The eternal office worker dilemma!!!! What should I eat for lunch today? Hahaha, am I the only one suffering with this every single day ㅠㅠㅠ Gwacheon especially feels like it has so few options.. The weather's been warming up lately, so I've been craving something hot! So I went with my team to Cheongnok Minari Restaurant (청록미나리식당), which people say is even better than Deungchon. Cutting to the conclusion: I was seriously so satisfied... being able to eat all the farm-fresh minari (water dropwort) I wanted with unlimited refills made me feel like I properly nourished my body, haha. ## 🍽️ Menu Board ![Cheongnok Minari Restaurant Gwacheon menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-02-1wtoo-966.webp) ## Location, Parking & Reservation Summary - Location: within a 5-minute walk of Exit 10, Jeongbu-Gwacheoncheongsa Station - Parking: Hillstate underground parking available - Restroom: inside the building, separated by gender, clean - Hours: 11:00–21:00 (open daily) - Reservations: available via Naver Reservation! - Seating: 4-person tables, group seating available - Signature dishes: minari hot pot, cold pork belly, and more ## Today's Delicious Record > Ordered: Minari hot pot (1 person) — ₩14,000 / Minari pancake — ₩9,000 Time for an honest review~ ### 🏚️ Exterior & Interior It's located in the Gwacheon Hillstate commercial building, so you just take the escalator up to the 2nd floor~ ![Entrance line on the 2nd floor of Gwacheon Hillstate commercial building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-03-3yjfo-900.webp) Cheongnok Minari Restaurant is tucked inside the same line where you can see a Twosome Place café~ I've put the parking info at the bottom of the post~ ![Menu sign listing minari hot pot and cold pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-04-153ty-1225.webp) The menu had minari hot pot as well as mountain-high duck brisket, minari cold pork belly, and more. Seeing the cold pork belly made my heart waver for a second haha, but I ordered what I'd originally planned — minari hot pot and minari pancake!! ## Unlimited Minari, Mushroom & Cabbage Self-Serve Bar Broth, minari, vegetables, and side dishes can all be refilled endlessly at the self-serve bar~ ![Self-serve bar with minari and vegetables for unlimited refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-05-t0dl9-900.webp) They even have the pricey minari!!! Vegetables are the heart of hot pot, so hats off to the owner!!!! I lost count of how many times I went back for more... hahaha ![Three kinds of hot pot sauces placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-06-q7r9r-3492.webp) Each table also had 3 kinds of sauces perfect for pairing with the hot pot, so you could pick based on your taste haha. The vinegar-chili sauce paired surprisingly well haha ## 🍱 Food Taste Review ![Full table setting of the minari hot pot for one](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-07-1vxfg-3840.webp) ### Minari Hot Pot — ₩14,000 I ordered mine with clear broth! They served it generously in one go with broth, meat, vegetables, kalguksu noodles, and even fried rice. For the hot pot, once the broth starts boiling, you just add the minari, vegetables, and beef and cook them to eat. ![Adding minari and vegetables to the boiling broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-08-io91g-900.webp) After finishing the vegetables and meat, you boil kalguksu noodles in the remaining broth, and finally leave just a little broth to make fried rice or porridge! ![Hot pot broth and accompanying ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-09-b8nw7-900.webp) Once the broth starts boiling, you add the meat and cook it briefly. ![Cooking beef in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-10-jzf38-900.webp) Meat can get tough if cooked too long, so I recommend adding just a little at a time, as much as you're about to eat. ![Lightly cooked hot pot beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-11-1jjrj-689.webp) The longer it boiled, the richer the meat and vegetable stock became, and the flavor and aroma deepened~ ![Hot pot broth boiled with a generous amount of minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-12-wpo13-705.webp) > Ah, once I dumped in tons of minari, the broth was full of that fragrant minari smell!! Broth that would've made me order soju immediately if it weren't lunchtime haha ![Meat and minari dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-13-1w7ia-559.webp) Dipped in the soy-based hot pot sauce, yum hahaha. The minari eaten together is so fragrant and delicious~ ![Second refilled pot with mushrooms, vegetables, and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-14-1invc-900.webp) > Round two begins — refilling mushrooms, vegetables, and broth!! Big eaters, gather here!!! A place that gives unlimited refills even on pricey minari — I've genuinely never seen that anywhere else in the country. I ate a ton of the expensive minari, hahaha. ### Minari Pancake — ₩9,000 ![Crispy fried minari pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-15-ib9wr-900.webp) A minari pancake fried to a crispness that borders on deep-fried! > Crispy? nope / Crunchy-crisp? yep The batter is barely visible — the pancake is packed dense and tight with minari. ### Kalguksu and the Finishing Fried Rice, All Included Once you finish the meat and vegetables, it's time to enjoy the kalguksu (knife-cut noodles)! ![Kalguksu noodles included with the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-16-vwh7c-900.webp) > This wasn't an extra order — the kalguksu and egg porridge/fried rice are all included in the ₩14,000!!! ![Green-tinted kalguksu noodles cooked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-17-1dqhb-900.webp) Even though I was pretty full already, I couldn't skip the kalguksu! The noodles had a green tint and a fragrant taste — I think there was a hint of mugwort flavor, which I loved haha. And now, the final step! You can't leave out the porridge with hot pot haha. ![Finishing ingredients for choosing porridge or fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-18-n84zr-3840.webp) > You can choose porridge or fried rice~ If you choose fried rice, the kitchen cooks it for you directly. I went back and forth, but figured making porridge too would push lunch break too long, so I went with fried rice!! ![Minari fried rice being cooked in the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-19-4ss8p-900.webp) The fried rice ingredients include rice, egg, seaweed flakes, and finely chopped minari~ ![Fried rice ingredients with rice, egg, seaweed flakes, and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-20-1lcoh-900.webp) The owner fries it up nice and fluffy~ The egg added a soft texture, and combined with the salty savoriness of the seaweed flakes and the subtle aroma of minari, it was delicious all the way to the last bite! ![Finished fluffy minari fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok/gwacheon-minari-shabu-lunch-cheongrok-21-1jmk6-900.webp) Cheongnok Minari Restaurant Gwacheon was a satisfying find — fragrant minari and various vegetables at a reasonable price with unlimited refills!
