*as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026*

It's officially autumn. Before the harsh cold sets in, the sunshine is warm and the breeze is cool — is there ever a better season for a walk? After a long while, my spouse and I visited Seoul Botanic Park in Magok, Gangseo-gu, which has become a beloved healing spot in the middle of the city. Divided into four zones — Open Forest, Lake Garden, Wetland Garden, and Theme Garden — this vast space gave us true rest. Especially in the large greenhouse of the Theme Garden, we got to see exotic tropical and Mediterranean plants and forget the fatigue of daily life for a while.

After walking around the huge botanic park for so long, hunger caught up with us just as fast as our happiness did.

## Why J's Pot Magok Branch for an early 5 p.m. dinner after Seoul Botanic Park

J's Pot Magok Branch is a casual hot pot restaurant inside Magok COEX (COEX Magok). It was 5 p.m. — a bit early for dinner, but our bodies, tired from all the walking, were craving something warm and spicy, especially hot pot (shabu-shabu).

Without hesitation, we headed to J's Pot Magok Branch, located nearby in Magok COEX. It's known as a place where anyone can enjoy hot pot in a casual, unpretentious atmosphere, and the fact that it's directly connected to Magongnaru Station on subway Line 9 — making the trip home after dinner super convenient — was a big draw.

## How to reach J's Pot Magok Branch from Magongnaru Station

The walk from Seoul Botanic Park to J's Pot felt pleasant. Inside Magok COEX Mall, the atmosphere was clean and modern. Following the tidy corridor, you'll find J's Pot's entrance right next to 'Coffee Company.' The accessibility is really excellent, making it a perfect spot to find after a mall outing or a visit to the botanic park.

On the way to the restaurant, there's also a photo zone decorated with a stylish 'LEWEST' light-up sign and a large artificial flower arrangement — great for capturing some autumn memories in photos.

## Inside J's Pot Magok Branch: the room and the self-serve sauce bar

True to its slogan 'CASUAL HOT POT,' the interior was stylish without feeling heavy. Uniquely shaped pendant lights, orange sofa beds, and neatly arranged cane chairs created a cozy yet modern atmosphere. Best of all, each table had an induction stove neatly built in, which seemed to make for a pleasant meal.

Even though it was only 5 p.m., many people were already dining, which showed just how popular this place is. We saw a mix of families, couples, and friends around us.

As soon as we were seated, the first thing that caught our eye was the self-serve sauce bar right in the center of the restaurant. It's not an exaggeration to say the real charm of hot pot lies in this sauce bar. Built around peanut sauce (jima-jang), dozens of fresh ingredients — soy sauce, chili, chili oil, garlic, scallion, and more — were neatly laid out. It's genuinely fun to mix your own sauce, spicy or sweet, to your taste. The broth and sesame oil were even kept in clean bottles, which gave a nice impression of hygiene.

## Beef set and beef loin set at 24,000 won each, 59,000 won with draft beer

Before long, our ordered dishes filled the table. The first thing we noticed was how fresh the vegetables looked. Bok choy, napa cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms (shiitake, enoki), and fried tofu — a wide variety of vegetables, neatly trimmed and generously served.

## How the red and white mandarin-duck broth and peanut sauce tasted

Next, the broth in the mandarin-duck pot — divided into red and white sides — started bubbling. The spicy mala aroma of the red broth hit our noses and instantly sharpened our appetite.

![Table set with vivid beef loin, beef, and shrimp meatballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/jspot-magok-beef-set-draft-beer/jspot-magok-beef-set-draft-beer-19-1oqyy-900.webp)

Once all the ingredients were set, our full dinner table was ready. The vivid red beef loin and beef, along with fresh vegetables, were ready to go into both the red and white broths. For noodles, we chose kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and glass noodles, and for meatballs, we went with shrimp meatballs, which raised our expectations even more.

This is our own customized peanut-based sauce. We added plenty of chili oil and scallion to the savory peanut sauce for extra spice, and it went perfectly with the hot pot meats.

We lightly cooked the beef loin in the bubbling red broth and took a bite. The spicy, numbing flavor of the mala broth spread through our mouths, blending with the tender, savory taste of the beef loin — we couldn't help but let out an 'mmm!' The white broth had a deep, rich flavor that was perfect for tasting the natural flavor of the fresh vegetables. The shrimp meatballs had a nice bouncy texture that made eating even more fun.

Sipping a cold draft beer between bites of hot hot pot felt like nothing short of heaven. All the fatigue from walking melted away in an instant.
