The menu splits into Songtan style and Cheongwon style, and a two-person order of the spicier Cheongwon-style stew costs 24,000 won, arriving packed with beef brisket and cheongyang chili, with rice and ramyeon noodles free to refill at the self-serve bar. The broth is gently fiery and deep, and the unlimited refills make Cheongwon Restaurant a good-value choice for a group meal. ## Good to know - **Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae for two**: 24,000 won - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited rice, ramyeon noodles and side dishes - **Morning visit perk**: Free egg roll if you arrive before 11:30 am - **Takeout**: 2,000 won discount - **Review event**: Free egg roll for a Naver receipt review - **Parking**: On-site space is tight; use alley spots or a paid lot - **Price reference**: ₩2,000 ≈ $1.4 · ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 · ₩24,000 ≈ $17.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![A full spread of Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae at Cheongwon Sikdang Cheonan Dujeong branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-01-3x2d7-900.webp) ![Square shot of Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae bubbling on the stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-02-hcdlw-1200.webp) Hi, this is Bulkkun. It's been a really long time since I last had budae-jjigae (army stew), and I hadn't been able to find a good spot for it since moving down to Cheonan. But I finally found a real winner: Cheongwon Restaurant: Cooking Budae-jjigae, Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch. ![Exterior signage of Cheongwon Sikdang in the Dujeong-dong food alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-03-1i52m-900.webp) *Cheongwon Restaurant: Cooking Budae-jjigae, Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch* > Cheongwon Restaurant: Cooking Budae-jjigae, Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch ## Where is Cheongwon Restaurant in Dujeong-dong, and where do you park? This Dujeong-dong hotspot sits right in the Dujeong food alley. Once you turn into the alley the sign is big enough that it's hard to miss. Parking isn't spacious, but you can grab an open spot in the surrounding alleys or use a paid lot nearby. ![Notice posted at the entrance of Cheongwon Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-04-1g8ci-900.webp) ![Sign explaining the free egg roll and takeout discount](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-05-1sses-900.webp) If you visit before 11:30am you get a free egg roll, and if you order takeout you get a ₩2,000 discount. ## Inside Cheongwon Restaurant: every table full at lunchtime > Inside the restaurant ![Interior of the Cheongwon Sikdang Cheonan Dujeong branch dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-06-b0bsc-900.webp) ![Cheongwon Sikdang tables fully packed during lunch hour](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-07-1dumv-900.webp) ![Wide view of the spacious dining hall and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-08-if49u-900.webp) ![Wall display marking visits from mukbang YouTubers](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-09-tbanm-m-900.webp) Here's the inside of this Cheonan budae-jjigae favorite. It was around lunchtime, and I honestly haven't seen a restaurant this fully packed in a long while. Even though it's a budae-jjigae place, the hall felt clean and pretty spacious, which I liked. Apparently the mukbang YouTubers Ami and Manri have stopped by here too. ![Self-serve corner with rice and ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-10-1ddl5-900.webp) ![Side dish section of the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-11-1bts2-900.webp) ![Unlimited ramyeon noodles at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-12-7afk9-900.webp) There's another highlight at Cheongwon Sikdang: the self-serve corner has unlimited refills of rice and ramyeon noodles, haha. Normally other budae-jjigae places charge ₩1,000 or ₩2,000 extra for that, right? ## Cheongwon Restaurant menu: Songtan style vs Cheongwon style budae-jjigae > Menu ![Cheongwon Sikdang menu board showing Songtan-style and Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-13-1q8sh-900.webp) ![Menu description of the Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-14-3tkrp-900.webp) ![Menu board with prices for different portion sizes of budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-15-1q03k-900.webp) Here's the menu at this Dujeong-dong favorite. It basically breaks down into two options: Songtan-style budae-jjigae and Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae. I'd heard of Songtan-style plenty of times, but Cheongwon-style was new to me, so I was curious. It's supposedly known for its spiciness, and I wanted to try it, so I ordered the Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae for two — ₩24,000. ### How Cheongwon Restaurant tells you to eat the stew - 1. Pick the budae-jjigae that suits your taste - 2. Don't lift the lid until staff have stirred the stew - 3. Taste the broth first, then add more stock to your liking - 4. Use the self-serve bar for rice, ramyeon noodles, and side dishes - 5. Review event!! ![Sign about the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-16-dhdvz-900.webp) Leave a Naver receipt review and you get a free egg roll, haha. ## How the Cheongwon-style stew for two tastes: beef brisket and cheongyang chili ![Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae for two topped with beef brisket and cheongyang chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-17-1jkka-900.webp) The Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae I ordered arrived, and just like the signage said, it was loaded with beef brisket and cheongyang chili. It looked spicier than expected, don't you think? ![Cheongwon-style budae-jjigae broth at a full boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-18-12jl4-900.webp) ![A spoonful of budae-jjigae broth being lifted from the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-19-hwtyq-900.webp) Wow, I took one spoonful of the broth and it was gently spicy with a real depth of flavor — exactly my style. And that rich, savory taste from all the ham and meat piled in there...! ![A spoonful of rice topped with ham and beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-20-1cgy9-900.webp) Piling ham and beef brisket on rice is an absolute rice thief, haha. It's so generous with portions. Whenever it feels a bit rich, the spiciness swoops in and cuts right through it. ## Finishing with self-serve ramyeon noodles and the free egg roll ![Ramyeon noodles added into the budae-jjigae pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-21-10r04-900.webp) ![Chewy ramyeon noodles soaked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-22-otxph-900.webp) After eating a good amount, in go the ramyeon noodles! You've got to finish budae-jjigae with ramyeon, right?? Chewy noodles soaked in that broth are the best part. ![Plate of egg roll received from the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-23-2v0v2-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the soft egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budae-jjigae-24-dx886-900.webp) The egg roll I got for my Naver receipt review!! Super fluffy and soft, haha. Another great meal today. ## Is Cheongwon Restaurant worth it? Final verdict Today I had truly delicious budae-jjigae at this Cheonan favorite, Cheongwon Restaurant: Cooking Budae-jjigae, Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch. It was gently spicy with real depth, the kind of flavor that's hard to dislike, and I got to eat until I was stuffed for just ₩12,000 a person, which made me super satisfied with the visit. It's also a great, budget-friendly spot for family meals or gatherings with friends.
