# Daegu Korean restaurant dinner: mild squid stir-fry, Banwoldang - By Taeyang Jeo (https://superchart.com/en/@banchon-late-window/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Jung-gu, Daegu - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@banchon-late-window/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@banchon-late-window/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner/index.md) ## In short Banwoldang Bujasikdang is a Korean rice-and-stir-fry restaurant one minute from Exit 20 of Banwoldang Station in Jung-gu, Daegu, known for its fire-grilled dishes. At dinnertime the last open table was still free, and the fire-grilled squid stir-fry (13,000 won) in mild spice came with two bowls of rice — enough squid to mix a whole bowl and still have plenty left. Between the smoky flavor and the cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), Banwoldang Bujasikdang is the kind of neighborhood spot worth returning to often. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 13-13 Gwandeokjeong-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu — 1 minute from Exit 20 of Banwoldang Station - **Stone-plate Buja short rib**: 14,000 won - **Fire-grilled squid and pork stir-fry**: 14,000 won - **Fire-grilled squid stir-fry**: 13,000 won - **Fire-grilled pork stir-fry**: 13,000 won - **Bowl of rice**: Charged separately (can also be ordered as Buja bibimbap) - **Spice level**: Choice of mild or spicy - **Standard table setting**: 5 sides and 1 stew (salad, seasoned seaweed stems, pickled onion, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned radish, cheonggukjang stew) - **Self-serve bar**: Lettuce, self-serve - **Parking**: Space for about 4 cars in front of the restaurant - **Group seating**: Private room with two 8-person tables, up to 16 people *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* A Korean restaurant in Banwoldang, Daegu, known for squid stir-fry and pork stir-fry rice dishes — Banwoldang Bujasikdang.

Various vegetables and squid were stir-fried in a delicious sauce, topped with sesame seeds, so it looked and tasted rich and savory! ![Mild-spice squid stir-fry with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner-22-tlfzw-966.webp) ### How spicy is the mild version? You can choose mild or spicy — mild is apparently less spicy than Shin Ramyeon, and spicy is a bit spicier than Shin Ramyeon! I went with mild, and it wasn't very spicy at all, just the right level for me~ ![Rice and squid stir-fry mixed together in a separate bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner-23-1hmcm-966.webp) ### Mixing the squid stir-fry with rice, like a rice bowl They give you an extra bowl so you can add rice and scoop in some squid stir-fry to mix it up like a squid rice bowl — the smoky flavor made it even more savory, and the squid wasn't chewy at all, just tender and delicious!! There was enough squid left even after mixing in a whole bowl of rice — the portion is great! ![Lettuce wrap with rice and squid piled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner/banwoldang-buja-sikdang-squid-stirfry-dinner-24-1shy3-966.webp) You can mix it in a bowl, or wrap the leftover rice with several pieces of squid in a lettuce leaf, which is also delicious~!! Then a spoonful of the cheonggukjang stew really settles the stomach, haha. And that's dinner done!! ## Would I go back to Banwoldang Bujasikdang?
