콩밭에 진도본점 Jindo soft-tofu house

Korean · Jindo-gun, Jindo-eup

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-09-30 · Compiled by Gilpost

Kongbate is a soft-tofu house on Namdong 1-gil in Jindo-eup, within walking distance of the island's intercity bus terminal. The registered name is the short one; the sign and the writers use the longer 콩밭에 진도본점. The menu is built on seven soft-tofu stews, each served with a stone pot of rice cooked to order, and the prices run to just two figures: ₩10,000 and ₩11,000. Two signs, one restaurant — one advertises the tofu, the other braised pollack, and inside they are a single room split by a partition. It opens at half seven or eight in the morning, which the writers keep pointing out is rare on this island. Closed Wednesdays. The posts we read run from November 2024 to August 2026.

The basics

1 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

Of 12 posts: 5 wrote Daily 08:00–20:30.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

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

What people order

The most ordered dish is haemul sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap (해물순두부 + 영양돌솥밥) — 10 of 24 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

What to order

• 해물순두부 + 영양돌솥밥10 ate it
  haemul sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩11,000

  The one most people order. Four posts report **a small abalone in the bowl**, one counting two the size of a spoon; another found oysters. The broth is red but the writers agree it is not hot

  Four posts give ₩11,000 and two give ₩22,000 for two. One dissents: **do not come for the seafood** — "the abalone is tiny and there is not much else in it"

• 하얀순두부 + 영양돌솥밥5 ate it
  hayan sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  The plain one, with no chilli: clear soft tofu stew plus a stone pot of rice cooked to order. Several posts say the tofu is ground on a millstone in the shop each morning. **It arrives barely seasoned** — two writers spooned on the soy sauce that comes as a side dish. Two mention clams and vegetables in it

  ₩9,000 in a November 2024 post, ₩10,000 in every post from May 2025 to June 2026. Two writers say it suits children

• 청국장 + 영양돌솥밥5 ate it
  cheonggukjang + yeongyang dolsotbap₩10,000

  The dish this shop's readers most often tell you to order instead. Three posts say **the funk is mild** — one calls it the best cheonggukjang they have eaten out, and regrets having ordered the soft-tofu stew alongside it

  Four posts give ₩10,000. One is careful to say it does not taste like ordinary doenjang stew

• 소고기순두부 + 영양돌솥밥4 ate it
  sogogi sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩11,000

  The beef version, red in the bowl. One writer **expected heat from the colour and found almost none**, and wished they had ordered the seafood or the cheonggukjang instead

  ₩11,000. One writer found it clean and bracing; another found it simply hard to place

• 햄치즈순두부 + 영양돌솥밥3 ate it
  haem chijeu sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩10,000

  The one that leans towards budae-jjigae. One writer notes the ham is hidden in the stew and the cheese has melted out of sight. Another calls it the most aggressive thing on the menu — though that writer was watching friends eat it, not eating it

  ₩10,000. All three tables that ordered it were happy with it

• 코다리찜2 ate it
  kodari-jjim₩36,000 set · ₩60,000 set

  **This is why the shop has two signs.** One says soft tofu, the other says braised pollack, and three writers explain that inside they are one room divided by a partition. Sold small, medium and large; a medium fed three comfortably. **You can pick the heat level** — one writer had ordered it hot once before and could not finish it

  One post gives the range as ₩36,000 to ₩60,000. Another, eating tofu stew, looked around and noted that **this is what the local tables were ordering**. You can finish with fried rice, and the one writer who did says the kitchen uses fresh seasoning rather than what is left in the pan

• 굴순두부 + 영양돌솥밥2 ate it
  gul sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩11,000

  Soft tofu stew with oysters. One writer notes it as something to come back for when oysters are in season

  ₩11,000. In both orders it was shared at a table that also had the seafood version

• 냉콩국수2 ate it
  naeng kongguksu₩9,000

  **Only ever written about in summer** — the two posts that order it are late July and early August. One writer, who says they do not much like cold soybean noodles, orders them here every time. The other, unimpressed by the rest of the menu, singles these out

  The ₩9,000 comes from a post that copied the menu board; **neither writer who ordered it wrote down a price.** One asked whether the soy broth could be bought on its own, and was told no

• 두부전골1 ate it
  dubu-jeongol₩25,000 set · ₩35,000 set · ₩45,000 set

  A shared hotpot, small to large. Only one writer ordered it, and **that one post is the harshest thing written about this place** — plenty of seafood but it tasted frozen, and enough seasoning powder to leave a bitter finish

  One post copies the board: ₩25,000 / ₩35,000 / ₩45,000. Nobody writes down what they actually paid

• 매생이순두부 + 영양돌솥밥1 ate it
  maesaengi sundubu + yeongyang dolsotbap₩11,000

  Made with maesaengi seaweed, and **it is a white stew, not a red one**. The one writer who ordered it was startled, then decided the milder broth suited the seaweed better; there were oysters in it too

  ₩11,000. Only one writer ordered it, so we cannot say whether opinion divides

• 두부보쌈named in 0
  dubu-bossam₩35,000 set

  It is on the menu board

  **Not one of the twenty-six first-hand posts orders it or even mentions it.** The ₩35,000 comes only from posts that copied the board

