Jjukkumi & pork belly in Gangnam — ₩17,000 per person at Idaepal Jjukkumi, then fried rice
Visited 8 Oct 2026 · Idaepal Jjukkumi (이대팔쭈꾸미), Gangnam
Jjukkumi and pork belly in Gangnam: at Idaepal Jjukkumi (이대팔쭈꾸미) I ordered jjukkumi samgyeopsal — spicy stir-fried baby octopus with pork belly and bean sprouts, cooked on a pan at the table — and finished with fried rice in the same pan. The menu price recorded on the visit was ₩17,000 per person; the fried rice is charged separately. There was a line, the floor staff were foreign workers, and the prices felt cheap for Gangnam.

- What an owner notices
- It is a place people queue for, and for Gangnam the price is low. The floor staff serving us were foreign workers. The one weak point: the restroom is inconvenient.
- Tip for visitors
- The staff are from abroad, which some visitors may find welcoming — but I did not check what languages they speak, so the Korean phrases below are useful. Leave room for the fried rice.
- One scene
- The pan arrives raw: a mound of bean sprouts and curls of pork belly on top of red, spicy baby octopus, over a blue gas flame. Once it cooks down it gets wrapped in perilla leaves, and at the end the leftover sauce becomes fried rice, stirred in the same pan.
