Oh-jju 오쭈 is a restaurant chain in Korea that specializes in spicy marinated baby octopus that is cooked tabletop. You can choose to order the marinated baby octopus just as is, or with a choice of pork belly, marinated chicken, or both pork and chicken.
We ordered the marinated baby octopus with pork belly and a side of cheese fondue, which used as a dip for the octopus. At first, the idea of mixing marinated octopus and pork with cheese fondue seemed weird, but after seeing how everyone in the restaurant was eating it like that we decided to try it out.

Our waiter was cooking the octopus for us, checking back every few minutes.
After everything was almost cooked, the waiter added noodles and soybean sprouts. The baby octopus was tender and flavourful, and the marinade was very spicy and delicious. Kevin loved it!
The waiter told us that the cheese fondue helps to balance out the spiciness of the octopus. The fondue was served in a small pot over a flame to heat up the cheese. This turned out to be very delicious with the octopus and it really did help to tone down the spiciness.
They gave us these sides to eat with our meal. The perilla leaves and lettuce were used as wraps for the octopus and pork.
We really enjoyed our dining experience at Oh-jju and Kevin considers this as his best meal in Korea. The service was great and we liked how we didn't have to cook anything ourselves. I would recommend this restaurant to those who love spicy food and delicious baby octopus.
