About
Hong's jjukkumi — fire-hot baby octopus that built a Hongdae following.
Hong's Jjukkumi built its Hongdae following on fire: baby octopus at documented creeping heat (스르륵, per the house vocabulary), with the full-spicy setting recommended by the Korean regulars and the squid-plus-fried-rice combo — flying-fish roe stacked generously — as the mandatory architecture. The wrap protocol runs specific: mayo mixed in, perilla leaf, pickled radish, seasoned sprouts — the heat-management system disguised as garnish. Queue mechanics: opening (11:30) or post-8pm arrivals against 30-60-minute standards, the outside waiting list as the protocol. Budgets run 32-65,000 with portions generous post-cooking. Daily 11:30-2am; weekday lunch sets to 4pm. The fire is the following: Hong's, at temperature.

Local tips
- Arrive at opening (11:30am) or after 8pm to minimize 30-60min waits — write your name on the waiting list outside.
- Always order the Squid+Fried Rice combo: flying fish roe is stacked generously and included as signature dessert-like finish.
- Choose '약간 매운맛' (less spicy) or '매운맛' (spicy) — Korean diners recommend full spicy for authentic flavor; expect 스르륵 (creeping heat).
- Request 마요네즈 (mayo) and mix with 깻잎 (perilla leaf) + 쌈무 (pickled radish) + 콩나물 (seasoned bean sprouts) for perfect wrap.
- Budget ₩32,000-65,000 per person including sides/extras — squid portions are generous after cooking, no need for multiple orders unless very hungry.
