A Jeonju specialty spot famous for muljjajang — a soupy, starch-thickened black-bean noodle made without chunjang and seasoned with soy, chili oil and other condiments for a bright, spicy finish. Locals praise its sharp, satisfying flavor as a handy hangover cure; the muljjajang is the house signature and worth ordering first.

Local Tips

  • Signature muljjajang: thickened with starch (no chunjang) and seasoned with soy and chili oil for a sharp, spicy bowl
  • Comforting, hangover-friendly flavors — popular at lunchtime (open daily 11:30–18:00)
