Gwangju's Top-Tier Jjukkumi Restaurant: Sin Jjukkumi Geumho Ssangchon Branch

🔆Sin Jjukkumi 📍1252 Ssangchon-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju A popular lunch spot in Geumho-dong and Ssangchon-dong, Gwangju, Sin Jjukkumi Geumho Ssangchon Branch offers a spacious interior with plenty of tables and even group seating, making it a great choice for gatherings or company dinners. Already well-known as a must-visit restaurant, it attracts a lot of customers, especially since there’s no designated break time. The side dishes are plentiful and impressive, including corn mayo, boiled eggs, bean sprout soup, and pancakes! The corn mayo and pancakes are absolutely delicious (JMT - slang for "super tasty"). The pancakes are incredibly crispy and flavorful, while the bean sprout soup helps balance out the spiciness. The restaurant serves jjukkumi (spicy baby octopus) and dae-pae samgyeopsal (thinly sliced pork belly) marinated with natural seasonings and cold-aged for enhanced flavor. The jjukkumi is fresh, plump, and delightfully chewy, with a rich seafood taste that truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier restaurant.
