Mapo · Gongdeok / Market braised pig trotter house
마포소문난원조족발
One of the long-standing trotter shops in the jokbal alley inside Gongdeok Market, where several similar houses sit side by side. The pig trotter is braised, sliced and served warm with salted shrimp sauce, wrapping leaves and soup. It keeps unusually long hours for the style.

FROM OTHER DINERS
I like this little place. The Jokbal is very juicy and tenderly. We pick half and half which served spicy and non-spicy. Pick with vegetables to eat together👍
One of the famous places in Mapo-Dongjak area for steamed pig foot called Jokbal. This place was so crowded even though it was 5 pm. I didn't try for spicy jokbal. When you order a main jokbal, it comes with soondae and soup but it get cold quick. Not going back, but once is eno
Tried their most popular dish Korean pork feet 한돈족발. We ordered a small portion of port feet to share between two people and we could not finish. Side dishes such as kimchi and radish were very tasty. They accept credit card payment.
