How are the location and parking?

My husband and I heard there was a great webfoot octopus place on our weekend outing, so we went! I’d been curious about Boksakkot Pineun Jip because it has long been known for good food, and I finally got to visit 💗

There are spacious parking areas both above and below, so it’s an easy place to drive to 🚘 I recommend coming by car rather than public transit!

Even though we visited early, there were so many customers 🤓 We got the timing wrong and arrived before opening, but people were already waiting in the waiting area!❗️

Family gathering seating and the self-service bar

There are floor-seating tables and lots of seats, and with plenty of staff too, everything felt well organized 🤓 If you’re coming with a baby, these floor seats could be nice as well ❤️

I made a reservation beforehand, so I was shown to the second floor 🥺 The wide-open windows gave it such a lovely, open feel 🙆🏻♀️ I could see why it is so popular for family gatherings and group reservations 💗

The side dishes were set out in advance, and I loved the lush green view outside. I think it would feel atmospheric and lovely even on a rainy day.

There are high chairs too, so it seems like a good place to bring a baby 🤣 As I ate, I noticed lots of family gatherings here ✨

At the self-service bar, you can enjoy side dishes as well as miyeokguk (seaweed soup) and yakgwanmun tea 💗 The dishes that came out were already generous, so I didn’t use it separately, but it would be so nice when you come as a group, right? 🙆🏻♀️

They also sell ice bars and ssalgangjeong (crispy rice snacks) at the entrance, perfect for dessert ❤️

Jjuchipa and gorgonzola wood-fired pizza

I had already decided what I wanted before arriving, so I ordered without hesitation, but there are so many options—spicy stir-fried pork, braised jumbo beef ribs, braised jumbo beef ribs with seafood, pork cutlet, children’s spaghetti, stir-fried webfoot octopus, stir-fried octopus, and more—making it perfect for a group 💗

Here’s what I ordered. Jjuchipa + handmade wood-fired pizza (gorgonzola) Salad, muksabal, and after-meal coffee

How was the food?

Ta-da! ✨ These are the side dishes that came out before we really got started!❗️ There was such a variety—salad, muksabal (cold acorn jelly soup), yeolmu kimchi, and seasoned mung bean sprouts—that I could have finished a bowl of rice with just these 😜

Mornings and evenings have been chilly lately, but it is still hot at lunchtime 🤔 It was a sunny, hot day too, and the cool muksabal felt so refreshing going down 💗

What more is there to say about salad? It was such a nice palate cleanser before the meal 🤣 The dressing was generously applied too.

My husband finished shaping the little round rice balls too 🙆🏻♀️ They went so well with the webfoot octopus sauce that we polished them off in no time, even though we were full 💖

The gorgonzola pizza comes with honey, and it was delicious even on its own rather than with the webfoot octopus. There was quite a lot of cheese in it too 😘

Ta-da, the main Jjuchipa arrived 🤣 It is a combination of webfoot octopus + cheese + pasta, and it looked so appetizing 💗 It came fully cooked, so they said we could eat it straight away 😉

The webfoot octopus was plump through and through.

Pasta in webfoot octopus sauce made me wonder whether somyeon (thin wheat noodles) might suit it better, but once I tried it, the pasta did not get soggy and went so well together 🤓 As it simmers, the noodles soak up more sauce, so I recommend saving them for last 💖

We finished with takeout coffee. We enjoyed everything right through dessert 🙆🏻♀️ Thanks for the great meal!
