It's a name that pops up a lot when you search for Cheonan restaurants, and since it's known for having a wait during peak hours as a popular Dujeong-dong spot, I timed our visit for later in the day on purpose. ![A pot of Cheongwon budae-jjigae topped with cheongyang chili and beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch-01-1ljm3-1200.webp) A spicy pot topped with cheongyang chili and beef brisket. ## Where is Cheongwon Sikdang in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, and how do you get there?

The interior was clean and spacious. ![Indoor seating at Cheongwon's Cheonan Dujeong main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch-04-k0hew-966.webp) ![Interior with spacious tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch/cheongwon-budae-jjigae-dujeong-saturday-lunch-05-14psi-966.webp) You can choose between two styles depending on your taste — the milder Songtan budae-jjigae or the spicier Cheongwon budae-jjigae with cheongyang chili.
