On a weekend evening one family ordered a potato pancake for ₩6,000 and a whole chicken stew for ₩35,000, then worked through a ₩2,000 ramen noodle add-on and ₩2,000 self-cooked fried rice, and the kids claimed all the scorched rice left at the bottom of the pot. Sottture Dakdoritang is an easy choice in Cheonan when the whole family wants to sit around one pot.

A friend's family had gone there recently and showed me a photo — a pot filled to the brim with bright red chicken stew that looked absolutely delicious. That was Sottture Dakdoritang (솥뚜레 닭도리탕), a well-known spot in Seongjeong-dong. So I took the whole family for a weekend dinner there myself.

## Where is Sottture Dakdoritang? Hours and parking in Seongjeong-dong, Cheonan

Sottture Dakdoritang is at 31 Seobu 19-gil, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. It's open 11:00–23:00, with regular holidays for Lunar New Year and Chuseok. Parking is available in the lot behind the building.

The sign alone told me this place was no joke — a big white sign with a handwritten-style logo that catches your eye right away. Colorful chairs were lined up out front. It's popular enough that there can be a wait at lunchtime or during peak hours, so keep that in mind.

## Inside Sottture Dakdoritang and the right order to eat the chicken stew

![Inside view of Sottture Dakdoritang restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-02-1grri-780.webp)

On the wall at Sottture Dakdoritang, there's even a helpful little guide for how to eat the stew properly.

- ① Boil hard on high heat for about 2–3 minutes
- ② Turn down to low heat, then eat the rice cake first, followed by vegetables, wings, breast, and drumstick in that order
- ③ Pick the chicken meat off the bone and dip it generously with the flat mandu into the broth
- ④ And at the end, the fried rice and ramen noodles are a must — the tip was written right there!

You order through a kiosk, and they're running a receipt review event too. Leave a review with a photo and show it to staff, and you get a free side of vegetable kimmari (fried seaweed rolls) and mandu. Worth keeping in mind, haha.

Inside there's a hand-washing station and aprons ready to go. At the self-serve side dish corner you could help yourself to kimchi, pickled onions, sausage stir-fry, and more.

They also offer a ₩5,000 discount for lunch or takeout orders, so keep that in mind. If you're looking for great value in Seongjeong-dong, Cheonan, this place is hard to beat, haha.

## Tonight's table: potato pancake first, then the chicken stew

![The potato pancake served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-15-18jy8-900.webp)

First up was the potato pancake — crispy on the outside, wonderfully chewy inside!

![A golden-brown slice of potato pancake cut off](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-16-160wv-900.webp)

Cutting off a piece of freshly griddled potato pancake and eating it while it's hot is the best, isn't it? The golden-brown edges were crispy and the inside was fluffy — tasty even plain. I still think dipping it lightly in soy sauce is the way to go, haha.

![Chicken stew before boiling, topped with rice cake and quail eggs](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-17-7jyix-900.webp)

And finally! The chicken stew arrived. Before it even started bubbling, you could see rice cake, mushrooms, and cute little quail eggs tucked in among the chicken pieces — fun just to look at. Side dishes came out too: kimchi, salad, pickles, and pickled radish.

The main event, the chicken stew, passed with flying colors the moment it started bubbling — the smell and the look of it alone!

Watching the stew simmer with the seasoning soaking in made me crave a bowl of rice just from looking at it. The chicken had taken on a deep seasoning, the potatoes were cooked to a fluffy softness, and I kept dipping back in for more broth.

Scooping up a drumstick with the ladle, you could tell right away the portions were generous.

### Ramen noodles and self-cooked fried rice to finish the pot

After working through most of the stew, we added ramen noodles to the leftover broth. With all that delicious seasoning from the chicken and potatoes soaked into the broth, adding the ramen noodles made for a whole different treat! The noodles cooked up chewy and soaked up the seasoning so well, my chopsticks just wouldn't stop moving.

![Ramen noodles added to the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-21-ckzqx-900.webp)

And of course, after chicken stew you have to finish with fried rice, right, haha? As the seasoning stuck to the bottom of the pan, a nutty, toasty smell filled the air.

![Scorched rice stuck to the bottom of the self-cooked fried rice pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner/sotdure-dakdoritang-cheonan-weekend-dinner-23-1gour-900.webp)

Honestly, the real highlight of the day! Everyone fought over the scorched rice stuck to the bottom of the pot at the end, and I barely got a single bite myself, ugh. But watching the kids huddle around with their rice bowls made me think — we really came to the right place.
