Cheongju date lunch with a pork cutlet cheese roll: Oneul Haru

Oneul Haru is a Korean stone-pot rice restaurant in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju, near Connect Hyundai and the intercity bus terminal. For a date lunch, two of us ordered gochujang bulgogi gondre stone-pot rice at 15,000 won and a handmade pork cutlet cheese roll at 13,000 won, with unlimited self-serve bar tteokbokki plus eggplant and king oyster mushroom fritters, then poured water into the pot for sungnyung (scorched rice tea) at the end. With partitioned seating and one hour of underground parking covered, Oneul Haru is an easy recommendation for lunch in Gagyeong-dong.

Cheongju Korean lunch special for fish beginners: Jeju Badang

Jeju Badang is a Korean fish restaurant on the second floor of a building on Seohyeonnam-ro in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju. For a couple's lunch the writer and her boyfriend ordered the grilled mackerel set with pot rice and the Jeju boneless hairtail stew with pot rice from the tablet at the table, along with namul side dishes and chicken and japchae from the self-serve bar. Even for someone new to fish dishes there was no fishy taste, making Jeju Badang an easy choice for a family meal out in Cheongju.
