The writer booked a lunchtime table through Naver Reservation, then filled a bowl with two kinds of NewJin noodles, flat fenzi (sweet potato starch noodles) and a mix of lamb and beef at spice level 2.5, adding egg fried rice and a large guobaorou (sweet and sour crispy pork). Skewers and meat are priced by weight with no extra charges, so at Rahongbang you can take as much as you want — that was the best part. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Parking available, but no validation (about 1,000 won per 20 minutes; paid 3,000–4,000 won in total) - **Reservations**: Naver Reservation available; reserved seating assigned at lunchtime - **How ingredients are priced**: Skewers and meat all charged by weight, with no extra fees - **Malatang spice level**: Ordered level 2.5 (milder than expected, per the writer) - **Malatang price for two**: About 20,000 won (with a generously filled bowl) - **Order conditions**: Malatang and mala xiang guo have a minimum order amount - **Side sizes**: Mini and single-portion sizes available, so solo dining works - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 · ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 · ₩20,000 ≈ $14.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![A bowl of malatang at Rahongbang Malatang Suwon Cheoncheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-01-1pfb4-1200.webp) I'd been craving malatang for a while, so I went looking for a good malatang spot in Suwon and found this place. Lots of repeat visitors and really good reviews, so I headed over without a second thought!! ![Exterior of Rahongbang Malatang Suwon Cheoncheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-02-qprsb-966.webp) ## Is there parking at Rahongbang Malatang Suwon Cheoncheon Branch? Rahongbang Malatang, this good malatang spot in Suwon, does have parking, but they don't cover it — I think it was about ₩1,000 per 20 minutes? Anyway, you'll pay around ₩3,000–4,000. ![Interior of the restaurant packed with lunchtime customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-03-hgiw9-966.webp) ## Lunchtime queues: why a Naver reservation is the answer I visited around lunchtime, and since I'd made a Naver reservation ahead of time, they set aside a reserved table for me. If I hadn't reserved, I probably would've had to wait. It's supposed to be a well-known spot, and yeah, there were really a lot of people. ![Ingredient counter displaying NewJin noodles and fenzi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-04-1je6k-966.webp) ![Self-serve display of malatang ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-05-1kwxq-966.webp) ## Choosing NewJin noodles and fenzi, all priced by weight Looking around, they had the trendy NewJin noodles and tons of fenzi (starch noodle) varieties, plus all the essential malatang ingredients. I fell for the NewJin noodles hahaha, so I piled in two kinds, added flat fenzi too, and even the skewers weren't charged separately — everything's by weight, so I loved being able to pick as much as I wanted, piece by piece. ![A basket filled with NewJin noodles, flat fenzi, and skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-06-1uimz-966.webp) What surprised me was that the meat here is also just charged by weight. Usually it's around ₩3,000–4,000 per 100g, but you can add exactly as much as you want, and you can even mix lamb and beef — we mixed both. ![Lamb and beef section charged by weight](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-07-128rd-966.webp) ![Ordering instructions and side menu board for malatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-08-13izt-966.webp) Malatang and mala xiang guo have a minimum order amount, so you just need to hit that. The sides also come in various sizes, which is nice — there's a mini size and a single-portion size too, so ordering guobaorou for solo dining is totally doable. ![A large bowl full of malatang for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-09-7rwv7-966.webp) ## One malatang bowl for two at about 20,000 won, spice level 2.5 We piled it generously to share one bowl between two people, and it came out completely full in a huge bowl. I think the malatang alone came to about ₩20,000!! The broth had a nice malatang flavor — rich and tasty. ![Level 2.5 malatang broth and ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-10-1t93a-966.webp) The malatang was level 2.5, I think? I bumped it up half a level above Shin Ramyun spice level. But honestly, level 3 would probably be fine too. Maybe because there's plenty of peanut sauce in it, it was milder than I expected (by my low spice tolerance standards). ![NewJin noodles lifted up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-11-1m89o-966.webp) I absolutely love the flat fenzi haha. It has a different charm from the NewJin noodles — both the noodles and the fenzi are chewy and springy, so they're must-add ingredients for me!! ![Chewy flat fenzi lifted out of the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-12-chalp-966.webp) ![Fluffy, well-fried egg fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-13-1lyvm-966.webp) ### Egg fried rice at Rahongbang Malatang Egg fried rice is a dish we both love, and it came out beautifully fluffy and well-fried. I feel like egg fried rice needs to be this fluffy to be good, and this place, even though it's known for malatang, is also a great spot for egg fried rice haha. ![A plate of large-size guobaorou](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-14-1h3pr-966.webp) ### Large guobaorou: how big is it? This is the large size guobaorou. I love guobaorou so much that I debated going with the mini size, but ended up ordering the large one — and honestly, between the malatang, egg fried rice, and guobaorou for two, it turned out to be a lot of food. A few pieces were left over so we packed them to go hahaha, and microwaved them the next day. ![Cross-section of crispy guobaorou with sweet and sour sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-15-13qzs-966.webp) The batter was really crispy! and chewy inside — delicious, and the sauce wasn't overly sour, just the right sweet-and-sour balance that anyone would like. Recommended as a guobaorou spot in Cheoncheon-dong. ![Table set with malatang, egg fried rice, and guobaorou](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin-16-1qqen-966.webp) ## Looking for a malatang restaurant with parking in Cheoncheon-dong, Suwon? We ate completely generously haha. The whole time we were eating, the place was packed with people, and clearly for good reason. It seems to be well known as a delicious malatang spot in Cheoncheon-dong, Suwon, so people keep coming steadily to eat. There were tables with little kids, tables with friends, tables with parents — malatang has really become a national dish at this point, it feels like. It was so nice to eat at a great malatang place again after a while. If you're looking for a malatang restaurant with parking in Suwon's Cheoncheon-dong, this is one I'd recommend. The guobaorou is crispy and delicious, and the malatang broth isn't harshly spicy — it has a rich, nutty kind of flavor!! The xiang guo looks really good too, so I think I'll come back next time to try that. And the fact that skewers and meat are converted to weight with no extra charge was such a great point. Also, the staff were super kind!! ## Where it is - Rahongbang Malatang Suwon Cheoncheon Branch (라홍방마라탕 수원천천점) - 6 Manseok-ro 5beon-gil, Sehwa Plaza 1F Unit 102, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 장안구 만석로5번길 6 세화프라자 1층 102호 - 37.2954187, 126.9827752 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%9D%BC%ED%99%8D%EB%B0%A9%EB%A7%88%EB%9D%BC%ED%83%95%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%B2%9C%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.2954187,126.9827752,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-rice-journal/suwon-cheoncheon-mala-tang-lahongbang-newjin/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
