Chungju Jjukkumi Restaurant ‘Lee’s Restaurant’🌶️🔥

#TravelItinerary Located near Tangeumdae Park in Chilgeum-dong, Chungju-si, **EC SIC.DANG** is a restaurant that's been the talk of the town. It became famous nationwide after being featured on "Pungja Ttogangjip" (a Korean TV show about a restaurant that features a different kind of food)! 🎥 But experiencing it firsthand is even more captivating than watching on TV. The spacious and clean interior is comfortable enough for families, and there are private rooms, making it perfect for seniors. The interior feels more like a modern café than a traditional restaurant, so you'll be captivated even before you eat! 🌿🪑  🌶️ Our signature dish is definitely the "Grilled Octopus Set"! The combination of grilled octopus and pork belly is fantastic. You can adjust the spiciness, so it's impossible to go above "medium"! You can do this too 🙊 The basic flavor is as spicy as Shin Ramyun, so if you're not a fan of spicy food, I recommend the "not spicy" option 😉    The set comes with a fresh salad, refreshing buckwheat noodles, warm, crispy sweet potato fries, and a scoop of cheese topping. 🍴 The cheese, in particular, is a combination of sweet potato mousse and cheese. It pairs perfectly with the spicy octopus and neutralizes the spiciness! Kids love it, and adults will be impressed. 🍠🧀  The rice is uniquely **turmeric rice** (yellow rice). The yellow color might seem unfamiliar, but mixing it with sesame oil maximizes the nutty flavor! The sesame oil is self-service, so add as much as you like for even more flavor. 🍚 Be sure to bring your own sesame oil to mix with the octopus! 🍛  The food comes out quickly, which is another plus! From side dishes to main courses, everything is prepared in minutes after ordering, making it perfect for busy travel schedules. ⚡ Even if there's a line, the high turnover keeps you waiting. While you wait, you can enjoy ice cream and coffee in the free cafe space next to the checkout counter. ☕🍦  📍 Business Information and Tips • Location: 15 Neungbawoo-gil, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do (329-6 Chilgeum-dong) • Business Hours: Generally 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM, Last Order: 8:00 PM (Pre-Check Recommended) • Parking: Ample dedicated parking available in front and across the street. 🚗 • Waiting Tip: Wait times can be long on weekends and peak lunch hours.
