On a weekend lunch visit with her jokbal-loving son, the writer ordered the original Gwihan Jokbal large (51,000 won) and bibim makguksu (spicy buckwheat noodles), and the family of three finished it all — tender, chewy and free of any gamey smell. The large portion feeds 4 to 5 people with sides, so Gwihan Jokbal Nowon Branch is an easy pick for a family meal out. ## Good to know - **Original Gwihan Jokbal (large)**: 51,000 won - **Portion size**: Medium feeds a family of three; large with sides feeds 4 to 5 - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 to 2:00 AM - **Location**: 68m from Nowon Station Exit 1 - **Address**: 1st floor, 18-6 Nohae-ro 83-gil, Nowon-gu, Seoul - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use Lotte Department Store parking, a public lot, or public transit - **Other**: Korean-raised pork trotters, delivery available, groups welcome - **Price reference**: ₩51,000 ≈ $37 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* A jokbal (braised pig's trotters) restaurant we visited for my son who loves jokbal — Gwihan Jokbal in Nowon. We all fell for the tender, chewy trotters ^^ ## Where to park near Gwihan Jokbal in Nowon Parking is a bit tough anywhere in Nowon, so I usually use the Lotte Department Store parking lot or a public lot ~ When coming to Gwihan Jokbal, I'd recommend taking the bus or subway instead ![Main image from the Gwihan Jokbal Nowon visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-01-cb36q-1200.webp) Our family was hungry and wanted to eat our fill, so we ordered the large — but even the medium would have been plenty for a family of three ^^ It's domestic (Korean-raised) trotters, so it felt even more trustworthy ~~ My partner only eats jokbal in the evenings, haha. But jokbal tastes great any time of day ^^ Since my partner treats everything as an excuse for drinks, haha, they were craving beer and soju ㅎㅎ Please drink a little less, haha We definitely eat out more on weekends, and since my son is growing, we often pick meat dishes. He's not a fan of raw/grilled meat, so we end up eating a lot of jokbal and galbi (short ribs) type dishes. ![Vertical photo at Gwihan Jokbal Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-02-4thnf-900.webp) ![Vertical photo at Gwihan Jokbal Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-03-poeop-900.webp) ![Vertical photo at Gwihan Jokbal Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-04-m0voe-900.webp) ## How far is Gwihan Jokbal from Nowon Station?

So we ordered the large. It's a generous amount, enough for 4-5 people if paired with sides ^^ We ordered the original, basic Gwihan Jokbal and it was so good. My son devoured it too, and we all ate really well ^^ I heard the garlic jokbal and other varieties are popular too, so I want to come back and try those next time. So nice being able to eat as much as you want ~ jokbal large ^^ Tender, chewy ~ jokbal is the best ![Original jokbal large set served at Gwihan Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-11-1u0x3-899.webp) Our family loves jokbal so we go to jokbal restaurants often, but it's not easy to find one that's odor-free and chewy. It was nice to finally find a genuinely great jokbal restaurant. ![Odor-free, chewy jokbal plate at Gwihan Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-12-1t6ks-900.webp) ## Gwihan Jokbal menu and prices We ordered the Gwihan Jokbal large. ₩51,000. We usually love bossam too ^^ so I did debate getting bossam instead... but since it's a jokbal specialty restaurant, we went with jokbal this time ^^ I want to try the bossam next time. ![Jokbal menu board at Gwihan Jokbal Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-13-y6qg7-900.webp) The spicy charcoal-fired jokbal looked really good too. ![Menu board featuring spicy charcoal-fired jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-14-1ezsb-900.webp) The set menu, where you can try a bit of everything together, also looked delicious ^^ I'd recommend the set menu too. ![Set menu information board at Gwihan Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-15-gx2va-900.webp) There's a good variety of side menu options too ^^ great for coming here to drink. ![Side menu board at Gwihan Jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-16-uiv4c-900.webp) ## Bibim makguksu, the noodle side that goes with jokbal It'd feel like something's missing without the bibim makguksu (spicy buckwheat noodles), so I'd recommend definitely getting it alongside ~~~ ![Bibim makguksu eaten alongside the jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-17-x6uks-900.webp) ![Table spread with bibim makguksu and jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch/nowon-jokbal-family-weekend-lunch-18-12j8k-899.webp) My hand kept reaching for more of the tender jokbal.
