We had mung-bean and scorched-rice herbal samgyetang plus a child-friendly chicken soup, with easy parking. Ppongnamujip is a solid choice for a nourishing family meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 62-1 Sapgyo-ro, Sapgyo-eup, Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea (충남 예산군 삽교읍 삽교로 62-1) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:00 - **Break time**: 14:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 19:00 - **Mung-bean herbal samgyetang**: ₩17,000 - **Scorched-rice herbal samgyetang**: ₩17,000 - **Herbal samgyetang**: ₩16,000 - **Chicken gomtang**: ₩10,000 - **Parking**: Ample parking in front of the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Clear weather scenery after camping](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-01-ablww-900.webp) The weather has been sooo nice lately. After our camping trip. ![Visiting Ppongnamujip in Sapgyo, Yesan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-02-tdw3u-900.webp) ## A hearty meal in Sapgyo, Yesan: Ppongnamujip While looking for somewhere in Sapgyo, Yesan, for a filling meal, I visited Ppongnamujip. It apparently used to operate as Ppongnamu Nurungji Samgyetang, then built a new building and changed its name to Ppongnamujip. Since it is a newly built place, the exterior felt clean overall. > Ppongnamujip samgyetang in Sapgyo, Yesan ![Exterior of Ppongnamujip in Sapgyo, Yesan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-03-2r12k-900.webp) There was plenty of parking out front. ![Parking area in front of Ppongnamujip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-04-qlfgb-900.webp) ![View of the Ppongnamujip parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-05-owl6s-900.webp) It was easy to visit by car, so it seemed like a good spot for a family meal too. ![Ppongnamujip restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-06-153nl-900.webp) - Address: 62-1 Sapgyo-ro, Sapgyo-eup, Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea (충남 예산군 삽교읍 삽교로 62-1) - Lot address: 290-23 Singa-ri - Hours: daily 11:00–20:00 - Break time: 14:00–17:00 - Last order: 19:00 - Formerly Ppongnamu Nurungji Samgyetang; renamed Ppongnamujip ![Restaurant interior with photos from TV features](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-07-ksqe8-900.webp) There were also photos from TV features on display. Once inside, the space was bigger than I expected. The tables were not cramped together, and everything was bright and clean. ![Bright and spacious Ppongnamujip dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-08-1edj9-900.webp) There were quite a few customers at lunchtime, but since the dishes seem to turn over quickly, it did not feel chaotic. ![Ppongnamujip at lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-09-42q2r-900.webp) ![Self-serve side-dish area at Ppongnamujip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-10-wqwa5-900.webp) Some of the side dishes are available self-serve. It was nice being able to comfortably refill anything we needed. ## Ppongnamujip menu and prices ![Ppongnamujip samgyetang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-11-1k93h-900.webp) ![Ppongnamujip menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-12-71j7n-900.webp) The signature dishes are dakgalbi jeongol (spicy chicken hot pot) and the various samgyetang options. - Mung-bean herbal samgyetang: ₩17,000 - Scorched-rice herbal samgyetang: ₩17,000 - Herbal samgyetang: ₩16,000 - Chicken gomtang: ₩10,000 ![Spicy chicken soup and chicken hot pot menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-13-dlxdo-900.webp) There were also spicy chicken gukbap and dakgalbi jeongol, among other dishes. ![Ppongnamujip basic side-dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-14-1ku89-900.webp) ![Basic sides served with samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-15-knl05-900.webp) ## Even the basic sides were neat and good ![Kkakdugi, pickles, and vegetable side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-16-1rj5m-900.webp) A variety of side dishes that went well with samgyetang came out. There was kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), pickled vegetables, and vegetable sides, and nothing was overly intense. The kkakdugi was especially tasty. It was not excessively rich or salty; the seasoning and crisp texture were just right. Ppongnamujip also says it serves homemade soy sauce, made by grinding soybeans and fermenting meju