Ttosuninejip (tto-sun-i-ne-jip) is a restaurant with about 30 years of history on Jeonju Movie Street in the Gaekridan-gil neighborhood, and its known dish is kimchi jjim — pork and kimchi braised down until almost all the liquid is gone.
The official Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) description says the seasoning soaks into the pork and kimchi, tastes spicy-sweet, and pairs well with rice.
Because it holds less broth than most kimchi jjim, the listing notes it can suit people who prefer the solid ingredients over soup.
If you dislike watery braised dishes, this thick style is the reason this place comes up in Jeonju food lists.
When I look at a listing like this, the first things I check are the closed days and the exact opening hour, because that is where sources disagree most — more on both below.

What to Order at Ttosuninejip: Menu and Prices
The dish most people order is kimchi jjim for two plus the egg roll, a combo that appears repeatedly in visitor write-ups.
Kimchi jjim is orderable for 2 or more people only, so solo diners need another dish.
Rice comes included as a heaping mound, and reviewers say the portions are large for the price.
If you are going with one other person, the kimchi jjim for 2 plus gyeranmali (egg roll) is the order the sources point to; if you are alone, jeyuk bokkeum at the listed 10,000 won is the smallest priced meat dish.
| Dish (say it as) | Listed price |
|---|---|
| Kimchi jjim (gim-chi-jjim), 2-person minimum | Not confirmed |
| Jeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork stir-fry) | 10,000 won |
| Galbi jjim (braised short ribs) | 12,000 won |
| Dakdoritang (braised chicken) | 30,000 won |
| Gwakchi jjigae (saury stew), medium / large | 23,000 / 27,000 won |
| Gyeranmali (egg roll) | 5,000 won |
The menu also lists yangpun galbi jjim (short ribs served in a bowl) and gyeran tang (egg soup).
One more detail from write-ups: the kimchi used is well-ripened aged kimchi, soft and not strongly sour, and the pork is thin slices rather than thick chunks.
Ttosuninejip Hours and Closed Days
Per the KTO listing (checked October 2, 2026), Ttosuninejip opens 10:30-21:00 with a weekday break from 16:00 to 17:00 and last order at 20:40, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Sources do not fully agree, so verify by phone.
The official KTO listing says the restaurant closes Mondays and Tuesdays, while one secondary page and one blog list Tuesday only; the official listing wins here.
On opening time, the KTO value of 10:30 stands, though one page shows 09:00 with food service from 10:20 — if you arrive before 10:30, expect the kitchen may not be serving yet.
Call 063-231-3123 before a Monday visit or an early arrival.
If you hate waiting, one visitor report describes entering with no wait at 12:10 on a Thursday, and reports after lunchtime found seats free; lunchtime lines can still happen, so arriving after 13:00 on a Wednesday to Friday visit is the safer bet.
How to Get to Ttosuninejip From Seoul and the Hanok Village
The fastest way from Seoul is the train: per national transport data (schedule for October 1), the quickest ride takes 1 hour 26 minutes with fares from 30,100 won, first departure 05:08 and last 21:48.
The express bus is cheaper and runs later: the quickest ride takes 2 hours 40 minutes with fares 16,400 to 33,500 won, first 05:30 and last 24:00.
The train saves about an hour; the bus saves money and covers late-night returns.
| Option | Fastest time | Fare | First / last |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train (KTX and similar) | 1h 26m | from 30,100 won | 05:08 / 21:48 |
| Express bus | 2h 40m | 16,400-33,500 won | 05:30 / 24:00 |
From Jeonju Station, take a taxi or a bus toward the Gaekridan-gil area; the address is 11-8 Jeonjugaksa 3-gil, Wansan-gu, on Jeonju Movie Street near the old Jeonju Guesthouse (jeon-ju-gaek-sa).
From Jeonju Hanok Village, the walk is about 20 minutes, described as pleasant in good weather.
There is free parking, but only about 4-5 spots in front and one review calls the lot tight — walking from the Hanok Village avoids the parking problem.
Within Jeonju itself, no local bus numbers for this stop were found in the sources.
Gyeranmali, Side Dishes and What the Room Is Like
Per the KTO listing, Ttosuninejip serves its side dishes and egg roll like this.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Side dishes | 8 basic side dishes with any meal order; reviewers rate the variety and the value highly |
| Named side items | Seaweed stem (mi-yeok-jul-gi) and fish cake stir-fry (eo-muk-bok-keum); rice arrives as a large mound |
| Egg roll (gyeranmali) | 5,000 won, plain egg-only style with no vegetables or cheese, made from egg alone and served freshly cooked |
| Texture | Firm and a little salty rather than puffy; a ketchup bottle sits on every table |
| Room | Old building with visible wear, small main hall with few tables, regular tables plus heated floor seats and a private room |
| Service | Food reportedly comes out very quickly after ordering, which helps on a tight schedule |
Expect a well-worn neighborhood room, not a renovated dining space.
Cards, Takeout, Reservations and What Is Nearby
Credit cards are accepted, takeout is available, and reservations are made by phone at 063-231-3123.
Group seating is possible and restrooms are separated by gender.
Two nearby stops combine well: the Jeonju Museum of Art and the Nambo Market Hanok Village night market, both listed as being in the same area.
If a Monday or Tuesday visit is impossible because of the closed days, the night market gives the same district an evening draw on open days.
If I were going, I would order kimchi jjim for 2 plus the egg roll, arrive after 13:00 on a Wednesday to Friday, and walk from the Hanok Village in about 20 minutes instead of hunting for one of the 4-5 parking spots.
