## In short

Sottture Dakdoritang is a Korean restaurant in Seongjeong-dong, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan, serving just one dish: dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken stew). Four diners ordered the chicken-and-a-half pot for 45,000 won and ate it in the order the staff recommend — rice cake, vegetables, breast meat, then drumstick — then finished with self-serve cheese fried rice in the reduced broth. Sottture Dakdoritang is worth a trip on a chilly day when you want a fiery broth and soft, crumbly potatoes.

As the weather got chillier I found myself craving a hot bowl of dakdoritang, so I headed to Sottture Dakdoritang! There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The bubbling cauldron is such a nice touch!

### Inside Sottture Dakdoritang

![Restaurant seating with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-04-wc7do-900.webp)

![Round table placed in the center of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-05-249m9-900.webp)

Let's step inside! The interior is clean and comfortable too. The tables were spaced out nicely, and there was a round table set up in the middle! The spicy dakdoritang smell hits you the moment you walk in — I got hungry immediately, ha.

## Sottture Dakdoritang menu and prices

There were four of us, so we ordered the dakhanmarihan (chicken and a half). Dakhanmari (2-3 people) is ₩35,000, dakhanmarihan (3-4 people) is ₩45,000. Since it's a single-menu restaurant, there's nothing to agonize over.

### The recommended eating order: rice cake, vegetables, breast, drumstick

- Boil hard on high heat for 2-3 minutes
- Turn down to low heat, then start with the rice cake
- Eat in order: rice cake → vegetables → breast meat → drumstick
- Dip the flat mandu (dumplings) generously into the broth
- Fried rice and instant noodles in the reduced broth are a must!

![Sign explaining why the chicken meat looks red](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-08-po9kn-900.webp)

The reason the chicken meat looks red inside! Apparently it's due to a substance called myoglobin! The chicken is delivered fresh every day, so eat without worry!

## Self-serve bar with free extra broth

Here's the self-serve bar! There's broth available too, so you can just add more yourself.

## The chicken-and-a-half pot, bubbling at the table

![Pot of dakdoritang with egg, potato, and rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-13-14euz-900.webp)

A little while later the dakdoritang arrived. It was incredibly generous. There was way more than just chicken — egg, potato, rice cake, and more.

![Dakdoritang starting to boil on high heat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-14-vzab2-900.webp)

Let's wait for it to come to a rolling boil.

The egg is kind of cute, isn't it? Haha (my friend said it looks a bit like a baby chick in the stew, so it felt a little creepy). Brutal, haha.

Now it's boiled up nicely! As it boils, the smell really rises up — first I'll eat the rice cake.

So chewy.

### The broth gets richer as it reduces

The broth was genuinely delicious! The more it reduces, the deeper the flavor gets!!!! It was spicy with a real savory depth. At first the meat hadn't fully absorbed the seasoning, but the more it simmered, the more the flavor soaked in.

![A well-seasoned piece of drumstick](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-18-1pmcr-900.webp)

I saved the drumstick for last especially. The meat was tender and well-seasoned! Not dry at all, just soft and juicy — dipped straight into the broth.

![Fully cooked, crumbly dakdoritang potatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-19-li75h-900.webp)

The potatoes need to be cooked through fully too. That way they get soft and crumbly and mash easily. The potatoes were just as delicious as the chicken, so I kept eating them.

## Making your own cheese fried rice at the end

Once we finished the chicken and the broth reduced down to just a little left, we added the fried rice.

Cheese fried rice. You make it yourself!

My friend made a heart out of it 💗💗💗💗

![Cheese fried rice shaped into a heart](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-22-o9ftp-900.webp)

People who love fried rice eating it twice in one day, haha. Fried rice in the leftover broth is absolutely essential.

![Ice cream served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order/cheonan-sotdure-dakdoritang-eating-order-23-174qh-900.webp)

And ice cream for dessert _☆
