After 20,000 steps around Daereungwon and Cheomseongdae, a mother and daughter warmed up in a room seat with the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew (₩38,000) and rice, loaded with boneless chicken, mushrooms, ginseng and black sesame — so filling that half the rice went uneaten. If you're doing Gyeongju on foot or bringing your parents along and need a restorative meal, the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew at Dongyang Baekban is the answer. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–17:00, last order 20:00) - **Closed**: Closed September 24–25 - **Address**: 1056-5 Poseok-ro, 1st floor, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - **Parking**: Hwangnam Community Culture Center public parking lot (paid) - **Amenities**: Reservations / takeout / high chair / separate men's and women's restrooms - **Sumi Dakbokkeumtang**: ₩28,000 - **Sumi Dakbokkeumtang Set**: ₩43,500 (medium sumi dakbokkeumtang + caviar rice bowl + pollack roe rice bowl + perilla-oil roasted seaweed + Dongyang sikhye) - **Eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew**: ₩38,000 - **Seating**: About 3 rooms, 2 tables per room *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* A deep, rich eunyi mushroom nurungji (scorched rice) chicken stew, tasted in the quiet hanok atmosphere of Gyeongju's Hwangridan-gil ![Eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew at Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-01-1099h-1200.webp) ## Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch: hours and parking - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:00 / break time 15:00–17:00 / last order 20:00 - * Closed September 24–25 - Address: 1056-5 Poseok-ro, 1st floor, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - Parking: Hwangnam Community Culture Center public parking lot (paid) - Amenities and services: reservations / takeout / high chair / separate men's and women's restrooms ![Hanok exterior of Dongyang Baekban on Gyeongju's Hwangridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-02-1gqs1-900.webp) ## Looking for hanok-style Korean food on Hwangridan-gil It had been a while since I visited Gyeongju, and after touring heritage sites like Daereungwon and Cheomseongdae, I really wanted to eat somewhere with that quiet hanok mood! I searched for a hanok-style Korean restaurant on Hwangridan-gil and Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch had the best reviews. ![Entrance of Dongyang Baekban, styled like a small hanok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-03-b6hy4-900.webp) ![View of the hanok courtyard at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-04-ayei1-900.webp) It's not a grand, fancy hanok — more like a small countryside hanok, which made it feel even cozier and more atmospheric! Totally recommend it for a date, too. ![Calm wood-tone interior of Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-05-16xny-900.webp) ![Room seat with two tables at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-06-1k5rl-900.webp) ![Indoor hanok window seating at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-07-qnwmh-900.webp) ![Interior decor of a room at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-08-u42r6-900.webp) ### Two tables per room, like your own little hideout The interior is clean and calm with a wood-tone look, made up of about 3 rooms, and each room only has 2 tables, so it felt like our own private hideout — really nice for a relaxed meal. ![Menu board at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-09-1d9ai-900.webp) ![Sumi Dakbokkeumtang menu description](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-10-k93m4-900.webp) ![Description of the restorative eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-11-mbeyj-900.webp) ![Dongyang Baekban menu and price board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-12-1qs5c-900.webp) ## Menu and prices > << Signature menu >> ✨ Sumi Dakbokkeumtang | ₩28,000 — boneless chicken simmered in a mix of herbal broth and beef bone broth, packed with sumi potatoes and vegetables, for a deep, rich dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken) ✨ Sumi Dakbokkeumtang Set | ₩43,500 — medium sumi dakbokkeumtang + caviar rice bowl + pollack roe rice bowl + perilla-oil roasted seaweed + Dongyang sikhye (sweet rice punch) > << Restorative food >> ✨ Eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew | ₩38,000 — boneless chicken stew simmered richly with eunyi mushrooms, golden enoki mushrooms, ginseng, black sesame and nurungji (scorched rice), made for restoring your energy My mom and I were exhausted from walking all day, so we figured we'd order the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew plus a bowl of rice to get some strength back. ![Banchan and rice served at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-13-1lno5-900.webp) ### Banchan and rice They brought out the banchan (side dishes) and rice first. Nice touch — they even give you an extra bowl and seaweed flakes so you can mix up your own bibimbap with the rice 🥰 ![Bibimbap bowl and seaweed flakes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-14-zi8cp-900.webp) There's sesame oil and cheongyang chili peppers next to the kiosk, so you can add them to taste! ![Self-serve sesame oil and cheongyang chili peppers by the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-15-27wtt-900.webp) I dumped in all the banchan and mixed it up — the visual looked a bit plain, right? But every side dish was well made and perfectly seasoned, so it was really delicious!! ## Eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew, ₩38,000 After a short wait, the main dish arrived. Here's the full table setting ~! ![Full table setting of the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-16-17pa9-900.webp) You can just barely see the eunyi mushrooms and golden enoki mushrooms poking out, but that's really the tip of the iceberg — there's a ton of mushrooms packed inside plus ginseng, and just looking at it made me feel energized!! It comes pre-cooked, so all you have to do is bring it to a boil ㅎ_ㅎ ![Mushrooms and ginseng in the pot before boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-17-v80bg-900.webp) Once it started boiling hard, the black sesame and nurungji rose up from inside and the whole thing looked absolutely insane,,,🫢 ![Boiling chicken stew with black sesame and nurungji risen to the top](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-18-1nmj6-900.webp) Since it's a chicken stew, there's chicken in there too, and it's boneless for easy eating! There was also a ton of chicken ㅜㅠㅠㅠ ![Boneless chicken inside the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-19-1s3po-900.webp) The eunyi mushrooms are cut into easy-to-eat pieces ![Eunyi mushrooms cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-20-uczya-900.webp) Scoop it onto your own plate and dig in properly! ![Nurungji porridge and chicken served on an individual plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-21-1iynw-900.webp) ### 20,000 steps, then restorative food — how did it taste? Can you tell how tender the chicken is just from the photo..? The nutty nurungji porridge and the light, clean chicken go together so well it just slides right down. Eunyi mushrooms, golden enoki mushrooms, ginseng, black sesame, garlic — basically everything good for you is thrown in, making it restorative food in the truest sense 🔥 We'd walked almost 20,000 steps that day getting around without a car and were exhausted, but eating this made my body warm up and I genuinely felt strength coming back. If you're traveling on foot or bringing your parents along, I highly recommend this dish ✨ ![Nearly empty pot of chicken stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot-22-10s41-900.webp) We cleared everything except half the rice — after the nurungji chicken stew, we were so full there was no way we could finish the rice,, 🫠 That's how generous the portion was, and how good the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew was. Properly restored haha If you're looking for solid Korean food and a restorative meal in the quiet hanok atmosphere of Gyeongju's Hwangridan-gil, I highly recommend Dongyang Baekban, especially the eunyi mushroom nurungji chicken stew ~! ## Where it is - Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch (동양백반 경주황리단길 본점) - 1056-5 Poseok-ro, 1st floor, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 포석로 1056-5 1층 동양백반 - 35.8352993, 129.2100529 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EC%96%91%EB%B0%B1%EB%B0%98%20%EA%B2%BD%EC%A3%BC%ED%99%A9%EB%A6%AC%EB%8B%A8%EA%B8%B8%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8352993,129.2100529,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-ceramic-cup/gyeongju-hwangnidan-hanok-chicken-hotpot/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
