Daegu chicken hot pot with mashed-dumpling porridge: Golmok Naengmyeon
In short
Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu is a naengmyeon (cold noodle) and Daegu-style chicken hot pot (dakhanmari) restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building on the main road of the Deuran-gil restaurant street in Suseong, Daegu. On a chilly day, three diners (two men, one woman) ordered the one-chicken set on the owner's recommendation. They ate the vegetables, chicken, dumplings, kalguksu noodles and porridge in the order set by the table timer, and their tip is to mash leftover dumplings into the porridge. Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 is a good pick for a Deuran-gil meal: chicken hot pot on cold days, naengmyeon on hot ones.

Where is Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu, and is there parking?
Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu is on the Deuran-gil restaurant street in Suseong, and the restaurant is on the building's 2nd floor. There is comfortable parking for about 5–6 cars on the 1st floor. It is open daily 11:00–21:00, with a break time from 15:00 to 17:00.
I'm not the only one caught off guard by this suddenly cold weather, right..? So how about some warm, soupy food?
The name says "alley naengmyeon," but in reality it's right on a big main road;
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor.
Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 atmosphere and group seating
The inside of Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu has a clean wood-and-white interior, with the feel of an upscale naengmyeon restaurant; it's more about meals than drinking, so tables looked like they'd turn over quickly.
There's private group seating too! It looked better suited to meals with elders or kids than to a company dinner!!
It's a naengmyeon place, but with the cold weather we went for chicken hot pot (dak hanmari), and the table has a friendly guide on how to eat it best. (Eating it exactly that way was the tastiest.)
What's at the self-bar?
The Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 self-bar has spicy kimchi and fresh (geotjeori) kimchi set out separately, and you can also grab peanut sauce, chili sauce and cheongyang chili peppers there. A neat self-bar like this at a naengmyeon place.. and two kinds of kimchi kept separate. What a thoughtful owner!
Daegu-style chicken hot pot: how many chickens for three people?
The three of us (two men, one woman) ordered the Daegu-style one-chicken set at Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 and ate until full. We were torn between one chicken and one-and-a-half, but went with the one-chicken set on the owner's recommendation!!
The big green bowl is for the vegetable sauce and the small green bowl is for the chicken sauce. I loved that there were several sauces to suit your taste. By the way, the peanut sauce and chili sauce are at the self-bar!!
The pot is generously loaded with the tasty cuts of chicken and fresh vegetables. The texture of the potatoes and rice cakes was especially great.
How to eat chicken hot pot at Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 (10-minute timer)
The timer appears! Pour in the broth and follow the order below, based on 10 minutes.
- Once the broth starts boiling, eat the vegetables
- After 10 minutes, eat the chicken
- Partway through, add the dumplings and noodles
The vegetable sauce isn't strongly seasoned, so I recommend dunking the vegetables in it well. The deep flavor of the broth goes nicely with the savory sauce. (You can order extra vegetables.)
While eating the vegetables, the 10-minute timer ran out, so the drumstick goes in first. The chicken sauce isn't gochujang, but it's slightly spicy and sharp, and it pairs well with the mild chicken.
Dumplings and kalguksu noodles included in the set
The Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 chicken hot pot set includes handmade, well-stuffed dumplings and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) portions.
The kalguksu noodles are thick, so I recommend boiling them quite a while. They taste great. (Of course, we added extra noodles.) (Add cheongyang chili peppers from the self-bar too.)
Chicken hot pot finishing porridge: the mashed dumpling tip
You can't skip porridge after shabu-shabu, right? I thought about getting two porridges, but because of the extra noodles we got just one (big regret).
Daegu-style chicken hot pot may be unfamiliar, but think of it as shabu-shabu with chicken. Since the chicken is the star, it feels a bit milder.
Here's my tip: pour the porridge into the broth (we'd already added broth when we put in the noodles), then mash leftover or extra dumplings together with the porridge. The dumpling meat with the chicken broth is an amazing combination.
The ingredients are labeled as domestic, which you can trust, and the owner was kind enough to give us after-meal candy and even dental floss.
Is Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu worth going back to?
It seems already known as a great spot among those in the know, but even if it gets more famous, it looked like it wouldn't fall short. Chicken hot pot in cold weather, naengmyeon in hot weather! I highly recommend Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu for a tasty meal on Deuran-gil.
