Jokbal & bossam in Hongdae, ranked by what Koreans pay

Local Rank is an independent guide that ranks restaurants in Korea by what Koreans actually spent there by card. This page covers Jokbal & bossam places in Hongdae (홍대), Seoul. University district with live music and late nights. As of 10 November 2026, the top 3 by last month's card spending are Royalhopeu Chicken Hapjeong Branch (로얄호프치킨 합정점, Jokbal & bossam, top 18.8% in Mapo-gu), Mapo Somunnan Jokbal (마포소문난족발, Jokbal & bossam, top 20.3% in Mapo-gu) and Bega Bossam (베가보쌈, Jokbal & bossam, top 23.2% in Mapo-gu). The order comes from BC Card payment data published through eat.pl, so it shows where local cardholders really pay rather than reviews, star ratings or advertising. Big chains are left out. The % is a place's position among all places in Mapo-gu: top 1% means only 1 in 100 took in more. Each place links to its eat.pl page with the map, opening hours and busy times.

How this ranking works

Koreans pay for most meals by card. Local Rank takes the card payment ranking that BC Card publishes through eat.pl and lists restaurants by how much was spent there last month. Nobody can pay to appear, and reviews play no part.

Big chains, cafés and bars are left out of the restaurant lists. Cafés and pubs have lists of their own.

Each place links to its page on eat.pl, which shows the map, opening hours and busy times. That page is in Korean; Chrome and Safari can translate it.
