On a weekday around 7pm, the writer walked in without a reservation, waited behind 2 groups, and ordered the Signature Set for Two (₩39,000): okonomiyaki (savory cabbage pancake), yakisoba and tonpeiyaki (pork-and-egg omelette). The whole staff greeting guests together and the generously filled okonomiyaki stood out. For a date-night bar in Mullae, Jojo Mullae Branch delivers on both taste and friendliness. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 4-2 Dorim-ro 139-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 11:30–22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Reservations**: Via Naver; ₩5,000 deposit (₩5,000 off the bill) - **What we ordered**: Signature Set for Two, ₩39,000 (Jojo okonomiyaki, karai yakisoba, tonpeiyaki) - **Popular dishes**: Signature Set, monjayaki set - **Sauces**: Three kinds: teriyaki, spicy sauce, mayonnaise - **Price reference**: ₩39,000 ≈ $29 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 (2026-10-12) *as written by the visitor on Jul 14, 2026* It's been a while, so I went to Mullae to see my partner😊 They made time after work, and I wanted to treat them to something delicious.

We got to Jojo Mullae Branch around 7pm on a weekday with no reservation, and there were already 2 groups waiting. I'd recommend booking ahead on Naver. We didn't reserve, and there were 2 groups ahead of us,, (when we left there was no wait at all, we were practically the last ones😂😂) - ₩5,000 reservation deposit (₩5,000 off when you pay!) ![Jojo Mullae Branch seen while waiting on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-03-16ctu-900.webp) Jojo is a famous pub near Mullae Station, and the Signature Set and the monjayaki (pan-fried batter) set are the best sellers. While waiting I was reading the menu and wanted to eat absolutely everything!!! ![Menu at Jojo Mullae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-04-1cjge-900.webp) ## Atmosphere and the whole-staff welcome at Jojo Mullae Branch As you'd expect from a Mullae date-night pub, most guests were couples, with quite a few coworker groups too. The best part: one staff member calls out a greeting and all the other staff join in together. We finally got in, haha! Watching them greet every guest coming and going, I thought, this is what real kindness looks like (❁´◡`❁) ![Interior of Jojo Mullae Branch with couples and office workers](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-05-1wp7c-900.webp) The kitchen is open, so you can watch the cooking, and the chefs' hands move super fast, like true pros😎 ![Open kitchen at Jojo Mullae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-06-rd2xv-900.webp) Jojo specializes in teppan (iron griddle) cooking, and every table has its own griddle. It had been a while since I'd eaten at one, so I was excited:) ![Seating with a griddle at every table at Jojo Mullae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-07-rvv17-900.webp) There are also 3 sauces, teriyaki, spicy and mayonnaise, so you can try different flavors-! ![Three sauces: teriyaki, spicy and mayonnaise](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-08-m6wux-1200.webp) ## What's in Jojo's ₩39,000 Signature Set for Two? We ordered the Signature Set for Two at ₩39,000. It includes Jojo okonomiyaki (savory cabbage pancake), karai yakisoba (spicy fried noodles) and tonpeiyaki (pork omelet). ![Jojo Signature Set for Two as ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-09-1oxux-900.webp) ### Okonomiyaki grilled twice, 8 minutes each The first thing out from the Signature Set is the okonomiyaki. The fillings, cabbage, meat, seafood and more, were generous. They stir it hard and pour it onto the griddle all at once, and I was already excited before eating, obviously🤩 ![Okonomiyaki batter poured onto the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-10-1pn92-900.webp) Okonomiyaki takes quite a while. You have to patiently wait 8 minutes, then 8 minutes again, twice in total😢 They even set a timer for you, which made it feel like a truly legit Mullae restaurant. ![Okonomiyaki grilling with a timer set](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-11-1fmrk-900.webp) ### Yakisoba with an egg yolk to mix in Right after the okonomiyaki went on, the yakisoba came out too. Both are placed on the griddle, so you can eat them warm to the very end, which made me 100% satisfied. ![Jojo yakisoba on the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-12-w1zeq-900.webp) ![Yakisoba topped with an egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-13-6m3ph-900.webp) We ordered the yakisoba in the original flavor. I popped the egg yolk, mixed it in well, and had a bite with shrimp, then a bite with meat and egg, and wow, this place is great for yakisoba, haha! The seasoning is just right and the noodles are springy. Truly the best😍 ![Yakisoba with the yolk mixed in, eaten with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-14-1px74-900.webp) ### What does tonpeiyaki taste like? Jojo's tonpeiyaki tasted like a rolled omelet (gyeran-mari) with meat inside! We were debating what on earth tonpeiyaki is, and the moment we tried it we knew. ![Tonpeiyaki at Jojo Mullae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-15-l7uxd-900.webp) The egg wraps the meat just like a rolled omelet. It was my first time trying it and it was surprisingly good:) The kind of flavor that strangely keeps pulling your hand back😮 ![Cross-section of tonpeiyaki with meat wrapped in egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-16-z94vr-900.webp) ## The finished okonomiyaki and the nickname flag While we ate the other dishes, the okonomiyaki finished! If you wait patiently, a staff member comes over, tops it with mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce, and then sticks in a little flag, haha. The flag is from the paper they hand you when you order, where you write a nickname, and they stick it in for you LOL ![Finished okonomiyaki with sauces and a nickname flag](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-17-cj1b8-900.webp) ![Finished Jojo okonomiyaki on the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-18-14y8k-900.webp) We cut it into too many pieces so it doesn't look great, but I'll admit this really is a Mullae gem and a Mullae pub. You can't taste the batter at all, the fillings are super generous, and it's moist and really delicious. (You guys should cut it into just 4 big pieces...💦💦) ![Cut-up okonomiyaki and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date-19-cmxnd-900.webp) ## Is Jojo Mullae Branch a good date-night izakaya in Mullae? Jojo Mullae Branch is a Mullae izakaya (Japanese pub) where I fell for both the staff's kindness and the food. It was so good that I felt glad I'd come to Mullae. We also shared a piece of shrimp, one each, nicely:) If you're looking for a pub with good atmosphere or a good restaurant in Mullae, I recommend the Mullae izakaya Jojo:) ## Where it is - Jojo Mullae Branch (죠죠 문래점) - 1st floor, 4-2 Dorim-ro 139-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 도림로139길 4-2 1층 죠죠 - 37.5145624, 126.8932657 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A3%A0%EC%A3%A0%20%EB%AC%B8%EB%9E%98%EC%A0%90/@37.5145624,126.8932657,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@while-coffee-cools-dabf/mullae-jojo-okonomiyaki-teppanyaki-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
