It's been featured on TV, so I was curious what it would taste like. I visited alone on a weekday for lunch and tried it out myself. ## Where is Geuni Sikdang, and where can you park?

Geuni Sikdang's hanwootangban is rice served already mixed into a broth made from hanwoo 1++ beef, and true to its name, plenty of hanwoo was piled on top of the soup. Since the rice comes already soaked in the broth, there's no need to add a separate bowl of rice — you just start eating with a spoon. Scooping up the rice and meat together, the hanwoo was really tender, and the broth was seasoned just right — it was so good. ![A bowl of hanwootangban with rice already mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-15-xwsea-1200.webp) ![Hanwoo beef piled on top of the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-16-1byd1-900.webp) ![Table setting for Geuni Sikdang's hanwootangban](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-17-5r2wv-900.webp) *Hanwootangban* ### Minari yukhoe half plate: 100g of eye of round Along with the tangban, I ordered a half plate of minari yukhoe, which came with 100g of hanwoo eye of round generously topped with minari (water parsley). The yukhoe (raw beef tartare) was well-seasoned, and the combination with the fragrant, crunchy minari was especially good. ![A plate of yukhoe topped with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-18-jjydo-900.webp) ![한우 우둔살 육회와 미나리](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-19-cqtc4-900.webp) ![Half plate of minari yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-20-1wsah-900.webp) *Yukhoe half plate* ### The side dishes at Geuni Sikdang The basic side dishes included kimchi, pickled vegetables, peppers, and garlic scapes. There weren't many types, but it was enough to go with the hanwootangban and yukhoe. ![Kimchi, pickled vegetables and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo/geuni-sikdang-cheonan-hanwoo-tangban-solo-21-1gndw-900.webp) *Side dishes* ## Self-serve corner and country-of-origin labeling There was a self-serve bar in one corner of the restaurant where you could freely help yourself to more side dishes if you ran out.
