A three-generation neighborhood shop in Cheongju where handmade udon and nostalgic noodle dishes sit alongside a small bakery. The bakery became nationally known after supplying bread for the drama King of Baking, Kim Takgu, so you can have udon, jjajangmyeon, and fresh bread in one simple visit.

Local Tips

  • House-made Seomun Udon and nostalgic 'old-fashioned' jjajangmyeon served alongside freshly baked breads
  • Cozy, three-generation neighborhood shop popular with locals; note the very limited weekday hours (15:00–17:00)
  • Try the drama-famous Kim Takgu barley bread (Kim Takgu Bori-ppang); takeout is available but there is no parking
