Cheonan jjukkumi restaurant with easy parking: Bulnaneun Jjukkumi

I don't think I eat jjukkumi (spicy stir-fried webfoot octopus) that often, but if I'm going to eat it, I end up bringing whoever I'm with here no matter what haha. That's right... Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Main Branch!!

Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Main Branch

This is Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Main Branch, located in Baekseok-dong! I come so often I feel like I could drive here with my eyes closed by now haha.

Why I keep going back to Bulnaneun Jjukkumi in Baekseok-dong, Cheonan

Setting everything else aside, the thing I liked most was the parking.

There's a spacious parking area right in front of the restaurant, so parking was never an issue. Usually when I'm meeting friends or bringing my parents, we come in more than one car, right? Everyone said parking was easy here haha. That alone was already a huge plus for me.

The restaurant itself is also really clean and tidy, good for groups and also great for dropping by for a quick jjukkumi fix!! There's a self-serve bar too, so you can freely scoop out as many side dishes as you like — you can really tell they thought about making things comfortable for guests haha.

Ordering the Best Set: jjukkumi, pot rice and shrimp tempura

Whenever I come here, I always order the Best Set. It comes with jjukkumi + pot rice + shrimp tempura! I sit down and immediately punch it into the tablet at the table without even thinking twice haha. Then the side dishes get set up neatly like this!! A cool cucumber cold soup and all the fixings for bibimbap come out just like that!! From there, you just grab whatever else you want from the self-serve bar — such a clean, simple routine!!! haha

First, they neatly set the ingredients into this big bowl — the bibimbap bowl — and let it wait. I personally like to cut things a bit smaller with scissors haha.

And then the pot rice, jjukkumi, and shrimp tempura finally show up!!!!

The jjukkumi already has that smoky char smell, and the shrimp tempura, looking freshly fried and golden brown, has a smell and color that make you drool — no, actually drool. Is it just me? Surely not? haha

I immediately dump the pot rice into the bibimbap bowl, then fill the empty hot pot with water to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea). Is it more like nurungji (crispy rice)? Anyway, the portion already feels really generous. This gets saved for after the bibimbap — a nice clean finish, and I think this sungnyung/nurungji thing also helps with digestion, so you end up full and settled haha.

Mild-spice jjukkumi and the shrimp tempura bibimbap trick

The plump, chunky jjukkumi already look delicious haha. We ordered the mild spice level here, but this is a spicy-food specialist — Cheonan's go-to spot for spicy food — so if you go for the spicy level, you'll really understand what 'deliciously spicy' means.

The smoky char flavor really comes through too, and combined with the spice and umami it's the best...

Here's my tip... when I mix the bibimbap, I mix in the shrimp tempura too haha. This is genuinely amazing. Golden shrimp tempura meeting the best jjukkumi sauce — I really can't describe it in words. If you come here, you have to try it!!!! It's seriously that good...

Mixing it up like this just makes you drool nonstop. This is real, proper mixing — making sure the sauce coats everything evenly and the shrimp tempura gets fully incorporated too.

Once it's all mixed, time for a bite. Ugh.....

The plump jjukkumi is out-of-this-world good... This alone made my whole week.

And the shrimp tempura is next level, honestly. You really have to try it mixed in like this. If you come and love it, leave a comment for sure. This is a spicy-food specialist, Cheonan's go-to spot for spicy food — Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Main Branch — and I want to put my name on this new menu recommendation haha.

After finishing everything, drinking the sungnyung properly at the end soothes your stomach after all that smoky char flavor and shrimp tempura, leaving you full and satisfied with a clean finish... This was Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Main Branch, which was so delicious that I'd actually been here just last week too. If you're looking for a jjukkumi restaurant in Cheonan, you have to come here!!!!!