soybean blocks itself. They said it follows the old-fashioned way of dipping boiled chicken in homemade soy sauce, so I tried dipping the samgyetang chicken in it too. ![Ordered samgyetang and chicken gomtang spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-17-1joqv-900.webp) We ordered mung-bean herbal samgyetang, scorched-rice herbal samgyetang, and chicken gomtang. ## Rich, thick broth in the mung-bean herbal samgyetang Mung-bean herbal samgyetang, ₩17,000. It arrived bubbling in a ttukbaegi earthenware pot, and right from the look of it, it felt like a proper restorative meal. There were generous mung beans in the broth, making it a little richer and thicker than regular samgyetang. A whole chicken was inside, and the meat was tenderly cooked. ![Tender chicken in mung-bean herbal samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-18-1bfm5-900.webp) The meat came away easily when pulled with chopsticks. Inside were glutinous rice, garlic, jujubes, and more, making it very satisfying with the chicken. They say they use an herbal broth made by simmering medicinal ingredients for a long time, but it was not the kind where the medicinal-herb aroma overwhelms you. It had a savory, deep flavor, so it should suit anyone looking for a restorative dish. ## Herbal samgyetang with scorched rice to soak in the broth Scorched-rice herbal samgyetang, ₩17,000. ![Herbal samgyetang topped with a whole piece of scorched rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-19-1lh9w-900.webp) Personally, this was the dish that caught my eye most. A whole sheet of nurungji (scorched rice) sat on top of the samgyetang. At first, I enjoyed its crisp texture, then soaked it little by little in the broth; it softened up and its nutty flavor became even stronger. ![Scorched-rice herbal samgyetang with the rice soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-20-13pws-900.webp) I also liked how the nurungji absorbed the broth and became thick and porridge-like toward the end. If you prefer a nuttier flavor than regular samgyetang, this menu item should suit you. ## Chicken gomtang that was good for a child Chicken gomtang. ![Chicken gomtang ordered for a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-21-1pguf-900.webp) We ordered the chicken gomtang for our child. We did not make a special request when ordering, but they recognized it was for a child and prepared it without pepper. That felt quite thoughtful. The broth was clear and clean-tasting. There was plenty of finely shredded chicken, along with glass noodles and green onion. ![Clear chicken gomtang with chicken and glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-22-qcgy3-900.webp) Overall it was simple and refreshing, though it was lightly seasoned, which made it nice to mix with rice. It was a dish a child could eat without any burden too. ## They say they use homemade ingredients Ppongnamujip seemed to put considerable care into its ingredients. They say they use homemade soy sauce made from freshly ground soybeans, sun-dried salt that has had its bittern removed for more than three years, and kimchi made with Korean chili powder and domestic ingredients. The broth is also made by simmering Korean medicinal ingredients for at least 12 hours, which gave it the feel of a true samgyetang specialist. ![Information about Ppongnamujip's homemade ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-23-19d8t-900.webp) ![Information on free post-meal coffee and fried snacks for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal-24-311ee-900.webp) After the meal, you can have a free cup of coffee, and they were also selling Baksagi fried snacks separately at the counter. If you are looking for samgyetang or a restorative meal in Sapgyo, Yesan, this is a place worth visiting. The restaurant was spacious, parking was convenient, and even the basic sides felt homemade, so I was satisfied overall. It should suit anyone looking for a good restaurant in Sapgyo, Yesan, or a samgyetang restaurant in Yesan. ## Where it is - Ppongnamujip (뽕나무집) - 62-1 Sapgyo-ro, Sapgyo-eup, Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea (충남 예산군 삽교읍 삽교로 62-1) - 충청남도 예산군 삽교읍 삽교로 62-1 - 36.6860988, 126.7355499 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%BD%95%EB%82%98%EB%AC%B4%EC%A7%91/@36.6860988,126.7355499,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@home-in-sentences/yesan-sapgyo-samgyetang-family-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
