Landing in Cheongju: what’s for your first dinner?

Arriving through Cheongju Airport? Your first decision can be a simple one: where to eat after dropping off your bags. Pork belly and bulgogi offer two dinner ideas to explore.

Leave time between landing and dinner

Allow for immigration, baggage and the journey to your accommodation. On arrival day, one place you can comfortably reach is more useful than an ambitious list of stops.

Pork belly around Seomun Market

Seomun Market’s pork-belly street is a starting point for a grilled-meat meal. Check the individual restaurant’s hours and ordering requirements. Do not assume every place stays open for a late arrival.

Bongyong Bulgogi is a separate option

Look up Bongyong Bulgogi as its own location, rather than treating it as a restaurant inside Seomun Market. If seasoned meat appeals, compare its distance from your accommodation and current hours.

Interested in a local bottle?

Chamgadeok is a 6% makgeolli described with smooth rice character. Check whether your restaurant carries it. Once your traveling is finished for the day, it is another part of Cheongju’s food to explore if you wish.
