We ordered the spicy jjukkumi stir-fry set for ₩40,000! Honestly, at first I thought we'd just have a nakji (octopus) stir-fry meal with a glass of beer. But as you'll see below, we'd have kicked ourselves if we hadn't ordered the set!! ![First spread of the spicy jjukkumi stir-fry set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-14-13yf4-966.webp) The food comes out in order. First came the jjukkumi stir-fry with pumpkin porridge, acorn jelly and rice, and I thought, oh... this alone would be pretty good! ![Jjukkumi stir-fry with pumpkin porridge, acorn jelly and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-15-ki6yz-966.webp) On top of that, we added ₩1,000 through the Naver review event to get flat dumplings too. Jjukkumi is pricey to begin with, so I thought, oh... with this much, it must be famous as a Jonggak rice spot, ![The full jjukkumi stir-fry set table at Bonghyejane Jubang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-16-1ldqr-966.webp) ## How were the taste and portion of the jjukkumi stir-fry? First, the jjukkumi sauce is delicious! The main jjukkumi stir-fry is for two, but the portion was generous, which I liked haha. It's spicy but not just blindly hot; it's slightly sweet with a savory depth, the kind you keep reaching for! ![Spicy jjukkumi stir-fry for two, well coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-17-1yr8n-966.webp) ![Jjukkumi stir-fried with cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-18-12g3a-966.webp) I don't even like rice much, but with a whole pile of springy jjukkumi, I couldn't not eat it!! The jjukkumi had a lively chew, and the sauce soaked evenly into the cabbage and other ingredients too, so it was tasty even without rice! ### Why jjolmyeon goes so well with jjukkumi stir-fry And the jjolmyeon (chewy wheat noodles), which I secretly loved! Why does it go so well with jjukkumi stir-fry? It soaks up just the right amount of the jjukkumi sauce, so you keep alternating one bite of jjukkumi, one bite of noodles. Totally delicious... it felt like eating jjukkumi stir-fry and spicy mixed jjolmyeon at the same time! haha ![Jjolmyeon served with the jjukkumi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-19-6az4w-966.webp) ## Is it good as an after-work drinking snack in Jonggak? So the jjukkumi set is a truly excellent choice for drinking snacks. We came for drinks after work, so at first I thought of it as snacks rather than a meal, but as we ate it turned out to be both snack and meal, which made it even better! haha ![Jjukkumi set eaten as drinking snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-20-ov65v-966.webp) And as the dishes came out one by one... it was so generous I thought, "Wait, is all this ours?" Now I see why it's called a Hibap and Jung Jun-ha spot! haha ![Dishes of the jjukkumi set arriving one by one](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-21-1oxhc-966.webp) ## The set sides aren't just filler Usually a set menu means one main and a few sides in tiny amounts! But the jjukkumi set at Bonghyejane, a Jonggak rice spot, comes out one dish at a time like a proper course meal! ![Pork belly bossam served as a set side](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-22-d4tvr-966.webp) ### Side: pork belly bossam The pork belly bossam (boiled pork wraps) came with what looked like seasoned dried radish strips, and it was soft and nutty, like ordering a half portion of bossam separately. The drinks just kept going down, so it was a top drinking snack! ![Pork belly bossam with seasoned dried radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-23-jvg5h-966.webp) ### Side: fried flounder I was especially surprised that fried flounder came out too. After spicy jjukkumi, crispy, light fried fish felt like a palate reset, so I really enjoyed it~♥ ![Fried flounder served as a set side](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set-24-1asky-966.webp) ## Overall verdict on Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch The sauce was so sweet and savory that we kept drinking quite a bit afterwards, and with acorn jelly on the table, the lineup was solid enough that I'd even bring my parents. If you're looking for Korean food in Jonggak, a place with a full spread like Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch is worth a visit over a place that serves just one main! - Recommended as a Jonggak office-worker lunch - A good Korean restaurant for after-work drinks in Jonggak ## Where it is - Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch (봉혜자네주방 종로타워점) - B206, B207, B2, 51 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 종로 51 지하2층 B206, B207호 - 37.5707534, 126.9836385 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%89%ED%98%9C%EC%9E%90%EB%84%A4%EC%A3%BC%EB%B0%A9%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%ED%83%80%EC%9B%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.5707534,126.9836385,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@spines-skincare-table/jonggak-after-work-webfoot-octopus-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
