I shared the 48,000 won small jokbal-bossam set with a former banking colleague, and the tender pork, unexpectedly great bossam, and refreshing bean sprout soup were all satisfying. Verdict: a great pick for a lively dinner gathering. ## Good to know - **Location**: About a 3-minute walk from Yeongdeungpo Station Exits 4 or 5 - **Small jokbal-bossam set**: ₩48,000 - **Makguksu**: ₩8,000 - **Bossam set meal**: From ₩10,000 - **Seating**: Tables can be joined for groups of 8, 12, or 16 *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Dinner at Gwihan Jokbal near Yeongdeungpo Times Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-01-c99cf-1200.webp) *Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo for dinner near Times Square* Not long ago, I met up for dinner with a former colleague I had been close to during my banking days—it had been ages!

The tables can be joined, so groups can sit together in arrangements for 8, 12, or 16 people. It is also a good place for a work dinner or gathering :) ## Jokbal and bossam menu and prices Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo has a wide variety of jokbal dishes. There are jokbal-bossam sets, value sets, half-and-half jokbal, Bo Bul Bo Ru, and more. ![Jokbal menu at Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-05-pgx72-900.webp) ![Bossam set menu at Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-06-eupji-900.webp) I ordered the jokbal-bossam set, and the small size was ₩48,000. I like spicy food too, so I also wanted to try the spicy bul jokbal, cold mustard jokbal, and Uiseong garlic jokbal. ![Spicy jokbal and cold mustard jokbal menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-07-1oj9k-900.webp) ![Menu selection at Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-08-zqmwv-900.webp) There are lots of side dishes too, including makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles), whelks, steamed egg, dried filefish, and soft tofu stew. Lunch options include jokbal set meals, bossam set meals, and spicy jokbal rice bowls; makguksu is ₩8,000 and bossam set meals are ₩10,000, so they are great value too. :) ## My jokbal-bossam set and side dishes After the jokbal arrived, wrap vegetables and side dishes came out like this. There was ssamjang dipping paste, soy-marinated onion, spicy sauce, and more. ![Wrap vegetables and side dishes for the jokbal-bossam set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-09-qmzy9-900.webp) *4. Review of the jokbal-bossam set* There were plenty of things to eat when the jokbal started to feel rich, including lettuce, perilla leaves, and kimchi. And the bean sprout soup was the real kick. Topped with finely chopped scallions, it was refreshing and delicious :) ![Bean sprout soup topped with scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-10-f1oca-900.webp) ![Jokbal-bossam set table spread with bean sprout soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-11-12ulx-900.webp) The jokbal and bossam came out. The jokbal had such a lovely glossy sheen and looked wonderfully tender. The bossam looked amazing too. ![Glossy jokbal and bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-12-13dov-900.webp) ![Jokbal and bossam in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-13-1ogbf-900.webp) With food this good, how could we not order soju? We got one bottle :) ![Jokbal, bossam, and the ordered soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-14-1u5ui-900.webp) ![Jokbal-bossam set with a bottle of soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-15-mn53i-900.webp) The jokbal was so, so tender—really delicious :) ![Tender jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-16-1f0o2-900.webp) ![A plate of the jokbal set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-17-wdclu-900.webp) The bossam was just as delicious. I do not usually like bossam as much as jokbal, but I really liked it here! ![Delicious bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-18-ho40h-900.webp) ![Bossam from the jokbal-bossam set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-19-yva9e-900.webp) It can start to feel a little rich after a while, but eating it with chives, kimchi, or shredded radish cuts that richness right away, so you can keep going without getting tired of it. ![Chives, kimchi, and shredded radish side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-20-2frtn-900.webp) ![Side dishes to eat with jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-21-1onla-900.webp) Wrapped in lettuce and perilla leaves, it was seriously insanely good! ![Jokbal wrap with lettuce and perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-22-76w5i-900.webp) All the vegetables, including the garlic, were fresh. Having a drink with such good food was seriously, seriously satisfying! ![Fresh garlic and vegetable accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-23-hxpws-900.webp) ![Final table spread after the jokbal and bossam meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan-24-153ao-900.webp) I was too full to try them this time, but next time I definitely want to have the makguksu or a spicy jokbal set! Thanks to choosing such a good jokbal spot on a Thursday evening, I had a lovely time at Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo with a former colleague I had not seen in ages. ## Where it is - Gwihan Jokbal Yeongdeungpo (귀한족발 영등포점) - 19 Yeongdeungpo-ro 42-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 영등포로42길 19 1층 - 37.5178153, 126.9068001 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%80%ED%95%9C%EC%A1%B1%EB%B0%9C%20%EC%98%81%EB%93%B1%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.5178153,126.9068001,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-kitchen-turns/yeongdeungpo-jokbal-dinner-gwihan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
