Jokbal Sinseonsaeng Goyang Hwajeong-yeokjeom

족발신선생 고양화정역점 A branch of the Jokbal Shinseonsaeng chain, where the pork trotters are finished over a wood fire

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-10-01 · Compiled by Gilpost

Jokbal Shinseonsaeng Goyang Hwajeong is a pork-trotter house on the ground floor of a building directly opposite the Lotte Mart, 200 metres from exit 2 at Hwajeong station on Line 3. The sign reads 'roasted in a wood oven', and that is the claim: the trotters are not merely boiled but finished over fire. It is one branch of a nationwide chain — while reading we had to remove four posts that were about the Seolleung, Incheon Wanjeong, Bucheon and Sinwon-dong branches and shared only the name. A raw-fish house downstairs and a bakery upstairs share the same street address. It does not open for lunch: from four in the afternoon (writers disagree about weekends — some say three, some say Saturday is four as well) until one in the morning. A large screen inside brings football into several of these posts, and the front opens up in summer. The posts we read run from December 2024 to August 2026.

The basics

2 posts say it is walkable from the station.

What to order

• 화덕족발5 ate it
  hwadeok jokbal₩38,000 · ₩41,000

  **The dish the shop is named for** — the sign reads 'Jokbal Shinseonsaeng, roasted in a wood oven'. Not merely boiled but finished over volcanic stone, writers say; four of them describe a crisp outside, a wet inside and a faint smokiness. It arrives on a little burner so it stays hot to the end

  One post gives ₩38,000 small (May 2025), another ₩41,000 medium (February 2025). **Two people are told to take the medium**, according to one writer, who adds drily that they might as well call the small a single portion. Another party of three found the medium too small and says to take the large. Two writers note the complete absence of any porky off-smell

• 보쌈(가브리살)·화덕보쌈5 ate it
  bossam₩37,000

  **Bossam cut from pork jowl** — the menu names the cut. Roasted, it comes in long slices, and one writer says the fat has run out of it, leaving it lean. It can also be taken as half of a two-way plate with the jokbal

  One post gives ₩37,000 for the small (August 2025). Writers call it tender and nutty; one found it dry on the day, and adds that on any given visit either the jokbal or the bossam is the better of the two

• 매운불족발(화덕불족)4 ate it
  maeun buljok₩37,000

  The jokbal in a hot glaze. **You can pick the heat** — one writer says to say so when ordering if you want it milder. Two who took it hot describe it as a good heat: somewhere between fire-chicken sauce and a hot instant ramyeon, says one

  One post gives ₩37,000 for the small (February 2025). One warns that the weak of tongue will be drinking water; another's companion wept through it. A mayonnaise-like sauce is said to take the edge off. **One delivery order found it ketchup-like and not hot at all — that post is outside our count, since the writer never came in**

• 반반(실속반반)3 ate it
  banban₩51,000

  Half jokbal, half bossam on one plate. The card offers two, three or four choices; all three writers who ordered it took two. **The plate comes divided down the middle and sits on the burner**

  One December 2025 post: roasted jokbal and bossam, plus a garlic sauce, ₩51,000 for the medium — and the owner warned in advance that people are divided about the garlic sauce. Another writer put a medium two-way plate, the noodles, a rice ball, oysters and soju at about ₩70,000 for two

• 백골뱅이탕1 ate it
  baek golbaengi-tang

  A clear whelk soup. One writer notes that the first page of the menu belongs to whelks, not to pork. The single account of eating it calls it a hangover cure in itself — deep broth, soft whelk, a heap of vegetables and fish cake

  No post gives a price. One writer means to come back for this and for the cold-dressed jokbal

• 화덕통구이족발(앞다리)named in 1
  hwadeok tongguri jokbal₩53,000

  A whole front trotter, the dearest thing on the list. **No writer here has eaten it** — one arrived at eight on a Saturday evening, was told it had gone, and took the ordinary roasted jokbal instead

  The price does **not** come from a diner but from two posts that transcribed the Naver listing: ₩51,000 in December 2024, ₩53,000 in April 2025. One writer's advice: on a weekend evening the popular cuts go early, so come sooner

Sides, and what comes with it

• 쟁반국수(막국수)11 ate it
  jaengban guksu

  **With a main you choose this or the gorgonzola pizza, free.** Eleven writers mention it and nearly all took the noodles — sharp, sweet, piled with vegetables, and more than one wraps it up with the meat in a lettuce leaf

  One writer sized it up; one had the cucumber left out; one enjoyed the crushed peanut in it; one found the portion small. And one is glad to be eating it in the shop, where the noodles have not had time to swell

• 짬뽕순두부11 ate it
  jjamppong sundubu

  **It comes free with a main, and it is the most written-about thing here.** You boil it yourself on a gas ring, and they bring a raw egg to break into it. Writers reach for it when the meat wants cutting through, and call it a perfect thing to drink beside; one thinks it good enough to sell on its own

  One likens it exactly to instant ramyeon with an egg stirred through; another finds it deep and thick. **Not one of the eleven gives a price** — every one of them was given it

