This is a popular spot, so brace yourself for waiting at peak times~~ ![Inner room space for group meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-12-nvny9-900.webp) There's also a room space in the back, so group meals are possible~~~! ![Self-serve side dish bar corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-13-tasfq-900.webp) ![Self-serve corner for free-refill rice and ramen sari](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-14-1q860-900.webp) ![Side dish containers set out at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-15-hwden-900.webp) Another perk of Cheongwon Restaurant! Ramen noodle sari and rice are free refills :) You can grab side dishes from the self-serve bar too, along with rice and ramen sari :) ## What's the difference between Cheongwon budae-jjigae and Songtan budae-jjigae? ![Menu board listing Cheongwon budae-jjigae and Songtan budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-16-15mfl-900.webp) There are two signature budae-jjigae options on the menu! Cheongwon budae-jjigae and Songtan budae-jjigae. Cheongwon budae-jjigae is the Songtan-base stew with beef belly and cheongyang chili added for a spicy kick! Songtan budae-jjigae sticks to the classic Songtan-style basics :) After some deliberation, we ordered the Songtan budae-jjigae for two plus a beef belly sari add-on! ![Sign for the budae-jjigae takeout discount](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-17-16gxx-900.webp) There's also a takeout discount on the budae-jjigae ![Notice about the use of two-plus grade Korean beef ground meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-18-1f1qd-900.webp) They use two-plus grade Korean beef ground meat, so it's a trustworthy spot for the quality of the meat :) ![Sign for the free egg roll review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-19-1fa5t-900.webp) There's also a review event running, so it might be worth joining for a free egg roll! ## The taste of Songtan budae-jjigae with added beef belly sari ![Basic side dishes including kimchi and seasoned bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-20-19j5d-900.webp) First, the side dishes! You get kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, and stir-fried fish cake. ![Sweet stir-fried fish cake side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-21-woeoc-900.webp) This stir-fried fish cake is sweet and delicious — total rice thief :) ![Songtan budae-jjigae served in a large pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-22-23cxi-900.webp) After a short wait, the budae-jjigae comes out in a big pot! Don't open it before it boils — wait, and the staff will open and stir it for you. Ta-da~~ the pot is packed full of ingredients, so it looks completely hearty right off the bat!! With ham, sausage, and ground meat all in there, plus the added beef belly sari, the amount of meat is definitely generous haha And budae-jjigae really does get better the longer it simmers :) As the salty flavor from the ham and sausage mixes with the ground meat, the broth itself feels rich and savory! ![Budae-jjigae boiling with beef belly sari added](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-23-1nfc1-900.webp) ![A bowl of budae-jjigae scooped up with broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-weekend-lunch-24-17x00-900.webp) Take a spoonful of rice with the broth and it just slides right in. The broth has that distinctive salty, deep umami that pairs perfectly with rice! And I should mention we were too full to even try the ramen noodle sari..... ## To sum up With free refills on rice and ramen sari, if you visit hungry, you can really leave stuffed! If you're looking for a solid Korean meal in Dujeong-dong or a budae-jjigae favorite in Cheonan, head to Cheongwon Restaurant~~!
