I ordered the large chadol-ssam agujjim at spicy level 2 and got two whole squids as a service, plus dongtae jiri egg soup, four kinds of dipping sauce, and fried rice for two. The monkfish pieces were huge and the portion generous — a place I'd come back to whenever I crave agujjim in Mokpo. ## Good to know - **Address**: 8-1 Okam-ro, 1F, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea - **Hours**: Thu–Sat, Mon–Tue 16:30–22:00 / Sun 11:00–22:00 - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **Menu**: Chadol-ssam agujjim, Sin Mokpo agujjim (bone-in or boneless) - **Discount**: Lunch special or takeout: ₩5,000 off small / ₩7,000 off medium / ₩10,000 off large - **Service**: One whole squid with any agujjim order; fried rice with receipt review event - **Parking**: Available on the main road right in front or the back alley - **Other**: Reservations, takeout, delivery, and group seating available; room-style seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Table spread of chadol-ssam agujjim at Sin Mokpo Agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-01-1v0gj-900.webp) I've been craving agujjim (spicy braised monkfish) for ages, so I visited Sin Mokpo Agujjim, which is quickly becoming a local favorite near Mokpo's Peace Square, and had the chadol-ssam agujjim.

It arrives already boiled, so you could eat it right away, but we boiled it once more — the broth was salty yet clean, absolutely perfect as an anju (drinking snack) with soju!👍 ![Dongtae jiri egg soup served as a basic dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-14-5ncx7-1200.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* ## Large chadol-ssam agujjim with two whole squids as a service With the chadol-ssam agujjim at Sin Mokpo, you grill hanwoo (Korean beef) beef brisket slices one by one and eat them together with the monkfish. Sin Mokpo Agujjim gives you one whole squid free with any agujjim order. It's supposed to be one squid, but since the squids were on the smaller side, they gave us two — what a nice touch! ![Large chadol-ssam agujjim topped with a whole squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-15-gwli9-900.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* We ordered the large chadol-ssam agujjim, and the portion was genuinely huge — perfect to eat together with the squid!👅 ![Close-up of agujjim with the free whole squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-16-vy4yz-900.webp) ![Stone plate and plate of hanwoo beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-17-alf8q-900.webp) Next, the stone plate and hanwoo brisket came out! You place the brisket on the heated plate and grill it — it cooked up fast, which I loved!👍 ![Hanwoo beef brisket grilling on a heated stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-18-gwsqv-900.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* Once the brisket was cooked, they laid it right on top of the agujjim! ![Grilled beef brisket placed on top of the agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-19-f7kzo-900.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* Loved that the monkfish pieces at Sin Mokpo were big and generous in quantity. ![Large piece of monkfish meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-20-1imal-900.webp) ![Agujjim coated in spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-21-1m1h1-900.webp) ![Picked up bite of agujjim with beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-22-b6wuu-900.webp) ### How spicy is level 2? You can choose the spice level for the agujjim, so I picked level 2 — spicier than Shin Ramyun but milder than Yeolla Ramyun — and it turned out spicier than I expected, in a good way!👍 ![Full view of the spicy level 2 chadol-ssam agujjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-23-1264i-900.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* ## Finishing with fried rice and coffee After the agujjim, you've gotta finish with fried rice! You can order it starting from one serving, but we got two. The fried rice comes already cooked, with the edges crisped up into nurungji (crispy scorched rice)!👍 ![Two servings of agujjim fried rice cooked into nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam-24-ft5ry-704.webp) *[Mokpo agujjim restaurant] A local favorite's chadol-ssam agujjim review* There's even a coffee machine on one side, so you can grab a coffee after your meal at Sin Mokpo Agujjim. I visited expecting a lot since it's a rising spot in Mokpo, and it exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I liked it way more than the agujjim places Mokpo is usually known for, so whenever I want agujjim in Mokpo, I'm definitely coming back to Sin Mokpo Agujjim Main Branch! ## Where it is - Sin Mokpo Agujjim Main Branch (신목포아구찜 본점) - 8-1 Okam-ro, 1F, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 목포시 옥암로 8-1 1층 - 34.8009893, 126.4313469 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%A0%EB%AA%A9%ED%8F%AC%EC%95%84%EA%B5%AC%EC%B0%9C%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@34.8009893,126.4313469,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yangnim-meal-map/mokpo-okam-agujjim-chadol-ssam/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