• 통영 굴(생굴·어리굴젓)3 ate it
  Tongyeong gul₩11,000

  **A jokbal house that sells oysters.** Raw Tongyeong oysters and the salted, chilli-dressed kind, both listed separately. One writer, Tongyeong-born, says she can tell from the colour alone and these were fresh, with no smell of the turn

  One writer paid ₩11,000 for 200g of raw oysters (December 2024). **Two others were given the salted ones free** — one reports a member of staff coming over to offer them unasked. One warns off anyone who dislikes the smell of oyster; another calls the pairing with the pork a revelation

• 날치알주먹밥3 ate it
  nalchial jumeokbap

  Rice rolled by hand with flying-fish roe. Two writers say plainly: order it

  None of the three who ordered it in the shop gives a price; one received it as part of a bossam set

• 고르곤졸라피자2 ate it
  gorgonjolla pija

  The free alternative to the noodles. **Six writers record the choice; only two took it** — one, eating the hot jokbal, found the crisp base, the blue cheese and the honey balanced the heat

  One recommends it outright to anyone who struggles with heat. Another ordered a second one after the meat ran short and was taken aback by how good it was

• 계란찜2 ate it
  gyeranjjim₩4,000

  Steamed egg, risen to the brim of its bowl, finished with spring onion and sesame oil

  **The posts disagree** — a December 2025 writer paid ₩4,000 to add it; an August 2025 writer describes it as one of the free extras. We could not check which is right

• 족발볶음밥1 ate it
  jokbal bokkeumbap

  One writer, still hungry after the pork, added it along with a pizza and was taken aback by how good it turned out

  No post gives a price

To drink

• 소주4 ate it
  soju

  **Drink runs through these posts.** One writer has never once come here and not ordered soju; another blames the free tofu stew for the bottle. The place opens in the afternoon and runs to one in the morning

  No post gives a price. Two writers were charmed by the bottle opener, shaped like a stone-age hammer — one of them adds that she never got to use it, having ordered nothing that needed opening

• 막걸리1 ate it
  makgeolli

  One writer drank it — three bottles between two of them

  No post gives a price

Parking

2 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Do not drive here. Two writers say there is nowhere to leave a car: park in front and you will be ticketed, says one; there is honestly nowhere, says the other, though people double-park across the road at night and move when called. Both used the Lotte Mart car park next door, and one makes a habit of doing the shopping afterwards. A line promising two free hours in that car park appears in several posts, but it is lifted from the Naver listing and nobody writes about actually using it. Bear in mind too that this is a place that serves until one in the morning — leaving the car behind is the sensible reading.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

It is on the ground floor — but that comes from our licence record and the address line people paste in, not from anyone's eyes. Across fourteen posts there is no mention of a stair, a lift or a ramp. One writer photographed it from the pavement (that's the place, just there); another says the front opens right up in summer, so it feels like drinking outside. It reads like a shop you walk straight into, but whether there is a step at the door, nobody says. A bakery upstairs in the same building is reached by an outdoor stair — that is the neighbour's business, and we have kept it out of this shop's count.

Nobody writes about getting in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. Across fourteen posts, the words for wheelchair, pushchair, ramp, step and threshold do not appear once. Two posts do copy Naver's facilities list, which includes a high chair — but those two record no meal and are outside our count, and a copied list is not something anyone saw. None of the fourteen brought a child. This is not a 'no'; it is we do not know. If it matters, telephone first.

Not one writer mentions the lavatories. The phrase 'separate men's and women's' does appear in two posts about this shop, but both times inside a copied run — takeaway, booking, delivery, wi-fi, separate lavatories, groups welcome, high chair, waiting area, contactless — lifted from the Naver listing, and neither of those posts records a meal, so both are outside our count. Whether the lavatories are inside the shop or shared with the building, and how many there are, nobody looked. In a place that pours until one in the morning you will want to know, and we cannot tell you.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 20 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• It is an easy walk from the station, but only two writers actually did it. One puts it at 200 metres from exit 2, under five minutes. The other rode Line 3 for an hour from the Express Bus Terminal and stood most of the way. The remaining twelve either say nothing about getting here or copy the Naver directions — and one of those copies even gets the exit number wrong (that same post also gives an address and a telephone number that are not this shop's). Not one writer arrives by bus.
• Only one writer mentions a queue at all: she walked in at night without booking, found two or three tables left, and by the time she was eating people were waiting. Two others found the room full but did not wait — one arrived early and it was already almost full, one found families and work parties filling it up. Against that, one writer was practically the first customer of the evening (a Monday, early). Nobody records how long a wait actually is. What is recorded is that the popular cuts sell out on a weekend evening, so if you want the whole roasted trotter, come early.
• Not one of these posts declares a sponsorship. We read the bodies and the hashtags. Six writers say they paid for themselves; one was treated by her partner. Two others record getting a free rice ball or a small trotter through a review promotion — both were delivery or takeaway orders and are outside our count. One thing is worth flagging: an August 2025 post is built out of tick-marks and emoji, and the address and telephone number in its info box are not this shop's. Its account of the meal is specific enough to count, but we used nothing from that box. And three of these posts are diaries running through many restaurants; in those we read only this shop's passage and counted only this shop's passage — no parking, no lavatories, no waiting from any of the three.
