Two diners ordered the Jeondaegwang budae jjigae for two at 26,000 won and added assorted sausage at 9,900 won and ramen noodles at 2,000 won, and the sausage that kept surfacing with every scoop plus the spicy, clean-tasting broth led to a bottle of soju.

It's about a minute's walk from Seongsu Station Exit 1, on the second floor of a red building. - Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30, last order 20:30 - Sat–Sun 11:00–21:00, last order 20:00 - Parking lot in front of the building available - Takeout available, 20% off for takeout - Group dining, takeout, and delivery available There was one seriously memorable line: "Even if this place goes under, we will never cut back on the sausage." How much sausage do they even put in...? ## Inside Songtan Jindaegwang: a roomy, retro-style dining room It was a budae jjigae place with a real retro feel. ![Interior of the budae jjigae restaurant with retro vibes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-05-18qm5-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior with long tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-06-6okj2-900.webp) There are also a ton of long tables, and the restaurant is big, so it seems like a great spot for group gatherings or a company dinner in Seongsu-dong. ## Self bar with unlimited rice and a free dessert after the meal ![Self-serve bar sign at the budae jjigae restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-07-16t8v-900.webp) At the self-serve bar, rice and side dishes are unlimited, so you can eat as much rice as you want. ![Self-serve bar with unlimited rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-08-1w278-900.webp) ![Self-serve bar with free desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-09-1rp4w-900.webp) And the slushie is free, plus free coffee and yogurt drink... service already passes with flying colors. ### Naver receipt review event at the Seongsu branch Write a Naver photo review and you get to choose one of ramen noodles, alcohol, or a drink. ![Sign for the Naver photo review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-10-mp8s5-900.webp) ![Disposable apron and individually wrapped utensil set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-11-gxx2e-900.webp) The apron is disposable so it's nice and clean, and the utensil set comes individually wrapped in paper, which I liked for the hygiene. ## What two people ordered: army stew for two, sausage and ramen noodles ![Menu board at Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-12-14fqx-900.webp) ![Menu information at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-13-3f7cl-900.webp) ![Budae jjigae and extra menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-14-1lzfs-900.webp) ![Menu and price information at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-15-jtwz9-m-900.webp) ![Menu board at the budae jjigae restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-16-17ap1-900.webp) ![Menu board at Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-17-1100i-900.webp) - Jeondaegwang Budae Jjigae for 2, ₩26,000 - Assorted sausage, ₩9,900 - Ramen noodles, ₩2,000 - Cider, ₩2,000 It's budae jjigae, so ramen noodles are absolutely non-negotiable... I wanted to add Spam too, but it was sold out, so I went with assorted sausage instead. A shame. You set a 5-minute timer and boil it for 5 minutes before eating, I think. The side dishes were fish cake, pickled onion, and green onion salad. The 5 minutes of patience. ## Assorted sausage that keeps turning up with every scoop Adding assorted sausage to the budae jjigae basically turned it into a sausage stew... I really love sausage, but this was so much that I didn't even think about sausage the next day lolllll. Even after stirring it up, there was still so much sausage. If you love the sausage in budae jjigae, Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae seems like a choice you won't regret. ![Budae jjigae with added assorted sausage](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-18-1xiom-900.webp) Wondering how soju suddenly showed up? Yeah... the moment I had a sip of the budae jjigae broth, there was no way I couldn't order soju. It was so spicy and refreshing that one glass, two glasses, three glasses just kept going down smoothly. ![Spicy budae jjigae broth with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-19-1hwdd-900.webp) We each scooped some into our own bowls, and no matter how much we scooped, the sausage just kept coming — half sausage, half broth, ₩9,000 worth of happiness. ![Sausage budae jjigae scooped into a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-20-1gf27-900.webp) ![A bowl of budae jjigae full of sausage](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-21-1ggjx-674.webp) These round little sausages were super tasty. ![Round sausages in the budae jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-22-1tw3e-900.webp) Topped with green onion salad, it was salty-spicy-salty-spicy perfection. Rice refills are unlimited too, so you can mix it into the broth, but we were already full from the sausage alone and didn't even think about a rice refill. They'll add broth and give you a ramen noodle refill too. Ramen noodles with budae jjigae are non-negotiable... absolutely non-negotiable. ![Budae jjigae with added ramen noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-23-1wsck-900.webp) We apparently finished it all between the two of us... so, so full. Next time I don't think we'll need to add extra sausage. The portion is already huge. We also grabbed the complimentary yogurt drink and scooped up a cup of cola-flavored slushie to round off dessert perfectly. When it comes to budae jjigae, it's all about the sausage, and this place packs it in generously enough that you can eat your fill. It's great for lunch or dinner near Seongsu Station, great for group gatherings or company dinners, and honestly even better for a night out drinking. ![A hearty, sausage-packed budae jjigae in Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin-24-d65cz-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae Seongsu Branch (송탄진대광부대찌개 성수점) - 97 Achasan-ro, 201-ho, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 아차산로 97 201호 - 37.5453252, 127.0553136 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%A1%ED%83%84%EC%A7%84%EB%8C%80%EA%B4%91%EB%B6%80%EB%8C%80%EC%B0%8C%EA%B0%9C%20%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98%EC%A0%90/@37.5453252,127.0553136,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-meal-ticket/seongsu-budaejjigae-ramyeon-sotanjin/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
