Cheonyuhyang Marahyang Sot
천유향마라향솥
About
Build-your-own mala stew, weighed by ingredient, in a clean ten-table Bupyeong room.
The namesake marahyang sot (마라향솥) is built from a bowl of ingredients you choose yourself, then weighed by the owner and cooked in a stewed, mala-seasoned sauce. It arrives hot and stays moist through the last bites. The flavour is numbing and spicy, with a smoky edge; it has enough depth to keep the heat interesting, though some diners find the seasoning salty or oily. The menu charges by weight: marahyang sot is ₩3,500 per 100 g, while mala tang (마라탕), the soupier option, is ₩2,500 per 100 g. Start at the self-service ingredient bowls and pick what you actually want to eat; the final weight determines the cost, so a small appetite can keep the bowl modest. There is also a self-service bar for sauces and side dishes. For the table, 꿔보라우 (₩18,000) is a crispy sweet-sour accompaniment; reviews split between calling it good and ordinary. Other menu choices include 가지밥 (eggplant rice, ₩8,000), 연변찹쌀순대 (₩10,000) and 멘보샤 (₩5,000). The menu also lists mala crayfish and a large crayfish-tail portion, each ₩35,000. This is a small, clean room with about ten tables, rather than a place to spread out for a long meal. It draws friends, families and late-night diners, and staff are described as friendly. The catalog lists opening hours every day from 12:00 to 23:50, but reported last orders vary from roughly 22:30 to 23:20, so arrive well before closing if you want a full meal. There is no parking. Come hungry enough to share, especially if you want to try several ingredients and sides; a two-person meal is often reported at ₩30,000–₩60,000, though that is not a fixed set price. It suits anyone after a hands-on mala dinner in Bupyeong, but the adjustable bowl does not guarantee a mild one: the sauce can run salty, oily and properly numbing, and ingredient freshness has been uneven in some reports.
