The visit paired spicy stir-fried webfoot octopus with a pork cutlet, mixing the fiery sauce into rice and cooling the heat with the mild cutlet in between. Between the spicy, savory sauce and the springy octopus, a full bowl of rice at Sonui Son disappeared fast. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Stir-fried webfoot octopus, pork cutlet - **Location**: 273 Uihyang-ro, Units 117 & 118, Hongbuk-eup, Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* Hi, I'm the happy reporter and restaurant collector! Today I want to introduce Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch, a great place to visit when you want a hearty meal in Naepo New Town. I'd heard the spicy stir-fried webfoot octopus was delicious while searching for good Naepo restaurants, so I stopped by — and to cut to the chase, the combination of spicy octopus and rice was really something. ![First photo from the visit to Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-01-rkjso-900.webp) I love webfoot octopus, so I didn't hesitate to order the stir-fried octopus, and I also added a pork cutlet since it pairs well. Having a spicy dish alongside a mild one meant everyone could pick according to their taste, which made me think this would be a good spot for families or larger groups too. ![Table set with stir-fried octopus and pork cutlet together](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-02-1sevw-900.webp) ![Table with spicy stir-fried octopus and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-03-13ytk-900.webp) ![The ordered dishes laid out at Sonui Son Naepo branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-04-l83bq-m-900.webp) ![Full spread of stir-fried octopus and pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-05-628bt-900.webp) ## What kind of restaurant is Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch? Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch is a good place to check out when you're looking for somewhere to eat in Naepo New Town. Its strength is that you can enjoy a variety of menu items built around webfoot octopus as the main event. The stir-fried octopus looked appetizing just from its appearance. The sauce was evenly coated over the octopus and glistened with a shine that basically called for rice. ![Close-up of stir-fried octopus evenly coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-06-1r074-900.webp) ![Glistening sauce on the stir-fried octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-07-l2oa1-900.webp) ![Picking up a chewy piece of webfoot octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-08-e1tk8-900.webp) With the first bite, what stood out immediately was a sauce that was spicy yet full of savory depth. It wasn't just heat for heat's sake — it was the kind of flavor that kept my chopsticks moving, and it went perfectly with rice. I also liked the distinctive chewy texture of the webfoot octopus. It wasn't too tough — the chewiness held up the more I chewed, and it paired really well with the sauce. ## Stir-fried webfoot octopus that empties a bowl of rice ![Stir-fried octopus eaten together with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-09-nqnmz-900.webp) ![Spicy octopus piled on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-10-prn15-1200.webp) As expected, stir-fried octopus really tastes best eaten with rice. Piling octopus on top of rice and adding a bit of the sauce brought the spicy flavor and the savory rice together in a way that just kept me eating more rice. In particular, since the sauce itself was so tasty, I was more satisfied eating it with rice than eating the octopus alone. Personally, with dishes like this I often think the portion looks plenty at first, but once I actually start eating, I end up finishing a whole bowl of rice in no time — and that's exactly what happened this time. So the phrase 'rice thief' really fits this dish. ## The pork cutlet ordered alongside the octopus ![The crispy pork cutlet ordered alongside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-11-1lpyf-900.webp) I also tried the pork cutlet ordered along with the stir-fried octopus. Taking a bite of the cutlet after the spicy octopus completely changes the mood. The crispy coating and mild, tender pork cutlet were great for cutting through the heat in between bites. I thought this combination would work especially well if you're visiting with someone who loves webfoot octopus and someone who can't handle spicy food that well. One person can enjoy the spicy stir-fried octopus while the other has the pork cutlet, so having that range of menu options was a nice plus. ## Looking for a filling meal in Naepo New Town? ![A hearty meal at Sonui Son in Naepo New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-12-1jzfs-900.webp) This visit to Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch left me wanting to come back whenever I'm craving spicy stir-fried octopus. The chewy texture of the octopus paired beautifully with the savory sauce, and above all, it was a dish that really shined when eaten together with rice. ![Alternating bites of stir-fried octopus and pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice/sonuison-naepo-jjukkumi-spicy-rice-13-16j04-900.webp) Adding the pork cutlet on top meant I could alternate between spicy and mild, which made for an even more satisfying meal.
