## In short

Cheongwon Restaurant: Cooking Budae-jjigae, Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch is a budae-jjigae (army stew) restaurant on Dujeongsangga 4-gil in Seobuk-gu, Cheonan. Arriving with the kids right at the 11am opening meant a free giant egg roll, served alongside Songtan budae-jjigae at 11,000 won and a pork cutlet at 9,000 won. With baby chairs and a mild cutlet on the menu, Cheongwon Restaurant is an easy lunch stop for children who can't eat spicy food.

I had errands in Cheonan on a weekend morning, and while looking for an early lunch spot in Dujeong-dong, I ended up at Cheongwon Restaurant.

Budae-jjigae (army stew) can be too spicy for kids, but this place also has pork cutlet on the menu, so I decided to give it a try. :)

## Arrive before 11:30am for a free giant egg roll

> Go early and get a free egg roll~

We walked in right at the 11am opening.

We had no idea about the event, so getting a giant egg roll as a freebie was such a bonus — great to share with the kids, haha.

![Notice for Cheongwon Restaurant's egg roll service event](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-05-1d2l6-859.webp)

Even if you can't make it early, you can get the same egg roll by participating in the Naver review event — worth keeping in mind if you want one, haha~

![Naver review event notice and interior of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-06-1i7gs-652.webp)

There are baby chairs set up in the restaurant too, so it shouldn't be uncomfortable to bring young children along.

## Cheongwon Restaurant menu and prices: Songtan budae-jjigae and pork cutlet

![Small, tidy dining hall seating at Cheongwon Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-07-ycds1-675.webp)

The place has a small, tidy vibe. People kept coming in after us — some ate in, but a lot were getting takeout too.

![Menu board at Cheongwon Restaurant showing budae-jjigae options](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-08-ckh3l-609.webp)

![Prices for Songtan budae-jjigae and Cheongwon budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-09-1ma5c-585.webp)

There are basically two main options: the classic Songtan budae-jjigae and the spicier Cheongwon budae-jjigae, plus a pork cutlet on the side for the kids.

> Songtan budae-jjigae ₩11,000
> Cheongwon budae-jjigae ₩12,000
> Pork cutlet ₩9,000

We ordered the milder Songtan budae-jjigae and the kids' pork cutlet.

![Side dishes set out first on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-10-zem9c-640.webp)

After ordering, the side dishes were set out first, and then the budae-jjigae came out with the lid still on.

![Songtan budae-jjigae served with the lid still on](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-11-1j2b0-642.webp)

They put it right on the burner, and curious, I peeked underneath — it was packed with ham and other ingredients.

But — the tip for enjoying Cheongwon properly is not to lift the lid until the staff comes to stir it for you, haha.

![Budae-jjigae left with the lid on until staff came to stir it](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-13-4q54c-675.webp)

The staff came by periodically to check on it, so we could just relax and wait.

![Giant egg roll with ketchup lettering on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-14-2o6xb-675.webp)

The egg roll came out too, and it was kind of cute that they'd written 'Cheongwon' on it in ketchup, haha — the kids thought it was fun and loved it.

## Can kids eat the Songtan budae-jjigae?

For someone who can't handle spice, Cheongwon's Songtan budae-jjigae was mildly spicy. Once it finished cooking, I tried a spoonful and, as a spice-wimp, I did feel a bit of heat... haha (my husband said it wasn't spicy at all, haha).

![A ladleful of fully cooked Songtan budae-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-15-vsk7j-675.webp)

For the kids, we scooped out just the ham without broth and put it over rice — they said this level was manageable and ate it happily.

![Ham from the budae-jjigae served over rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-16-1l47t-675.webp)

If your kids can handle slightly spicy kimchi, they should be fine with the Songtan budae-jjigae too.

> If you want a spicier budae-jjigae, go with the Cheongwon budae-jjigae for more heat~

## The tender pork loin cutlet at 9,000 won

![Pork cutlet served with french fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-17-1cprc-675.webp)

![A plate of Cheongwon Restaurant's kids' pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-18-bi9wc-675.webp)

A little later, the pork cutlet came out with french fries on the side. The kids went straight for the fries, haha.

We cut the cutlet into bite-size pieces to try, and the meat was really tender! Even kids who usually skip tough meat ate it happily and said it was good, haha.

![Pork cutlet cut into bite-size pieces with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-19-9nqso-582.webp)

I found it even tastier dipped in the sauce that came with it! We ordered the cutlet just in case the budae-jjigae was too spicy for the kids, but they ended up eating the stew better than expected — so I think I ended up eating most of the cutlet myself, haha.

## Unlimited rice, ramyeon noodles and side dishes

![Self-serve bar for rice and ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-20-1m8s0-675.webp)

If you run low on side dishes, you can grab more from the self-serve bar, and you can help yourself to as much rice and ramyeon noodles as you like without hesitation~

![Budae-jjigae boiled again with added ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch/cheongwon-sikdang-dujeong-budaejjigae-kids-lunch-21-f9qhr-675.webp)

After eating through some of the ham, we added ramyeon noodles and boiled it again — the kids ate that up well too.

They also brought extra broth ahead of time, so we could top it up right away whenever we needed more.

## Is Cheongwon Restaurant worth a visit with kids?

Cheongwon's budae-jjigae wasn't overly salty or heavily seasoned, so we left without feeling thirsty or that heavy, greasy aftertaste — the meal felt clean overall.

There's a coffee vending machine near the entrance too, so you can grab a quick coffee on your way out.

> With baby chairs and separate kid-friendly options like the egg roll and pork cutlet, this is a place even kids who can't handle spicy food can enjoy along with everyone else.
