## In short

Ttoksuni Agujjim Jamsil Direct Branch is a Jeolla-style braised monkfish (agujjim) restaurant in Bangi-dong, Songpa, Seoul. On the last weekend before her scheduled induction, the blogger and her husband ordered the medium size at the basic spice level, about as hot as Shin Ramyeon, and the bean sprouts and monkfish were so generous that they skipped the fried rice and mixed plain rice into the leftover sauce instead. With valet parking for 2,000 won and a roomy dining hall, Ttoksuni Agujjim also works for family meals and group dinners.

Today I suddenly had a huge craving for something spicy, so I went out for agujjim (braised monkfish). Our little one Maru doesn't seem to want to leave mom's belly yet, so we ended up booking an induction for Sunday. So with the mindset of really enjoying our last weekend, we went to eat the spicy agujjim I'd been craving!

The interior was spacious and comfortable, making it look like a good spot for family meals or group gatherings. We visited on a weekend evening and there were indeed many customers there for agujjim, including some families.

## 50 years of Jeolla-style home cooking

![Signage about Jeolla-style home cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-05-w5v1k-900.webp)

Ttoksuni Agujjim Jamsil Direct Branch says it's built on 50 years of Jeolla-style home cooking. It was interesting that you can now enjoy this Jeolla-style agujjim, long loved in the Gangseo area of Seoul, here in Songpa too.

![Menu board at Ttoksuni Agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-07-1hg82-900.webp)

Their signature agujjim pairs plump monkfish with a secret Jeolla-style sauce! It's not just sweet — it has a deep, savory richness, so it's easy to keep eating without getting sick of it. You can also choose your spice level, so even people who don't handle spicy food well can find something that works. So I think it would suit anyone looking for agujjim in Bangi-dong too. They also serve lunch items like baby octopus set meals and cod clear soup, making it a solid option for lunch in Bangi-dong!

## Tablet ordering and choosing your spice level

![Table tablet ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-08-1hidp-900.webp)

Ordering was easy through the tablet at each table. We ordered their signature Ttoksuni Agujjim in the medium size. You could also choose the spice level, and since I'm pretty weak with spice, we went with mild — about as hot as Shin Ramyeon. Being able to choose the spice level like this means people not confident with spicy food can feel a bit more at ease here.

![Table set after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-10-185cx-900.webp)

### Pollack seaweed soup and five side dishes

After ordering, the basic setup came out first. It included seaweed soup and 5 side dishes, and the seaweed soup with dried pollack was especially clean-tasting and delicious. Once Maru is born I'll be eating seaweed soup constantly, so this almost felt like a preview — oddly comforting.

### The self-serve side dish bar and nuruk soy sauce

Beyond the basic sides, you could grab more from the self-serve bar. There were a few extra options there, so we picked what we wanted. The fried pepper chips (gochu-bugak) were especially crispy, great for nibbling while waiting for the agujjim. There was also green onion kimchi, which paired nicely with the agujjim!

There was also a separate fermented soy dipping sauce for the agujjim. It had a rich, savory flavor, and dipping the monkfish into it added a whole other layer of taste. With touches like these prepared, I think anyone looking for agujjim in Jamsil would leave satisfied.

## The medium Ttoksuni Agujjim arrives

![Medium-size Ttoksuni Agujjim topped with plenty of bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-14-1kyhl-900.webp)

![A generous plate of agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-15-bs1hw-900.webp)

Finally, the agujjim we ordered arrived. The first thing I thought when I saw it was that the portion was really huge!! It was piled high with bean sprouts, so it looked incredibly generous right off the bat. We'd ordered the medium size, meant for about two people, but the amount was more than expected — I wondered if we'd even have room for fried rice.

![Bowl of rice ordered alongside the agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-16-1me95-900.webp)

Still, looking at the agujjim, I felt like we absolutely needed plain white rice with it, so we ordered a bowl. They gave us a generous serving, plenty to go with the agujjim. The portion at Ttoksuni Agujjim Jamsil Direct Branch was hearty enough to fill up the two of us.

