We added glass noodles to the spicy webfoot octopus and pork belly, then finished with flying-fish-roe fried rice. Jjigaen Jjukkumi is a filling pick for a day when spicy food is calling. ## Good to know - **Address**: 60 Wonhyo-ro 41-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F) - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:30); Sun 12:00–21:00 (last order 20:30) - **What we ordered**: 2 servings of jjukkumi-samgyeopsal + extra glass noodles - **Signature dishes**: Jjukkumi-samgyeopsal, cheese jjukkumi, jjukkumi woosamgyeop, jjukkumi - **Also available**: Lunch specials *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Where to find Jjigaen Jjukkumi inside Yongmun Market It is 510 m from Exit 3 of Hyochang Park Station. Since it is tucked inside Yongmun Market, it was nice to look around the market while finding our way there! ### A neighborhood-restaurant exterior inside the market ![Exterior of Jjigaen Jjukkumi inside Yongmun Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-01-2niy5-900.webp) Because it is a restaurant set inside the market, it felt less like a flashy, huge venue and more like an easygoing neighborhood favorite, haha. We could check the menu right outside, which made it nice to think about what to order before going in! 🤍 ### A relaxed interior on a weekend evening ![Interior atmosphere at Jjigaen Jjukkumi Yongmun Market branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-02-1ix1q-900.webp) Once inside, the overall atmosphere was really relaxed! We visited on a weekend evening, and local customers were already having jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) with drinks, hahaha. Places like this somehow make even the atmosphere feel delicious, you know? 👍🏻 ![Jjigaen Jjukkumi interior on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-03-1ykzh-900.webp) It would be nice for a date, but personally, I think it is just the spot to come with a group of friends and have jjukkumi with a drink, haha. ## Ordering jjukkumi-samgyeopsal and glass noodles ### Jjukkumi dishes and lunch specials ![Jjigaen Jjukkumi menu board and jjukkumi dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-04-1qipi-900.webp) Looking over the menu, there were several dishes built around jjukkumi. Their signature dishes include jjukkumi-samgyeopsal (webfoot octopus and pork belly), cheese jjukkumi, jjukkumi woosamgyeop, and jjukkumi, plus various add-ons. We ordered 📍2 servings of jjukkumi-samgyeopsal with extra glass noodles! ![Jjigaen Jjukkumi lunch special menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-05-9yksx-900.webp) They also sell lunch specials, so I think it would be perfect for lunch if you live nearby! Isn't the price such good value? 🥹 ### Side dishes that pair beautifully with jjukkumi ![Basic side dishes for jjukkumi-samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-06-1jtqu-900.webp) ![Perilla leaves and flying-fish-roe mayo table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-07-1wopr-900.webp) The basic sides were bean sprouts, fish cake, perilla leaves, and mayonnaise with flying fish roe. It was a lineup of the best pairings for jjukkumi, haha. ## The springy bite of jjukkumi-samgyeopsal ![Jjukkumi-samgyeopsal in red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-08-1nnqn-900.webp) With jjukkumi and pork belly coated in that red sauce all piled together, doesn't it make your mouth water just looking at it? Haha. ![Seasoned jjukkumi and pork belly dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-09-1ltcq-1200.webp) The spicy-seasoned jjukkumi and pork belly were so evenly mixed together that I really wanted to dig in quickly! 🥹🥹 ![Jjukkumi-samgyeopsal cooking on a griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-10-qkq60-900.webp) ![Griddle of jjukkumi-samgyeopsal while cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-11-1h2am-900.webp) It is cooking up deliciously. It looks sooo appetizing!!!! ![A bite of cooked jjukkumi-samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-12-il064-900.webp) Finally, I took a bite, and the jjukkumi had such a wonderfully springy texture 🐙 It is important to keep that bouncy bite rather than overcooking it until it gets tough, and with the sauce, it went down so easily 🤩 The savory, fatty flavor of the pork belly meeting the spicy jjukkumi sauce made everything feel even more full-flavored, haha. ![Jjukkumi-samgyeopsal eaten as a perilla-leaf wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-13-1rd53-900.webp) Put jjukkumi and pork belly on a perilla leaf, dip it in the flying-fish-roe mayo, then add bean sprouts and pickled radish, and that one bite is absolutely, absolutely amazing,, ✨ The sauce leans spicy, so I think it would suit people who love spicy food. But it was not just aggressively hot—it had a savory depth that kept me reaching for more. ![Spicy jjukkumi sauce and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-14-46kzr-900.webp) The glass-noodle add-on came out cooked, so it took a little while! There was way more than I expected, and I almost burst trying to finish it all, hahaha. The noodles were cooked just right and soaked up the sauce so well—so, so tasty, haha. ![Jjukkumi wrap with added glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-15-e7g57-900.webp) Adding glass noodles to the wrap made that bite even better! The spicy, savory, and crisp textures all came through at once, and it was so good, haha 👍🏻 ## Finishing with flying-fish-roe fried rice ![Flying-fish-roe fried rice made with jjukkumi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-16-jqqp8-900.webp) Fried rice is Korean dessert, right? 💖 We left a small amount of jjukkumi and sauce, then ordered flying-fish-roe fried rice. The sauce from the jjukkumi and pork belly had soaked right into the rice, making it savory, spicy, and full of umami—I was full, but I just kept eating, hahaha. ![Flying-fish-roe fried rice crisped onto the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market-17-ewy2d-900.webp) Especially the fried rice stuck to the griddle: it was crispy yet chewy, so we scraped up every last bit, haha. ## A meal for when spicy food is calling The spicy jjukkumi and savory pork belly were such a good combination, and with fried rice too, it made for the most satisfying meal, haha. Near Yongmun Market or Hyochang Park Station, this is a restaurant I would definitely recommend for a day when you are craving something spicy! 🤍🩵 - An easygoing, welcoming neighborhood restaurant - A great jjukkumi-samgyeopsal combination - A good place to visit with friends ## Where it is - Jjigaen Jjukkumi Yongmun Market Branch (찌갠쭈꾸미 용산용문시장점) (찌갠쭈꾸미 용산용문시장점) - 60 Wonhyo-ro 41-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F) - 서울특별시 용산구 원효로41길 60 1층 - 37.5354625, 126.9606388 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B0%8C%EA%B0%A0%EC%AD%88%EA%BE%B8%EB%AF%B8%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%82%B0%EC%9A%A9%EB%AC%B8%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.5354625,126.9606388,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-counter-lamp/yongsan-jjukkumi-samgyeopsal-market/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
