One table order covered kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) for two, pork stir-fry on a hot plate for two, dumpling soup and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), and the kimchi jjigae arrived loaded with ramyeon noodles and thin sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes). At 5,000 to 9,000 won a dish, Jeontong Sigol Chueotang is a solid pick for a filling Korean meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 6 Sinbok-ro 21beon-gil, Nam-gu, Ulsan - **Hours**: 09:00–20:00 (closed Sundays) - **Price range**: 5,000–9,000 won - **Kalguksu**: 6,000 won - **Ordered**: Kimchi jjigae for two, pork stir-fry on a hot plate for two, dumpling soup, kalguksu - **Parking**: Room for about 2 cars in front of the restaurant - **Price reference**: ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 · ₩9,000 ≈ $6.7 · ₩6,000 ≈ $4.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![Featured photo of Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-01-17awl-1200.webp) I was craving a hearty Korean meal for once, so I went looking for a good-value spot in Mugeo-dong near Ulsan University. There are actually quite a few filling, affordable Korean restaurants around the university, and the one we visited this time was Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch. ## Where Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch is, and its opening hours Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch is located at 6 Sinbok-ro 21beon-gil, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea. It's open 09:00–20:00, closed every Sunday. ## Parking and what the dining room feels like ![Exterior of the Mugeo-dong restaurant and its front parking spaces](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-02-4vsgl-966.webp) There's parking for about 2 cars right in front of the restaurant, and we got lucky with an open spot. If there's no space, you can also try parking at Ulsan University nearby — worth keeping in mind. ![Seating inside Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-03-1rq7j-m-966.webp) ![Interior with the cozy vibe of a college-area restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-04-18siy-966.webp) The vibe inside was cozy and welcoming, like a classic neighborhood spot near a university campus. ## Menu and prices at Jeontong Sigol Chueotang ![Menu board at Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-05-bmmvr-900.webp) ![Menu listing chueotang and hot-plate pork stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-06-1qqhr-900.webp) True to being a university-area restaurant, the menu prices are pretty low. This is probably why I sometimes get the urge to eat around a college campus, haha. The signature dishes are chueotang (loach soup) and pork stir-fry on a hot plate, alongside kimchi jjigae, kalguksu, and dumpling soup. In summer they also have yeolmu guksu (young radish kimchi cold noodles) and yeolmu bibimbap. Prices run from ₩5,000 to the ₩9,000s, so you can eat a filling meal without spending much. ## What comes as banchan (side dishes) ![Side dishes brought out after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-07-120q9-966.webp) ![Plate of banchan good for eating with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-08-102cr-966.webp) ![Close-up of Jeontong Sigol Chueotang's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-09-1h1b1-966.webp) ![Side dishes served in small bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-10-scmhp-966.webp) ![Side dish spread at the Korean restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-11-mzawo-966.webp) ![Table lined with several side dish plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-12-7yh8r-966.webp) After ordering, they bring out the side dishes, and they're all solid rice-pairing options — honestly, you could finish a whole bowl of rice with just the banchan alone. ![Table set with kimchi jjigae and hot-plate pork stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-13-86yzk-966.webp) What we ordered was kimchi jjigae for two, pork stir-fry on a hot plate for two, plus dumpling soup and kalguksu. We wanted to try a bit of everything, so we went all out. ## Pork stir-fry on a hot plate, cooked with ramyeon noodles in the pan ![Pork stir-fry served on a hot metal plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-14-183mn-966.webp) The pork stir-fry comes served on a literal hot plate, so be careful not to burn yourself. It sizzles the whole time, which meant we could keep eating it piping hot until the very end — that was the appeal. ![Pork stir-fry with pork and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-15-7he99-966.webp) The stir-fry is loaded with pork and various vegetables, and since it's cooked over high heat, it stayed dry with no watery liquid pooling even down to the last bite — I liked that. ![Hot-plate pork stir-fry cooked together with ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-16-1ljv5-966.webp) Even though it's a pork stir-fry, they throw in ramyeon noodles too, which makes it extra filling — that's the perk. Probably because of that, it's one of the most popular dishes at Jeontong Sigol Chueotang Ulsan Mugeo Branch, a well-known spot near Ulsan University. ![Pork stir-fry eaten together with white rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-17-1224v-966.webp) It pairs really well with plain white rice too — I made quick work of the stir-fry. ## The 6,000-won kalguksu and the dumpling soup ![A bowl of kalguksu with dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-18-p1ahx-966.webp) The kalguksu with dumplings had this nutty sesame oil aroma that made my mouth water. At ₩6,000, the generous amount of ingredients really shows the value. ![Water dumplings inside the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-19-1qri0-966.webp) It has mul-mandu (water dumplings) in it, which were easy to slurp up in one bite. ![Close-up of the chewy kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-20-r6yxv-966.webp) The kalguksu noodles were nice and chewy too, satisfying to slurp down. It honestly worked pretty well as a hangover-cure kind of meal. ## Kimchi jjigae for two, with ramyeon noodles and sujebi in the pot ![Kimchi jjigae for two, simmered at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-21-ixv52-966.webp) We also ordered the kimchi jjigae for two, which is just as popular as the pork stir-fry. Turns out there's ramyeon noodles inside the kimchi jjigae too — another dish that's great for a filling meal. The kimchi jjigae comes out to be boiled at the table, so it stayed hot all the way through, which I liked. ![Kimchi jjigae generously packed with pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-22-1wlie-966.webp) There was a generous amount of pork inside the kimchi jjigae — genuinely a lot of ingredients for the price! ![Ramyeon noodles fished out of the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-23-1qw2s-966.webp) Once the ramyeon noodles were cooked, I made sure to fish them out first — if you don't eat them quickly, they get soggy or the broth disappears. ![Kimchi jjigae broth with well-fermented kimchi and meat visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set/mugeo-dong-kimchi-stew-kalguksu-set-24-1rtxr-966.webp) Probably because it was packed with well-fermented kimchi, the tangy flavor really stood out. It was also fun fishing out pieces of meat along the way. As we kept eating, I noticed there was also thin dumpling-dough strips (sujebi) in there. Being thin, they were surprisingly easy to keep reaching for. We ordered kimchi jjigae but ended up with ramyeon noodles and sujebi too, which made for a really satisfying, filling meal. ## Is Jeontong Sigol Chueotang worth a visit?
