Ojakgyo 오작교

Ojakgyo is a Korean restaurant inside Jeongok Traditional Market at 460-29 Jeongok-ri, Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province. It has served market merchants and local residents as an informal neighborhood dining room for many years. The main dishes are stir-fried pork in a spicy and mildly sweet seasoning and sundae soup with a clear, deep broth. The pork emphasizes a restrained heat and a familiar home-style sweetness rather than an intensely spicy sauce. Neatly prepared seasonal side dishes accompany the meals, and additional portions can be collected from a self-service station. A single person often manages the kitchen, so a cluster of orders may increase the preparation time. The small market dining room has a familiar, modest atmosphere and may fill up around lunch. There is no private parking lot. Drivers need to use a public parking area near Jeongok Traditional Market. The restaurant may close earlier than planned when the day's ingredients are depleted. Anyone arriving in the evening should telephone ahead to confirm that service and ingredients remain available. Two focused main dishes, seasonal accompaniments, the self-service station, and small-scale market operation define the restaurant.
