Located at the intersection of Hollywood Road and Peel Street, Jokya Korean Restaurant introduces a new layer of Seoul’s dining culture to Hong Kong’s iconic Central district. The restaurant’s teal exterior, accented by street art murals and brass signage, connects the brand with the city’s creative neighborhood near the Graham Street Wall Mural.
Inside, the space merges traditional Korean motifs—such as lattice doors, curved brass handles, and Hanok-inspired window framing—with modern urban materials like concrete flooring, exposed ducts, and jade-green wall panels.
The central dining spine, flanked by a beer counter finished in emerald fluted tiles, creates a social rhythm across the compact 1,200-sq-ft space.
Jokya’s Hong Kong branch blends heritage, modern comfort, and local adaptation—serving signature dishes like Spicy Radish Leaf Gamjatang and Half-and-Half Jokbal, thoughtfully seasoned for Hong Kong palates.
With its warm lighting, industrial elegance, and modernized Korean detailing, the restaurant captures the essence of “everyday Seoul dining” within Central's cultural rhythm.