![Boiled monkfish on top of the agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-17-1arkz-900.webp)

![Boiled monkfish dipped in fermented soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-18-zcgda-900.webp)

### Poached monkfish and the chewiest cuts

On top of the agujjim there was also boiled monkfish. It had a plump, chewy texture, and dipping it in the fermented soy sauce made it even more delicious.

![A chewy-textured part of the monkfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-19-1edwg-900.webp)

My husband pointed out a particularly tasty part, and when I tried it, it really was wonderfully chewy — I personally loved it. Monkfish meat itself is tasty, but there's also fun in picking out these chewier bits. If you're hoping for a generous agujjim while searching for agujjim in Bangi-dong, this is part of the fun.

![Crunchy bean sprouts and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-20-12ymf-900.webp)

### Bean sprouts, minari and sea squirt

Bean sprouts are really essential in agujjim, and here they were nice and crunchy. Agujjim really does taste best with plenty of bean sprouts. There was also minari (water dropwort) mixed in, adding a fragrant note. Eating the monkfish, bean sprouts, and minari together gave a nice variety of textures that kept me reaching for more!

![Sea squirt in the agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-21-19u79-900.webp)

There was also sea squirt mixed in, fun to pick out here and there. It was great being able to enjoy so many different textures and flavors within a single dish of agujjim. This is a dish I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for agujjim near Olympic Park!

![Plump monkfish meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-22-143x3-900.webp)

![Monkfish meat and bean sprouts coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-23-ani0f-900.webp)

Above all, the monkfish meat was really plump. Doesn't it look nice and substantial even in photos! Eating it, the meat was soft yet had a springy bite, so it was delicious. The part my husband recommended was especially chewy — a texture that kept coming back to mind. Even people who assumed there wouldn't be much meat on monkfish would probably be satisfied with how generous this was. Thanks to such solid monkfish meat, I think it's worth visiting as a go-to spot for agujjim near Olympic Park!

### Mixing rice into the leftover sauce instead of fried rice

Agujjim really does taste best piled high with bean sprouts and monkfish over plain white rice. The Jeolla-style sauce was spicy with a slight sweetness and deep savoriness, so it went really well with rice. We'd planned to add fried rice, but the agujjim portion was so large that fried rice felt out of reach! So we just mixed rice into the leftover sauce, and that was really delicious too. The sauce itself was so tasty that my spoon kept going back for more. This would suit anyone looking for agujjim in Jamsil who also wants a filling meal with rice!

![Plum tea served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish/ddoksuni-agujjim-jamsil-spicy-steamed-monkfish-24-ah45z-m-900.webp)

## How hot is the basic spice level, and the plum tea

Even though I ordered the mild option, it still felt a bit spicy to me since I'm not great with spice! Still, that signature spicy kick of agujjim really woke up my appetite, so I ended up enjoying it all the way to the end. After the meal, plum tea is served as dessert. Drinking the sweet plum tea cleaned up my palate nicely. It would be perfect for anyone craving something sweet after eating spicy food! For anyone looking for agujjim in Bangi-dong who's worried about spice, it's worth remembering that you can choose your spice level here.

## Is Ttoksuni Agujjim good for family meals or group dinners?

Ttoksuni Agujjim Jamsil Direct Branch has a spacious, comfortable dining room, so it looks like a good option for family gatherings or group dinners too! Besides agujjim, they also have cod clear hot pot made daily with fresh broth for a clean, light flavor — a nice pairing alongside the spicy dishes. Agujjim works well as a meal, but it's also a great drinking snack, so it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a group gathering spot!! If you're specifically searching for agujjim near Olympic Park, the spacious dining room and available parking are both worth factoring in.

I came this time because I was craving something spicy, and the agujjim portion turned out to be bigger than expected with really substantial monkfish meat, so it was a satisfying meal! It's an especially memorable meal since I got to properly eat what I was craving before our last weekend. Ttoksuni Agujjim Jamsil Direct Branch would suit anyone who loves generous portions and Jeolla-style sauce. If you're looking for agujjim in Jamsil, it's worth visiting for a spicy, hearty spread.
