60e-900.webp) ![Close-up of spicy jjukkumi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-10-1fgpz-900.webp) ![Beef belly cooking on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-11-1r3wq-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes served with hwasan jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-12-mtzx3-900.webp) ![Full table spread of the jjukkumi meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-13-1183x-900.webp) ![Side dishes and sauces plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-14-10ti2-900.webp) ### Side dishes, garlic sauce, and the self-serve bar There was a nice variety of side dishes and sauces to go with the meal. The garlic sauce was really delicious. ![Self-serve side dish bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-15-121ys-900.webp) If you need more side dishes, you can help yourself at the self-serve bar. ![Finished hwasan jjukkumi visual](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-16-1s7vc-900.webp) Here's the hwasan jjukkumi. The visuals were great too. ![Chopsticks holding jjukkumi and beef belly together](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-17-czw8w-900.webp) ### So how spicy is it, exactly? The savory beef belly and chewy jjukkumi come together beautifully, so every bite has richer texture and more layered flavor. The seasoning is moderately spicy rather than extremely hot, so anyone who can handle a bit of spice should enjoy it. It was just the right level of spicy to mix with rice. ![Spicy jjukkumi mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-18-1dev1-900.webp) ## How adding cheese sarie changes everything We also added cheese sarie (extra cheese). ![Cheese sarie added on top of hwasan jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-19-1sylh-900.webp) I'd strongly recommend adding cheese sarie. When you pile cheese on top of the hwasan jjukkumi and let it simmer once more, the spicy sauce and savory cheese come together, making the flavor much softer and richer. The cheese stretches beautifully with the jjukkumi and beef belly, so even if you find the spice a bit much, this makes it way easier to enjoy. ![Cheese stretching from the jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-20-ynrbv-900.webp) ### Complimentary steamed egg They also gave us complimentary steamed egg custard, which really pulled its weight. The soft, warm egg custard soothed the palate between bites of spicy jjukkumi. It was generous service, which made the meal even more enjoyable. ![Complimentary steamed egg custard](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-21-1u9jz-900.webp) There's also a guide on how to enjoy the jjukkumi best. Trying different combinations made it even tastier. ![Guide on how to enjoy jjukkumi best](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-22-kc197-900.webp) If you participate in the receipt review event, you can get a free cheese sarie. ![Receipt review event signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-23-1ngi6-900.webp) ## Finishing with cheese fried rice Of course, you can't finish a meal like this without fried rice. ![Cheese fried rice being stir-fried on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout-24-1dj7k-900.webp) Cheese fried rice is a must-try. Once you finish the hwasan jjukkumi, they stir-fry rice, seaweed flakes, and cheese in the leftover sauce — and you end up scraping up the slightly crispy nurungji (scorched rice) stuck to the bottom of the pan. The sweet-and-spicy sauce combined with cheese makes for a truly addictive flavor. If you're craving spicy jjukkumi in Ajung-ri, Jeonju — especially if you love the combo of jjukkumi and beef belly — Jjukkumi Sinhwa is worth a visit. It's just as good to eat in the restaurant, but the takeout portions are generous enough to enjoy properly at home too, so keep it in mind whenever you need a spicy meal. ## Where it is - Jeonju Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung-ri Main Branch (전주 쭈꾸미신화 아중리본점) - 16 Donggajaemi 2-gil, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-do, South Korea - 전북특별자치도 전주시 덕진구 동가재미2길 16 1층 전주쭈꾸미신화 아중리본점 - 35.8332345, 127.1621236 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%84%EC%A3%BC%20%EC%AD%88%EA%BE%B8%EB%AF%B8%EC%8B%A0%ED%99%94%20%EC%95%84%EC%A4%91%EB%A6%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8332345,127.1621236,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@namdo-rice-steam/jeonju-ajungri-hwasan-jjukkumi-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
