Cheongju braised ribs dinner for four under ₩50,000: Hongdeung Sikdang
Hongdeung Sikdang 1997 is a braised pork ribs and galbitang (beef rib soup) restaurant on Sattum-ro in Yulryang-dong, Cheongju. On a weekend evening, four diners — including a daughter's friend — ordered the galbitang for five, the spicy braised pork ribs and a fried rice finish, and the bill still came to under ₩50,000, with a complimentary mukbap (buckwheat jelly in cold broth) and steamed egg cooling the spice. Hongdeung Sikdang 1997 is worth remembering for a budget-friendly family meal of braised ribs in Cheongju.
