Bakga Samgeori Budae-jjigae operates in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, maintaining a legacy of over 50 years. Designated as a Century Restaurant by the government, the shop focuses exclusively on budae-jjigae. The service follows a simplified system where patrons only specify the number of diners for preparation to begin. Initially, the broth presents a mild profile, but continuous boiling draws out juices from the vegetables and processed meats. A defining characteristic of this Paju-style stew is the generous inclusion of crown daisy and scallions, which contributes a cleaner vegetable quality compared to variants in other regions. Large chunks of ground meat provide texture, while morning sausages and different types of ham add a salty, processed quality to the pot. Side dishes consist of kimchi and radish cubes in cold brine. Ramyeon noodles are available for a small additional fee of 1,000 won. The interior at Munhyang-ro 103, Munsan-eup, retains its original, unpretentious atmosphere without modern renovations. Parking for ten cars is located in front of the building, and users of the nearby paid lot receive a small subsidy toward their fees. The restaurant opens at 8 a.m. and handles a high volume of takeout orders.
