Located in Junggye-dong, Lee Jong-gu Nakji is a place that has gone viral for its spicy pollack stew and soft octopus dishes.
It was a place I went with on the recommendation of my close friend Bobby, and I was really satisfied when I came out with Lee Jong-gun Octopus in Junggye-dong.
There is also a parking space for about 6 cars in front of the store, so it's easy to bring your own car.
There is a bus stop nearby, so I think it's easy to get there by bus.

Lee Jong-gu octopus interior

All of Lee Jong-kunakji are seated at the table.

When I think of octopus, for some reason, I think of a room where you take off your shoes and go in.

Personally, I don't regret wanting it to be a standing table.

However, there is no major inconvenience, probably because octopus is considered a sedentary meal.

Ijonggu octopus price/menu

What is worth noticing at Lee Jong-gu Nakji, a gourmet restaurant in Junggye-dong

The point is that the signature stir-fried fishing can be ordered for one person!

Other than today's target, spicy pollack stew, they mostly serve dishes using octopus.

I've eaten stir-fried fishing once before

Today, I'm going to try the rice thief spicy pollack stew with octopus and seafood as a side dish!

Salads topped with plenty of dressing are always hearty and easy to eat.

Tofu is made in a soft sundubu style topped with sauce.

Ripe white kimchi was made by adding hot radish as well.

It looked like it was chewy, but I really like the crunchy texture.

Boiled bean sprouts and ingredients are things you enjoy when wrapping pollack stew.

The life of bean sprouts is that they don't have a fresh smell and are still crunchy!

Octopus seafood pancake 10,000

The plump octopus came in so much that it could be easily identified with the naked eye.

It looks like the chijimi batter also contains plenty of chijimi powder, and the crispness is right there.

As befits the name octopus seafood chanjeon, it was nice to have plenty of octopus in it.

They put sensually chopped peppers, green onions, etc. into the sauce.

It's a vinegar-infused soy sauce style, so it's a combination that goes well with fatty green onions!

“Please drive a puffy octopus~”

Pictures that remind me of Hyeri's ramen commercial copy on Girl's Day.

Even if you put in this much octopus, if it gets tough, it won't get your hands back.

The octopus is soft without being chewy, so it goes over the cake.

Looking at the texture of octopus alone, it was like chewing on a chewy mochi.

Spicy pollack stew 7,500 (order for 2 or more people)

Spicy pollack stew appeared with the savory flavor of sesame oil.

They added spicy green pepper to make the most of the spiciness.

Miso soup is also included as a service.

I arrived while it was simmering, but the seaweed cooled slightly while taking the pollack stew.

The stew had a deeper flavor than I had anticipated, so I had a lot of trouble getting my hands on it.

It contains plenty of sesame oil, so I think it would be nice to reduce breakage a little bit!

One pollock is served per serving, so the pollack stew above is 2 servings = 2 fish.

They said that the precious pollock is made in Russia,

It is said that fish caught in Russia due to reduced catches these days are processed again in Gangwon Province.

The condiment soaked right into the pollock, which was firmer than I had anticipated.

As for the sauce, soy sauce holds the heavy base, so the umami spreads well.

The spiciness was perfect for me, so I remember eating it with great satisfaction.

A delicious way to eat pollack stew

Put rice on raw fish, and bean sprouts on top of it,

Put pollock and spicy cheongyang pepper on it, wrap it as it is, and you're done-

The pepper is not very spicy, so the umami is enhanced even more.

It is said that they fell in love with this attractive combination and ended up adding one more bowl of rice

I take it for granted when I don't have a taste, and I think of it even more when I eat a good meal

The moment when the spicy pollack stew from Lee Jong-gunakji, a gourmet restaurant in Junggye-dong, was appointed as a rice thief.


A place that offers delicious octopus dishes as well as pollack stew.
