Jung-gu · Jangchung-dong / Braised pork trotters

Ttungttungi Halmoni Jokbal

장충동 뚱뚱이할머니집

The restaurant traces back to an eatery its founder opened in 1957, part of the original wave of cooks who turned this street into Seoul's best-known jokbal alley. Trotters are simmered in a soy-based broth until the skin turns glossy and tender, then sliced to share.
