Ordering right at opening, Cheongmi front-leg jokbal and a side of homemade fruit mak-guksu (buckwheat noodles) came packed in a paper bag, with skin boiled in Solomon's seal salt staying chewy and the meat turning tender from low-temperature cooking. With the side added, the portion filled 3 to 4 people, so Cheongmigwan works well for housewarmings or taking food to your parents' place. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 16:00–23:00 - **Parking**: Free parking at the shopping complex - **Services**: Takeout, reservations and delivery available; corkage allowed (fee) - **Private booking**: Minimum 7 to maximum 80 people - **Menu**: Front-leg jokbal, chive spicy jokbal, tofu-kimchi bossam, half-and-half jokbal, jokbo, special - **Sides**: Chive pancake, mak-guksu, flying fish roe rice balls, steamed egg, Tongyeong raw oysters (seasonal) - **What we ordered**: Cheongmi front-leg jokbal + homemade fruit mak-guksu (takeout) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ## What kind of place is Cheongmigwan Sejong Naseong Main Branch?

It's apparently well-known enough as a jokbal spot in Sejong Naseong-dong that you need to wait during weekday dinner peak hours and weekends. Next time I really need to try the jokbo set in-store haha 😁 ![Cheongmigwan jokbal and bossam menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-08-47i3k-900.webp) ## What's on the Cheongmigwan jokbal menu? The menu includes front-leg jokbal, spicy chive jokbal, tofu-kimchi bossam, half-and-half jokbal, jokbo, and special. Side dishes include chive pancake, mak-guksu, flying fish roe rice ball, steamed egg, and Tongyeong raw oysters (seasonal), plus alcohol and drinks. ![Cheongmigwan side dish and alcohol menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-09-3mheo-900.webp) ## How Cheongmigwan packs takeout in a paper bag Eating in the restaurant is great too, but today, after work, I wanted to enjoy jokbal comfortably in front of the TV, so I ordered takeout for pickup. The packaging wasn't plastic — it was a paper bag! Felt really upscale 😃 I think Cheongmigwan's jokbal packaging would be perfect for bringing to a housewarming or taking to your parents' place!! 👏👏 ![Cheongmigwan jokbal packed in a paper bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-10-ictbs-900.webp) ![Takeout jokbal packed in a paper bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-11-3rd9c-900.webp) ![Cheongmigwan takeout bag brought home](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-12-1ulr9-900.webp) Today I ordered the Cheongmi front-leg jokbal with a side of homemade fruit mak-guksu. ![Cheongmi front-leg jokbal in a takeout container](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-13-1h7gs-900.webp) ![Takeout container of homemade fruit mak-guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-14-8gi8l-900.webp) ![Side dishes including pickled radish and salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-15-p1f7f-900.webp) ![Takeout side dishes including chives and wrapping greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-16-1a7g8-900.webp) I unboxed everything one by one like opening a gift box. Meat-packed front-leg jokbal, a generous amount of mak-guksu, plus chives, pickled radish, chili shredded radish, shredded radish, salted shrimp, radish wrap, ssamjang (dipping sauce), garlic, chili, and wrapping greens — so generous 👏👏👏 ![Front-leg jokbal and side dishes plated at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-17-bw8t9-900.webp) I plated the jokbal and mak-guksu nicely to complete today's Cheongmigwan front-leg jokbal spread 😍 ![Cheongmigwan front-leg jokbal table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-18-11xiu-900.webp) ## How does the Cheongmi front-leg jokbal taste? At Cheongmigwan, a well-known spot in Sejong Naseong-dong, they say the domestic front-leg pork is boiled in Solomon's seal salt roasted in-house, giving this hot jokbal its savory flavor 👍 ![Glossy hot front-leg jokbal from Cheongmigwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-19-tia1e-900.webp) The jokbal was glossy and shiny 🤗 — even just looking at it, you could tell the skin was plump and chewy from the outside in. Before the warmth from the takeout faded, I quickly took a bite. Boiled in Solomon's seal salt, it had a solid base seasoning, and the first texture from the skin was chewy! The meat itself was moist too! Slow-cooked at low temperature for a long time, it had an incredibly tender texture. No gamey smell at all — the kind of taste that makes you go 'mmm, delicious!' without even trying. ![Mushroom liquor served alongside the jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-20-xzc1m-900.webp) Delicious jokbal from Cheongmigwan just isn't complete without a drink, so I clinked glasses with mushroom liquor ~ good food, good drink! ![A wrap of jokbal in wrapping greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-21-85n2z-900.webp) I wrapped up a nice bite in a lettuce wrap and also picked off some meat straight from the bone 😁 It really melts in your mouth — with the base seasoning already there, it's delicious even eaten plain 👍 I also enjoyed the jokbal with the side dishes — this shredded radish is really tasty 🤗 I bet the bossam and bossam kimchi would taste great too ☺️ ![Jokbal enjoyed with shredded radish and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-22-fbj43-900.webp) ![Side order of homemade fruit mak-guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-23-la2i5-900.webp) ![A chopstick-full of mak-guksu noodles coated in fruit sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu-24-hr8h3-900.webp) ## Is the homemade fruit mak-guksu side worth adding? This side of homemade fruit mak-guksu I added — definitely add this one if you order!! The fruit-based sauce soaked well into the noodles, giving them a sweet, savory depth. One bite on its own, one bite with jokbal, then back to the mak-guksu again — I kept picking up my chopsticks in an endless loop 😋 The portion was really generous too, so I had a bit left over. With the side added, I think 3-4 people could enjoy this fully and end up satisfied. Highly recommending Cheongmigwan, a jokbal restaurant in Sejong Naseong-dong 😍👍 ## Where it is - Cheongmigwan Sejong Naseong Main Branch (청미관 세종나성본점) - 23 Naseongbuk 1-ro, Building 803, 1st Floor, Units 152, 153, 154, Sejong-si, South Korea - 세종특별자치시 나성북1로 23 803동 1층 152,153,154호 - 36.4915688, 127.2588189 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EB%AF%B8%EA%B4%80%20%EC%84%B8%EC%A2%85%EB%82%98%EC%84%B1%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@36.4915688,127.2588189,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sejong-side-street/sejong-naseong-front-leg-jokbal-makguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
