In a wide hall with the windows open, I ordered yukhoe (beef tartare) futomaki, whole bacon cream pasta that arrives pre-cut into bite-sized pieces, and perilla oil gat soba you mix with gamtae (dried green laver) for a nutty finish. With plenty of seats, Choi Dining works just as well for group gatherings as for a family meal out. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00 - 21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 14:15 and 20:15 - **Parking**: 3 cars in front of the restaurant - **Amenities**: Takeout, delivery, reservations and high chairs available - **What I ordered**: Yukhoe futomaki, whole bacon cream pasta, perilla oil gat soba - **Address**: 20 Gwandeul 4-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon (1st floor) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ## What kind of restaurant is Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong?

There are noodle dishes and rice dishes too, so it's easy to order a variety of things to suit your taste. None of the menu items feel ordinary — they're all put together with Choi Dining's own character 😃 ![Sign explaining the use of 1,000-layer pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-10-1us3m-900.webp) ![Instructions for enjoying the mazesoba](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-11-1kaus-639.webp) Even the hangjeongsal (pork jowl) that goes into the dishes isn't just any cut — they use '1,000-layer pork' for a chewy texture and deep flavor. There's even a detailed note on how to best enjoy their signature mazesoba 😃 My order came out! Shall we take a look at what I ordered~? ## Yukhoe futomaki: too big for one bite ![A plate of Choi Dining's yukhoe futomaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-12-1auli-900.webp) ![Yukhoe futomaki served with sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-13-1mtcv-900.webp) The yukhoe (beef tartare) futomaki has such a solid presence it's hard to fit in one bite, packed with savory yukhoe — filling enough that one piece alone leaves you satisfied. Dip it in the sesame oil that comes alongside and take a big, savory bite — the yukhoe futomaki's freshness and crunchy texture are what make it so appealing. ![Cross-section of a bitten yukhoe futomaki roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-14-1tg9o-900.webp) ## What does the whole bacon cream pasta taste like? Choi Dining's whole bacon cream pasta comes with whole strips of bacon in a rich, thick cream sauce. There's plenty of sauce, so the noodles stay moist all the way through, and sautéed mushrooms, sliced garlic, and onion give the pasta sauce a deep flavor. ![Cream pasta topped with whole bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-15-nxkdq-900.webp) ![Whole bacon pasta in a thick cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-16-1b0yr-900.webp) ![Cream pasta with mushrooms and sliced garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-17-yknhl-m-900.webp) ![Pasta noodles tossed in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-18-1skg0-900.webp) The whole bacon comes sliced into easy-to-eat pieces! It's nicely salty, which pairs really well with the cream. ![Whole bacon sliced into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-19-1jhh6-900.webp) The lean meat and fat are in a good balance, so it's not tough at all — soft and tender. ![Bacon piece with a mix of lean meat and fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-20-10wpe-900.webp) ![Perilla oil gat soba topped with gamtae](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-21-jx1fn-1200.webp) ## Perilla oil gat soba, mixed with gamtae for a nutty finish Perilla oil gat soba is buckwheat noodles tossed with fragrant perilla oil — make sure to mix it well with the gamtae (dried laver) that comes with it. It was my first time trying perilla oil soba, and it was even more savory than I expected, easy to slurp down, and a really satisfying dish. ![Buckwheat noodles tossed in perilla oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-22-uecjg-m-900.webp) ![Chopsticks lifting perilla oil gat soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-23-m85rc-900.webp) It's a great dish to reach for once you're a little tired of richer flavors and want something savory instead. Everyone I know who talks about Choi Dining brings up the soba menu, but besides the regular buckwheat soba, the perilla oil soba is delicious too — you really have to try it‼️ ![Japanese-style table spread at Choi Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta-24-15oqs-900.webp) A go-to spot near Gwanpyeong-dong in Daejeon for a date, a family meal, or a simple gathering with a group — come to Choi Dining and taste something different in Japanese cuisine! ## Where it is - Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong (초이다이닝 대전관평점) - 20 Gwandeul4-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea (1st floor) - 대전광역시 유성구 관들4길 20 1층 - 36.4241863, 127.393145 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D%20%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%84%EA%B4%80%ED%8F%89%EC%A0%90/@36.4241863,127.393145,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-jar-routine/choi-dining-gwanpyeong-bacon-cream-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
