How could it possibly not taste good? There are loach soup, marinated crab, meal dishes, and fried items, so even people who cannot eat loach soup can choose something else. The seating is spacious too, with meals available for up to 28 people, so I recommend it to anyone looking for a group gathering spot in Jinjeop. ![Spacious dining area at Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-05-gjcjq-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior for group dining in Jinjeop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-06-1klvv-900.webp) The basic side dishes are lotus root, salad, and kimchi. For extra side dishes such as garlic chives, chilies, and minced garlic, use the self-service bar inside. ![Basic side dishes and self-service bar at Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-07-1ag92-900.webp) ## Blended loach soup with pot-cooked rice After ordering and waiting a little, the Chuojeong loach soup arrived. That day, I ordered the basic loach soup and the sweet pumpkin pork cutlet. ![Ordered loach soup and sweet pumpkin pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-08-1et3e-900.webp) ![A full meal at Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-09-ntflo-900.webp) There are whole-loach and blended-loach soup options, and I ordered the fully blended one. Pot-cooked rice comes as standard, so you can scoop the freshly cooked rice into a small bowl. After scooping it out, you can pour in hot water and enjoy nurungji (scorched rice), which I loved. ![Pot-cooked rice served with loach soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-10-1x37s-900.webp) ![Loach soup meal with pot-cooked rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-11-17uj0-900.webp) It is delicious as is, but it is even better with perilla seed powder, garlic chives, minced garlic, and chilies added to your taste. ![Loach soup with garlic chives and garlic added](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-12-1mczc-900.webp) I love garlic chives and garlic, so I piled them in. I think even people who usually cannot eat loach soup could enjoy it here! Loach soup is not only good for restoring your energy—it is seriously so tasty too, you know?! ![Loach soup enjoyed with toppings to taste](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-13-ou1dg-900.webp) ![A bowl of Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang in Jinjeop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-14-rbblk-900.webp) ## The sweet pumpkin pork cutlet I order every time Loach soup alone felt a little incomplete, so I added the sweet pumpkin pork cutlet. Every time I come to Chuojeong Chueotang, I order it with the soup. It is generously sized, and the cutlet is filled with sweet pumpkin mousse, so it is sweet and delicious. That is why I order it every time. ![Pork cutlet filled with sweet pumpkin mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-15-q35em-900.webp) After a delicious bowl of Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang, I was full and felt completely re-energized, you know?! ![Finishing a meal at Chuojeong Namwon Chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong/jinjeop-chueotang-sotbap-donkatsu-chuojeong-16-e8tn7-900.webp) I had such a pleasant meal over delicious loach soup.
