This visit ordered the regular hanwoo mulhoe (raw beef and vegetable cold soup) and a medium-size Eunibeoseot Heuk-nurungji chicken stew, pairing cool raw beef soup with a bone-free chicken hot pot spicy enough to sweat out summer but mild enough for babies at the next table over. There's no parking lot, but between the hanok rooms and boneless chicken, it's an easy pick for a date or a family meal with a little one. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 1056-5 Poseok-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - **Parking**: No dedicated lot / nearest is Hwangnam Culture Center public lot (₩500 per 30 min, ₩200 per additional 10 min, ₩10,000 daily max) - **Hours**: 11:00 – 21:00 - **Regular hanwoo mulhoe**: ₩12,000 (comes in regular/large sizes, listed with rice included) - **Medium Eunibeoseot nurungji chicken stew**: ₩38,000 - **Rice options**: Egg rice, pollock roe rice, cheongyang pepper rice, gamtae (seaweed) rice, gondre rice - **Seating**: Hanok structure, 3 rooms / mix of 4-person and 2-person tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* Hwangridan-gil is always packed with people visiting Gyeongju — weekends, sure, but even weekdays are buzzing. For me, travel = restaurant hunting, so food is a core part of any trip I plan around. Especially in Gyeongju, I go in with a firm mindset of hitting up the best Korean restaurants no matter what, so I checked out Dongyang Baekban. It's a hanok-style spot serving all kinds of fusion Korean dishes, and they even have a chicken stew that seemed perfect for feeding a baby some porridge-like bites! It's popular with everyone from couples on a Hwangridan-gil date to families, so today I'm introducing it! ## Location and parking — an alley at the far end of Hwangridan-gil - 📍 Location: 1F, 1056-5 Poseok-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 🚗 Parking: None - ⏰ Hours: 11:00 – 21:00 ![Exterior of Dongyang Baekban tucked in a Hwangridan-gil alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-01-1sp5i-966.webp) Dongyang Baekban, a great spot to bring a baby on Hwangridan-gil, sits in an alley at the far end of the street. There's no dedicated parking lot, but the closest option is the Hwangnam Culture Center public lot — ₩500 for the first 30 minutes, ₩200 per additional 10 minutes, capped at ₩10,000 a day. ![Dongyang Baekban's sign mounted above a staircase](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-02-1jlhp-966.webp) The sign is mounted up above a staircase like this, which gives the place a distinctive vibe. ## Three hanok rooms — what's the inside like? ![Hanok-style entrance and courtyard of Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-03-1yt3p-966.webp) As I remember it, the hanok (traditional Korean house) structure has three main rooms. Pretty fitting decor for a Gyeongju Korean restaurant, right? ![Hanok room interior with a mix of 4-person and 2-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-04-12m3z-966.webp) Once you're inside, there's a mix of 4-person and 2-person tables. The day we visited, the air conditioning in one of the rooms was broken. I thought a sign letting people know would've been a nice touch. ![Dongyang Baekban room with a lush green view](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-05-zyukq-966.webp) This room had a really nice green view — such a shame about the AC though. ![Another room with cool air conditioning seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-06-1adfc-966.webp) We moved to a different room and the AC was blasting! Super cool. ![Two-person table seating at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-07-1golv-966.webp) The 4-person tables were all full so we grabbed a 2-person spot. There were actually more tables around, but the other diners were sitting so close I couldn't fit them all in the photos. ## Choosing the menu — from egg rice to chicken stew What matters most on a Hwangridan-gil dinner date is the menu, right?! Even the rice wasn't just plain rice — there was egg rice, pollock roe rice, cheongyang pepper rice, gamtae rice, gondre rice, all kinds of options. If you're coming with slightly older kids, egg rice seems to be the popular order. For anyone bringing a baby, I'd recommend what I ordered — the Eunibeoseot Heuk-nurungji chicken stew! We'd been walking around in the blazing sun for so long that we also wanted something cool, so we ordered the regular hanwoo mulhoe too. ### Side dishes ![Basic side dishes: kkakdugi, seasoned bean sprouts, garlic scapes, braised soybeans](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-08-ytn25-966.webp) Once we ordered, the banchan (side dishes) came out right away: kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), seasoned bean sprouts, garlic scapes, and braised soybeans. It had that homemade feeling, like a meal my mom used to set out when I was a kid — I loved it. ## Regular hanwoo mulhoe, ₩12,000 ![A bowl of regular hanwoo mulhoe at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-09-u1hq9-966.webp) Even with a baby along in Gyeongju's Hwangridan-gil, you