A couple ordered the ₩13,000 assorted sushi platter and the ₩25,000 special sushi platter together to compare what each one holds, then added egg sushi and engawa (flounder fin). With thick cuts of fish and a mini udon served free, Sushi Naru still feels fairly priced now that platter prices have gone up. ## Good to know - **Location**: 145 Jungang-daero, Nam-gu, Daegu (244m from Exit 3, Yeongdae Hospital Station, Subway Line 1) - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:30–22:00, break 15:00–17:00, last order 21:30 - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation - **What we ordered**: Special sushi ₩25,000, assorted sushi ₩13,000, egg sushi 2 pcs ₩3,000, engawa 2 pcs ₩6,000 - **Seating**: 6 counter seats, 2 window bar seats, 3 four-person tables - **Served with the meal**: White kimchi, salad, mini udon (no extra charge) - **Reservation review event**: Choice of one: jumbo shrimp tempura, takoyaki, curry croquette, soft drink, or 2 pcs of sushi - **Price reference**: ₩13,000 ≈ $9.6 · ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 · ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Exterior of Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-01-1ipq0-900.webp) ![Entrance sign of Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-02-1z0cm-900.webp) I was craving sushi so badly the other day, so I went hunting for a sushi spot and found 'Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch' in Daegu's Daemyeong-dong, where the cuts of fish looked thick and delicious :) Swim on, flounder...

It's decorated with cute little Japanese-style figurines that give off a nice atmosphere 🥹 ![Four-person table seating at Sushi Naru](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-06-1c88e-900.webp) There are about 3 four-person tables! My husband and I visited just after lunchtime when it was a bit quieter, so we sat at a spacious four-person table to eat comfortably haha. Each table comes set with spoons and chopsticks, a rest, tissues, a water cup, soy sauce, pickled ginger, pickled radish, tongs, and small dishes for serving yourself as much as you like. ![Table setting with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-07-1b2x0-900.webp) ![Sushi Naru's sushi menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-08-1whfv-900.webp) ![Menu board listing rice bowls, katsu, and drinking-food items](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-09-5z1pq-900.webp) ## What we ordered: ₩25,000 special sushi and ₩13,000 assorted sushi Here's the menu :) Besides sushi, Sushi Naru also serves rice bowls, katsu, and drinking-food items, but since we came for lunch and both of us were craving sushi, we stuck to just sushi haha. We wanted to compare the special sushi (25.0) and the assorted sushi (13.0), so we ordered both, plus added egg sushi 2pcs (3.0) and engawa 2pcs (6.0) haha. ![White kimchi and salad included with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-10-yys2g-900.webp) ![Mini udon served as a free side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-11-dhnzg-900.webp) ### Free with every meal: white kimchi, salad and mini udon Just as the sushi was about done, they brought out white kimchi, salad, and mini udon :) My husband liked the salad dressing so much he refilled his bowl. Most places serve miso soup, so I was really happy they gave us udon instead at no extra charge haha. Even though it was a free side dish, the noodles seemed to be springy, chewy sanuki-style noodles! ![Two sushi platters laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-12-ijgca-900.webp) At last, the sushi we ordered arrived 🥰 So colorful~~ is food even allowed to be this pretty? ![A platter of assorted sushi with 10 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-13-1vi0w-900.webp) ## Assorted sushi (10 pieces) vs special sushi (12 pieces): what's different The assorted sushi comes with 10 pieces total: raw salmon, seared salmon, red seabream, raw shrimp, boiled shrimp, squid, egg, and fried tofu, one piece each, plus 2 pieces of flounder. ![The special sushi platter with 12 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-14-1ihqy-1200.webp) The special sushi comes with 12 pieces total: raw salmon, seared salmon, lean tuna and fatty tuna belly, sea urchin, sweet shrimp, soy-marinated shrimp, seared scallop, freshwater eel, beef, red seabream, and engawa, one piece each, plus 2 pieces of flounder! The regular assorted sushi already has a nice variety, but the special uses higher-grade ingredients and comes with 2 extra pieces, so once it arrived I didn't feel it was overpriced at all. Given how much platter sushi prices have gone up lately, this seemed like a pretty reasonable price haha. ![Extra egg sushi and engawa sushi that were ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-15-t4oyk-900.webp) ### The extras we added: egg sushi and engawa (flounder fin) We added an extra order of egg sushi, which my husband loves, and my personal favorite, engawa (flounder fin)🐷 Wait, why did the owner give us one extra egg sushi? Always grateful for the little extras🫶🏻 ![Close-up of thickly cut sushi fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-16-bide8-733.webp) ![A thick slice of fish on top of the sushi rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-17-1vzcy-633.webp) ## How the sushi tasted: thickness of the fish and the seasoned rice Look how thick the cuts of fish on the sushi are😋 Whether it's sashimi or sushi, if the fish is sliced too thin, you get no flavor and no texture at all. The owner really doesn't skimp on ingredients... The sushi rice wasn't too sour or too sweet either, which let the unique flavor of each piece of fish come through! You know the fish was pretty oily too, right? I really wanted a draft beer right then and there, but I couldn't because of plans afterward.... so disappointed. ![A single piece of sushi served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-18-18ygl-900.webp) ![A piece of salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-19-1d82b-837.webp) ![A piece of fatty tuna belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-20-126qs-900.webp) ![A piece of sea urchin sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-21-efpkc-900.webp) ![A piece of freshwater eel sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-22-l2dlh-753.webp) ![A piece of engawa sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-23-u0b0i-820.webp) The salmon, scallop, and tuna were so soft they just melted in my mouth, while the flounder, engawa, red seabream, and squid were pleasantly chewy and springy. The freshwater eel, egg, sea urchin, and sweet shrimp were all sweet too! Once we laid everything out piece by piece, honestly, doesn't this look like it could give omakase a run for its money?? Every single bite of Sushi Naru's sushi was satisfying, with nothing tasting fishy or less than fresh🥹 This really is a sushi spot worth visiting in Daemyeong-dong 🫶🏻 ![Information about Sushi Naru's reservation review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi/sushinaru-daegu-special-vs-modeum-sushi-24-43l57-900.webp) ## The free dish from Sushi Naru's reservation review event Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch is also running a reservation review event, so join in and get a free extra of your choice: jumbo shrimp tempura, takoyaki, curry croquette, soda, or 2 pieces of sushi haha.
