유미초밥 청주동남점 Conveyor-belt sushi in Cheongju's Dongnam district where every plate on the belt costs 2,100 won

Compiled from 30 blog posts read in fullSources →

Yumi Chobap's Cheongju Dongnam branch is a conveyor-belt sushi counter on the main road through the Dongnam district, in the unit an Olive Young used to occupy. It opened on 28 June 2026. Every plate on the belt costs ₩2,100 — tuna belly, flounder fin and dessert alike. Only the noodle dishes break that: udon, cold soba and cold udon at ₩6,900, and Kirin Ichiban draught at ₩7,900. A long counter runs down the middle with three or four four-person tables to the right. It opens at 11:30 and closes at 21:30 every day, and closes between 15:00 and 17:00 on weekdays only — weekends and holidays run straight through. Last orders at 21:00. The posts we read cover everything from opening day to 27 September 2026.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What sets it apart

This is a place you queue for. Eighteen of thirty posts write about the line. Those who timed their own wait report ten, fifteen and twenty minutes; those who counted the parties ahead of them say two, two, twelve and thirteen. But not everyone waited — four people who arrived at 11:30 opening sat down straight away, as did one who came at half past noon on a Saturday. Four others note that a queue had formed by the time they left. And the people who did wait agree on one thing: the tables turn fast. "Twelve parties ahead of us — but they move so quickly that the number ahead is not the thing to judge by."
The posts contradict each other about how you join the queue. All agree there is a Tabling kiosk at the door; they do not agree on whether you can take a ticket from your phone. On opening day the app was not running yet but "coming soon". Then two posts from the same day, 9 September, say opposite things: one says remote queueing through the Tabling app works, the other says the kiosk is walk-up only and the app will not take you. Five posts say remote works, one says it does not. We cannot tell which is true now — open the app before you set off. Seven writers saw the indoor waiting seats; one adds that they are not large, and would feel cramped at a rush.
If it is not on the belt, ask and they make it. Eight posts say so; five of them ordered something that way — grilled cuttlefish, sauced shrimp, the buldak cheese prawn. One writer counted forty-five kinds on the menu board and says the belt carries far more than that; three others name things they met on the belt that were not on the board at all. Anything grilled or cheese-topped should be asked for hot — staff will torch it at the counter, and one writer ate two cold plates before anyone told her. As another puts it, most conveyor places will not do this, and where they will, the staff are too busy to ask.
Small rice, thick fish — that is this counter's character. Three writers say it, and all three mean it as praise: a smaller base lets the cut of fish register, and lets you work through more kinds before you fill up. One puts it as a ratio — less rice against the topping, so each plate satisfies more. Two say the seasoning is restrained, and both reach the same observation: your mouth is not salty afterwards. One of them compares it directly with the conveyor place Cheongju has long been known for, and says this is the difference.

Where they disagree

Returning customer	yes 3 · no 16

These are raw counts, not percentages. Someone who did not mention something is not someone who disagreed.

The most ordered dish is yeoneo chobap (연어초밥) — 21 of 30 posts.

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

연어초밥21 ate it
yeoneo chobap₩2,100
The plate most hands reach for. Beyond the plain slice there are onion salmon, glazed grilled salmon, smoked salmon and avocado salmon
Four writers remark on the size of the cut — long, thick, filling the mouth. One dissent: a smoked-salmon plate a writer found disappointing, unsure whether the sauce or the fish was at fault (27526)
새우초밥17 ate it
saeu chobap₩2,100
The widest family on the belt: raw sweet shrimp, boiled, grilled red shrimp, soy-marinated, sauced, egg-and-shrimp, bacon-wrapped, and one loaded with sea urchin and seaweed
Where the people who do not eat raw fish ended up. "I can't do raw, but there was plenty for me — I stuck to the shrimp," one writes (27518). Two name the raw shrimp topped with sea urchin as the best plate of the meal
육회초밥17 ate it
yukhoe chobap₩2,100
The plate this place is talked about for. Eighteen of thirty posts mention it, seventeen ate it. It comes several ways: raw beef tartare, a torched version, one with aged kimchi, and one paired with salmon
The torched version is the one people say they had never seen before: one writer's boyfriend ate five plates of it alone and she calls it "a high-grade beef patty in sushi form" (27521). Two posts say the beef buries the rice; one notes that unlike other conveyor places the beef is not served frozen-cold. One dissents — a salmon roll topped with tartare that she found hard to finish (27524)
묵은지초밥12 ate it
mugeunji chobap₩2,100
Sushi topped with long-aged kimchi — over live-caught fish, over beef tartare, or over tuna
Written about as the palate-reset. "After several plates, one of these and your appetite comes back" (27523). "I don't like tuna, it's too rich — but the kimchi cuts it clean" (27521). Three writers name it their single favourite
광어초밥11 ate it
gwangeo chobap₩2,100
Plain flounder, but also its belly and its fin (engawa) — all at the same ₩2,100
"Tuna and engawa are premium plates elsewhere — here they cost the same," one writer notes (27516). Two praise the thickness and the long cut. One finds the plain flounder and salmon merely fine (27522)

