Hongs Jjukkumi Hongdae Branch

WHY VISIT

Hongs Jjukkumi, a long-standing jjukkumi (spicy stir-fried baby octopus) restaurant in Hongdae, attracts locals and foreigners alike. Despite its popularity, the spacious restaurant ensures that wait times are short. The signature dish is jjukkumi, but you can also enjoy a variety of combinations such as jjukkumi with samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) jjukkumi with shrimp, and jjukkumi with chadol (beef brisket). You can choose the level of spiciness, making it accessible for those who can't handle very spicy food. Additionally, a variety of side dishes pair well with jjukkumi and help balance the spiciness. A special treat is the complimentary fried rice you can enjoy after your meal. The restaurant also offers English menus, making ordering convenient for foreign visitors.
