Even though Ogane Jokbal is delicious enough to prospered into a multi-branched enterprise, the restaurant choose to operate and focus on a single branch to keep and develop the qualified, consistent taste of Jokbal (pig trotters). The chewy and soft texture of jokbal is a popular menu, as well as bossam (vegetable wraps with pork) and makguksu (spicy buckwheat noodles).

The meat was tender and nicely marinated, with the right amount of fat and tendon. The garlic vinegar with shredded cabbage dipping sauce was wonderful with the jokbal.

If you get all weird about eating pig hocks, then don’t bother, it’s not your thing.
