# Cheongju drive-stop restaurant in Namil-myeon: Ojangdong Heungnamjip - By Seohui (https://superchart.com/en/@yuseong-copper-bowl/) - Written Sep 15, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Cheongju, Chungbuk - Sponsored: This post was written based on a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@yuseong-copper-bowl/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@yuseong-copper-bowl/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/index.md) ## In short Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch is a naengmyeon (cold noodle) and hanwoo bulgogi restaurant on Danjae-ro in Namil-myeon, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju, carrying on the tradition of Seoul's original Ojangdong naengmyeon houses. Arriving around 7pm on an evening drive toward Cheongnamdae and Daecheong Dam, the writer ordered hanwoo saeng bulgogi (raw beef bulgogi) for two and hoe bibim naengmyeon topped with ganjaemi (skate) hoe, and the balance of the meat-juice vegetable broth with the crunchy skate was very good. For a tidy Korean spread after a Cheongnamdae or Daecheongho drive, Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch is a safe choice. ## Good to know - **Address**: 721 Danjae-ro, Namil-myeon, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do (Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch) - **Hours**: 11:00-20:40 - **Break time**: 15:30-16:30 - **Closed**: Wednesdays - **Parking**: Available (large dedicated lot in front of the standalone building) - **Ordered**: Hanwoo saeng bulgogi (raw beef bulgogi) for two, hoe bibim naengmyeon with ganjaemi (skate) hoe - **Seating**: First-floor hall, plus a large private room on the second floor *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-01-1j9nj-1200.webp) ## Where is Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch, and what are its hours?

I hadn't had proper hanwoo bulgogi and naengmyeon in a while, so I headed out toward Cheongnamdae and Daecheong Dam, part drive, part food mission. My destination was Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch, which carries on the tradition of Seoul's Ojangdong district. It sits in Goeun-ri, Namil-myeon, which makes it convenient to reach from Cheongnamdae or the Munui IC direction, and the large dedicated lot in front of the standalone building meant easy entry and parking even on a weekend evening. ![Standalone building and dedicated parking lot in Namil-myeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-04-1p1d8-900.webp) When I arrived around 7pm, the spacious dining room was already lively with families and groups out for dinner. The 1st floor hall has high ceilings and generously spaced tables, so it felt calm rather than crowded. There's also a large separate room on the 2nd floor that looked well suited to bigger group gatherings. ![High-ceilinged 1st floor hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-05-1udh3-900.webp) I ordered hanwoo saeng bulgogi (raw beef bulgogi) for two and hoe bibim naengmyeon (cold noodles with skate hoe). ![Table setting with ordered hanwoo saeng bulgogi and hoe bibim naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-06-psayc-900.webp) ## Hanwoo raw beef bulgogi for two, grilled on a copper pan with broth The hanwoo saeng bulgogi at Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch came on a copper-style hot pot grill. Not long after sitting down, neat side dishes arrived along with the raw beef bulgogi — and true to the description of using 1+ and 1++ grade hanwoo, the bright red meat's texture and marbling looked fresh at a glance. ![Plate of bright red raw hanwoo saeng bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-07-edoov-900.webp) The broth channel around the edge of the copper grill was generously filled with mushrooms, bok choy, scallions and glass noodles, and staff laid the bulgogi evenly across the raised center plate. ![Bulgogi and vegetables on the copper hot pot grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-08-14i1m-900.webp) As the meat cooked on the grill, the juices that ran off naturally soaked into the vegetable broth, deepening its flavor. The bulgogi seasoning wasn't overly sweet or sharp — instead, a subtle savoriness from aged soy sauce complemented the meat's natural flavor without overpowering it. ![Bulgogi cooking with the vegetable broth deepening in flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-09-tdz2t-900.webp) There wasn't a single tough bite — the hanwoo went down smoothly — and pairing it with the glass noodles soaked in broth and the wilted scallions worked beautifully together. Even while eating through the meat, spoonfuls of the broth never got old, and I finished every last drop. ![A bite of bulgogi with glass noodles and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-10-7lrq2-900.webp) Midway through the bulgogi, I poured myself a cup of warm bone broth from the salad bar — its rich, savory ox bone flavor cleansed my palate nicely. ![A cup of warm bone broth from the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-11-i2977-900.webp) ## How was the hoe bibim naengmyeon with ganjaemi (skate) hoe? The hoe bibim naengmyeon I tried next really showed off Ojangdong Heungnamjip's identity. Thin, chewy noodles made from sweet potato starch came piled generously with aged skate hoe (raw skate) mixed with seasoning. ![Hoe bibim naengmyeon topped with seasoned skate hoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-12-w2itv-900.webp) The chewy yet crunchy texture of the skate hoe balanced beautifully against the spicy, deep seasoning sauce. Wrapping a piece of the fatty bulgogi together with the noodles was also a fantastic combination. ![A bite of naengmyeon wrapped with bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-13-knc72-900.webp) ## Is Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch worth the drive? From the clean, deep flavor of the hanwoo saeng bulgogi to the hoe bibim naengmyeon that shows off years of craft, this was a meal with no flashy gimmicks — just solid, fundamentals-first execution. ![The bulgogi grill and naengmyeon bowl after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-14-1se72-900.webp) If you're out driving toward Cheongnamdae or Daecheongho and want a proper Korean meal, this place won't disappoint. ![Exterior of Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon-15-1u7ll-900.webp) ## Where it is - Ojangdong Heungnamjip Cheongju Branch (오장동흥남집 청주점) - 721 Danjae-ro, Namil-myeon, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 청주시 상당구 남일면 단재로 721 오장동흥남집청주점 - 36.5674058, 127.5108588 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EC%9E%A5%EB%8F%99%ED%9D%A5%EB%82%A8%EC%A7%91%20%EC%B2%AD%EC%A3%BC%EC%A0%90/@36.5674058,127.5108588,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yuseong-copper-bowl/cheongju-ojangdong-heungnamjip-hoebibim-naengmyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
