Grilled tilefish and hairtail stew set in Cheongju: Jeju Badang
Jeju Badang is a Korean fish restaurant near Gagyeong Xi and Gagyeong IPark apartments in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju, known for grilled fish and braised hairtail. The writer ordered the grilled tilefish and boneless hairtail stew set for two, paired with pot rice, mostly-namul (seasoned vegetable) side dishes, and a self-serve bar with japchae, chicken and kimchi, finishing with hot sungnyung (scorched rice tea). With a kids' room and building parking, it's a solid pick for a family meal with kids or parents.
