We ordered the 2-person cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae for 30,000 won and an egg roll for 10,000 won for a weekday lunch. Verdict: Jeonju House is a filling pick for an office-worker lunch. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: 2-person cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae and egg roll - **Cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae**: ₩30,000 for 2 people - **Egg roll**: ₩10,000 - **Parking**: No dedicated parking; park on the main road around the building - **Location**: Near Yuseong Oncheon Station, beside Gyeryong Spatel - **Tofu**: Available at the self-service bar *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Jeonju House galbi kimchi jjigae and pot rice lunch spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-01-lupjj-900.webp) Today, I had lunch at Jeonju House, a great spot in Bongmyeong-dong, Daejeon for pot rice and galbi kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew with beef short ribs). The meat is delicious, of course, but the galbi kimchi jjigae served with a huge pot of rice and the giant egg roll are seriously good too, so I definitely recommend dropping by for lunch. Even when I arrived around 11:30 on a weekday, more than half the seats were taken—and after noon, it was absolutely bustling. A genuine neighborhood favorite, confirmed. ## Jeonju House parking and accessibility There is no dedicated parking lot, so you will need to park on the main road around the building. It is beside Gyeryong Spatel near Yuseong Oncheon Station, though, so it is fairly easy to get to. ## How is the dining room divided? ![Jeonju House interior seating area for meat meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-02-4mlhl-900.webp) ![Jeonju House interior seating area for stew meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-03-16p1h-900.webp) The interior is divided into a left and right side. One side had more of a meat-grilling atmosphere, while the other felt geared toward stew meals. ## Ordering cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae and egg roll ![Jeonju House menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-04-1ptw5-900.webp) The menu runs from its signature fresh pork belly on a cast-iron lid to cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae and kimchi hot pot. Since there were two of us, we ordered the cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae and an egg roll. - 2-person cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae ₩30,000 - Egg roll ₩10,000 ## From side dishes to pot rice ![Single-use water cup service](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-05-j0r3v-900.webp) One interesting thing: they served water in single-use cups like the kind you might get on an airplane. If you ask for more water, they bring over a bottle for you to pour yourself. ![Side dishes before the galbi kimchi jjigae meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-06-1g2xx-900.webp) The banchan (Korean side dishes) included salty seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned chives, seasoned seaweed stems, dongchimi (water kimchi), and salad. ![Seasoned bean sprout and chive side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-07-1j4rj-900.webp) ![Seasoned seaweed stem side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-08-19ubx-900.webp) ![Dongchimi and salad side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-09-lf97j-900.webp) ![Jeonju House side dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-10-ufrr0-900.webp) As you would expect from a Bongmyeong-dong favorite, every side dish was tasty and fresh. The seasoned bean sprouts in particular were really delicious. ![Galbi kimchi jjigae and a large pot of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-11-1i8z2-900.webp) Since this is the kind of Bongmyeong-dong lunch place where speed matters for office workers, the main galbi kimchi jjigae and pot rice arrived quickly. The pot of rice was seriously big, so it already looked wonderfully filling. ![Cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae and pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-12-1r9je-900.webp) ![Pot rice served for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-13-egefu-900.webp) First, pour in hot water to make fragrant nurungji (toasted rice crust). ![Pot rice with hot water added for nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-14-1prr8-900.webp) ## How long should you boil the galbi kimchi jjigae? The main cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae arrives fully cooked, so you only need to let it boil for about 1–2 minutes. ![Cast-iron-pot galbi kimchi jjigae simmering at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-15-vgnqm-900.webp) It comes cooked already, but the longer it boils, the richer the broth gets—and the better it tastes. ![Galbi kimchi jjigae broth becoming richer](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-16-u0ze1-900.webp) ![Kimchi jjigae topped with beef short ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-17-ih9lj-674.webp) ![Galbi kimchi jjigae filled with generous pieces of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-18-k6c2o-900.webp) It was piled high with big pieces of meat, and it was so good. The portion was also really generous—enough to leave even an adult man completely full. ![Traditional earthenware jars outside Jeonju House](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-19-u20pf-900.webp) There were so many onggi (traditional Korean earthenware jars) outside, and the kimchi tasted incredible too. ![Tofu available at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-20-12njm-900.webp) The tofu is at the self-service bar, so just bring back as much as you want. ![A generously sized egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-21-87o0q-900.webp) ## The genuinely huge egg roll and the finish The egg roll was quite substantial too. It might look small in the photos, but it is really huge in person. ![Egg roll served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-22-1t8lb-900.webp) ![A plate of large egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-23-196pw-900.webp) As we were nearly done, we added ramyeon noodles and let them cook in the stew too. ![Ramyeon noodles added to and cooked in kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house-24-riw8k-900.webp) After finishing every last bit of the nurungji too, we headed out feeling happy. ## Why I recommend it for an office-worker lunch - The pot rice portion is large - The egg roll is genuinely huge - There is plenty of meat - There was not really anything I would not recommend ## Where it is - Jeonju House (전주하우스) - 36 Oncheon-ro 101beon-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 유성구 온천로101번길 36 1층 - 36.3560968, 127.3495608 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%84%EC%A3%BC%ED%95%98%EC%9A%B0%EC%8A%A4/@36.3560968,127.3495608,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-tablecloth/daejeon-bongmyeong-sotbap-lunch-jeonju-house/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
