Tongkeun Sotttukkeong Dakbokkeumtang Yangju Deokgye-jeom

통큰솥뚜껑닭볶음탕 양주덕계점 Tongkeun means big-hearted or generous, and sotttukkeong is a cast-iron cauldron lid: the braised spicy chicken (dakbokkeumtang) is cooked on a huge lid set over a drum burner beside each table.

Compiled from 21 blog posts read in fullSources →

A branch of a braised-chicken chain on Pyeonghwa-ro in Deokgye-dong, Yangju, next to Rich Mart. Each table has a drum burner topped with a huge cauldron lid; the spicy braised chicken cooks on the lid and is ladled into bowls, and fried rice is made on the lid at the end. The basic dish is 15,000 won per person, alongside aged-kimchi chicken (19,000), chicken with intestines (23,000), whole-chicken noodle soup and soy-braised chicken. We read 29 posts from July 2025 to October 2026; 21 describe an actual meal. One post about a different branch (Minrak) was set aside. Sixteen posts from 20–28 July 2025 form a promotional batch with recycled wording, five of which disclose payment.

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.

What sets it apart

  1. Staff cook the pot at your table and ladle it out. Nine posts, all from August 2025 onward, say staff or the owner did the cooking: one mentions a 12-minute timer, another a 9-minute countdown followed by staff topping up the broth, and another the owner torching cheese onto the fried rice. One post ordered two different dishes and found them cooked together, since each table has only one drum burner.
  2. Side dishes are refilled from a self-serve bar, which seven posts mention. Listed sides include white kimchi, stir-fried fish cake, bean sprouts and radish kimchi; one December 2025 post found the fish cake a little dried out.
  3. Nine posts say portions are large; one says the pot never seemed to empty, another left over half a single fried-rice portion. A November 2025 post notes the giant lid can make the food look smaller than it is.

Posts saying you can park12 of 21 posts

Twelve posts say they parked without trouble (nine of them in the July 2025 promotional batch). A December 2025 post explains the front lot is shared with other shops while the lot behind is reserved for the restaurant.

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

Getting inside

In a basementyes 0 · no 1 (of 21 posts read)

Only one post mentions the floor, saying the shop is on the ground floor; it belongs to the July 2025 promotional batch.

We don't know whether the entrance has a step or is wheelchair- or stroller-accessible; no post mentions it either way.

We don't know whether the toilet is inside the restaurant or separated by gender; no post mentions it.

No one mentioned: Second floor · 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 28 posts we gathered, 7 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

2025-07-272 posts in one day
2025-07-262 posts in one day

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • Opinions on heat are split: ten posts call it spicy, three say it is barely spicy. A couple who avoid spicy food found the base sauce hot, while a December 2025 post found it hardly spicy at all.
  • Seven posts say the sauce is not sweet, but all of them are in the July 2025 promotional batch using the same phrasing; two posts in that same batch call it sweetish.
  • The 16-post promotional batch from late July 2025 repeats the same lines: 100% domestic chicken, parking front and back, summer cold noodles, lunch ginseng soup. The domestic-chicken claim is the shop's own wording and we do not count it.
  • Opening hours have changed. July 2025 posts list 11:00–02:00 daily (last order 01:00); August–November 2025 posts list 11:00–01:00; one December 2025 post lists 11:00–23:50; two October 2026 posts list 11:00–22:00 daily. All are copied from the shop's listing, so check before going.
  • Only one post (December 2025) gives receipt totals: 38,000 won for two portions of aged-kimchi chicken and 46,000 won for two of the intestine version. A November 2025 post says the minimum order is two portions, so the basic dish starts at 30,000 won. Nobody recorded prices for noodle add-ins or sides.
  • No post describes arriving by public transport. The shop's own directions say 15 minutes' walk from Deokgye Station exit 1 or one minute from the Myeongseong/Sinwoo Apt./Rich Mart bus stop, but that is the shop's listing, not a visitor's account.
  • No post mentions waiting. A November 2025 visit in the late afternoon found it quiet, and a July 2025 lunch visit found some tables already taken. We don't know about waits at peak dinner time.
  • Most posts give the phone number 0507-1485-4863; two give 031-861-4860, one describing it as the line for reservations and parking questions. No post describes actually booking ahead.
