I had tonkotsu ramen, chilled chicken soba, and a spicy galbi rice bowl, and every dish was delicious with great value for money, so I definitely recommend it! ![Tonkotsu ramen, chilled chicken soba, and spicy galbi rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-01-1mj1w-900.webp) Apparently, it was featured on Jeongwaja! You can park in the building's underground lot, and the restaurant is on the first floor of Building A. Parking in Building B is fine too! ![Location guide for Myeonsikdang Jiwel City](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-02-1k5xq-900.webp) ## Myeonsikdang order and prices Here is the menu at Myeonsikdang, a Jiwel City favorite! Myeonsikdang has such a wide variety of dishes, including ramen, soba, pho, udon, rice bowls, and katsu! The prices are affordable too, so lots of students come here! I ordered tonkotsu ramen for ₩8,400, plus ₩500 for extra spice and ₩1,000 for a soft-boiled egg; chilled chicken soba for ₩10,500; and a spicy galbi rice bowl for ₩10,500. There are lots of dishes and various set menus too, so there is plenty to choose from, haha. ![Myeonsikdang's varied menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-03-16ynv-900.webp) ![Ordered ramen, soba, and rice bowl meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-04-zoo3q-1200.webp) I loved that everything came out quickly, all at once! The plating is so neat too, right?! I loved how nicely it was served. They will bring kimchi and danmuji (pickled radish) if you ask. ![Neatly served ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-05-mlae9-900.webp) ## Tonkotsu ramen with extra spice First up was the tonkotsu ramen with extra spice and a soft-boiled egg! The regular spicy tonkotsu ramen is too hot for me, so adding the spice makes it just nicely spicy, haha. ![Tonkotsu ramen with extra spice and a soft-boiled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-06-1840r-900.webp) The bean sprouts were cooked perfectly, and the noodles were wonderfully springy. Myeonsikdang's ramen is delicious because the noodles are thin! Noodles that are too thick feel heavy... ![Tonkotsu ramen with thin, springy noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-07-u0nf3-900.webp) The noodles were well seasoned, tender, and so delicious. For ramen, Myeonsikdang is the one... I am the person who only eats tonkotsu ramen whenever I come here. I stick to one thing. That is how good it is, haha. ![Tonkotsu ramen noodles and toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-08-34zbr-900.webp) The chashu was huge too!! There was no gamey smell at all, and it was incredibly tender. ![Tonkotsu ramen with large pieces of chashu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-09-cuveu-900.webp) The broth had no off smell either and was super rich! Nutty and delicious. ![Rich tonkotsu ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-10-1bust-900.webp) ## Chilled chicken soba with icy broth Next was the chilled chicken soba!! It came topped with finely shredded chicken breast. There was quite a lot of chicken breast too! Haha. ![Chilled chicken soba topped with chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-11-8ng62-900.webp) The noodles were really springy, and the broth had tiny ice crystals, so it was refreshingly cold and lovely! ![Chilled chicken soba noodles in icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-12-szkpr-900.webp) It had just the right amount of grated radish and wasabi, so the broth was not rich or greasy at all—just really refreshing and delicious! ![Chilled soba with grated radish and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-13-ndfem-900.webp) The chicken breast was not dry at all; it was so tender and moist! Eaten with the noodles, it was a perfect summer treat, haha. ![Moist chicken breast chilled chicken soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-14-10rct-900.webp) ## Spicy galbi rice bowl with a generous amount of meat Next is the spicy galbi rice bowl! Again, there was really so much meat!! It came with black sesame salad, soup, jalapeños, and wasabi. ![Spicy galbi rice bowl with black sesame salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-15-sz2ad-900.webp) It looks so neat, right?! The galbi seasoning was spicy, and it was topped with egg yolk, scallions, and onion. ![Galbi rice bowl topped with egg yolk, scallions, and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-16-w8zx4-900.webp) Give it a good mix! The seasoning ratio was spot-on, so it was not salty and tasted just right. ![Mixed spicy galbi rice bowl seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-17-u6xwa-900.webp) It does not look spicy at all, but it was surprisingly hot!? It was spicy by my low-spice-tolerance standards! My younger sibling, who likes spicy food, enjoyed it, haha. There were lots of onions and scallions, so they made a great combination and kept it from feeling greasy. ![Spicy galbi rice bowl with onion and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant-18-e7lgd-900.webp) There was so much rice and meat that it made for a very filling meal! It is affordable, generous, and delicious, haha. Such a great-value restaurant!! ## A filling meal with lots of menu choices First of all, I love that there are so many menu options, so you can order a variety of things. The prices are affordable, and most of all, the food tastes really good, haha. It is a restaurant everyone, young or old, would enjoy! Even at these prices, it does not taste like instant food—it tastes properly cooked, so I am always satisfied whenever I visit! ## Where it is - Myeonsikdang Jiwel City (면식당 지웰시티점) (면식당 지웰시티점) - Unit 101, Building A, 39 Daenong-ro, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea (충청북도 청주시 흥덕구 대농로 39 A동 101호 면식당) - 충청북도 청주시 흥덕구 대농로 39 A동 101호 면식당 - 36.6421413, 127.4267312 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%B4%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%A7%80%EC%9B%B0%EC%8B%9C%ED%8B%B0%EC%A0%90/@36.6421413,127.4267312,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ingredient-margin/cheongju-jwell-noodle-restaurant/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
