Store Features and Services
"88 (Palpal) Jjimdak" strives to provide the following three "pleasures":
Enjoying the "Sauce" ~ "Seven Original Sauces" that overturn existing concepts ~
Each of the seven original sauces is carefully crafted with ingredients that match the sauce. We offer innovative flavors that have never been seen in Jjimdak before, including the classic Korean "Black Jjimdak (sweet and spicy soy sauce)," "Beef Galbi Jjim" with a strong beef and garlic flavor, the hugely popular "Rose Cream Jjimdak" with gochujang and fresh cream, the rich Korean miso-based "Jjajang Pork Galbi Jjim," the "Mala Pork Galbi Jjim" with carefully selected spices, the "Curry Cream Jjimdak" based on selected spices, and the addictive "Basil Cream Jjimdak" with the refreshing taste of basil and the mellow creaminess.
Enjoying the "Texture" ~ "Chewy x Crispy" Enchanting Texture Experience ~
The chewy "Dangmyeon (Korean glass noodles)" essential for Jjimdak, along with hearty vegetables such as onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and tender meat, create a delightful combination of textures. The sauces and ingredients intertwine, making it rich in flavor and enjoyable to eat until the very end without getting tired of it.
Enjoying the "Customization"
"Custom Toppings" to create your own unique bowl. You can customize it to suit your mood, such as adding a "richer flavor" with a soft-boiled egg or cheese, or adding "more texture" with extra dangmyeon or tteokbokki.
Introduction of Popular Menu Items
Korean-style Melty Soft-boiled Egg Beef Galbi Jjim Donburi Set
The strongest combination of spicy beef galbi and soft-boiled egg! One bite fills your mouth with the tenderness of the meat and the mellowness of the egg. This is a satisfying and nutritious menu item all by itself.
