🏅 Bib Gourmand–Selected Warm Five-Spice Jokbal: Manjok Ohyang Jokbal City Hall

We confidently recommend Manjok Ohyang Jokbal, a jokbal (braised pig’s trotters) specialist named a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Seoul 2022 — ideal for experiencing authentic Korean jokbal.

If you are staying around City Hall or Gwanghwamun, we recommend the City Hall branch on Seosomun-ro near Exit 8 of City Hall Station for a hearty dinner.

The trotters are slowly boiled with spices to bring out a chewy, collagen-rich texture, and this is the restaurant that first developed warm jokbal in Korea.

Another signature is the bul-jokbal, tossed in cheongyang chili sauce and flame-grilled; the half-and-half plate lets you enjoy it alongside the five-spice jokbal.