16 more dishes

참치초밥9 ate it
chamchi chobap₩2,100
Tuna, tuna belly and swordfish belly, all on the flat plate price
Writers disagree about temperature. On opening day the tuna was "a bit lukewarm, a shame" (27530, 28 June); September posts call it perfectly thawed and "neither too cold nor too warm" (27512, 27532). Opening day against three months later — we cannot tell whether that is disagreement or improvement
계란초밥9 ate it
gyeran chobap₩2,100
The plain egg plate, plus a thick rolled-omelette version with a little rice tucked inside, and ones paired with shrimp or beef
The plate that converted a sceptic: "I always skip egg sushi. This one shocked me — it melts" (27525). One warns it is seasoned more than a plain tamago (27508). In three posts with children, this is what the child picked
아보카도연어초밥9 ate it
abokado yeoneo chobap₩2,100
Salmon under sliced avocado with the house sauce
All nine writers ate it, and they split. Seven call it nutty, rich, a surprise; two say plainly it was not for them (27515, 27526)
민물장어초밥8 ate it
minmul jangeo chobap₩2,100
Grilled freshwater eel under a sweet-salty glaze
"The smoke comes through, and with a slice of pickled ginger on top it does not cloy" (27536). No one writes badly of it
갑오징어초밥5 ate it
gapojingeo chobap₩2,100
Raw cuttlefish, and a grilled version with cheese and sauce
Four writers reach for the same word: springy. One ordered the grilled version off-menu, made to order at the counter (27514)
불닭치즈새우초밥5 ate it
buldak chijeu saeu chobap₩2,100
A shrimp plate buried in mozzarella. Ask a member of staff and they torch the cheese for you — all five writers describe that moment
If you do not ask, you eat the cheese cold — one writer ate two plates that way before staff told her (27532); another calls it her big mistake of the meal (27533). Two warn about the heat: the sauce underneath is buldak, and one found the spice overwhelmed the cheese (27508)
감태 단새우 안키모 초밥3 ate it
gamtae dansaeu ankimo chobap₩2,100
The limited plate of the day, and the one that recurs: sweet shrimp with monkfish liver and a sheet of sea lettuce. Five posts from early and mid-September name it — it is not on the printed menu
"The best plate of the day" (27516); "grab it the moment you see it" (27533). Other days bring something else — mackerel, scallop with monkfish liver, octopus (27532). We cannot promise it will be running when you go
우동2 ate it
udon₩6,900
Not on the belt — you ask a member of staff for it
Ten posts name it, two say they ate it. "After plate on plate of cold fish, a mouthful of hot broth is exactly right" (27525)
냉모밀1 ate it
naengmemil₩6,900
Cold buckwheat noodles, priced with the udon
One writer's child ate it: she had read that the broth ran thin, but found it right on the day (27527). That earlier complaint is not among the thirty posts we hold
냉우동named in 4
naeng udon₩6,900
The third of the three noodle dishes
Four posts list it on the menu board. Nobody writes about eating it
포장 초밥named in 4
pojang chobap
A separate takeaway list: twelve pieces of flounder, twelve of salmon, twelve half-and-half, or twelve mixed
Not one post gives a price. One says she photographed the takeaway board but does not transcribe it (27527); another lists only the combinations (27525). Nobody writes about actually taking food home

장국(미소된장국)7 ate it
jangguk
Brought to your seat at no charge when you sit down, and refilled if you ask. Thirteen posts mention it
It arrives as you sit, and refills are free for the asking. One writer went in on her husband's word that the miso here was extraordinary, and reports back: it was miso (27524)
튀김4 ate it
twigim₩2,100
Hot fried things come round on the belt: king prawn, snow-crab leg, crab stick, octopus — and fried chicken
Two writers did not pay for theirs — it is what the shop gives for a Naver receipt review (27508, 27517), fried to order and served hot. The rest picked theirs off the belt at the flat ₩2,100. One finds the prawn a little greasy

