Two servings of plain jjukkumi stir-fry at regular spice level were ordered with a free cheese sarie (add-on) and bean sprouts from a Naver review event, finishing with cheese fried rice in the leftover sauce. The octopus portions were plump and generous, and even the regular spice level was hot enough that spice-sensitive eaters won't need to go hotter. ## Good to know - **Jjukkumi stir-fry**: ₩15,000 per serving (2 servings ordered) - **Cheese fried rice**: ₩3,000 - **Spice options**: Regular, extra spicy - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:15–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Closed**: Sundays - **Parking**: Dedicated lot behind the restaurant - **Seating**: Large hall plus 2 private rooms - **Service**: One steamed egg per table, free Wi-Fi - **Takeout**: Uncooked jjukkumi, 2 servings' worth for the price of 1 *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Today's visit!

I've actually bought this a few times for housewarmings and camping trips, and the portion was so generous that just one order was plenty. ![Sign advertising uncooked jjukkumi for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-05-os8ix-m-900.webp) ![Posted menu for takeout orders](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-06-hp8j4-871.webp) ![Menu board at Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-07-zn6a0-871.webp) ## Two private rooms, fully booked even on an early Saturday evening The interior is bigger than I expected, with plenty of tables. There are two private rooms, great for group gatherings or work dinners. Even though I visited during an early Saturday evening slot, almost every table was full or reserved. ![Spacious dining hall with many tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-08-17g47-900.webp) This Ajung-ri, Jeonju restaurant, "Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung Branch," apparently has been serving its distinctively delicious, spicy jjukkumi stir-fry for 19 years. I've been coming here for about 7-8 years myself but had no idea it had such a long history haha ~..~ ![Wall display noting the restaurant's 19-year history](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-09-5qiwc-900.webp) Free Wi-Fi is also available, so check the wall sign if you need it. ![Free Wi-Fi sign on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-10-6mset-865.webp) At "Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung Branch," writing a Naver receipt review isn't optional — it's a must! Add the free cheese sarie (add-on) from the review event and your jjukkumi gets way better. ![Sign for the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-11-wxo1w-900.webp) ![Cheese sarie received from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-12-1slk2-900.webp) ## Basic side dishes, self-serve bar, and complimentary steamed egg The basic side dishes are simple — salad, braised mushrooms, pickled onion, radish wraps, lettuce wraps, bean sprout soup, and mayonnaise. The cold bean sprout soup is perfect for cooling your mouth down between bites of spicy jjukkumi. And that mayo sauce — you'd be sad without it. Refilling it two or more times is the unwritten rule; dip generously. ![Basic side dishes including salad, braised mushrooms, and radish wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-13-1pulx-867.webp) If you need extra side dishes or tableware, there's a self-serve bar by the entrance. ![Self-serve side dish bar by the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-14-gqylp-900.webp) A fluffy steamed egg custard is served free, one per table. ![Complimentary fluffy steamed egg custard](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-15-1v9ij-900.webp) ## Two servings of plain jjukkumi stir-fry, spice level set to regular ![Two servings of plain jjukkumi stir-fry on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-16-vk1fh-855.webp) *— Jjukkumi stir-fry, 2 servings (₩15,000 x 2) —* I don't like anything else mixed into my jjukkumi stir-fry, so I always order it plain haha. There are two spice options — regular and extra spicy. Even the regular level is quite hot, so I'd recommend regular unless you're really into spice. ![Spicy jjukkumi stir-fry cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-17-1lqhj-867.webp) The staff came back and forth to cook it for us the whole way through. When you go out for jjukkumi stir-fry, it's often mostly cabbage or rice cake with barely any actual octopus — but "Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung Branch" is different. The plump octopus was genuinely generous. ## Adding the review-event cheese sarie and bean sprouts Finally, time for the free cheese sarie (add-on) I got for writing a Naver review to shine. ![Cheese sarie added beside the jjukkumi stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-18-2ujec-1200.webp) They sprinkled the cheese sarie over the side of the well-cooked jjukkumi stir-fry. ![Melting cheese sarie over the jjukkumi stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-19-3gask-m-900.webp) Once it's nearly done cooking, they add a generous amount of bean sprouts. For extra bean sprouts, use the self-serve bar. ![Bean sprouts added to the jjukkumi stir-fry on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-20-15gkb-776.webp) ![Close-up of a plump piece of jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-21-7y586-806.webp) As always, "Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung Branch" doesn't disappoint. Big, plump octopus pieces, a sauce that's spicy but not overwhelming, and that savory mayo sauce ㅠㅠ When it gets too spicy, a bite of steamed egg or bean sprout soup resets your mouth, and you're right back to eating more jjukkumi. ## Finishing up with cheese fried rice ![Cheese fried rice stir-fried in the leftover sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-22-hf6d3-859.webp) *— Cheese fried rice (₩3,000) —* Leaving this delicious sauce behind would be a crime. Naturally, we stir-fried some fried rice in it. ![Fried rice eaten together with saved jjukkumi pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-23-d16pg-779.webp) Eating it with the few pieces of jjukkumi we intentionally saved made for an absolutely perfect finale.. It made me wonder if this whole meal was just a build-up to that fried rice. ![An emptied pot after finishing the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese-24-18xs5-842.webp) I nearly ate the pot too. Ugh... writing this post is making me crave spicy jjukkumi with a cold soju-beer mix right now. ## Where it is - Jeonju Jjukkumi Sinhwa Ajung-ri Main Branch (전주 쭈꾸미신화 아중리본점) - 16 Donggajaemi 2-gil, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-si, South Korea - 전북특별자치도 전주시 덕진구 동가재미2길 16 1층 전주쭈꾸미신화 아중리본점 - 35.8332345, 127.1621236 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%84%EC%A3%BC%20%EC%AD%88%EA%BE%B8%EB%AF%B8%EC%8B%A0%ED%99%94%20%EC%95%84%EC%A4%91%EB%A6%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8332345,127.1621236,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeolla-dining-room/jeonju-ajungri-jjukkumi-sinhwa-cheese/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
