Ilho Jokbal is a useful name to know if you are exploring Myeonmok-dong and want a shared Korean meal near the market. The draw is a straightforward combination: a platter of sliced pork, with chicken feet for diners who enjoy something spicy.

A neighborhood food stop near Myeonmok Market

Ilho Jokbal sits at 36 Sagajeong-ro 50-gil in Jungnang-gu, in the Myeonmok Market area. For a visitor, this makes it a meal to plan around a neighborhood walk and a shared table. Look for the Korean name, 일호족발, when navigating; the English spelling can vary between map services.

The review photographs give a clear idea of the food. One shows slices of pork arranged across a platter, with brown skin, pale meat and thicker pieces around the edges. Another shows pork and red-sauced chicken feet packed separately for takeaway. They capture the two dishes that make this shop worth considering together.

Jokbal and dakbal explained

Jokbal is Korean braised pork trotter, typically sliced so that you eat the meat and skin together. The skin brings a springy texture, making the dish quite different from a lean pork steak. Regular jokbal is the sensible starting point if you prefer pork without a spicy coating.

Dakbal means chicken feet. Expect small bones and a texture that is very different from chicken breast. At Ilho Jokbal, visitor photographs show chicken feet in red sauce, and reports describe them as spicy. Ask about the heat before adding them to your meal; do not assume they are boneless.

With friends, choose the pork first, then decide whether everyone wants to share the chicken feet. That keeps the main order simple and gives diners who enjoy spicy food an extra option.

These published reference prices were checked on October 12, 2026. Confirm the menu at the shop before ordering.

A medium pork platter and large chicken feet total KRW 38,000 before drinks or sides. Split between two, that is KRW 19,000 per person; treat it as a budget example, since appetites and portion needs differ. Adding the listed noodles brings the total to KRW 50,000.

Eating in or taking food home

Visitor reports describe both meals at the shop and takeaway purchases. The photographed containers show a practical way to bring pork and chicken feet home for a shared meal.

Check the available sizes before placing a takeaway order. Published menus mark the small and medium chicken-feet options as takeaway only, but recent visitor accounts suggest the available selection can change. Ask what is being sold that day rather than planning around one particular size.

Some visitors also report pork selling out. If jokbal is your main reason for coming, call ahead and keep your arrival time flexible. A listed closing time does not guarantee that every dish remains available until then.

Who this stop suits

Ilho Jokbal is worth considering for diners who want a local market-area meal and are comfortable sharing dishes. The pork gives the table a clear starting point, while chicken feet add a second texture and a spicy option.

For a first visit, keep the order focused: choose one pork platter, ask about chicken feet, and add noodles only if your group wants more. That gives you a practical introduction to the menu without relying on an oversized order.
