On a late weekday evening, two diners walked straight into a window seat with no wait and shared the Signature Set for Two (Jojo okonomiyaki, spicy yakisoba and donpeiyaki) for 39,000 won plus two 400ml glasses of Jojo draft beer. The best part at Jojo Yeonnam Branch is the okonomiyaki, which arrives flying a little flag printed with the nickname you wrote down at the door. ## Good to know - **Location**: 513m from Hongik University Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: Mon-Sun 11:30-22:00 - **Break time**: 16:00-17:00 - **Last order**: Mon-Fri 14:30 and 21:10 / Sat-Sun 15:10 and 21:20 - **Parking**: Yeonnam 3 public lot, Yeonnam 1 and 4 roadside public lots - **Amenities**: Groups welcome, reservations, takeout, high chairs - **Signature Set for Two**: Jojo okonomiyaki + spicy yakisoba + donpeiyaki, 39,000 won - **Jojo draft beer**: 400ml, 6,600 won - **Price reference**: ₩6,600 ≈ $4.9 · ₩39,000 ≈ $29 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Vertical photo from a visit to Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-01-1fch9-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of teppan dishes at Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-02-kb2iy-900.webp) ## Where is Jojo Yeonnam Branch, and what are the hours and parking?

I'd still recommend reserving ahead if you're going on a weekend. ![Waiting chairs outside Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-05-1s8f7-m-900.webp) Turns out the owner of Jojo Yeonnam Branch appeared as the teppan captain on Culinary Class Wars 2.

They laid each dish onto the teppan one by one right in front of us. ![Signature Set for Two laid out on the teppan at Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-14-1jvo8-1200.webp) Signature Set for Two: Jojo okonomiyaki + spicy yakisoba + donpeiyaki, ₩39,000 ![Donpeiyaki on the teppan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-15-clq3t-900.webp) ### Donpeiyaki (egg-wrapped pork) at Jojo Yeonnam Branch ![Cross-section of donpeiyaki with pork belly and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-16-n4fxv-900.webp) Donpeiyaki is a Japanese-style rolled omelet loaded with pork belly and cheese. ![Donpeiyaki plated on a dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-17-702qt-900.webp) ### Spicy yakisoba (stir-fried noodles) at Jojo Yeonnam Branch ![철판 위 카라이 야끼소바](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-18-i2phn-900.webp) The spicy yakisoba is made with Jojo's own special sauce, in a Japanese-style spicy flavor. It's not very spicy, so eating it alongside the fire sauce while working through the other dishes kept it from getting repetitive — it was a dish I happily slurped down. ![A bite of spicy yakisoba on chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-19-1i7vl-900.webp) ### Jojo okonomiyaki and the nickname flag Jojo okonomiyaki is Jojo's own signature version, loaded with pork, beef, shrimp, and squid. ![Jojo okonomiyaki with the nickname flag stuck in it](https://img.superchart.com/images/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set-20-1y1vc-900.webp) It came out with the little flag bearing the nickname I'd written down earlier, which made it feel like my own personal okonomiyaki — somehow that made it taste even better 🥹🥹 I recommend Jojo Yeonnam Branch, a Hongdae monjayaki spot. ## Where it is - Jojo Yeonnam Branch (죠죠 연남점) - 1F, 255-1 Donggyo-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로 255-1 1층 - 37.5627221, 126.9245743 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A3%A0%EC%A3%A0%20%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.5627221,126.9245743,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-two-chopsticks/jojo-yeonnam-monjayaki-signature-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
