The mild-spice cheese bomb jjukkumi (₩15,000 per person, minimum two people) came out pleasantly spicy and mixed perfectly with rice and side dishes, and the potato pancake (₩5,000 for three) was good enough that every table should order one. With ample basement parking in the building, it's a solid pick for office lunches or family meals in Naepo New Town. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Chungnam Provincial Office and Provincial Office of Education, Seum Pellipia building - **Parking**: Basement parking in the building, plenty of spots - **Hours (Sat–Sun)**: 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:30, no break time) - **Hours (Mon–Fri)**: 11:00–22:00 (last order 15:00 & 21:30, break time 15:30–17:00) - **Cheese bomb spicy octopus**: ₩15,000 per person, minimum 2 people, spice level adjustable, rice included - **Potato pancake**: 3 pieces for ₩5,000, comes with nacho sauce - **Review event**: ₩1,000 off per person per review; with discount, spicy octopus stir-fry is ₩12,000 per person - **Solo dining options**: Noodle dishes and pork cutlet - **Seating**: Mostly 4-person tables, can be combined for groups and gatherings *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I had some business near Naepo New Town in Hongseong/Yesan and stopped by this restaurant — figured I'd share it! They recently opened a branch in Dangjin too, on September 9th I think? [Sonui Son] is a chain headquartered in Daejeon that's been expanding nationwide. This was my first time trying it... ## Parking and location — 3 minutes from Chungnam Provincial Office 🅿️ There's basement parking in the building, so parking was easy. Plenty of spots too~! It's the Seum Pellipia building. The restaurant is a 3-minute walk from the Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Office and the Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Office of Education. ![Exterior of the Seum Pellipia building housing Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-01-18ar9-900.webp) ![Restaurant entrance with hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-02-1cde8-900.webp) ## Hours and break time > ✅️ Hours reference! > ✔️ Sat–Sun: Opens 11am ~ Closes 9pm (last order 8:30pm, no break time) > ✔️ Mon–Fri: Opens 11am ~ Closes 10pm (last order 3pm, 9:30pm / break time 3:30pm ~ 5pm) For the restroom, grab tissue and the door code and use the shared building restroom~ ![Interior of the restaurant with 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-03-1184i-900.webp) ![Dining hall with tables that can be combined together](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-04-1wm5g-900.webp) ## Seating — good for groups and families? Seating is mostly 4-person tables, and there are quite a lot of them, so group meals and work dinners seem possible. Many tables can be pushed together too~ I saw quite a few big families with kids coming in! The system lets you check the menu and pay at the same time, which is convenient. ![Order screen combining menu selection and payment](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-05-tpr39-900.webp) ## Menu and an ordering mistake to avoid The menu has stir-fry dishes and hot plate dishes. Not knowing better at first, I ordered a stir-fry and then also pressed add hot-plate fried rice... oops. I clearly gave away that it was my first time — plain rice comes included by default but I didn't realize that, so I also added extra rice haha, whoops. One drawback: all the main jjukkumi (spicy octopus) dishes require a minimum of two people. Solo menu options are limited to noodle dishes and pork cutlet..! ![Sonui Son menu board listing stir-fry and hot-plate dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-06-1k742-900.webp) There's also a ₩1,000-off-per-review event~ With the review discount applied, the spicy octopus stir-fry comes to ₩12,000 per person! ![Sign for the review event offering ₩1,000 off per review](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-07-1symz-900.webp) Since they cook to order, I expected it to take a while, but it came out earlier than I thought. ![Table set after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-08-12thv-900.webp) ![Miso soup and basic side dishes served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-09-w1q5t-900.webp) ## The basic table setting and side-dish bar You get water, miso soup, vegetable salad, radish strips, bean sprouts, seaweed, and cooked cabbage by default — I have no idea what the sauce on the vegetable salad was, but it was so fresh and delicious... I forgot to ask about it, darn it. ![Vegetable salad served with a fresh-tasting sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-10-wi7xv-900.webp) You can get extra side dishes from the self-serve bar. ![Self-serve bar for extra side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-11-1robl-900.webp) ## Cheese bomb spicy octopus — mild spice that's still pleasantly hot - ▪️Cheese Bomb Spicy Octopus (Jjukkumi) - ✔️ ₩15,000 per person (minimum 2 people) - ✔️ Mild/medium/hot spice levels available - ✔️ Rice included by default ![Hot plate of cheese bomb spicy octopus piled with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-12-10pyo-1200.webp) I'm weak with spice so I ordered mild, and it was a pleasantly spicy level! Recommended 👍 True to the cheese bomb name, there was plenty of cheese — enough that you won't need to fight over it (haha). Scoop the rice and side dishes into a bowl, mix with the octopus, and you get a delicious bibimbap (mixed rice). ![Rice and side dishes mixed with spicy octopus into bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-13-1h7g2-900.webp) ![Bowl of spicy octopus bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-14-1mh6n-900.webp) Mouth-watering... it's a delicious spicy flavor!!! I think this is already a known lunch spot for office workers in Hongseong Naepo New Town. Probably packed on weekday lunches..🤧 ![A bite of spicy octopus lifted up with melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-15-2e56z-900.webp) ![Bite of spicy octopus placed on lettuce salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-16-1ld6n-900.webp) It's also great wrapped in the lettuce salad. ![Plate combining lettuce salad and spicy octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-17-f5ity-900.webp) ## Hidden menu item: potato pancake, one per table - Another hidden menu item at this restaurant ▪️Potato Pancake - ✔️ 3 pieces, ₩5,000 - ✔️ Comes with what I think is nacho sauce, included by default - ⭐️⭐️⭐️It's just really damn good. Order one per table without fail.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ![Three pieces of potato pancake served with nacho sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-18-myuzq-900.webp) Wrapping the potato pancake around octopus is also delicious~ At first I thought the portion looked small, but we kept eating and it kept going, so the portion was actually pretty generous. ![Wrapping spicy octopus in potato pancake to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-19-14njt-900.webp) Aside from a bit of leftover rice from ordering one too many bowls and splitting three between us, we cleared the table 👍 ![Allergy notice posted in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon-20-ygaw5-900.webp) ## Summary — a solid lunch pick in Naepo They're sweet enough to even post an allergy notice. If you're looking for a Korean restaurant in Naepo or specifically a spicy octopus place in Naepo, I recommend it 👍👍 The owner was kind and I left with a satisfying meal. They're running a grand-opening event in Dangjin with 30% off spicy octopus stir-fry from the 10th through the 12th following the September 9th opening, so I'm planning to check out the Dangjin branch of Sonui Son next haha. ## Where it is - Sonui Son Hongseong Naepo New Town Branch (손의손 홍성내포신도시점) - 117, 118 Uihyang-ro 273, Hongbuk-eup, Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 홍성군 홍북읍 의향로 273 117호, 118호 - 36.6584369, 126.6815957 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%90%EC%9D%98%EC%86%90%20%ED%99%8D%EC%84%B1%EB%82%B4%ED%8F%AC%EC%8B%A0%EB%8F%84%EC%8B%9C%EC%A0%90/@36.6584369,126.6815957,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yuseong-meal-ticket/naepo-jjukkumi-cheese-bomb-potato-jeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