can't give up on something cool!!! Here comes the regular hanwoo mulhoe. There are two sizes, regular and large. Writing this post now, I noticed the menu says rice is included — but we never got any... T_T ![Round slices of hanwoo beef arranged on the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-10-2lhld-966.webp) Still think Gyeongju Korean food means only hanjeongsik (traditional set meals)? Congrats, you're old-fashioned lol. These days there are all sorts of inventive menus. The round slices of hanwoo (Korean beef) on top had genuinely great texture — good chew, nutty and savory. ![Salty soft-boiled egg halves on top of the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-11-1ov01-966.webp) Interestingly, there were also two soft-boiled egg halves seasoned with a salty kick. Total rice thief. We joked that this must be the same egg that comes with the egg rice. ![Sesame-oil scented yukhoe mulhoe with raw beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-12-et6cg-966.webp) If you're at Dongyang Baekban for a summer Hwangridan-gil date, try the yukhoe mulhoe (raw beef mulhoe) with its rich sesame oil aroma as a specialty. The vegetables were fresh and the broth was so cool it blew the heat right away. ## Medium Eunibeoseot nurungji chicken stew, ₩38,000 ![Medium-size Eunibeoseot heuk-nurungji chicken stew set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-13-10lws-1200.webp) Main dish time!!!!! Eunibeoseot mushroom? Never heard of it. Black nurungji (scorched rice) chicken stew? Never heard of that either. Something new? Then it's an automatic order!! <- That's how we ended up ordering this. And honestly, in summer you've got to fight heat with heat and eat something piping hot too~~ ![Large golden enoki mushrooms in the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-14-1ube6-m-966.webp) This is golden enoki mushroom. It comes in big clumps, so cut it into bite-sized pieces as you go~~ ![Close-up of Eunibeoseot, also known as white wood ear mushroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-15-l09xu-966.webp) Looking it up while writing this post, turns out Eunibeoseot = white wood ear mushroom (huinmogi-beoseot). While eating I kept saying it tasted just like wood ear mushroom — turns out I was right lol. ![The chicken stew pot bubbling away](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-16-29p2l-966.webp) ### Why it's great with a baby — boneless chicken The reason Dongyang Baekban, a Gyeongju Korean restaurant, is great to bring a baby to!! The chicken in the stew is boneless!!!!! No bones meant it was really easy to eat, and I never once had a stray bone fragment the whole meal. ![Boneless chicken pieces from the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-17-9vz7e-966.webp) The broth is dark black in color but not seasoned too strongly, which seemed perfect for feeding kids~~ ![The dark black broth of the chicken stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-18-1bv3u-966.webp) At the bottom there's a layer of nurungji, so you need to boil it hard for a while to soften it up. ![Nurungji layered at the bottom of the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-19-10gdm-966.webp) Make sure to cut up the ginseng root pieces too — that's the flavor of health right there. There was another table next to us with a baby too, out on Hwangridan-gil. Such a cute, calm baby lol. ![Ginseng root pieces inside the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-20-1odmu-966.webp) Scoop the nurungji, chicken, and various mushrooms into your own bowl to eat~~ ![A personal bowl with nurungji, chicken, and mushrooms scooped out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-21-1yuh0-966.webp) I thought it would've been nice to have some kind of dipping sauce! But as it simmers down and reduces, the seasoning gets a bit stronger, and pairing it with kkakdugi balances it out perfectly!! Mild enough that it's great for eating with babies - ## Overall verdict ![A full table spread with the chicken stew and mulhoe at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot-22-12wgz-966.webp) Dongyang Baekban is a great pick for a Hwangridan-gil dinner date with a baby! The Eunibeoseot Heuk-nurungji chicken stew — loaded with various mushrooms, ginseng, boneless chicken, black sesame, and nurungji, all simmered together — works no matter who you're eating it with or when!! In summer, after sweating buckets, it's great for restoring energy, and in winter, spooning up that hot broth would be perfect for warming up. If you come with older adults, they'd probably say this is exactly what a healthy table looks like, and since the chicken is boneless it's also easy for kids to eat, with the nurungji doubling as rice — I think this is a place that can satisfy everyone. ## Where it is - Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch (동양백반 경주황리단길 본점) - 1F, 1056-5 Poseok-ro, Gyeongju, 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-wooden-menu/gyeongju-hwangnidan-baby-friendly-korean-hotpot/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
