Arriving in the afternoon just after the 15:00-17:00 break meant no wait, and Macheonchwi's a la carte order of jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) at 8,000 won, jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) at 10,000 won and a mixed mushroom rice bowl at 13,000 won stood out for its 12-hour aged black bean sauce and sharp, clean jjamppong broth. Portions were big enough that there was no room left for sweet and sour pork, so Macheonchwi is best with a full table of people. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 18 Dunsandae-ro 117beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00-17:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 and 20:30 - **Parking**: Geosang Building underground parking lot available - **Seating**: 120+ seats in total, private room for up to 60 people - **Jjajangmyeon**: 8,000 won - **Jjamppong**: 10,000 won - **Mixed mushroom rice bowl**: 13,000 won - **Side dishes**: Pickled radish, cabbage pickles, jjasai (Chinese pickled mustard stem) - **Review event**: 4 fried dumplings free for joining - **Price reference**: ₩8,000 ≈ $5.9 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.4 · ₩13,000 ≈ $9.6 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Visit to Macheonchwi, a Chinese restaurant in Man-nyeon-dong, Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-01-u9a0u-900.webp) Today I visited Macheonchwi, a Daejeon restaurant known for deep, upscale Chinese flavors. It's close to the Daejeon Arts Center and Hanbat Arboretum too, so it's a great spot for a stroll before or after your meal. Let me introduce this Daejeon Chinese restaurant! ![Macheonchwi, a Chinese restaurant near Daejeon Arts Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-02-f0vez-1200.webp) ## Where is Macheonchwi in Man-nyeon-dong, and where do you park?

There's also a private room that can hold up to 60 people. ![Baby chairs available at Macheonchwi](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-12-30368-900.webp) They also had baby chairs available. ### What's at the self-serve bar ![Macheonchwi's neatly maintained self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-13-d1ors-900.webp) Even with a lot of customers, the self-serve bar was kept really clean. ### Side dishes served with every order The basic table setting included pickled radish, cabbage pickles, and jjachai (Chinese pickled mustard). ## What's on the Macheonchwi menu ![Macheonchwi menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-14-1vy6z-900.webp) ![Page showing Macheonchwi's à la carte and course menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-15-1i2hj-900.webp) From set menus to course meals to à la carte dishes, there were so many options (everything looked delicious, honestly hard to choose 😂). Here's what we ordered. - Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles): ₩8,000 - Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup): ₩10,000 - Mixed mushroom rice bowl: ₩13,000 ## Jjajangmyeon, 8,000 won: 12-hour aged black bean sauce Macheonchwi's jjajangmyeon is ₩8,000, and it tastes exactly like old-school jjajangmyeon. Thanks to the 12-hour aged black bean sauce, the sauce was really delicious. ![Macheonchwi jjajangmyeon, ₩8,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-16-1f4vq-676.webp) ![Macheonchwi jjajangmyeon noodles mixed with black bean sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-17-xs65j-900.webp) The noodles were chewy and the sauce soaked in deeply, which I loved. ![A generous bowl of Macheonchwi jjajangmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-18-iy0tn-900.webp) The portion was huge too 👍🏻 I actually wondered for a second if we'd accidentally ordered the large size 🥹 Definitely order the jjajangmyeon! ## Jjamppong, 10,000 won: sharp, clean broth Macheonchwi's jjamppong is ₩10,000. I noticed another table saying Macheonchwi is famous for its jjamppong, so how could we not order it too? Haha. ![Macheonchwi jjamppong, ₩10,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-19-1h7z0-900.webp) The broth is the most important part of jjamppong, and thanks to top-quality fresh ingredients and generous seafood, it wasn't heavy at all — clean, deep, and spicy in a way that really hit the spot! I get why everyone was ordering the jjamppong 🤤 ![Macheonchwi jjamppong broth loaded with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-20-dkyqt-900.webp) ![Lifting up noodles from the jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-21-ws0kk-900.webp) There was a lot of stuff in it too, and the chewy noodles soaked up the broth nicely, which made it even better! (My dad said the broth was so good he even mixed rice into it 😂) ## Mixed mushroom rice bowl, 13,000 won: smoky house sauce The mixed mushroom rice bowl is ₩13,000. It's an upscale rice bowl made by stir-frying various mushrooms and vegetables in Macheonchwi's signature sauce with plenty of wok hei (smoky char). ![Macheonchwi mixed mushroom rice bowl, ₩13,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-22-k6883-900.webp) ![Close-up of mixed mushroom rice bowl stir-fried in signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-23-bmbfa-900.webp) The plump texture of the mushrooms paired really well with the rich signature sauce and rice! It had lots of different mushrooms packed in, which was a nice bonus. If you like mushrooms, you have to try this! I heard the sweet and sour pork here is really good too, but the portions were so big we couldn't fit it in ㅠㅠ If you go to Macheonchwi, make sure to order the sweet and sour pork too! ## Macheonchwi review event: 4 free fried dumplings ![Macheonchwi's review event offering free fried dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice-24-1mpq5-900.webp) They're giving out 4 fried dumplings for participating in the review event, so keep that in mind! ## Is Macheonchwi worth a visit in Daejeon? - From deeply savory jjajangmyeon to spicy jjamppong to fragrant mixed mushroom rice bowl - 120 seats and a private room make it perfect for dates, family gatherings, and group dinners in Daejeon - Great accessibility near Hanbat Arboretum and Daejeon Arts Center 👍🏻 Overall, there were so many distinctive, upscale dishes that set it apart from a typical Chinese restaurant, making it a great choice for a fancy Chinese meal or a family or group gathering. Plus the food was delicious, the portions were huge, the space was spacious, and the interior was pretty — if you're looking for a Daejeon Chinese restaurant, a Daejeon must-visit, or a Man-nyeon-dong restaurant, definitely check out Macheonchwi and its deep 12-hour aged sauce! I'm planning to visit again haha (and take another stroll near Hanbat Arboretum or the Arts Center 👍🏻) ## Where it is - Macheonchwi (마천취) - 18 Dunsandae-ro 117beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 둔산대로117번길 18 1층 마천취 - 36.3656466, 127.3824533 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%B2%9C%EC%B7%A8/@36.3656466,127.3824533,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-dish-rack/machunchui-daejeon-mannyeondong-jjambbong-mushroom-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
