    Little spicy for breakfast menu. We had the main menu in the morning. But, some of friends had to go to the restroom after that, because of the spicy in the bean sprouts soup. However, I enjoyed the soup, just do not drink all.

    Definitely a hidden gem beloved by Jeonju locals! We were there 2 times for lunch (11:30 am) and observed a huge turnover - people coming in, eating and leaving! We weren't surprised as it was a very affordable, popular place with atmosphere ๐Ÿ™ What's more, we were extremely touched by how nice the staff were! We were told 2 times how to eat this dish - you have to add nori leaves, a little broth and possibly rice to the eggs and mix it up ๐Ÿš๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฅฃ - YUMMY! Thank you! Otherwise we would surely have done it wrong ๐Ÿ˜

    This restaurant serves Jeonju's lesser known famous dish - bean sprout soup! As this restaurant only serves this dish, the food comes out quickly along with side dishes and an uncooked egg on the side. The bean sprout soup was surprisingly delicious with a rich broth and plenty of squids and bean sprouts. The soup comes piping hot so it's perfect for a cold winter day. There's no rule how you want to enjoy the egg. You can add it into your soup. My Korean friend poured some of the soup with her spoon into the egg to slightly cook it and make it runny and drink it as an egg soup. Delicious! Highly recommend to give this a go!

    Awesome place to visit for soup. The broth is excellent although spicy. Like others say mix the seaweed crushed into the egg with a few scoops of broth. You can ask for less spicy although if you may struggle if you donโ€™t know the language as everything is in Korean. Very tasty and highly recommended for traditional Korean breakfast. Also, try the Moju rice wine. Definitely delicious as it originated in Jeonju

    Great soup. Looked small but is a filler. 4 side dishes with it.

    This is an experience. Locals clearly loved this place - we got here at 11am and it was consistently packed the entire time we were here. The entrance is kind of hidden - there is a door behind the glass covered with sticker. Thereโ€™s basically only one thing on the menu so just take a seat and the food will be brought to you. They will give you the hot soup, an egg in a bowl, and some seaweed. Take a spoonful of rice and bring it over to the egg in a bowl and have some egg with your rice (we learned that you do not drop the whole egg in the hot bowl of soup!). Then have some seaweed on the side or I guess sprinkle some on your rice. I got the non-spicy version and thought it needed a bit of flavour so I added a bit of kimchi to each bit. It is truly an experience!

    delicious and authentic bean sprout soup (hangover soup). lots of bean sprout, the broth was good and comes with a bit of spice and rice. 1. stir the soup (there are spice and rice below) 2. mix the egg with a few scoups of soup, stir 3. mix the bean sprout into the soup with egg recommended

    It was alright. There was a long queue, but we didn't have to wait in line since most of the people were in groups of 4. Honestly, I'm not sure what the big deal is about the bean sprout soup. I suppose it's worth trying once.

    Delicious food. There was a bit of a wait and I was worried when I saw the line but it really didn't take long to get inside and get the food.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Kalguksu is awesome. Check out the taste of perilla seeds. Dumplings are average. Adapted from Gochujar: Perilla seed powder has a deep, earthy taste with a touch of minty, herbal flavor. The powder adds a nutty, grassy & earthy flavor to spicy Korean stews - it's quite a unique flavor.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Hiding inside a local market, this restaurant serves Korean blood sausage that is very flavourful. The most popular way to eat here seems to be sundae (blood sausage) in a spicy boiling broth. The sausage is quite garlicky. The broth also contains some pig intestines.
