Do you want to eat... real Dalkkalbi? Do you know why many Dalkkalbi restaurants are named “Chuncheon Dalkkalbi”? It’s because Chuncheon citizens invented Dalkkalbi.
So I will help you find good restaurants in Chuncheon. Cheuncheon is further east than Seoul, but it is close and it recently became easy to go there. At Sangbong Station (line 7), You can take the Kyung Chun line. The line’s last stop is ChunCheon station. It takes about 1 hour. If you take the express train, it takes less. (It comes one time an hour)
If you go to ChunCheon, it is better not to go to the famous Dalkkalbi Street which is downtown.
I will introduce two restaurants. Only local people know about them. You need to wait but it is worth it.
The first place is “Tong Na Mu Jip”. This place is so popular that when we went there, we waited almost 2 hours. My advice is to order only Dalkkalbi. That is amazingly good but the side food like the noodles is not as good. You can see the pictures if you click this link http://www.beer2day.com/839
HOW TO GO THERE: Take the Kyung Chun line at Sangbong station and get off at the last stop named ChunCheon Station. The bus stop is across from the station. Take the 12, 12-1 or 11 bus. And get off at Wis-Saem-Bat-Jong-Jeom(윗샘밥종점) station. You can see it there.
The next Dalkkalbi restaurant is “1.5”. This means they serve 1.5 times more. Also you need to wait and many local people recommend there. My advice is don’t order the same as you would order in Seoul. They serve a lot, like they say. You can see the pictures if you click this link

HOW TO GO THERE : Take a taxi from ChunCheon station and tell the taxi driver “ Hu-Pyeo-Dong IL Jeom o Ga Ju Se Yo” (후평동 일점오 가주세요) All drivers know the restaurant. The taxi costs about 5,000won.
If you are crazy about Dalkkalbi, you should try the real one in ChunCheon.
