ABOUT
Yeonnam Jokbal 1987 is a casual jokbal restaurant located on Donggyo-ro in Yeonnam-dong, close to Hongdae and the Gyeongui Line Forest Park area. Unlike traditional jokbal restaurants that focus primarily on boiled pork feet, this restaurant is particularly known for its fried jokbal, giving the familiar Korean dish a crispier and more contemporary style. The restaurant also serves several variations including garlic, spicy and cold jokbal. The restaurant's menu is designed mainly for sharing. The current listed prices include Yeonnam Jokbal at ₩34,000, garlic jokbal at ₩37,000, spicy jokbal at ₩36,000 and cold jokbal at ₩38,000. Two-color and four-color jokbal sets are also available, as well as combinations with cold buckwheat noodles. Since these are generally sharing portions rather than individual meals, the restaurant remains within Eat in Korea's ₩40,000-per-person exclusion rule when the cost is divided among two or more diners.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
The most distinctive feature mentioned in recent reviews is the fried texture of the jokbal. Rather than simply serving the soft, chewy texture associated with conventional jokbal, the fried version adds a crisp outer texture while retaining the tender meat and gelatinous skin underneath. This makes the restaurant particularly different from a standard neighborhood jokbal restaurant. Reviews also frequently mention the generous presentation of the jokbal set, which can include fresh vegetables, lettuce, kimchi, pickles, garlic, green chili, salted shrimp and several sauces. Cold buckwheat noodles are another popular accompaniment. The overall experience is described as casual and lively, making it suitable for friends, couples or small groups rather than a formal Korean dining experience.

The restaurant is located at 222 Donggyo-ro, close to Hongdae Station and the Yeonnam-dong area. The restaurant is part of the local “1987 Street” group of restaurants that developed around Yeonnam-dong, rather than a major national franchise. For first-time visitors, the fried jokbal is the clearest reason to choose this restaurant. Visitors looking for a more traditional jokbal experience may prefer the standard Yeonnam Jokbal, while those who want something different can try the fried version. Because most jokbal dishes are sharing portions, visiting with at least two people is recommended.
