Compiled from 7 blog posts read in fullSources →
A mala soup shop on the second floor of the Centa Plaza building in Okjeong, Yangju, the building with a Baskin-Robbins on the ground floor. You fill a bowl at the topping bar and pay by weight; six posts said beef is weighed in at no extra charge. Two posts gave mala soup as starting at 7,000 won. Rice is free and everyone gets one ice cream after the meal. We read 7 posts, dated 12 to 20 October 2026, and all 7 describe a visit. Two posts said the shop opened on 2 October 2026, so every post comes from its first three weeks.

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
- Of the six posts that described the seating, three mentioned dedicated solo seats or a one-person bar. Several also pointed out that the sweet-and-sour pork and the lemon cream shrimp come in three-piece single portions. One post was by a solo diner, who sat at a one-person seat.
- All 7 posts called it clean, though every one was written within three weeks of opening. One said the mala smell did not hang in the room; another saw the owner wiping down the shop throughout the meal.

Three posts described parking in the building's own lot from experience; two said it is free once staff register your car after the meal, and one said the lot had plenty of room. The parking lines in the other four posts were copied from listing blocks.

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

Six posts placed it on the second floor of the Baskin-Robbins building. Two described the route: in at the building entrance, up the elevator to the second floor, then right past a hair salon.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. Two posts took the elevator to the second floor, but none described the shop entrance. That means no one wrote about it, not that there is no step.
We don't know whether the toilet is inside the shop or split by gender; no post mentioned it.
No one mentioned: 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
- Only one of the 7 posts disclosed a free meal voucher. Four carry the identical, off-location hashtag "Sangam mala soup, Sangam-dong Chinese, DMC mala xiang guo", and two share a word-for-word info block, so these may be opening-promotion posts. The patented low-sugar broth and the athlete endorsement are the shop's own claims, repeated by bloggers; we did not count them.
- We don't know how to get there by bus or train; no post mentioned public transport.
- Two posts covered waiting, and neither had to wait. One went at 1 p.m. on a weekend and sat down quickly; another found the room empty, with a crowd arriving right after. One post noted waiting chairs outside the door. All of this was just after opening; we don't know what came later.
- Company is mixed: two went with family (one of them alone with a child), and one each went with a friend, with a husband, and alone. No pattern emerges.
- We don't know what a meal costs: pricing is by weight, and no post said what they paid. The only prices given were mala soup from 7,000 won (two posts), mala xiang guo from 15,000 won, three lemon cream shrimp for 6,900 won, three pieces of sweet-and-sour pork for 4,900 won, and 7,000 won extra for beef tripe (one post each). Three posts called the prices fair; one said the tripe topping was on the pricey side.
- All 7 posts gave the same opening hours, 10:30 to 21:30 with a 15:00 to 16:00 break, but every one copied them from a listing block; none confirmed them in person, and none mentioned a closing day.
- The phone number is split: three posts gave 0507-1445-2586 and two gave 0507-1352-9083. No post said whether reservations are taken.
