Over lunch with her mom, the writer ordered the small daegu ppol jorim (braised cod head and cheek) and worked through the doenjang kept warm on an induction plate, the neat side dishes, and the stew packed with radish, onion and potato. It was her first cod head stew, and the seasoning at Pyeongsang Myeonok was never too salty, soaking evenly into the fish and vegetables right to the last bite. ## Good to know - **Name**: Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch - **Address**: 1763 Dalgubeol-daero, Seo-gu, Daegu - **Hours**: 11:00-21:00 (last order 20:10) - **Parking**: Free, about 8 spaces in front of the restaurant - **How to order**: Kiosk - **Ordered that day**: Braised cod head stew (daegu ppol jorim), small *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Table setting with daegu ppol jorim at Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-01-zm2sm-1200.webp) I went to Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch with my mom. This time, instead of my usual order, I picked the small daegu ppol jorim (braised cod head and cheek). I'd never had cod head stew before, so I was curious what it would taste like — turns out the seasoning, fish, and vegetables were all delicious. > My first time trying daegu ppol jorim, the seasoning was just right, and it soaked well into the fish and vegetables — really tasty. ## Parking at Pyeongsang Myeonok: 8 free spaces out front Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch is at 1763 Dalgubeol-daero, Seo-gu, Daegu, and there's free parking right in front. I drove there and found space to park right outside. ![Free parking space in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-02-ds2q9-966.webp) From what I saw, there was room for about 8 cars, so parking was easy. ![Restaurant exterior and entrance with large signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-03-1w1b7-966.webp) After parking, I headed straight in. The restaurant's name was clearly displayed outside, so the entrance was easy to spot. ## What the dining room at Pyeongsang Myeonok looks like Inside, Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch had a neat, tidy set-meal restaurant feel with well-arranged tables and seating. Walking in, it had that refined hanjeongsik (Korean set-meal) atmosphere, which made it comfortable to dine with my mom. ![Restaurant interior with neatly arranged tables and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-04-14x0e-966.webp) Tables continued toward the back, and the whole space looked well kept and clean. ![Dining hall tables extending toward the back](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-05-m95ri-966.webp) ![Overview of the restaurant interior with hanjeongsik atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-06-1sryw-966.webp) ## Kiosk ordering: the small braised cod head stew At Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch, you order via kiosk. There were plenty of other menu items on display, but that day we chose the small daegu ppol jorim. ![Kiosk screen for ordering menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-07-q1xbl-966.webp) After trying this one, I thought if it turned out well, I'd want to try other menu items next time. ## Doenjang on the induction plate, side dishes and the mul kimchi mom loved While waiting for the daegu ppol jorim, doenjang (soybean paste stew) was placed on a tabletop induction burner first. It simmered right at the table so we could eat it warm throughout the meal, and the side dishes to go with it came out too. ![Doenjang simmering on the tabletop induction burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-08-1ria4-966.webp) ![A neatly arranged set of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-09-1aidh-966.webp) The side dishes looked neat and tidy at a glance. From the moment the table was set, everything was arranged so orderly that it gave an overall clean impression. My mom in particular tried the mul kimchi (watery radish kimchi) and said it was so good. She didn't just enjoy the mul kimchi on its own — she mixed it right into the doenjang and rice, which stuck with me watching from the side. We tasted the rice, side dishes, and doenjang first while waiting for the main dish. ## How does the small braised cod head stew taste? The small daegu ppol jorim at Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch was made with the head and cheek meat of cod, and to my taste, the seasoning was just right. The stew we ordered finally arrived. It came on a large plate with plenty of fish and vegetables, topped with sesame seeds — a really appetizing sight. ![Small daegu ppol jorim topped with sesame seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-10-5bkfk-966.webp) This was my first time having daegu ppol jorim, and it was made with head and cheek meat. It wasn't just fish either — radish, onion, potato, and various other vegetables were mixed in. The sauce was generously mixed throughout, so it was fun trying the fish and vegetables together, bite by bite. Above all, the seasoning was just right for my taste. ![Cod meat from the ppol jorim, sauce soaked in](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-11-oddoi-966.webp) The sauce itself was delicious, but it wasn't just coating the surface — it had really soaked into the vegetables and fish, so it stayed tasty right to the last bite. ![Radish and vegetables soaked in the braising sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-12-negk8-m-966.webp) The radish and vegetables in the stew, in particular, held onto the sauce well and were great to eat alongside the fish. I set aside pieces of fish on my small plate and ate slowly. ![A piece of daegu ppol jorim set aside on a small plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-13-1siyf-966.webp) Since it was a dish I'd never tried before, daegu ppol jorim felt a bit unfamiliar at first, but after eating it, what stuck with me was how it's really about tasting the combination of sauce and fish. Pulling the fish apart, you could also see how the meat and bones were connected. ![Picking apart the head and cheek meat of daegu ppol jorim](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised-14-1l7eq-966.webp) As I picked the head and cheek meat apart, I alternated with the sauce-soaked radish, potato, and onion. It wasn't just a fish stew that ends with the fish — I got to enjoy the various vegetables mixed in as well, which I liked. From start to finish, the seasoning never felt overdone to me, and how well it blended with the fish and vegetables was what I liked most about this meal. ## Is Pyeongsang Myeonok worth a visit? Final verdict I tried daegu ppol jorim for the first time at Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch. I worked through the meal in order — the neatly arranged side dishes first, then the doenjang simmering on the induction burner, and finally the main daegu ppol jorim. The daegu ppol jorim came with radish, onion, potato, and other vegetables, and the sauce had soaked well into both the fish and vegetables. The mul kimchi my mom especially enjoyed also stuck with me from this meal. Parking in front of the restaurant made things convenient, and the interior was neat and clean.

There were plenty of other menu items on display, so next time I'd like to try the ones I missed this visit. ## Where it is - Pyeongsang Myeonok Sotbap Bansang Duryu Negeori Branch (평상면옥 솥밥반상 두류네거리점) - 1763 Dalgubeol-daero, Seo-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 서구 달구벌대로 1763 평상면옥 솥밥반상 두류네거리점 - 35.8586788, 128.5579829 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%89%EC%83%81%EB%A9%B4%EC%98%A5%20%EC%86%A5%EB%B0%A5%EB%B0%98%EC%83%81%20%EB%91%90%EB%A5%98%EB%84%A4%EA%B1%B0%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.8586788,128.5579829,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@between-restaurants/pyeongsang-myeonok-duryu-cod-braised/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
