Kkochnagji

Kkot Nakji is an octopus restaurant in Jamsil-dong near Samjeon Station that serves nakji bokkeum and yeonpo haejangguk. The nakji bokkeum gets its heat from cheongyang gochu and gochugaru, and the spice level can be chosen from four stages. Orders come with junghwamyeon, gyeranjjim, and rice, and the smoky flavor comes from wok tossing rather than additives. The dining room is small, so there is often a wait at mealtimes.
