A family of three, including a 9-year-old, shared two bowls of janchi guksu, one serving of pork suyuk, and perilla oil grilled tofu for 21,000 won. Verdict: a generous, easy family dinner with clean flavors. ## Good to know - **Location**: 7 minutes by car from Heyri Village, Paju - **Parking**: Dedicated parking lot in front of the restaurant - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–20:00; weekends close at 19:30; closed every Tuesday - **Janchi guksu**: ₩7,000 - **Pork suyuk, one serving**: ₩7,000 · available only when ordering noodles - **Perilla oil grilled tofu**: ₩7,000 - **Seating**: Table seating and floor seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Noodles and pork suyuk meal at Cheonje Guksu in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-01-q9nih-1200.webp) A great Paju spot for noodles and pork suyuk. We stopped by near Heyri with our child and had such a satisfying, filling dinner 🙂 ![Meal during a visit to Cheonje Guksu in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-02-1r8ju-900.webp) ## Cheonje Guksu location and parking in Paju Cheonje Guksu (천제국수) is a 7-minute drive from Heyri Village in Paju. There is a dedicated parking lot in front of the restaurant, and it is open daily from 11:30 to 20:00. On weekends it closes at 19:30, and it is regularly closed every Tuesday. ![Cheonje Guksu exterior and parking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-03-1j3qn-900.webp) We had gone out around Heyri on a weekday evening and, while wondering what to have for dinner, spotted that they had simple noodle dishes as well as suyuk, so we gave it a try. It had been a long time since I visited Heyri Village, and now that the evenings are cooler, it is such a nice place to wander around. Even though it is nearby, I somehow had not gone much—I should visit more often haha. Cheonje Guksu gave us very generous portions, and everything tasted clean and delicious, so we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was in a quiet area, but it was convenient to reach by car, and the open space in front of the parking lot was spacious, so there was no need to worry about parking. ## Inside the restaurant and seating We went for dinner at around 7 p.m. It felt a little late, but the owner welcomed us kindly. ![Interior of Cheonje Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-04-1dxg8-900.webp) Perhaps because they also make tofu, they seem confident about their kongguksu (cold noodles in soy milk broth), too. I heard it is also known as a great kongguksu spot 🙂 ![Information about kongguksu at Cheonje Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-05-1dlau-900.webp) ![Information about kongguksu at Cheonje Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-06-1urln-900.webp) There was also a tidy self-service station. Kimchi and vegetables were prepared there! ![Self-service station with kimchi and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-07-15nk5-900.webp) One side of the restaurant had tables, and there was floor seating as well, so you can choose whichever is more comfortable. We like floor seating, so that is where we ate 🙂 ![Table seating and floor seating at Cheonje Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-08-10yk6-900.webp) The restaurant was very clean, and perhaps because it had not been open for long, it felt pleasant and fresh. ## What we ordered at Cheonje Guksu ![Items ordered at Cheonje Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-09-hw23g-900.webp) We ordered janchi guksu (banquet noodles) for ₩7,000, one serving of pork suyuk for ₩7,000, and perilla oil grilled tofu for ₩7,000. There was also a suyuk-and-tofu set, but we wanted something light with noodles, so we ordered one serving of suyuk—and the owner gave us such a generous amount. ![Janchi guksu, pork suyuk, and tofu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-10-d3mom-900.webp) We are a family of three with a 9-year-old, and we ordered two bowls of janchi guksu—wow, we were so full 😉 They are so generous haha. ## Janchi guksu, pork suyuk, and tofu ![Cheonje Guksu side dishes and large pieces of tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-11-xmba9-900.webp) The side dishes arrived right after we ordered. They even served large pieces of tofu among the banchan (Korean side dishes). The tofu was wonderfully nutty~ The peppers and kimchi tasted freshly made in-house, too. The crisp peppers were lightly seasoned, which made them perfect with the noodles. ![Nutty tofu enjoyed by a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-12-s0hci-900.webp) Our child enjoyed the tofu, too. The perilla oil tofu we ordered was grilled beautifully as well. The pieces were huge, so honestly, I could have been full just from the tofu haha. ![Large pieces of perilla oil grilled tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-13-184yb-900.webp) The tofu was grilled in perilla oil, and tofu is surprisingly difficult to grill. If you do it wrong, it breaks apart, and getting it nicely golden takes care. They grilled it beautifully golden~ It was not too oily, so we enjoyed it as a light dish. ![Golden perilla oil grilled tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-14-1wd6x-900.webp) The boiled pork had absolutely no unpleasant smell. Once again, our child ate all the suyuk haha. I cannot believe they serve such a generous portion for ₩7,000 for one serving—we initially considered ordering two, but one was plenty filling. The balance of fat and lean meat was just right, and it had been simmered to a lovely chewy texture. ![Generous one-serving portion of boiled pork suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-15-1reu4-900.webp) The seasoned radish that came with it also had strips of dried squid. The seasoned chives were thin, nutrient-rich chives? Those kinds of chives are tastier. Overall, I could feel that the owner puts a great deal of care into preparing the food. ![Family dinner of perilla oil grilled tofu at Cheonje Guksu near Heyri, Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-16-xalbx-900.webp) ![Pork suyuk with accompanying side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-17-1favm-900.webp) We dipped it in salted shrimp and enjoyed it. They said the one-serving pork suyuk can only be ordered with noodles. ![Janchi guksu topped with fried tofu, zucchini, and chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-18-1pipg-900.webp) The noodles were generously topped with fried tofu, zucchini, and chives. The broth was a clear anchovy broth, but the anchovy aroma was not overly intense, which I liked. There was no fishiness at all; it was clean yet deep. Our child loves fried tofu, and was happy that there was plenty of it haha. ![Janchi guksu eaten with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-19-1s69a-900.webp) We enjoyed it with kimchi. Kimchi and noodles were a great match. ![Noodles and side dishes served in traditional Korean brassware](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles-20-1gcnj-900.webp) And something that quietly caught my eye during the meal was the tableware. From the noodles to the side dishes and suyuk, everything was served in yugi (traditional Korean brassware). Perhaps because the soft golden glow of yugi suits food so well, even an ordinary meal felt a little more neat and warm 🙂 As an aside, I have wanted to get yugi tableware for guests for a long time, but it is pricier than I expected, so I am still just thinking about it haha. When dining out with a child, I always check first whether there is something they can eat. That day, our child happily ate the janchi guksu with fried tofu, as well as the tender suyuk and tofu, so we were able to have a relaxed meal, too. ## Where it is - Cheonje Guksu (천제국수) (천제국수) - 542 Saeori-ro, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 탄현면 새오리로 542 - 37.8120444, 126.7080859 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%9C%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@37.8120444,126.7080859,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mirror-time/paju-heiri-family-dinner-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
