Our Offerings
Every dish at Namcheon Maru begins with the same question β what does this ingredient want to become?
No shortcuts, no compromise. Just the honest flavors of Jeonju, served with care.
π Bibimbap (λΉλΉλ°₯) β β©13,000
Our signature dish. Soy Sauce Bibimbap replaces the conventional gochujang with a deeply savory, house-aged golden soy sauce β crafted from a recipe passed down through generations. Bracken fern, burdock root, mushrooms, and more, tossed with warm rice, barely dressed. Pure umami, little heat.
Our sesame oil starts with seeds we dry ourselves, then carry to a small mill in Nambu Market β a traditional market just minutes away, run by the same family for decades. We bring a fresh batch back every ten days, pressed the moment we arrive, the way olive oil tastes brightest straight from just-picked Mediterranean olives. That's the oil in your bibimbap.
- Minimum order: 2 persons. If other guests are already ordering, 1 person is welcome β please inquire.
- Vegetarian option: Available upon request.
π Chilled Buckwheat Soba (λμλ°) β β©9,000
Escape the heat. Chilled soba noodles bathed in an icy, deeply savory broth β a revitalizing bowl that arrives cool and leaves you refreshed. Available seasonally.
π Clam Noodle Soup (μΉΌκ΅μ) β β©8,000
Hand-cut noodles in a clean, briny clam broth β light yet deeply satisfying. The kind of bowl that tastes like the sea on a quiet afternoon.
π₯£ Red Bean Porridge (ν₯μ£½) β β©12,000
Slow-simmered red beans blended into a smooth, velvety porridge with soft rice balls (μμμ¬). Naturally sweet, warming, entirely plant-based. A bowl that feels like a quiet moment of stillness. Red beans are one of Korea's most celebrated functional foods β naturally high in plant protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. No dairy, no meat, no compromise.
π Red Bean Noodle Soup (ν₯μΉΌκ΅μ) β β©10,000
Hand-cut wheat noodles simmered in our signature red bean broth. Subtly sweet, deeply savory, wholly plant-based. A uniquely Jeonju experience β warm, nourishing, unlike anything you've tried before. Red bean broth carries the same nutritional depth: iron-rich, low in fat, and packed with slow-digesting complex carbohydrates that sustain without weighing you down.
π₯ Tender Dumplings (λ§λ) β β©6,000
Small bites, considered flavor. Each dumpling is packed with a savory blend of premium ingredients β a satisfying burst in every bite. "Available exclusively with any main dish order."
