I tried its 14,000 won Jojo yakisoba and generous seafood teppanyaki, served warm on the table grill.

It is a place where you can enjoy a range of Japanese teppanyaki (iron-griddle cooking) dishes centered on okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake) and yakisoba (Japanese stir-fried noodles). It is within walking distance of Hongik University Station, so it was also a nice spot for a Yeonnam date or a meal while out in Hongdae. ![Introduction to Japanese teppanyaki at Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-01-1ka5s-900.webp) ![Teppanyaki dishes at Jojo Yeonnam Branch in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-02-1h2am-900.webp) ### Jojo Yeonnam Branch at a glance - Address: 255-1 Donggyo-ro, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 동교로 255-1 1층) - Hours: Daily 11:30–22:00 - Break time: 15:20–17:00 - Last order: 21:10 / lunch last order: 14:30 - No dedicated parking → nearby public parking is recommended - About a 7–8 minute walk from Hongik University Station Exit 3 ![Basic information for Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-03-1pfzb-900.webp) As you walk through the alleys of Yeonnam-dong, Jojo Yeonnam Branch catches your eye with its neat exterior. Its casual atmosphere, which brings to mind a restaurant in Japan, was especially memorable. ![Exterior of Jojo Yeonnam Branch in a Yeonnam-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-04-1stkz-900.webp) ![Casual exterior of Jojo Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-05-1z8my-900.webp) Inside, the space was more spacious and comfortable than I expected, and best of all, every table had its own griddle! Since the okonomiyaki and yakisoba are served on it, I could enjoy every last bite while it was warm. ![Interior of Jojo Yeonnam Branch with table griddles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-06-1gh7o-900.webp) The open kitchen also made it fun to watch the food being prepared, and the sizzling sounds from the griddle really got my appetite going. ![Open-kitchen teppanyaki dining space](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-07-1dzmn-900.webp) ## Jojo Yeonnam Branch menu and banchan The signature dishes include Jojo Okonomiyaki for ₩17,000, Mentaiko Monjayaki (a runnier savory Japanese griddle pancake with cod roe) for ₩19,500, and Jojo Yakisoba for ₩14,000.

The noodles did not go soft either, so the texture was great. ![Springy yakisoba noodles with a smoky aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-12-15c2c-900.webp) With pork and vegetables mixed in, it felt much more substantial than noodles alone. The smoky meat also went wonderfully with the yakisoba. ![Yakisoba with pork and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-13-eprs3-900.webp) ## Seafood teppanyaki with large scallops The seafood teppanyaki, stir-fried with shrimp, large scallops, squid, cabbage, pork, and bean sprouts, was delicious too. The scallops in particular were impressively large; one bite delivered a satisfyingly chewy texture along with salty, nutty flavor! ![Seafood teppanyaki with scallops and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-14-8bt5k-900.webp) Eating it with the pork, crisp cabbage, and bean sprouts gave it lots of different flavor combinations, and the portion was generous too. ![Seafood teppanyaki with cabbage and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-15-5j1ju-900.webp) Thanks to the tasty griddle dishes and casual atmosphere, I think it would suit anyone looking for a good restaurant in Yeonnam, too. If you are craving Japanese food in Yeonnam-dong or Hongdae and want a meal that feels a little different, this is a nice place to visit! ![Japanese teppanyaki enjoyed in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba-16-1epqt-900.webp) With everything from okonomiyaki and yakisoba to monjayaki in Yeonnam-dong, I would recommend it for a Hongdae or Yeonnam date course as well. If you are looking for a slightly special Japanese teppanyaki meal instead of the usual rice bowls or ramen in Yeonnam-dong, enjoy a delicious meal at Jojo Yeonnam Branch :) ## Where it is - Jojo Yeonnam Branch (죠죠 연남점) - 255-1 Donggyo-ro, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 동교로 255-1 1층) - 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/@seoul-in-motion/yeonnam-jojo-seafood-yakisoba/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
