On a stop before glamping, medium-spicy jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) stir-fry with hot pot rice for two (₩13,000 per person) and a kids' pork loin cutlet were ordered, made easy by the dedicated parking lot, baby chair, and side-dish self-bar. It's a solid combo for adults who love spice and kids who don't. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5 Yangjimal 1-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:50 (last order 20:00, no break time) - **Order**: Medium-spicy jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) stir-fry + hot pot rice for two, plus a kids' pork loin cutlet - **Price**: Jjukkumi stir-fry with hot pot rice, ₩13,000 per person - **Basic side dishes**: Lettuce, bean sprouts, radish salad, cabbage salad, cold seaweed soup (self-bar refills) - **Parking**: Large dedicated lot in front of the restaurant - **Amenities**: Side-dish self-bar, portable charger, baby chair, private room *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Jjukkumi stir-fry table setting at Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch in Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-01-1ftjx-900.webp) It was on the way to a weekend glamping trip. Before heading out, I wanted a hearty lunch, and since I'd been craving something spicy lately, I stopped by Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Direct Branch, a well-known jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) spot in Yuryang-dong, Cheonan. ![Spicy jjukkumi stir-fry served with hot pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-02-dyems-1200.webp) The set comes with spicy jjukkumi stir-fry and freshly cooked hot pot rice together, so it made for a satisfying meal. ## Location and hours of Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch - Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Direct Branch - 5 Yangjimal 1-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00 - 20:50 - Last order 20:00 / no break time ![Exterior of Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-03-6r5xb-900.webp) ## Parking and the garden out front Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch has a large dedicated parking lot right in front, so there was nothing to worry about. Even with plenty of weekend lunch crowds, there was enough parking space to pull in comfortably. ![Large dedicated parking lot in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-04-it7wy-900.webp) ![Garden-like space out front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-05-hsx3d-900.webp) After the meal, I noticed a garden-like space out front that looked perfect for a coffee and some fresh air. It's a great spot to stop by leisurely before heading to a glamping site. ![Outdoor area near the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-06-166o2-900.webp) ![Entrance of Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-07-pyhk3-900.webp) ## Inside the restaurant, the private room, and even a baby chair Inside, the space is split into two areas. One hall was nearly full, and the other had a private room. There were plenty of families dining by reservation too, so it seemed like a good spot for family outings. ![Restaurant interior split into two dining halls](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-08-1gv7m-900.webp) ![Private room seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-09-l9kvz-900.webp) ![Side-dish self-bar area with a baby chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-10-ni4pi-900.webp) And here's what I really liked! Along with the side-dish self-bar, there was even a portable charger and a baby chair, which felt like thoughtful attention to guests. Families with young kids could clearly use the place with ease. ## What we ordered ![Menu board at Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-11-ksw8w-900.webp) ![Menu info for the jjukkumi stir-fry and hot pot rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-12-1m6jt-900.webp) ![Spice level guide and side menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-13-kryjp-900.webp) We ordered the signature medium-spicy jjukkumi stir-fry with hot pot rice for two. At ₩13,000 per person including the rice, it felt like decent value, and we added a kids' pork loin cutlet for our child. Since there's a non-spicy option on the menu, it's a good spot to visit as a family. ![Basic side dishes: lettuce, bean sprouts, radish salad, cabbage salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-14-jk25r-966.webp) ### Basic side dishes and cold seaweed soup The basic side dishes come out nicely arranged too. Lettuce, bean sprouts, radish salad, and cabbage salad, along with a refreshing cold seaweed soup, are served alongside. The cabbage salad in particular had a ketchup-mayo dressing on top, which paired surprisingly well with the spicy Yuryang-dong jjukkumi. ![A bowl of cold seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-15-1u08p-900.webp) And the cold seaweed soup was refreshing — after a bite of jjukkumi, a spoonful of the soup cleaned the palate perfectly. If the side dishes ran low, we could refill as much as needed from the self-bar, which was another nice touch. ## The jjukkumi stir-fry and hot pot rice ![Jjukkumi stir-fry for two with smoky aroma rising](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-16-5dccp-900.webp) Soon the main dish arrived, and the visual alone — with a faint smoky char aroma rising — was mouthwatering. The octopus pieces were plumper than expected, so the portion was quite generous. ![Close-up of the medium-spicy jjukkumi stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-17-1qjlu-900.webp) We ordered the medium spice level, and at first the sweet, savory sauce came through before the heat built up the more we ate. It wasn't just spicy for spice's sake — it paired really well with rice. ![Table setting with freshly cooked hot pot rice and jjukkumi stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-18-1trzv-966.webp) ![Scooping rice out from the opened hot pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-19-1ajyo-900.webp) ### How to eat the hot pot rice First, scoop the rice out into a bowl, then pour hot water into the pot to make scorched rice (nurungji) for later. ![Hot pot with scorched rice made by pouring in hot water](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-20-b1ntw-966.webp) I piled a big bowl with plenty of lettuce, bean sprouts, and radish salad, topped it with jjukkumi, and mixed it all together — the combination was fantastic. ![Mixed bowl of lettuce, bean sprouts, radish salad, and jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-21-12sh5-900.webp) The crunchy vegetables, springy octopus, and rich sauce came together for a satisfying bite every time. By the time we'd eaten most of the jjukkumi, a little sauce was left, and it was too good to waste, so we scraped it up with a spoon. Truly a top spot in Yuryang-dong, Cheonan! ![Warm scorched rice tea brewed from the hot pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-22-b2gpi-900.webp) And the highlight of the hot pot rice is definitely the scorched rice tea (sungnyung). Sipping the warm, steeped nurungji settled the spicy heat and left a satisfying, filling feeling. If you love spicy food, I'd definitely recommend getting the hot pot rice set. ## The kids' pork loin cutlet ![Pork loin cutlet ordered from the kids' menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-23-1v6ad-900.webp) The pork loin cutlet ordered for the kids' menu was tasty too. It came out crispy fried, our child ate it happily, and the portion was just right for a full meal. ![Table with the pork loin cutlet and jjukkumi stir-fry together](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch-24-1gnrs-900.webp) Thanks to that, the adults got to enjoy the spicy Yuryang-dong jjukkumi while the kid had a pork cutlet — a satisfying combo for a family meal out. ## Final thoughts Smoky jjukkumi stir-fry, freshly cooked hot pot rice, and a clean finish with the scorched rice tea at the end! The combination of plump, chewy octopus, savory sauce, and crunchy vegetables mixed together was great, and having a kids' menu made it a satisfying spot to visit as a family. If you're looking for a hearty meal on the way to glamping or on a drive, I'd recommend this Cheonan favorite, Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Branch. ## Where it is - Bulnaneun Jjukkumi Yuryang Direct Branch (불나는쭈꾸미 유량직영점) - 5 Yangjimal 1-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 동남구 양지말1길 5 1층 - 36.815702, 127.1837417 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%88%EB%82%98%EB%8A%94%EC%AD%88%EA%BE%B8%EB%AF%B8%20%EC%9C%A0%EB%9F%89%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@36.815702,127.1837417,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@home-then-dinner/cheonan-yuryang-jjukkumi-family-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
