This restaurant in Pyeongtaek-si is known for kimchi cabbage wraps with pork, which the official listing names as its most famous menu item.
The Korea Tourism Organization’s English restaurant data (content 2677038, retrieved October 5, 2026) describes it as a Korean-dishes restaurant that is a good place for a meeting.
The name itself spells out the two dishes it is built around: jokbal (pig’s trotters), pajeon (scallion pancake), and geuttae geujip, which means ‘that house back then.’
That description — a place for a meeting — points to a group-dining restaurant rather than a solo counter spot.
The two dishes in the name, jokbal and pajeon, are both multi-person plates, which fits.
If you are coming alone for a quick meal, a shared-plate house is a harder fit than a pair or a group.
When I look at a listing like this, the first thing I check is the hours and the closing day, because 17:00–24:00 with Sunday closed decides whether the trip is even possible for your schedule.

What to Order: Jokbal and Pajeon, With the Korean Words
Order the Kimchi Cabbage Wraps with Pork, the listing’s most famous menu, and the Braised Pigs’ Feet (Jokbal) listed alongside it.
| Dish (say or point to this) | What it is |
|---|---|
| 족발 (jokbal, JOK-bal) | Braised pigs’ feet — trotters braised in a soy-and-spice broth, sliced thin, served with a salted shrimp dip |
| 파전 (pajeon, pah-JON) | Savory scallion pancake — a wheat-and-egg batter loaded with green onions and pan-fried, often shared as a drinking-side dish |
| 김치 쌈 (kimchi ssam) — the famous one | Kimchi Cabbage Wraps with Pork — cold kimchi leaves used as the wrap around the pork instead of lettuce |
Jokbal arrives pre-sliced and is assembled at the table into wraps with the provided vegetable leaves and dipping sauce, and a plate is sized for 2–4 people.
You do not need to read a menu to order here.
The Korean name literally reads jokbal + pajeon + geuttae geujip, so saying ‘jokbal’ or ‘pajeon’ out loud covers both signature dishes — if you want the famous one specifically, say ‘kimchi ssam’ and point at the wrap item.
Hours and Closing Day: Dinner Only, Closed Sunday
The restaurant serves one daily window, 17:00 to 24:00, and closes on Sunday — 7 open hours a day, 6 days a week, or 42 open hours per week per the KTO listing retrieved October 5, 2026.
There is no lunch service, and no break time is stated inside the window.
The kitchen runs until midnight, so a same-evening visit has to start before closing.
Saturday is the only weekend day it opens.
If your free day is Sunday, this restaurant is not an option and you need a different plan; any weekday evening works.
If you are coming from Seoul for dinner, aim to arrive at or shortly after the 17:00 opening — that leaves the full seven hours of margin before the midnight close instead of cutting it close.
Reservations: the Phone Number to Call
Reservations are available, and the listed number +82-31-662-5392 is the direct booking line.
A call is the practical route for groups, because the description marks this as a meeting-friendly, shared-plate restaurant where a table for several people matters.
A reservation also helps with the language question.
Whether English or picture menus are available on site is not confirmed, so booking ahead by phone is the one step that does not depend on reading anything in Korean.
If you are a pair or a group ordering the shared jokbal plate, call ahead; if you are solo on a weekday early evening, walking in at opening is the lower-risk option.
How to Get There from Seoul: Line 1 to Songtan Station
Take Seoul Subway Line 1 to Songtan Station — about 60–70 minutes from Seoul Station with no transfer, which makes the trip workable as a day-trip dinner stop.
The station sits within walking distance of the Songtan-ro dining strip, where the restaurant stands at 263 Songtan-ro.
The exact exit and the walking minutes from the station to the address are not confirmed, so check a metro route planner for that last leg before you go.
Only the rail access is confirmed — bus routes serving the address are not listed in the sources.
If I were going, I would take a late-afternoon Line 1 train, walk the Songtan Central Market block before 17:00, and be at the door at opening with a phone reservation already made — the market is on the same street grid and Sunday is the only day that plan breaks.
What’s Nearby: Songtan Central Market and the Osan Air Base District
The restaurant sits in the Songtan market district, within walking reach of Songtan Station and Songtan Central Market.
Market stalls run by day and the dining street takes over by evening, which is why a market walk plus a 17:00 dinner pairs naturally in one stop.
Songtan’s restaurant district grew around Osan Air Base, the US military installation next to the neighborhood, and the area is known for its traditional market and dense dining options.
Do not plan around prices, parking, or takeout — none of these are given in the listing, and parking and takeout are blank in the KTO entry.
If you want to combine dinner with sightseeing, this is the easiest kind of stop: market first, dinner after, on Line 1 both ways.