기린 이치방 생맥주3 ate it
Kirin Ichiban saengmaekju₩7,900
There is draught beer at a conveyor-belt sushi counter
One post gives the price, ₩7,900 (27513). Two drank it and were delighted to find it; a third is saving it for next time (27512)
음료수1 ate it
eumryosu₩2,100
A soft drink costs the same ₩2,100 as a plate of sushi
One writer is not entirely charmed by the rounding: "the sushi is ₩2,100, so they made the drinks ₩2,100 too — from this side of the counter it feels like paying an extra hundred won" (27524)

Parking

4 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park	4 of 30 posts

Four people actually parked. Many more posts say "parking available", but open them and it is a copied block from the shop's map listing — parking, takeaway, waiting area, high chairs, all in one line. What the four who drove there report: the entrance to the underground garage is at the back of the building, the till validates your ticket, and two hours are free once registered. One found it roomier than expected and easy even for a nervous driver. One writer does the opposite — she parks by a nearby park or at the Lotte Mart five minutes' walk away, which is free. She does not say why she skips the building's own garage.

Getting inside

Second floor	yes 0 · no 2 (of 30 posts read)

The licence says one floor and everyone else says another. The registered address reads "137 Junggogae-ro, 2F, units 205–206", but all thirty posts and the Naver map entry put it on the first floor of the Dongnam Building. Two writers say so from their own eyes: it faces the main road at street level and can be seen from a distance, with a banner outside. Twelve more place it in the old Olive Young unit, which is also at street level. Not one post mentions stairs or a lift. We have written it as ground floor, the way the posts do.

Nobody writes about getting in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. Across all thirty posts the words for wheelchair, pushchair, ramp and threshold never appear once. The place is at street level on a main road and easy to spot, but no one looked at whether there is a step at the door. That is not an absence of a step; it is an absence of anyone who checked. Three writers came with children, and none of them mentions a pushchair.

Not one post mentions the toilets. Whether they are inside the restaurant or out in the building's corridor, whether they are separated by sex — across thirty posts the word does not appear. This in a place where people sit at the counter for an hour or two, and where a good many come with children.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

₩2,100 is the price of one plate, not of a meal. The plate counts people report are seven, nine, thirteen, twenty and twenty-three; one party of three managed thirty-five. Only two posts say what they actually paid — under ₩40,000 for two who ate their fill, and ₩90,000 for a family of four. The price has not moved: twenty-eight posts give ₩2,100, from late June to late September, and the same holds for the ₩6,900 noodles and the ₩7,900 beer. Nobody gives a price for the takeaway sets.
One person wrote down how to get here without a car. That post puts the bus stop at the Daewon Kantavill Terrace apartments about a minute's walk away. The other twenty-nine posts mention no bus and no train. Nobody writes about actually arriving by bus — even that one line is written as directions for the reader. Everyone else locates the place by road and building: the main crossroads of the Dongnam district, the old Olive Young unit, across from the Daewon Kantavill Terrace estate.
Nobody has actually seen a high chair. Four posts list one, but all four are copying the same block of amenities off the map listing, and none of those four brought a child. Three other posts did come with children — with an eldest child, with one on school holiday, with one on a day out — and not one mentions a chair. A mother weighing up bringing a baby still on purées only says the room looked comfortable enough to sit in together. What several do say is that there is plenty a child will eat: the egg sushi, the beef sushi, the karaage, and the desserts.
Not one post declares a sponsorship. Five say outright that they paid their own way; the other twenty-five say nothing about money either way. Two did get a plate free for writing a Naver receipt review — a fried set of crab, prawn and octopus in one case, a mixed platter in the other — and a third saw the offer and passed it on to her readers. These are still posts by people who ate here, but two of the three photographed a plate they did not pay for. Read it alongside this: all thirty posts were written within three months of opening, which is a restaurant at its most attentive.
One writer found it hot. A rainy Friday evening, 18 July: three ceiling units and a circulator were running, but with a full room and the rain she found it warm and close — short of comfortable, though it did not spoil the meal. That is the only post that mentions the air conditioning at all. The other twenty-nine say neither hot nor cool. What fifteen of them do say is that the place is spotless because it is new — which is worth holding in mind: they are all describing a restaurant three months old.
