About

Yongdu-dong Jukkumi Alley is a street specializing in jukkumi (webfoot octopus), located near Exit 6 of Jegi-dong Station on Subway Line 1. The street took shape in the early 1990s, and its most popular dish is jukkumi stir-fried on a hot iron plate with spicy seasoning. Beginning with a golden jukkumi statue at the entrance, the alley is lined with jukkumi restaurants. Many regulars have been coming here for years, and part of the fun is walking into whichever of the many jukkumi restaurants catches your eye. Seasoned with spicy gochujang and cooked on an iron plate, Yongdu-dong jukkumi is a true local delicacy.
