Ttaengcho Kkomjangeo

땡초꼼장어 Charcoal-grilled hagfish and chicken feet, open till 2am

Beer and fried chicken · Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 1-ga

Updated · Published

Ttaengcho Kkomjangeo is a hagfish grill 73 metres from exit 7 at Ttukseom, inside the eating alley. Everything goes over charcoal — salt-grilled hagfish ₩16,000, boneless chicken feet ₩14,000, tripe, baby octopus. It opens at five in the evening and closes at two in the morning, one on Sundays. It never closes for the day. Eleven writers call it an old-timer, and one post's title sets it against the Seongsu that is changing around it. The name means chilli pepper, and nineteen posts talk about the heat. There is no parking, and the prices have barely moved in three years.

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

  1. It is very close to Ttukseom station — eleven posts say so. Those who give a distance all give the same one, 73 metres; two say it is right outside exit 7; one says a minute's walk and one under five. Four note that it is inside the eating alley, so there is one turn to make. The exit number differs between posts — mostly 7, but one says 2 and one says 1. Take exit 7 (eight posts). It serves until two in the morning, and being this near the station is why people use it as the second stop of the evening — three say as much.
  2. Six writers found the service kind, three of them with something specific: "the staff were so kind I nearly welled up," "good food, kind people — if you want hagfish in Seongsu, come here, no argument." A third signs off wishing them a long life in business and adds, in brackets, that she is not friends with the owner — marking the praise as arm's length. Nobody says anyone helps with the grilling, so you cook it yourself.
  3. It is a hot place — sixteen writers say so after eating. The name means chilli pepper, and the heat is the point. But you choose your level — six posts record three of them: mild, medium, hot. Even on "medium" they disagree: three found it hotter than expected ("medium and still properly hot," "medium and it still creeps up on you," "medium and it did sting"), while one was disappointed the other way — "milder than I expected; I should have asked for hot." Two offer a yardstick: medium is a shade hotter than a packet of Shin Ramyun. If you cannot take heat, ask for mild; the writer who eats her tteokbokki at standard heat describes the hot version as setting her mouth alight. Two order the egg soup or a rice ball to take the edge off.

Parking

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

Posts saying you cannot5 of 25 posts

There is no parking. Seven posts say so, most in a header line; one says it in his own words — no designated space, use a paid lot nearby. One names two private car parks as alternatives. It is inside an eating alley and it serves until two in the morning, so it was never a place to drive to: three posts put it 73 metres from exit 7.

Naver Map has a full English mode — Settings → Language → English. In Korea it gives better walking and transit directions than Google Maps.

Getting inside

Toilet inside1 of 25 posts

No post says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair can get in — none of the words appears anywhere in the twenty-seven posts. That it is on the ground floor and that nobody mentions stairs is the extent of it. But it sits back inside an eating alley and looks narrow from the street, and the width of the door and the aisles is something nobody writes about. That is not a finding of no access; if it matters, ring (02-466-1945).

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · 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.

What we do not know

  • It is old, and that is why people come. Eleven call it a nopo — a long-standing neighbourhood place. One title credits a forty-year local with the recommendation; another calls it a hidden old-timer in a Seongsu that keeps changing. It appears in a round-up that opens "getting popular — please don't get popular." Two compare the room to a street tent or an old beer hall. It reads as the shop that did not change while Seongsu did — and the prices bear that out: salt-grilled hagfish was ₩16,000 in 2023 and is ₩16,000 now.
  • There is another shop of the same name in Gwangjin-gu — check the address when you search. One of the thirty posts we were given was about the one at 49 Jayang-ro 18-gil (its check-in tag said so, and the rest of the day was spent around Guui and Jayang). This one is at 9-31 Wangsimni-ro 10-gil, Seongdong-gu, by exit 7 at Ttukseom. The reverse also happened: one post carried a check-in tag for the Gwangjin shop while giving our address correctly in the text. Do not trust the pin; read the address.
  • Nearly everyone liked it; one person plainly did not. One title boasts of a third and fourth visit, another writer expects to become a regular with her husband — while one post, working through a numbered list, records: "6. Would return: no. 7. Would recommend: no." We are not deleting that line. It is one of twenty-seven, and since the writer does not say why, neither do we guess. Two others record actually going back.
  • No post declares sponsorship. Six say they paid, one adding in brackets that she is not friends with the owner. The other twenty-one say nothing. Two of the thirty posts we were given turned out to be the same blogger's reviews of other restaurants, with our name appearing only as a link title beneath them and our address nowhere at all. Those two are out.
  • Ground floor, and not one post mentions stairs. All twenty-seven give the address as the ground floor of 9-31, and nobody writes about going up or down. It looks small from outside and is not — "a small-looking shop with plenty of room further in," "another five tables or so past the lavatory." The lavatory is inside (two posts).
