Gangnam Station jokbal restaurant Ppong Jok (Ppongnamujaengi Jokbal)
The assorted jokbal is so generous!
These days, the evening wind feels chilly,
but during the day the sunlight was so bright and harsh.
Maybe that’s why I just couldn’t fully give up my summer clothes.
I think it’s better to be cold than to be hot.
So even when making plans, I end up avoiding grilled dishes
or foods that have to be boiled and eaten!
It was a last-minute plan,
and I couldn’t just eat anything, so the menu that came to mind was
jokbal or bossam.
Since I thought of Ppong Jok near Gangnam Station (Ppongnamujaengi Jokbal),
I went straight there.
It was the day before a holiday, it was raining,
and because it overlapped with dinner time, I had to wait in line. T_T
I didn’t take a separate photo,
but right in front of the Gangnam Station jokbal restaurant,
if you enter your phone number, a waiting number appears,
you can see how many teams are ahead of you,
and you can even cancel your reservation.
There were about 9 teams ahead of me,
and I think I waited around 20–30 minutes.

Just like Ppong Jok in Seolleung, the Gangnam Station branch also has
a huge crowd!
There are quite a lot of people here for company dinners too,
so it’s a bit noisyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Still, I was glad there happened to be a seat open in a corner,
so I could eat without too much noise.
When you come to Ppong Jok near Gangnam Station,
you have to order the half-and-half jokbal, right?
The regular Ppong jokbal is tender and so delicious,
but the spicy seasoned jokbal is really tasty too!

The basic side dishes served at this Gangnam Station jokbal restaurant,
Ppong Jok, aren’t many.
Only the side dishes you can eat with jokbal!
Radish salad, seasoned chives, fresh kimchi, lettuce wraps,
salted shrimp, sliced garlic, ssamjang, and bean sprout soup
That’s exactly what comes out.

There are also side menu items like steamed eggs, nurungji,
tuna kimchi stew, and water/spicy bibim naengmyeon,
but I’m too busy just eating the jokbal!
When ordering, I was going to get the medium assorted jokbal
because I worried there might be leftovers,
but they said that size is for 2 people.
When I said there were 3 of us, they told me I had to order the large size.
After trying it, the medium size would have been absolutely not enough,,^^,,,,

Maybe because it had been so long since I last had Ppong Jok,
I was busy taking a bite the moment I saw it...!..
Some people around me say the regular Ppong Jok is better,
but there are also people who say the seasoned jokbal is tastier.
The seasoned one is also quite spicy, but it’s addictive,
so you keep going back for more at Gangnam Station Ppong Jok!

The regular jokbal has a good balance of lean meat and skin,
and the meat itself is so tender that it’s really delicious.
On the other hand, the seasoned jokbal seemed to have more lean meat than skin.
Still, it wasn’t dry at all, so I was able to enjoy it a lot.
There are probably many jokbal restaurants near Gangnam Station,
but I still haven’t found a place as delicious as Ppong Jok.
The delivery riders were coming and going a lot,
and there were really many people picking up takeout too!
If you live nearby, it seems like a great place to get takeout often.
