Running since 1985 and now spread across four numbered branches on the same Yangjae-dong block, Yeongdong Jokbal is routinely named one of Seoul's three great jokbal houses, praised for braised pig's trotter without the medicinal-herb smell some competitors carry, served alongside jjangban makguksu and haemul pajeon. ChopChop University treated it less as a fresh find than a standing institution worth revisiting.
