Inside Hanwoojang: 24-hour service, groups and reservations

Hanwoojang's interior is spacious with lots of tables! Groups are welcome, and reservations are possible too! You can book by phone or through Hanwoojang's Naver page~ Since it's open 24 hours with no days off, it's great to drop by anytime, and being in Dongseong-ro means it's very accessible 👍 Good for dinner before catching a movie at Manggyeonggwan.

Side dishes and the self-serve bar at Hanwoojang

When the gukbap comes out, the first side dishes are kimchi, kkakdugi, and onion, and if you need more, use the self-serve bar! It's kept neat and tidy — everything is there, with separate plates for each side dish.

What's on the menu at Hanwoojang?

Every table has pepper, chili powder, and salt. Add them to your gukbap as needed~ At Hanwoojang in Dongseong-ro, Daegu, seolleongtang is the main dish, but there are other gukbap options too, including oxtail gomtang, doganitang, and yangtang. They also have suyuk, so it's a good spot for older folks to have a meal and a drink with friends, haha.

We ordered seolleongtang and ttaro-gukbap~ Think of ttaro-gukbap as seonji gukbap! There's also a large size available for the seolleongtang~!

Fresh geotjeori-style kimchi

You need to cut the kimchi before eating~ It's delicious! It has that just-made geotjeori (fresh, unfermented kimchi) feel! I tend to prefer fresh kimchi over aged kimchi at gukbap places, haha, so this was tasty and I liked it.

Hanwoojang's ttaro-gukbap is a seonji gukbap

Hanwoojang's ttaro-gukbap turned out to be seonji gukbap! Take out the seonji and it's basically the same as a plain beef gukbap~ This was my first time trying seonji gukbap, and at Hanwoojang it was delicious. The texture of the seonji was chewy, haha. The broth was spicy and rich in flavor.

There's a ton of seonji in it too! If you like seonji gukbap, I think you'd really enjoy visiting Hanwoojang, a well-known spot in Dongseong-ro, Daegu. Besides the seonji gukbap and seolleongtang we ordered, there's also suyuk and various other soups, so I thought it would be a good place for older folks to come have a daytime drink.

Seolleongtang with somyeon noodles instead of glass noodles

The seolleongtang tastes even better if you season it with salt and pepper, and it comes with thin slices of meat and somyeon noodles. At Hanwoojang, they use somyeon instead of glass noodles~ It's light and delicious! If you're a big eater, ordering the large size would be a good idea.

It's a great spot for a simple meal, easy to visit since it's right in the heart of Daegu, and being right in front of Manggyeonggwan makes it perfect for a bite before watching a movie. Highly recommend Hanwoojang, a well-known spot in Dongseong-ro, Daegu!
