I took home 3 servings because eating out with our newly walking baby is chaos, and the two of us ate it for two meals thanks to all the ham, glass noodles, and vegetables. Verdict: a satisfying way to enjoy a spicy, hearty restaurant-style stew at home. ## Good to know - **Weekday hours**: Monday–Friday, 10:30 AM–9:00 PM (check break time) - **Saturday**: Closed - **Sunday hours**: Until 3:00 PM - **Dine-in**: Unlimited rice refills - **Receipt review**: Free ramyeon noodles *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* On a day when I was craving a spicy, savory broth, I was wondering what to have for dinner when Choi Budae Jjigae, a great spot in Okjeong, came to mind! I wanted to eat there, but our baby has recently started walking and dining out turns into total chaos, so we decided to get takeout and eat at home. ## Choi Budae Jjigae in Okjeong for solo meals and family gatherings Here I am at Choi Budae Jjigae to pick up budae-jjigae (army base stew) takeout 🙌 They also offer meals for one, so I recommend it to anyone looking to eat alone in Okjeong. ![Visiting Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-01-9hz5m-900.webp) ![Exterior of Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-02-1p9ll-900.webp) It brought back memories of my job-hunting days, studying at a reading room and eating convenience-store food because I had nowhere to dine alone.... If you work nearby and are looking for a good solo-meal spot in Okjeong, Choi Budae Jjigae seems like a great place to visit. ![Choi Budae Jjigae business hours notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-03-8qf4i-900.webp) Hours are 10:30 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Friday. There is a break time in between, so make sure to check before you go! They are closed every Saturday, and on Sundays they are open until 3:00 PM. ![Spacious seating at Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-04-1j93n-900.webp) ![Clean interior of Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-05-b7udg-900.webp) Choi Budae Jjigae has a spacious, tidy dining room, so it is also nice for a family meal in Okjeong. I liked how widely spaced the tables were. It would work well for groups or family gatherings, too. ![Family gathering seating at Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-06-u0oll-900.webp) ![Tables at Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-07-qtdlq-900.webp) ![Wide spacing between seats at Choi Budae Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-08-z1cty-900.webp) ## Three servings of budae-jjigae takeout for a spicy broth craving Here is the menu at Choi Budae Jjigae, a budae-jjigae favorite in Okjeong. I also wanted to try budae-bokkeum (stir-fried army base ingredients), but I was craving spicy broth that day, so I chose three servings of budae-jjigae to go. If we had eaten in, I would have ordered a rolled omelet too—what a shame! ![Choi Budae Jjigae menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-09-62nua-900.webp) ![Budae-jjigae and budae-bokkeum menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-10-3hgii-900.webp) ![Choi Budae Jjigae takeout menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-11-1hcme-900.webp) When you dine in at Choi Budae Jjigae, rice refills are unlimited. They even cook it with premium Sindongjin rice.... Seeing how seriously they take their rice makes you think they must use good ingredients in the stew too, right!!!! I could feel the owner's proud commitment to never reusing food. ![Unlimited rice refill notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-12-18gee-900.webp) They also have iced maesil-cha (plum tea) for dessert. Unlimited rice already sounds filling, but dessert too—Choi Budae Jjigae has it all 👍 ![Iced plum tea and review benefit information](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-13-b8w9o-900.webp) Write a Naver receipt review and they will give you free ramyeon noodles, so be sure to join in〰️ ## Takeout with the broth and ingredients packed separately Ta-da ✨ This is the Choi Budae Jjigae takeout. The ingredients are safely packed, and the broth is separately sealed, so it is all very neat. ![Packaged budae-jjigae components](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-14-1j2a4-900.webp) ![Budae-jjigae takeout with broth and ingredients packed separately](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-15-wx35y-900.webp) There was such a variety inside—ham, glass noodles, vegetables, and more. As soon as I opened it, I could smell that spicy aroma. It was packed with fresh ingredients, and I could see why it is recognized as a great restaurant in Okjeong. ![Takeout ingredients of ham, glass noodles, and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-16-ig6vq-900.webp) ![Contents of the budae-jjigae takeout package](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-17-83tay-900.webp) ### How did I cook the takeout budae-jjigae? The instructions were written out clearly, so I simply followed them. First, I poured the broth into a pot, and it was so beautifully milky-white >.< ![Milky-white broth poured into a pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-18-bfbkq-900.webp) Then I added all the ingredients to the broth as instructed! There was so much ham, rice cake, glass noodles, and more. Personally, ham quality matters to me in budae-jjigae, and I loved that it included good-quality ham in several varieties. ![Ham and glass noodle ingredients added to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-19-bvgd0-900.webp) ![Generous budae-jjigae ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-20-p2xg9-900.webp) ![Budae-jjigae with several kinds of ham](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-21-1fflz-900.webp) Once it started to boil, I dissolved the seasoning into the broth. As the spicy seasoning blended into the pale broth, it turned into an even more delicious-looking soup. While stirring, I saw that it was absolutely loaded with ham, and I was excited to try every kind. The budae-jjigae was bubbling away so deliciously. The seasoning gradually melted into the broth. I let it simmer well so the flavors could deepen even more. ![Budae-jjigae boiling as the seasoning dissolves](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-22-e62ys-900.webp) ## A generous ham-filled budae-jjigae that fed two of us for two meals We bought three servings so we could eat generously, and because they gave us plenty of broth too, the two of us ate it for two meals. They were so generous with the ingredients that even after serving bowl after bowl, there was still more. ![A hearty pot of cooked budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-23-1hheh-900.webp) ![Budae-jjigae with kimchi and assorted ham](https://img.superchart.com/images/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal-24-besx9-900.webp) Well-fermented kimchi, Spam, sausage ham, hamburger-steak-like ham, and several other kinds of ham all came together beautifully. The glass noodles were classic standard glass noodles rather than flat ones, so they were chewy and soaked up the seasoning really well. I had never seen this hamburger-steak-like ham before, but it was mild and tender. It was ham, yet it almost felt like I was eating tteokgalbi (Korean grilled beef patties), which was new and fun. When I was worrying about dinner, I picked up this spicy, comforting Choi Budae Jjigae in Okjeong! Even as takeout, you can enjoy the same flavor as at the restaurant, and with unlimited rice when dining in, I recommend it for family gatherings and groups ✨✨ ## Where it is - Choi Budae Jjigae (최부대찌개) - Part of 1st floor, 51 Okjeong-ro 10-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 양주시 옥정로10길 51 1층 일부 - 37.8379321, 127.0943324 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B5%9C%EB%B6%80%EB%8C%80%EC%B0%8C%EA%B0%9C/@37.8379321,127.0943324,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-paper-cup/okjeong-budaejjigae-takeout-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
