My husband and I had two portions of pork octopus stir-fry with extra scallop meat and a sample portion of bulgogi; it was filling for two, though the level-2 spice was milder than expected and the food took a little time to arrive. ## Good to know - **Address**: 105, 23-19 Gyeryong-ro 571beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea; opposite Sanho Apartments - **Hours stated in the original post**: 11:00 AM–9:00 PM; break time 3:00–5:00 PM; closed Sundays - **Parking**: One hour of free parking in the building's parking tower - **Order**: Two portions of pork octopus stir-fry, extra scallop meat, and sample bulgogi - **Spice level chosen**: Level 2, described as Shin Ramyun-level spicy - **Seating**: Two- and four-person tables with wide spacing - **Refillable side dishes**: Perilla leaves and lettuce, shredded radish salad, and pickled onions - **Yeonpotang**: Available only in the evening *as written by the visitor on Sep 2, 2026* Wanting something with a spicy seasoning, my husband and I went to Chongil Nakji, Tanbang branch for lunch. We added scallop meat to the pork octopus stir-fry, eating it in wraps and mixed with bean sprouts and rice. ## Where is Chongil Nakji, Tanbang branch, and is parking available? The restaurant is at 105, 23-19 Gyeryong-ro 571beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, opposite Sanho Apartments. The hours posted when I visited were 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with a break from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays, and the building's parking tower offered one hour of free parking. ![Exterior of Chongil Nakji, Tanbang branch in Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-01-lytl6-900.webp) ![Chongil Nakji exterior opposite Sanho Apartments](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-02-1djmy-900.webp) Outside the building, there were signs for octopus stir-fry and yeonpotang (clear octopus soup). Since yeonpotang was available only in the evening, we could not have it at lunch. ## How were the lunch seating and wait for food? There were tables for two and four, with plenty of space between them, so we could eat comfortably. When we arrived at around 1 PM, about half the seats were occupied, and more customers came in while we ate. ![Dining area and seating at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-03-1ej9r-900.webp) ![Interior table layout at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-04-qr3bg-900.webp) When we visited, the owner was cooking alone, so we waited a little for the food to come out. ## How did we choose a menu for two? The owner's recommended dish was pork octopus stir-fry. There were also special octopus stir-fry, beef octopus stir-fry, and scallop octopus stir-fry, as well as Chongil assorted special stir-fry with octopus, small octopus, beef, and scallops. The assorted special was for three people, so it seemed like too much for the two of us. ![Octopus stir-fry menu at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-05-185n6-900.webp) ![Recommended dishes at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-06-f9nne-900.webp) ![Meal menu selection at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-07-1sa0z-900.webp) We ordered two portions of pork octopus stir-fry with extra scallop meat, along with a sample portion of bulgogi. There was also a special discount notice for takeout when we visited. ![Visit event notice at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-08-1l3a6-900.webp) ![Service promotion notice at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-09-1w5qf-900.webp) There were two events posted when we visited. The yeonpotang service available after five visits was offered in the evening, and customers could receive a sample portion of bulgogi by posting a Naver photo review. ## How were the side dishes and sample bulgogi? First came perilla leaves and lettuce, shredded radish salad, and pickled onions. All were refillable; the shredded radish salad was good on its own as a side dish and also worked well mixed into rice with the octopus stir-fry. ![Side dishes served with a meal at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-10-q7kcw-900.webp) ![Wrap vegetables and side dishes for octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-11-1odmj-900.webp) ![Meal accompaniments at Chongil Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-12-5kgkh-900.webp) ![Foods served alongside the octopus stir-fry meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-13-mvxsc-900.webp) Rice, cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), and the sample bulgogi also arrived. We started with the bulgogi while waiting for the octopus stir-fry; the meat was moderately fatty and went well with the stir-fried onions. Its lightly sweet seasoning made it easy to eat with rice. ![Sample bulgogi stir-fried with onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-14-s3cmy-900.webp) ## How much pork octopus stir-fry with extra scallop meat was there, and how did it taste? With extra scallop meat added to two portions of pork octopus stir-fry, the serving looked quite large at first. They also gave us plenty of bean sprouts to mix with rice. ![Pork octopus stir-fry with extra scallop meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-15-1bro1-1200.webp) ![Pork octopus stir-fry meal with bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-16-82xqi-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with pork octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-17-u51hb-900.webp) With the bulgogi and side dishes alongside the octopus stir-fry, the table looked plentiful. The octopus was plump, and the thin pork had absorbed the seasoning well. I was also happy with how well the extra scallop meat suited the dish. ![Plump octopus in pork octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-18-1kqgt-900.webp) ![Scallop meat eaten with pork octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-19-tvgj2-900.webp) ## How spicy was level 2, and how did we eat it? First, I placed octopus stir-fry and rice on wrap vegetables. Having the octopus, pork, and scallop meat together went well with the leaves. ![Pork octopus stir-fry with wrap vegetables and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-20-rwkhp-900.webp) ![Eating pork octopus stir-fry with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-21-pass7-900.webp) ![Pork octopus stir-fry with bean sprouts and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-22-1aax5-900.webp) In a large bowl, we generously mixed bean sprouts and pork octopus stir-fry with rice. We chose level 2, described as Shin Ramyun-level spicy, but it felt less spicy to me than dishes at other places described as the same level. ![Rice mixed with bean sprouts and pork octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-23-1a82r-900.webp) I also liked wrapping the pork octopus stir-fry and scallop meat with shredded radish salad. At first, it seemed as though we had ordered a lot, but alternating between wraps and mixed rice, we finished it all and ended the meal feeling full. ![Wrap with pork octopus stir-fry and scallop meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus-24-3qcin-900.webp) ## Where it is - Chongil Nakji, Tanbang branch (촌길낙지 탄방점) (촌길낙지 탄방점) - 105, 23-19 Gyeryong-ro 571beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 계룡로571번길 23-19 105호 - 36.3435462, 127.3862141 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%8C%EA%B8%B8%EB%82%99%EC%A7%80%20%ED%83%84%EB%B0%A9%EC%A0%90/@36.3435462,127.3862141,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@place-to-eat-4/chongilnakji-tanbang-pork-octopus/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
