Mild braised bone stew with cheese sarie in Siheung: Cheongchun

A Siheung restaurant near Jeongwang Station: Cheongchun Bulbbyeojjim & Gamjatang

For a late weekend lunch, I went for gungjung bbyeojjim (royal braised bone stew) at Cheongchun Bulbbyeojjim & Gamjatang near Jeongwang Station~ It's a bone-dish specialist serving gamjatang (pork bone soup), bulbbyeojjim (spicy braised bone stew), gungjung bbyeojjim, and bbyeo haejangguk (bone hangover soup) — great for a meal, a drink, or when you need to cure a hangover.

Location & Parking

📍Jeongwang-dong 2326-1, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do. Cheongchun Bulbbyeojjim & Gamjatang Jeongwang Station branch is right outside Exit 1 of Jeongwang Station, so it's easy to reach by public transit. It's on the 1st floor of the Siheung Employment Welfare Plus Center building. I visited on a weekend and there was plenty of parking, so I could park comfortably and walk right in.

Business Hours

⏰ Hours Mon–Fri 07:00–20:55 (last order 20:25) Sat–Sun 08:00–21:00 (last order 20:30) Open from 7am on weekdays and 8am on weekends — good for a morning hangover-cure visit too.

Store Atmosphere

Right across the crosswalk from Jeongwang Station Exit 1, so it's a convenient meeting spot — Cheongchun Bulbbyeojjim & Gamjatang Jeongwang Station branch.

There are plenty of gamjatang or bbyeo haejangguk places around where I live, but restaurants that specialize in bbyeojjim are rare, so I went in with high expectations~

You get an extra ₩5,000 off if you order the gamjatang for takeout, so takeout might be worth considering too.

The restaurant is a bit small, with six 4-person tables and one 2-person table, so I'd recommend booking ahead via Naver or by phone. I visited around 2:30pm on a weekend and customers kept steadily coming in, plus there were a lot of delivery orders too.

The chairs at each table have built-in storage, handy for stashing coats or belongings.

Every table has small plates, sauce, cups, and a bottle opener set out, so it's easy to use. There's also a phone charging station, handy in a pinch.

You can also get a free drink through the Naver receipt review event, just so you know~

For sides, you can order steamed egg, spicy oyster mushroom stir-fry, spicy kim-mari, or fried mandu, each ₩4,000.

Banchan (side dishes) included pickled radish, seasoned chives, napa cabbage kimchi, and cubed radish kimchi.

Gungjung Bbyeojjim Medium ₩39,000 + Cheese Sarie ₩2,500

The bbyeojjim comes out fully cooked and ready to eat, but it takes a bit longer than gamjatang. It took about 15 minutes for the dish to arrive.

The medium size of gungjung bbyeojjim is enough for 2–3 people, and since I went with my husband, we ordered generously. It's quite a lot for two people, so unless you eat a lot, the small size should be plenty!

You can add sarie (extra toppings) depending on your taste, so I added the cheese sarie~

Even the basic sarie was generous, loaded with rice cake, wedge potato, wide glass noodles, quail eggs, and enoki mushrooms.

This steamed egg comes free with an order of gungjung bbyeojjim. It was bouncy and soft.

The bones were big and had a lot of meat on them, and it came off easily and softly, so it was easy to eat. The meat was well seasoned so it tasted good on its own, and it also went well dipped in mustard sauce.

Gungjung bbyeojjim tastes similar to soy-braised jjimdak — sweet and salty, a flavor anyone of any age can enjoy without worry. The lightly reduced broth is also great mixed with rice.
