About

Spacious standby in Yatap serving soothing Jeonju-style bean sprout hangover soups and rich pollack stew in clear or spicy broths.

Tucked inside the bustling food alley near Yatap Station, Chorok Jibung Jeonju Myeongga operates from a standalone building recognizable by its spacious dedicated parking lot. Inside, the dining room is broad, bright, and briskly efficient, drawing both early risers nursing morning hangovers and late-night diners seeking restorative hot broths. The kitchen anchors its menu in classic Jeonju hangover soups and pollack dishes. For morning relief, regulars order the bean sprout soup, particularly the squid-loaded ojingeo kongnamul haejang-guk. Unlike delicate clear broths, the bowl arrives bubbling with a seasoned red chili paste base, offering a sharp, invigorating punch rounded out with side additions of chopped cheongyang peppers and salted shrimp. Packets of seasoned seaweed accompany the soup, adhering strictly to Jeonju tradition. Later in the day, tables shift their focus to dongtae (pollack). Diners flying solo get individual earthenware pots of dongtae-tang, while pairs and groups gather around tabletop gas burners for the communal dongtae jeongol. Both preparations can be ordered spicy or as a crystal-clear, non-spicy jiri. The jiri is intensely savory, packed with generous chunks of tender pollack flesh, sea squirts (mideodeok), and clams that yield a brisk seafood finish. For the spicy jeongol, diners simmer the fish alongside plump pollack roe, dipping tender morsels into wasabi-laced soy sauce. The banchan service punches above typical soup-house standards and features a self-serve refill bar. Trays come loaded with stir-fried dried anchovies, radish kkakdugi, lightly dressed young summer radish kimchi (yeolmu), seasoned cucumbers, and mung bean sprouts tossed with cucumber slices. Open from 7:30 a.m. into the late evening, this no-nonsense 분당 staple remains a dependable sanctuary whenever deep exhaustion calls for bubbling earthenware and briny seafood broth.