Sides, and what comes with it

• 옥돔구이2 ate it
  okdom-gui₩13,000

  A grilled fish to add to the tofu stews. One writer looked around and noted that **tables of three or more tend to order one of these to share** on top of a stew each

  One post gives ₩13,000, and calls it no better than the same dish anywhere else

• 모두부2 ate it
  modubu₩4,000

  A block of the house tofu, plain. One writer says it is not comparable to shop-bought and came thicker than expected; another opens their account of the meal by telling you to add one

  ₩4,000 a block in a November 2024 post. Not the same as the square of tofu that comes as a side dish with the stews, which one writer did not care for

• 코다리찜 볶음밥1 ate it
  kodari-jjim bokkeumbap

  The rice fried at the end of a braised-pollack pan. The one writer who ordered it says **the kitchen uses fresh seasoning rather than the sauce left in the pan**, and thinks two portions is the minimum

  No post gives a price

• 두부부침named in 0
  dubu-buchim₩12,000

  It is on the menu board

  **Nobody among the twenty-six first-hand posts orders it.** It appears to be distinct from the pan-fried tofu that comes as a side dish, but we could not confirm even that

To drink

• 진도 울금 막걸리1 ate it
  Jindo ulgeum makgeolli

  A local makgeolli made with Jindo turmeric. One writer poured a glass before shaking the bottle and another after, and says the two tasted like different drinks

  No price is given, and this is the only one of the twenty-six posts in which anyone orders a drink at all

Parking

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

Ten posts write about parking and every one of them found a space — though they do not agree on where it is. Four say a lot directly in front of the shop, three say the public car park across the road, one says beside the building, and one names the public lot next to the Jeonnam hospital. Four call it free. Two add that when it fills you can leave the car in the surrounding lanes, and one shrugs that out here nobody minds a verge. Not one writer failed to park.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

It is on the ground floor — and only one post actually says so. The registered address ends "1F," and one writer notes the shop uses the whole ground floor, which is why the room is so large. No post mentions stairs or an upper floor, and that silence should not be read as "there are no steps": nobody describes the entrance at all. Three writers do explain that the two doors on the street belong to one restaurant, but none says which to use — only that the rooms connect inside.

Nobody writes about getting in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. Across twenty-six posts the words for wheelchair, pushchair, step, threshold and ramp do not appear once. Six writers say the shop takes the whole ground floor and that the room is wide — but that describes the inside, and it is not an answer about the step at the door. Three writers brought small children, and not one of them says whether the pushchair came in or stayed outside.

Not one writer has looked at the toilet. One post has a line reading "parking, toilet: yes" and another lists "separate men's and women's" — both are the Naver listing's amenity checklist copied across, the second sitting in the same breath as "wi-fi" and "high chairs." Whether the toilet is inside the restaurant, how many stalls it has, whether it is clean: none of the twenty-six posts says. That is not a no. That is us not knowing.

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.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 27 posts we gathered, 3 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.

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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• Twenty-six, not thirty. Four posts are out of the count. One is an affiliate post that never says what was ordered or what it cost, still has its bold markers sitting in the text as asterisks, and gives the opening hours as "possibly closed Wednesdays" — nobody who went writes that. One is a "ten best restaurants in Jindo" listicle. One is the Naver listing copied wholesale, down to "329 visitors said the food was good." The last is a promotional post from the county's commerce foundation, which names as signature dishes two things that are not on the menu at all. Not one post declares a sponsorship; two say they paid their own way, and one was treated by relatives.
• The hours did not disagree; they changed. Five posts from November 2024 to June 2025 all say 07:30–20:00, with a break from 15:00 to 16:30 and last orders at 19:30. Seven posts from September 2025 to June 2026 all say the kitchen now runs to 20:30, breaks from 15:00 to 17:00, and takes last orders at 20:00. Even in the later group the opening time splits between 07:30 and 08:00. Read the old timetable and you will arrive after closing — and there is no need to rush for a 19:30 last order that no longer applies. On the closing day all ten posts that mention it agree: Wednesday.
• The prices went up too. The plain soft-tofu set is ₩9,000 in a November 2024 post and ₩10,000 in every post from May 2025 on. More than ten writers call the place good value — but the cheapest figure anyone quotes is the oldest one. And the two larger dishes, the tofu hotpot at ₩25,000–45,000 and the braised pollack at ₩36,000–60,000, are sold by size for a table to share, so they are not what one person pays.
• Only two posts talk about waiting, and they contradict each other. One says the tables filled from about eleven on a weekend and by just past noon the wait was half an hour. The other arrived before noon to a full room and sat down at once, because the place is large. A third took the chairs outside as proof it must be good. All four writers who came on a weekday morning found it empty or nearly so — one had the room to themselves at ten. Twenty-four of the twenty-six posts say nothing about queuing at all.
• Exactly one writer arrived without a car: five and a half hours on the coach from Seoul, off at the Jindo bus terminal, and a late lunch here on foot. Two more put "by the bus terminal" in their titles, but both drove. Two walked over from a nearby guesthouse — one measures it at two hundred metres, the other just says they walked. No post explains how to reach the shop by bus from anywhere else on the island; the rest all came by car and start with the parking.
