About
Casual jokbal spot near Seolleung Station known for crispy deep-fried jokbal with green onions and revolving lazy Susan side dish trays.
Just a four-minute walk from Seolleung Station Exit 2, Uwahan Jokbal offers an unpretentious, spacious respite from the packed dining corridors of Daechi-dong. While nearby pork trotters spots are notorious for hour-long queues, this bright Gangnam hall comfortably handles casual after-work drinks, wedding dinner gatherings, and team dinners with generous table setups and easy reservations. The dining experience begins with a thoughtful detail: a rotating lazy Susan tray embedded right into the table, ringed with side dishes so no one reaches awkwardly across the table. Guests spin their way through scallion kimchi, radish kimchi, aged *mukeunji*, pickled vegetables, and chilled cucumber soup. A dedicated self-bar lets diners freely replenish condiments, fresh lettuce, and even complimentary barley rice with doenjang soup. Pork takes center stage, braised clean without sharp medicinal odors and carved to order with an even ratio of gelatinous skin to tender meat. The classic *jokbal* arrives glossy and supple, best paired with a tang of salted shrimp or wrapped in lettuce with pungent garlic. Uwahan’s standout twist is *twigim pajok*—braised trotter deep-fried to create a crisp, chicken-like exterior, balanced beneath a towering mound of fresh shredded scallions that cuts through the rich fat. For broader group cravings, split-tray combos incorporate tender boiled *bossam*, fiery *buljok* slicked in red-pepper sauce, or even fried chicken. To break up the pork’s richness, the classic order requires a platter of cold *makguksu*. Tossed tableside by hand using disposable plastic gloves, the buckwheat noodles come coated in a sharp, sweet-and-sour chili sauce that wraps around the warm pork slices. Wash it down with a cold draft beer or soju, and the lively room makes total sense: Uwahan Jokbal keeps things efficient, hearty, and geared entirely toward easy group indulgence.
