The ₩43,000 small set came with corn cheese, flat dumplings, and a tasting-size clam soup, and stayed warm throughout. A filling choice for two who enjoy spicy seafood. ## Good to know - **Order**: Small hot-plate algoni jjim set meal - **Price**: ₩43,000 - **Set includes**: Tasting-size clam soup, hot-plate corn cheese, flat dumplings, and side dishes - **Spice level**: Adjustable; level 1 chosen on this visit - **Group seating**: Private room available, with seating for up to 60 - **Lunch menu**: Seafood kalguksu - **Parking**: Full during weekend dinner peak time *as written by the visitor on Aug 25, 2026* While deciding what to eat for a weekend dinner date in Cheongna, we ended up having warm, spicy algoni jjim! This was Haemul Teukbyeolsi Cheongna Direct Store (해물특별시 청라직영점), where it arrives on a hot plate rather than a regular dish, so it stays warm as you eat. When looking up agujjim restaurants in Incheon, lots of places also serve seafood braises or algoni jjim, but I noticed that this place serves its menu as a full set meal. > Haemul Teukbyeolsi Cheongna Direct Store ![Haemul Teukbyeolsi Cheongna Direct Store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-01-1do1u-966.webp) ## A weekend dinner visit in Cheongna’s dining alley Haemul Teukbyeolsi Cheongna Direct Store is in Cheongna’s dining alley. We visited on a weekend evening, and it was already busy, so there were no spaces in the parking lot. If you visit during the weekend peak, it seems best to allow a little extra time for parking. ![Visiting the restaurant in Cheongna’s dining alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-02-j2kcy-966.webp) ![Haemul Teukbyeolsi on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-03-r5mr0-966.webp) Once inside, nearly every table was occupied. Guests kept coming in while we ate, too. There are plenty of tables, and the layout generally works well for meals with a larger group. ![Restaurant tables suited to dining with a group](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-04-1o0mr-966.webp) There is also a private room farther inside. It can accommodate groups of up to 60, so it looked suitable for family gatherings, work dinners, or larger meetups such as wedding-invitation gatherings. If you are looking for an agujjim restaurant in Cheongna for a group, it is worth checking whether a private room is available. ![Private room available for group use](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-05-rkgoh-966.webp) ## What comes with the hot-plate algoni jjim set and its price The main options include a whole-squid hot-plate seafood-braise set, hot-plate agujjim set, hot-plate algoni jjim set, and whole-squid seafood-soup set. They also sell seafood kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) at lunch. We ordered the small hot-plate algoni jjim set for ₩43,000! It comes with tasting-size clam soup, hot-plate corn cheese, flat dumplings, and side dishes. Many seafood-braise places in Cheongna serve only one main dish, but here the appeal was being able to eat several things together in one set. ![Hot-plate algoni jjim set meal components](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-06-1shsz-966.webp) The basic side dishes came out first: pickles, baek-kimchi (mild white kimchi), and green-onion kimchi, all neatly prepared. Since the algoni jjim sauce is spicy, they were great to eat along the way! ![Basic side dishes of pickles, baek-kimchi, and green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-07-1uz0b-966.webp) Then came the hot-plate corn cheese included in the set. It was nice to have a few bites while it was warm before the main dish arrived. ![Hot-plate corn cheese included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-08-2u1qe-966.webp) The flat dumplings come with it too. You can eat them on their own, or once the algoni jjim arrives, top them with bean sprouts or roe and wrap them up together. I liked being able to change up the combinations instead of eating just one thing the whole time. Also included in the set was the tasting-size clam soup! Despite the name, it was enough for the two of us to share before the main dish came out. The broth had a pleasantly spicy kick, so it was good to spoon up between bites of algoni jjim. ![A bowl of tasting-size clam soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-09-10iz3-966.webp) ## Algoni jjim that stayed warm to the last bite on the hot plate And finally, the main dish appeared! It looked even more generous on the table than it had in the photos. The hot plate was piled with roe, goni (soft fish milt), and bean sprouts, arriving with the sauce still sizzling. ![Algoni jjim and bean sprouts on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-10-ooks1-1200.webp) Rather than being served on a regular plate, Haemul Teukbyeolsi says the dish stays warm on the hot plate as you eat. If you are looking into agujjim restaurants in Incheon and are curious about one served on a hot plate, that seems like a clear difference. ![Hot-plate algoni jjim kept warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-11-1v5e2-966.webp) First, the roe, which I love! The pieces were large, with real presence when picked up with chopsticks. Eating them with the bean sprouts and sauce added a crisp texture that worked really well. ![Roe with sauce and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-12-6kz5a-966.webp) And of course, the goni could not be missed. The soft goni coated in spicy sauce had me alternating between it and the roe. It is disappointing when an algoni jjim has lots of roe but little goni, or vice versa, but here we could pick at both. ![Goni coated in spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-13-1jhax-966.webp) ### Bean sprouts with spice level 1 There were plenty of bean sprouts beneath the roe and goni as well. We mixed them well with the sauce and ate them alongside the roe or goni. We chose spice level 1. The spice can be adjusted, so anyone who does not handle spicy food well can choose their preferred level when ordering. We mixed the sauce and bean sprouts evenly across the hot plate. It stayed warm throughout the meal, which I liked because the temperature did not drop much from the first bite to the last. If you enjoy your agujjim piping hot, the hot-plate style should be a good fit. ![Hot-plate braise mixed with sauce and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-14-u9jth-966.webp) Looking at the algoni jjim alone, I thought the small size would be just right for two, but with the corn cheese, flat dumplings, clam soup, and side dishes all included, we were quite full by the end. We visited for a date, but the set also looked good for a family sharing several things together. ![Algoni jjim set meal shared by two](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan-15-3yy1d-966.webp) We both usually enjoy roe and goni, so this time we chose algoni jjim instead of agujjim, and the set was quite filling for two. More than anything, what stayed with me was being able to keep eating it warm as it simmered on the hot plate, right through the end of the meal. It may be useful for anyone looking for a place in Incheon with choices beyond agujjim, including algoni jjim and seafood dishes; for those seeking a Cheongna seafood-braise restaurant with a room for gatherings; or for anyone researching agujjim in Cheongna. If, like me, you enjoy both roe and goni, the hot-plate algoni jjim set at Haemul Teukbyeolsi could be a good pick. ## Where it is - Haemul Teukbyeolsi Cheongna Direct Branch (해물특별시 청라직영점) - 23 Cheongna Emerald-ro 41beon-gil, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 서해구 청라에메랄드로41번길 23 1층 - 37.5295409, 126.6557664 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EB%AC%BC%ED%8A%B9%EB%B3%84%EC%8B%9C%20%EC%B2%AD%EB%9D%BC%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5295409,126.6557664,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-dining-stoop/cheongna-algoni-jjim-cheolpan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
