Jingu Odeng
진구오뎅 Odeng is the Korean word for fish cakes simmered in broth; Jingu is a proper name the posts do not explain.
Compiled from 8 blog posts read in fullSources →
A basement odeng bar at Donggyo-ro 212-5, between Hongik Univ. station and Yeonnam-dong. At the bar you tick single fish cakes on an order sheet; the tables further in take a 12-piece odeng pot (21,000 won). Sides noted include chicken karaage at 13,000 won, cheese potato salad at 8,000 won and a shrimp odeng at 5,000 won. We read 12 posts from August 2025 to May 2026; 8 describe an actual visit, and 2 were about other businesses in the same building.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Single odeng come with a three-per-person minimum, as two posts state; a third simply says they ordered three each. One post adds that you pay at the end.
- It is not bar-only: three posts describe both counter seats and tables further in. One says tables can't order single skewers, only the pot; another notes that at the counter you may end up facing strangers.
- One post mentions a single outdoor table right by the entrance, first come first served.
- Two posts call it cheap; none calls it expensive.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 2 of 8 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 1 of 8 posts |
Two posts place it below ground — one says you go downstairs because the floor above is another business, the other calls it semi-basement. One mentions entrances at both front and back.
Nobody describes the stairs down, an entrance step, or wheelchair or stroller access. That doesn't mean there is none — we just don't know.
One post says the toilet is inside the bar, apparently a single stall, so separate men's and women's rooms are unclear; blankets are left by the door.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 10 posts we gathered, 2 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.

What we do not know
- No post says what a full visit cost per person; we only have a few item prices, and nobody gives the per-piece odeng price.
- Two posts list hours as daily 18:00–02:00, but both copied it from a listing. Nobody mentions a closing day, and one visitor found it shut twice before and phoned ahead this time.
- Two posts copied the phone number 0507-1310-5287; none says whether reservations are taken.
- No post describes how to get there from a station or bus stop.
- No post mentions waiting. One saw the inner tables fill soon after an early arrival, another says it feels cramped at peak time; whether there's a queue we don't know.
