Jangchungwang Jokbal Bossam is a great restaurant located in Seoul's vibrant Sinchon district. There are a ton of bossam and jokbal places scattered throughout the area and all of them have a little bit of different taste and feel, but I think this is one of the better ones and I'd like to explain why.
There is one other bossam place located in the area that I had already recommended on this blog and that place has more of a homemade type of atmosphere. I would say that Jangchungwang Jokbal Bossam is not exactly the homemade type of atmosphere, but is much more similar to the type of bossam that you might expect at any large bossam chain place.
That being said, it is still flavored excellently. Bossam is a piece of pork belly that has been boiled in water with a ton a spices and all different types of flavors then cut and served which makes it appear like a piece of steamed meat. It is also served with two different types of kimchi that specific to bossam places. In addition this comes with some excellent ssamjang, a mix of onions and other vegetables as well as a dwenjang jjigae. The jjigae in this place is heavy on the dwenjang which is the way that I like it and another part of the reason why I enjoy this place over others. The other sides like the kimchi are also very crisp and fresh which is the way I like it.
There are several dishes to try at this place and I have tried a few of them. They have jokbal as is stated in the name as well as a kimchi jjigae that is absolutely excellent. This is the type of place that Koreans would go after a night of drinking to recover. The stew is sour and thick with loads of kimchi and meat. I highly recommend trying this if you are like this type of thing.
Finally this is a restaurant for all occasions. The interior looks like a very standard large chain type of place without any type of specific feel making it acceptable to just about anyone and for any type of occasion. They are open extremely late as well, so you can come for dinner or in the middle of night when you are out drinking with friends.
