01 LOCAL TABLEJumak
Jumak is a Korean home-style restaurant in Yeonnam-dong that focuses on simple, hearty dishes rather than the modern fusion food often associated with the neighborhood. Its menu centers on barley rice, Tulleogi Sujebi, spicy stir-fried baby octopus and grilled pollock, with several dishes available as two-person sets. The restaurant is especially known for Tulleogi Sujebi, a rustic Korean soup-and-dough dish made with a soybean-paste-based broth, vegetables and hand-torn pieces of sujebi. The restaurant was also featured on the Korean TV food program Tasty Guys. The current menu is relatively accessible for a Korean meal in the Hongdae–Yeonnam area. Barley rice is listed at ₩10,000, Tulleogi Sujebi at ₩24,000 for two people, Jjukkumi Jeongsik at ₩22,000 for two, and grilled pollock at ₩22,000. The portions are frequently described as generous, making this more of a neighborhood Korean meal restaurant than a destination for elaborate dining.
