Magok octopus restaurant with tabletop grilling: Jju Baksa Magok
Jju Baksa Magok Branch is a tabletop-grill webfoot octopus restaurant near Seoul Botanic Park in Magok, Seoul, a 2-minute walk from Exit 8 of Yangcheon Hyanggyo Station. At an outdoor table the writer ordered the drink set (35,000 won for two) with jjusamgyeop (webfoot octopus with pork belly), and a staff member stir-fried it right on the tabletop grill, so nothing burned and everything cooked evenly. With green views and cool air, Jju Baksa Magok Branch makes an easy spicy-octopus lunch or dinner in Magok.
