On a date with a partner trying beef noodle soup for the first time, the writer arrived at opening time and ordered the basic beef noodle soup (in the low ₩10,000s), shrimp dim sum, beef stir-fried noodles and beef fried rice; the chewy noodles and the generously filled shrimp dim sum stood out most. Cheonghwaweon Sinchon won over even a Taiwanese-food first-timer, who wanted to come back. ## Good to know - **Dishes ordered**: Basic beef noodle soup, shrimp dim sum, beef stir-fried noodles, beef fried rice - **Price**: Beef noodle soup in the low ₩10,000s (per the writer) - **Side dishes**: Seasoned cabbage and peanuts (egg soup served with the fried rice) - **Ordering**: Tablet at each table - **Location**: 1F, 10 Myeongmul-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul; a short walk from Sinchon Station - **Parking**: Alley parking in Sinchon allowed 11am–2pm and 3pm–6pm (per the writer) - **Price reference**: ₩10,000 ≈ $7.5 (2026-10-14) *as written by the visitor on Jul 3, 2026* ![Main photo of Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-01-19rfb-1200.webp) I really love dim sum, and even just a few well-stuffed dumplings leave me feeling full and happy. I also love eating beef noodle soup (niu rou mian, 우육면) together with dim sum. While we were figuring out what to eat on this date, my partner said they had never had beef noodle soup even once, so off we went for noodles and dim sum. Let me introduce Cheonghwaweon (청화원) Sinchon branch, a Sinchon Station favorite where you can enjoy beef noodle soup, dim sum, beef fried rice and beef stir-fried noodles as if you were eating them locally in Taiwan! ![Cheonghwaweon Sinchon on the Sinchon street](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-02-x2xid-900.webp) ## Where is Cheonghwaweon Sinchon, and what about parking? Cheonghwaweon Sinchon is on the Sinchon street (Myeongmul-gil) and is only a short walk from Sinchon Station. Being right on the street made it easy to find, and it looks really convenient to reach by public transport too! ![Storefront of Cheonghwaweon Sinchon near Sinchon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-03-1vs57-900.webp) ![Surroundings of Cheonghwaweon Sinchon on Myeongmul-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-04-9ysq3-900.webp) If you come by car, you can use the Sinchon alley parking. We went in my partner's car, and the Sinchon street allows alley parking during set hours, like 11am to 2pm and 3pm to 6pm, so parking was easy. We arrived right at opening time. ![Spacious dining hall at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-05-1kdt6-900.webp) ![Clean seating inside Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-06-1qq94-900.webp) ## Inside Cheonghwaweon Sinchon The inside of Cheonghwaweon Sinchon is very spacious and clean. Even though we came right when it opened, there were already families eating! It's a great place to visit with family. ![Tablet menu on a table at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-07-1vf11-900.webp) ![Tablet ordering screen at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-08-1qyzb-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon Every table has a tablet, so it's easy to sit back and browse the menu. There was so much tasty-looking food that it was hard to choose. After some debating, we added the basic beef noodle soup and shrimp dim sum, then went big with beef stir-fried noodles and beef fried rice too! ![Side dishes of seasoned cabbage and peanuts at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-09-s664c-900.webp) The side dishes were seasoned cabbage and peanuts. It had been a while since I'd had peanuts, and they were so good! I liked how simple the side dishes were right from the start. ![Side dish table setting at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-10-62q8r-900.webp) ### Beef fried rice and egg soup The dishes came out one by one, and the first to arrive was the beef fried rice at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon! ![Beef fried rice at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-11-1cxq1-900.webp) The beef fried rice was loaded with beef and so, so delicious! ![Beef fried rice loaded with beef, with egg soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-12-1glai-900.webp) And the egg soup you can have with the fried rice! It was mild and deep in flavor too. ![Beef stir-fried noodles at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-13-7riw6-900.webp) ### Beef stir-fried noodles: is there a mala flavor? The beef stir-fried noodles at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon have a slight mala (numbing-spicy) aroma. They're packed with beef, onion, bell pepper and other tasty ingredients, which made the flavor even richer. If you love mala, or can't handle it, keep this in mind. ![Basic beef noodle soup at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-14-vp0jm-900.webp) ### Basic beef noodle soup with chewy noodles The noodles in the beef noodle soup here are wonderfully chewy yet soft, so satisfying to bite into! Beef noodle soup is just good any time, isn't it? Even people who don't usually like noodles would probably enjoy this texture. ![Beef noodle soup with chewy noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-15-12m3e-900.webp) ![A generous spread of beef noodle soup, fried rice and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-16-lclbe-m-900.webp) ## Prices and portions at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon The beef noodle soup at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon was in the low ₩10,000s. The table was full to the brim, really generous, right? Even eating this much, it isn't that expensive! And the portions are huge, haha. It would be great to go with a group of friends too. ![Shrimp dim sum at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-17-1qaoq-900.webp) ### Juicy shrimp dim sum The shrimp dim sum here is packed full inside, and the juices bursting in your mouth were the best part. It had been a while since I'd had shrimp dim sum... if you love shrimp dim sum, just order this one, no question. I feel like I could eat three baskets by myself, haha. ![Densely filled shrimp dim sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-18-1j64i-900.webp) ![Beef noodle soup and dim sum meal at Cheonghwaweon Sinchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date-19-138fn-900.webp) ## My partner's reaction to their first beef noodle soup At Cheonghwaweon Sinchon we had a solid, filling meal of beef noodle soup, dim sum, beef stir-fried noodles and beef fried rice. Even my partner, who was trying Taiwanese food for the first time, wanted to come again, so if you like Taiwanese food, please stop by at least once!! ♥ ## Where it is - Cheonghwaweon (청화원) - 1F, 10 Myeongmul-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 명물길 10 1층 청화원 - 37.5574695, 126.937515 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%ED%99%94%EC%9B%90/@37.5574695,126.937515,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pass-side-table/sinchon-beef-noodle-shrimp-dimsum-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
