I was craving something spicy and hearty today, so I went to Sottture Dakdoritang in Seongjeong-dong, Cheonan. I'd bookmarked this place ages ago just from the sight of a big pot of dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken stew) bubbling away — it looked so good. Finally made it there haha. Here's my review after eating my way through a whole chicken and the sides!

## Where is Sottture Dakdoritang, and where do you park?

Sottture Dakdoritang sits across from Lotte Mart in Seongjeong-dong, near Gwangje Women's Clinic. Even on a first visit, it's easy enough to find with the address.

![Big decorative iron cauldron in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight-04-1ls1c-900.webp)

There's a parking lot behind the restaurant, so it was convenient to drive there. I visited in the evening and still found a spot. There's also a big decorative iron cauldron out front that gets your appetite going.

## Inside Sottture Dakdoritang: does it work for group dinners?

Walking in, the place was bigger than I expected. There are quite a lot of tables, mostly set up for 4 people, so it looked fine for larger groups too. Tables can be pushed together, so

![Seating mainly arranged around 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight-06-1b8vv-900.webp)

it seemed like a good spot for groups of 8 or more, or as a company dinner venue in Seongjeong-dong. Even on a Wednesday evening, I saw plenty of people having dinner with a drink. Dakdoritang itself is spicy and sharp, so it seems like it'd pair well as both a meal and as a drinking snack haha.

### Is Sottture Dakdoritang good for a family meal out?

The restaurant has disposable aprons and baby chairs on hand. Broth can splash around while you eat dakdoritang, so the apron comes in handy. If you're visiting with kids, ordering the pork cutlet as a side is also a good move.

## Sottture Dakdoritang menu and prices

As the name suggests, Sottture Dakdoritang's signature dish is dakdoritang. It comes in two sizes: whole chicken or a chicken-and-a-half. Whole chicken (2–3 people) is ₩35,000, chicken-and-a-half (3–4 people) is ₩45,000. Side dishes include flat mandu (dumplings), potato pancake, pork cutlet, and self-cooked cheese fried rice.

> Order — Whole chicken (2–3 people) ₩35,000 / Makgeolli ₩4,000 / Cheese fried rice ₩4,000

After a short wait, the dakdoritang arrived in a big pot. It looked exactly like my kind of thing lol.

![Table set with dakdoritang and basic side dishes like pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight-09-1ne9x-900.webp)

The side dishes were simple, but I refilled that seasoned pickled radish about n times lol — it's such a great match with dakdoritang! The spicy sauce broth was loaded with big chunks of chicken, rice cake, and vegetables.

The boiled egg on top was a cute little detail too lol. It came already partly cooked, so there was no long wait at the start. Staff told us to simmer it for about 2–3 minutes first.

## How to eat the dakdoritang at Sottture

There's a helpful guide on the wall for how to eat it. First, boil it hard for 2–3 minutes on high heat. Then turn it down to low and start with the rice cake and vegetables. After that, eat in order: wings, breast, then drumsticks. Reducing the broth slowly over low heat makes the seasoning richer and tastier. Personally, I liked the broth better once it had reduced a bit haha.

## What does the dakdoritang broth taste like?

Sottture Dakdoritang's broth isn't light and clear — it's a bit thick and rich. It has that deep flavor of chicken stock simmered for a long time, so if you like spicy dakdoritang, this style should suit you.

![Rich, reduced dakdoritang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight/sotdure-dakdoritang-seongjeongdong-weeknight-13-ekc4u-900.webp)

It's spicy with a rich, seasoned flavor, so it goes great with rice too. Spoon a little broth over white rice, add some chicken meat, and it's a full bowl gone in seconds lol. Reducing the broth down a bit further seems to bring out even more umami.

## Tips for the self-cooked cheese fried rice

After finishing the dakdoritang, fried rice is a must. There's a self-cooked cheese fried rice menu, so you can stir-fry it right in the leftover broth.

Adding cheese in particular brings a nice cheesy richness that pairs well with the spicy stew. When making the fried rice, it's better to start with very little broth and add more little by little, rather than pouring a lot in at once — too much broth all at once can make the rice mushy. Shredding some leftover chicken breast meat into the fried rice is also a combo I'd recommend.

If you're looking for a spicy, hearty dakdoritang in Seongjeong-dong, Cheonan, Sottture Dakdoritang is worth a visit. It's packed with big pieces of chicken, rice cake, and vegetables, and the broth is rich and spicy — great with rice. The fun of reducing the broth bit by bit as you eat means the flavor keeps shifting from start to finish, which I really liked. Adding the flat mandu to dip in the broth along with the chicken is also a combo I'd personally recommend. Round it off with the fried rice at the end and you've got a proper meal. The place is spacious, so it works well for a family outing, a get-together with friends, or a company dinner, and the parking lot makes it easy to visit by car. Best of all, even one order of dakdoritang is plenty for two people, so it's a good spot for a day when you want to eat generously.
