Sinchon Sikdang specializes in regional chicken dishes like minced charcoal-grilled chicken and mung bean soup. Located at 18 Sinchonyaksu-gil, Jinbo-myeon, the restaurant gained fame through the program Baekban Gihaeng. The signature Dak-bulgogi consists of minced chicken grilled over charcoal, imbuing the meat with a smoky aroma. Serving the grilled chicken with fresh seasoned vegetables in a lettuce wrap results in a clean taste. Side dishes include kkakdugi made with Cheongsong apples, reflecting the local agricultural specialty. The Nokdu-baeksuk is a thick soup prepared with ground mung beans. For two people, two servings of Dak-bulgogi and one shared bowl of baeksuk is a common order. Additional options like grilled chicken wings are available. The menu is priced affordably, receiving positive feedback regarding value. Outside the entrance, a natural mineral spring provides iron-rich water. Weekend lunch hours often involve wait times over an hour, so arrival before 11 AM is advisable. Parties of two are often seated faster. A nearby art museum serves as a convenient attraction.
