# Draft beer and gochu dakbokkeum at Yesan Market: Sijang Dakbokkeum - By Dawon (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-doorway-bites/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yesan, Chungnam - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a complimentary visit and meal from the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-doorway-bites/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeonggi-doorway-bites/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/index.md) ## In short Sijang Dakbokkeum is a chicken restaurant inside Yesan Market in Yesan, Chungnam, specializing in shishito pepper dakbokkeum (spicy stir-fried chicken). Across two full days of eating our way through the market — sundae, tteokbokki, perilla oil noodles and more — this ₩25,000 dish paired with draft lager was the clear winner. Generous portions, a warmly kind owner, and 300% intent to return. ## Good to know - **Shishito pepper dakbokkeum**: ₩25,000 - **Extra toppings**: Cheese, shishito peppers, rice cake, glass noodles (bunmoja) - **Ordering system**: Food-court style — order at the counter, pick up when ready - **Drink pairing**: Draft lager straight from the tap - **Location**: Inside Yesan Market, Chungnam - **Facilities**: Clean restroom with air conditioning *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ## Two days eating through Yesan Market — here's my conclusion I really did eat through the whole Yesan Market!! Haha. We came for a 3-day-2-night trip staying at Splas Resom in Yesan~!! We hit up basically every stall in Yesan Market over two straight days!! I'd heard it was worth visiting, but it was so, so fun, and the kids loved it too :) ![Exploring inside Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-01-7jjdo-900.webp) ![Market food eaten at Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-02-wsdmo-900.webp) Sundae (blood sausage), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), perilla oil noodles, apple pie, apple yakgwa, apple juice, chicken skewers, fried meat... we ate everything except grilled meat, haha. We really ate it all!!! Great value, delicious food, and above all, every single owner was so, so kind. I was so satisfied I'd say I'm more than 300% likely to come back!! But if I had to pick just one standout!? No question!!!! Sijang Dakbokkeum !!!!! ## This is not the dakbokkeum flavor you know Wow, this was insane... it's not the dakbokkeum flavor you're used to. I honestly think this could become a franchise and do great!! Whether it's the shishito peppers or the chicken, I'm not sure, but the portion is huge and the spicy sauce is outstanding! ![A tray of spicy shishito pepper dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-03-8fa5m-900.webp) ### Draft lager with the dakbokkeum Having this with the 'Baek Jong-won beer' — genuinely amazing~! Best pairing ever!! It's a lager, but it hit like the best beer of my life. Coming straight from the draft tap probably had something to do with it... I really, truly enjoyed it. ## The owner's generosity — even tracked down my card It's located right inside Yesan Market, and the owner is so, so kind, gentle, and nice! Thanks to this warm-hearted owner of Sijang Dakbokkeum, my impression of the whole market got even better :) This is a side story, but haha... on the first day I left my card in the card reader and walked all the way back to our room. She kept my card safe, and I got it back the next day ^^; Even more — it was actually a different shop's card reader, and the owner personally went and found it for me at that store, wow. ![Storefront of Sijang Dakbokkeum inside Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-04-fej7d-900.webp) ![Market scenery around Sijang Dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-05-1joql-900.webp) ![Quiet weekday-evening seating area at Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-06-705e5-900.webp) ## How do you order? Food-court pickup style We went on a weekday evening near closing, so it was pretty quiet. It's a food-court system — order at the shop, then pick up once it's ready! I heard it's still packed on weekends! Even on a Thursday, there were a lot of people, haha. ![Sijang Dakbokkeum's shop sign at Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-07-1jj71-900.webp) This is the Yesan Market restaurant my husband and I highly recommend — Sijang Dakbokkeum~!! ![Ordering counter at Sijang Dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-08-1l6o3-900.webp) ![Menu display at Sijang Dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-09-1ajvo-900.webp) ## ₩25,000 shishito pepper dakbokkeum, and the portion is insane Once you order, cooking starts right away, and it's not just the chicken — the vegetable toppings are all delicious too. The shishito pepper dakbokkeum is ₩25,000, and the portion is absolutely massive, haha. Yesan Market ONLY!! ![Dakbokkeum being cooked right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-10-1n0j8-900.webp) ![Chicken and vegetable toppings piled on the dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-11-4le83-900.webp) ![A generous portion of shishito pepper dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-12-1fvi5-900.webp) ![Dakbokkeum waiting to be picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-13-w07cz-m-900.webp) Once the food's ready, it gets packed up like this~ then you just find a comfortable seat and dig in, haha. They also cleared away our finished dishes right away, which I really appreciated. ![Dakbokkeum packed up and carried to a seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-14-7p950-m-900.webp) ![Dakbokkeum spread out at a market seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-15-8lbft-900.webp) ## Yesan Market drinks, and the next-day reheat at our hotel Over two days we also worked our way through Yesan Market's special drinks! Beer, makgeolli (rice wine)... it was genuinely insane, ㅠ_ㅠ ![Beer and makgeolli enjoyed at Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-16-ppuxv-900.webp) ![Draft lager paired with dakbokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-17-4svpg-900.webp) ![A bottle of makgeolli from Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-18-pszdp-900.webp) The first day was beer, and on the second day we microwaved leftovers at our Deoksan Splas Resom room and had it with makgeolli... and wow, it was still so good the next day! Haha. I honestly wanted to freeze it properly and bring it back to Seoul to eat again! Haha. ![Reheated shishito pepper dakbokkeum at the hotel](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-19-111np-1200.webp) Just looking at these photos makes me want to eat it again, seriously ㅠㅠ ![Close-up of dakbokkeum coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-20-14fpk-900.webp) ![Picking up a piece of boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-21-1b029-900.webp) ### The texture of boneless chicken Just look at how plump the chicken is~ so tender and chewy at the same time — the boneless chicken texture was the best. Haha. ![Dakbokkeum with added cheese and rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-22-1999d-900.webp) ![Dakbokkeum with added glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-23-yz1wz-900.webp) Chicken, plus a cheese bomb, plus shishito peppers, plus rice cake and glass noodle add-ons — that's perfection!!! Haha. ## Even the restroom at Yesan Market is spotless And another thing I really loved about Yesan Market — even the restroom was this clean, and it had air conditioning! ![Clean restroom with air conditioning at Yesan Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip/yesan-market-chicken-stir-fry-beer-family-trip-24-1jp2k-900.webp) Turns out it's not called 'Baek Jong-won's Yesan Market' for nothing, haha. Might be worth planning a trip to Yesan sometime :) We went back to our room at Splas Resom Yesan and spent a wonderful time with the kids. Resom Splas Yesan!! I want to go again and again — such a genuinely happy trip... I hope lots of people visit Yesan Market, and please, please, please make sure to try Sijang Dakbokkeum with a draft lager~~~~~~!!!!
