Songdo Triple Street okonomiyaki date: cod roe gyoza at Jojo

Where's the hottest spot in Songdo right now? Triple Street, hands down. On holidays or weekends it's packed wall to wall — I've gone there just to people-watch more than once. Triple Street mall clearly curates its lineup carefully, with the hottest restaurants and pop-up brands drawing crowds. Right in the middle of it all is Jojo, a popular okonomiyaki spot, so let me introduce it.

Where is Jojo? Building C, first floor at Triple Street

Jojo is on the 1st floor of Building C at Triple Street, across from Yeokjeon Grandma Beer. It's always on my shortlist whenever I'm at Triple Street wondering what to eat, and counting the other branch I've been about four times total.

What the inside of Jojo looks like

Jojo Triple Street Branch has a clean, modern feel. Personally I didn't find it especially Japanese-coded. The open kitchen means you can watch everything being cooked, which made me trust the place even more.

What we ordered at Jojo, plus hours and parking

I went with the signature set for two, adding cod roe gyoza and a cola.

• 176-1 Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon (Triple Street Building C, 1st floor)
• Hours: 11:30–23:00 / Break time 15:00–17:00 / Last order 22:10
• Parking: free

Everything comes out on a hot iron griddle, so it stays warm the whole time we're eating. Whenever I see a hot plate I get a sudden craving for teppan ice cream... is that just me? These are the basic side dishes. Honestly, I barely touch them.

The three sauces on the table

There are three sauces available: Jojo's special sauce, spicy sauce, and mayonnaise. Handy for drizzling on top whenever a dish needs a little more flavor. Last time I ate this at the Lotte Department Store branch, they ran out of sauce and it was disappointing — here it's always stocked, which I appreciate. I'm the type who pours on a lot, haha.

[Cola ₩3,000] They're also running a review event where you can get a free drink, so anyone interested should join in!!

Jojo okonomiyaki, 17,000 won

This is Jojo's signature menu item, cut into quarters for easy eating. It's loaded with cabbage and plenty of seafood you can taste throughout — everything works together perfectly. There's no way this could taste bad.

Cod roe gyoza, 8,000 won — the dish we ordered twice

The cod roe gyoza is genuinely insane. I always order it whenever I come here — the gyoza stays crispy even as time passes, and dipping it into the cod roe sauce is next level... we ended up ordering it twice.

Donpeiyaki, 10,000 won

The first time I had this I wondered, what is donpeiyaki anyway? Turns out it's basically a rolled omelette, haha. It's filled with cheese and meat — a good pick if you want a little something extra.

Jojo yakisoba, 14,000 won

Last dish. The signature set normally comes with kirai yakisoba, but I swapped it for the Jojo version. Kirai is a bit spicy, while Jojo is a basic soy-sauce base. It's made with cabbage, pork belly, shrimp, and noodles.

Jojo's pros and cons

• Pros - The signature okonomiyaki and cod roe gyoza are genuinely delicious
• Pros - Parking at Triple Street is easy and spacious
• Pros - The open kitchen keeps things clean and hygienic
• Pros - Restaurants like this are rare, so I find myself coming back often
• Cons - The yakisoba flavor was a bit underwhelming

That's my review of Jojo at Triple Street. I received a partial discount to write this post, but rather than tell any lies, I wanted to write an honest review, so that's what I did. It's been a favorite of mine for a while and I'd happily go again. Definitely recommend it as a fun date-night spot!
