Every time I drove past Sintanjin, this huge building always caught my eye — Baengnyeon Boribap! I kept telling myself I'd go someday, and I finally made it there in person haha.

## Where is Baengnyeon Boribap and is there parking?

Baengnyeon Boribap is a barley rice set restaurant located at 358 Sintanjin-ro, Wa-dong, Daedeok-gu, Daejeon. Its biggest perk is the spacious parking lot haha. You can't see it in the photo, but there's even more parking on the left side!

![Wide private parking lot in front of Baengnyeon Boribap](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-03-rqgr1-900.webp)

Baengnyeon Boribap is a Korean restaurant near Sintanjin, Daejeon, where you can get great value barley rice. But barley rice alone would be a bit plain, right? (Would it?) There are lots of barley rice set options so you can pick to your taste~ This is a Daejeon Korean restaurant everyone, young and old, will love.

![Signage near the Baengnyeon Boribap entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-04-1hzbv-900.webp)

## Inside Baengnyeon Boribap: is it good with kids?

Baengnyeon Boribap has a waiting room and baby chairs, so it's easy to come as a family. If there happens to be a wait, you can sit comfortably in the waiting room, which I really liked~

![Waiting room for customers during busy times](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-05-6r2hg-900.webp)

The interior is also super clean, so it's nice to bring your parents along too : ) Plus, the staff are incredibly kind. It's been a while since I visited a restaurant this friendly, and it made me so happy!!! haha

With baby chairs available, this place is a big recommendation for families! There's also a pork cutlet menu that will win over kids' and toddlers' taste buds, making it great to visit with children~ At this point, is there really any reason not to come here for a family meal?

There's also an à la carte gamjatang (pork bone stew) too~ But when you say Baengnyeon Boribap, you think of the barley rice sets! Let's go take a look at the types of barley rice sets~~

Picked mackerel and pork cutlet for something good for the body~! The pork cutlet is made with hanwoo-grade Korean pork (handon), and lots of reviews say it's delicious, so my picky-eater picked the cutlet~~ There are lots of side dishes to pair with too, so keep that in mind haha.

## How the self-serve banchan bar works

At Baengnyeon Boribap, you bring the barley rice on a large plate at your table and add the mix-in ingredients yourself from the self-serve bar. Isn't the variety of banchan (side dishes) incredible...? Stir-fried eggplant, radish salad, stir-fried zucchini and more — I loved being able to pick according to my taste. The radish salad in particular was so delicious~ haha

![Self-serve bar lined with banchan side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-11-1c9sq-900.webp)

Both white rice and barley rice are available! Once you order, they bring you barley rice first~ If it's not enough while eating, you can just go add more yourself.

![Self-serve bar with white rice and barley rice ready](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-12-14jnr-1200.webp)

I only scooped a little of each so as not to waste any, but with so many kinds, the plate still ended up completely full haha.

![A plate piled high with banchan for mixing with barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-13-1sym7-966.webp)

## How the mugeunji cheonggukjang and mackerel set taste

Baengnyeon Boribap's mugeunji cheonggukjang has aged kimchi mixed in, which made it even tastier!

![Bowl of mugeunji cheonggukjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-14-tedfr-966.webp)

It sits somewhere between cheonggukjang and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), so even people who don't like cheonggukjang should be able to enjoy it easily haha.

![A spoonful of cheonggukjang scooped up](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-15-myvaq-900.webp)

Into the barley rice that came with it, I added the banchan from the self-serve bar along with gochujang (red chili paste) and sesame oil and mixed it all up~!

![Barley rice mixed with gochujang and sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-16-10o7l-966.webp)

![A bowl of mixed barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-17-w7pgt-966.webp)

The mackerel was grilled beautifully golden brown too! It even came with a slice of lemon haha.

There were also wrap greens, so I made a wrap with barley rice and mackerel haha. Take a bite of mugeunji cheonggukjang alongside it and it's a perfect match : )

## Was the Korean pork cutlet set worth it?

This is the mugeunji cheonggukjang + barley rice + pork cutlet set I ordered! I was surprised by how big the portion of cutlet was haha. The owner told me to go easy on the barley rice since the cutlet is delicious ^^

![Full spread of the mugeunji cheonggukjang barley rice pork cutlet set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-20-19w2g-900.webp)

One bite in, I understood why~ Made with Korean pork (handon), it was even tastier and clearly not cheap meat!! Even though it's not a dedicated cutlet restaurant, it had zero off-flavor and was crispy yet tender!! It's also available à la carte, so order the cutlet the kids love haha.

## Sungnyung (toasted rice tea) and what comes after the meal

Baengnyeon Boribap also has sungnyung (scorched rice tea), misugaru (roasted grain powder drink), and dessert snacks ready. I love sungnyung, so it was a nice palate cleanser at the end haha.

![Sungnyung served after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set/daejeon-wadong-barley-rice-mackerel-set-23-1f6jo-900.webp)

And last but not least, misugaru and dessert snacks to enjoy 🤍 Such a satisfying meal at Baengnyeon Boribap in Wa-dong. My mom loved it too since it was healthy but filling~~ If you're looking for a great Korean restaurant in Daejeon, I recommend Baengnyeon Boribap~~!
