Located in Naedeok-dong, Cheongju, Rijeong has been serving comforting beef soups since the 1970s and is one of the city’s oldest soup houses. Its signature is made with hand-shredded beef, green onion, and garlic only, yielding a clean, mildly spicy bowl; house kkakdugi (radish kimchi) is the classic accompaniment. The restaurant is also known for its milky (ox-bone soup) and thick-cut (boiled beef slices).

  • Open daily 08:00–21:30, offers takeout and reservations — try yukgaejang with the house kkakdugi
