Visiting with a child, the writer ordered a set menu that started with pre-meal bread, homemade corn soup and salad, then a steak cream ragu pasta made with a self-chosen fresh noodle and a chuck flap (buchaesal) steak. With high chairs and six fresh noodles to pick from, Plate made an easy family meal out in Daejeon. ## Good to know - **Address**: 30 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daejeon - **Location**: 342 m from Jungangno Station Exit 6 - **Hours**: 11:00-21:30 - **Closed**: Open daily - **Features**: Takeout and delivery, high chairs - **Parking**: Nearby public parking lot - **Reservations**: Available on Catch Table - **Fresh noodle types**: 6 kinds: spaghetti, spinach spaghetti, squid ink spaghetti, tagliatelle, pappardelle and pici - **Noodle swap**: Can be changed to dried noodles (linguine, penne, fusilli and more) or risotto *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* Today I want to introduce a restaurant that our whole family fell completely in love with after visiting with our kid a while back. Eating out with a child always means thinking carefully not just about the food, but also the atmosphere and whether there's something the kid will actually enjoy eating. This time we went to 'Plate,' a fresh pasta restaurant full of atmosphere in Sunhwa-dong, Jung-gu, Daejeon. ![Signature photo of Plate, a fresh pasta restaurant in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-01-cxbph-1200.webp) I looked this place up for our kid, who usually loves Western food, and what made it especially exciting was that they make fresh pasta noodles in-house rather than using store-bought dried ones. We went in with high expectations. ## Where is Plate in Sunhwa-dong, and its hours and parking Plate Sunhwa branch is located at 30 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daejeon, 342m from Exit 6 of Jungangno Station. It's open 11:00–21:30 with no closed days, offers takeout/delivery and a baby chair, and parking is available at a nearby public lot. Reservations are also possible through Catch Table. It's very accessible, being close to Jungangno Station, Daejeon Jungbu Police Station, and Daejeoncheon Stream. It sits in the charming alley of Sunhwa-dong's restaurant street, so even the walk in, hand in hand with our kid, put us in a good mood. ![Exterior of Plate, located in a Sunhwa-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-02-1f2a5-900.webp) ![Entrance of Plate Sunhwa branch decorated with lights](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-03-1jlq8-900.webp) ## What is the dining room at Plate like? The entrance greets you with sparkling, pretty light decorations, and our kid was grinning nonstop even before stepping inside. Walking in, the quiet wine rack and the elegant, clean wood-toned interior immediately caught my eye. ![Interior of Plate with wine rack and wood-toned decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-04-10cag-900.webp) Thanks to the warm, cozy atmosphere, it's not only great for family meals but also feels like it wouldn't be out of place as a date spot for couples. ![Cozy dining hall seating at Plate Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-05-noyvx-900.webp) ![Table seating at Plate suitable for family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-06-5opo-900.webp) ![Interior decor details at Plate Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-07-upvg7-900.webp) ![Warmly lit interior view of Plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-08-1l8j8-900.webp) ## How the menu works: choosing your own fresh noodle One of Plate's biggest strengths is that when you order pasta, you can pick the noodle type yourself to suit your kid's taste or preference. ![Plate's pasta menu with noodle selection guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-09-b93c1-900.webp) ![Plate's menu showing six choices of fresh noodle](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-10-1y7vv-900.webp) It was surprising that there are as many as six kinds of fresh noodles prepared: spaghetti, spinach spaghetti, squid ink spaghetti, tagliatelle, pappardelle, and pici. Looking at the noodle samples and deciding together with our kid which one to try was a small pleasure in itself. You can also switch to dried noodles (linguine, penne, fusilli, etc.) or risotto. ![Fresh noodle samples and dried noodle swap options at Plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-11-176t6-900.webp) ![Menu page listing Plate's set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-12-bekzo-900.webp) ### Set menu pre-meal bread and homemade corn soup We ordered the well-priced set menu. Before the main course arrived, we were served pre-meal bread, a savory and smooth homemade corn soup, and a fresh-tasting salad, all of which made a strong impression. ![Pre-meal bread and homemade corn soup from Plate's set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-13-15ui2-900.webp) ![Salad and soup included in Plate's set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-14-ctq9d-900.webp) The sweet corn soup, which glided smoothly across the palate, was especially a hit with our kid — it disappeared in no time, spoonful after spoonful. ## Steak cream ragu pasta at Plate ![A plate of Plate's steak cream ragù pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-15-mqfrk-900.webp) ![Fresh cream ragù pasta topped with steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-16-4tap1-900.webp) The cream ragù pasta, made with the fresh noodle we picked ourselves, was overwhelming just to look at. It came generously topped with big chunks of golden-seared steak, drawing an audible gasp from us. ![Ragù pasta combined with cream sauce and onion chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-17-1vyxi-900.webp) The moment we took a bite, the rich, savory depth of the cream sauce enveloped the whole mouth. Being fresh noodle clearly made a world of difference compared to dried, store-bought pasta. ![Fork lifting a bite of Plate's fresh pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-18-9v8qu-900.webp) The outside was chewy while the inside stayed soft, so it was easy for our kid to eat without any trouble. On top of that, the crispy fried onion chips, the salty savoriness of the cheese, and the tender, clean-tasting meat all came together, and the umami kept building right up to the last bite. ## Chuck flap (buchaesal) steak ![Plating of Plate's fanchal steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-19-1phfn-900.webp) The moment the steak arrived, its savory aroma hit us instantly. It was cooked perfectly, soft enough for the knife to glide right through, and once in the mouth, juicy meat juices burst out. ![Cross-section of the sliced fanchal steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-20-1jv8u-900.webp) ![Fanchal steak served with whole grain mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-21-1fezg-900.webp) Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, once I cut it into bite-sized pieces for our kid, they kept shouting 'Delicious!' while eating it up. A small dab of whole grain mustard gave it a refined flavor that also suited us adults perfectly. ## Potato gnocchi to try on the next visit Looking at the menu, I noticed Plate is also famous for signature potato gnocchi dishes like the truffle bacon cream gnocchi and the cheongyang chili vongole cream gnocchi. ![Menu page listing Plate's potato gnocchi options](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-22-leigc-900.webp) Catching a whiff of the savory, chewy aroma from the gnocchi served at the next table, I've decided I definitely have to order this potato gnocchi menu the next time we visit with our kid haha. ## Is Plate worth it with a child? Between the high-quality fresh pasta kneaded in-house, the fanchal steak that melted softly in the mouth, and a warm space where you can eat out comfortably and happily with a kid, everything about this place was perfect. It also makes a great date spot for couples, and works just as well as a stylish pasta spot for kids, family, or friends 😋 ![Table at Plate Sunhwa branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-23-9hewk-900.webp) ![Closing shot of Plate Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate-24-1qa2u-900.webp) If you're in Daejeon and want to enjoy great Western food with your kid, or want to make a special occasion memorable, I highly recommend stopping by 'Plate' in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon! ## Where it is - Plate (플레이트) - 30 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 중구 중앙로121번길 30 1층 - 36.3291621, 127.4228691 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%8C%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8/@36.3291621,127.4228691,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-side-burner/daejeon-seonhwadong-fresh-pasta-family-plate/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
