Jojeomnye Nammun Pisundae (조점례남문피순대) is a sundae specialty restaurant located inside Jeonju’s Nambu Market, at 39 Pungnammun 2-gil in the Jeondong 3-ga area.
The restaurant sits in the Jeondong/Pungnammun neighborhood, within walking distance of Jeonju Hanok Village and the traditional market’s food stalls.

What to Order: Pisundae and the Rest of the Menu
The signature dish is pisundae (피순대), a sundae that skips Chinese dangmyeon glass noodles and instead uses blood, tofu, meat, egg, vegetables and minced offal.
The KTO listing describes the texture as nutty and chewy with a soft, deep finish, and the restaurant is named in recent Jeonju food round-ups for this dish.
You want the dish the place is named after?
Order the pisundae (피순대).
The second option is sundae gukbap (순대국밥), a clear broth generously loaded with sundae and offal, mildly spicy and clean-tasting, and popular in all seasons.
You want a warm meal on a cold or rainy day?
Get the sundae gukbap (순대국밥).
The menu also lists japchae sundae (잡채순대), the glass-noodle version, and modum gogi (모둠고기), an assorted meat platter.
An item called Ambbong (암뽕) is on the menu list, but what it is could not be confirmed, so it is named here without a description.
If you want something other than the signature, the japchae sundae (잡채순대) or the modum gogi (모둠고기) platter are the listed alternatives.
Menu prices are not published in the KTO listing or in any source I can confirm, so order without a set budget figure in mind.
Hours, Takeout and Waiting
Jojeomnye Nammun Pisundae opens 06:00–22:00 every day of the year — a 16-hour window that includes early-morning service.
Per the Korea Tourism Organization listing (checked 2026-10-03), the restaurant opens 06:00–22:00 and closes no scheduled days (yeonjungmuhu).

If you are short on time, takeout is available per the listing.

You want to eat early?
Go in the morning — it opens at 06:00 and never closes for a scheduled day.
