Dining quietly in the private annex, the writer ordered three servings of teuk-ogyeopsal (premium five-layer pork belly) plus one more, grilled potatoes and mushrooms alongside, and cooled down with yeolmu mul-bibim guksu (chilled radish green noodles). Thick-but-not-too-thick pork belly with great fat rendering, garlic sauce, and barley doenjang made this an instant favorite to revisit. ## Good to know - **Address**: 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - **Hours**: 17:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) - **Closed**: Closures announced on Naver and Instagram - **Parking**: 2 spots in front of the restaurant (white-line parking nearby) - **Teuk-ogyeopsal**: 120g for ₩11,000 - **Yeolmu mul-bibim guksu**: ₩6,000 - **Meat menu**: Ogyeopsal, gabrisal, jjondeuksal - **Seating**: Tables for 4–6, plus a private room-like space and annex *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ## A retro pork belly restaurant down an alley in Beomeo-dong, Daegu With the weather turning cool, I used it as an excuse to go looking for an old-school-style pork belly restaurant where the meat isn't cut too thick, and found Matdongsam — a new spot everyone in Daegu was talking about. It was tucked deeper into the alley than I expected, and retro vibes hit from the entrance. ![Retro-style exterior of Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch down an alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-01-2o90c-1200.webp) ![Entrance signage of Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-02-1wekf-900.webp) The name Matdongsam means "delicious neighborhood samgyeopsal" — such a cute little detail. ![Sign explaining the meaning of "delicious neighborhood samgyeopsal"](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-03-1w9mx-900.webp) ### Interior and seating Walking inside, the place greets you with a house-like retro feel. There's also a nice waiting area right by the entrance. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the space was bigger with more seats than expected. The wallpaper was cute and detailed, and the tables ranged from 4-seaters to 6-seaters (great for both family dinners and group gatherings). There's also a private, room-like space further inside. ![House-style interior seating at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-04-1a0ct-900.webp) It's a pork belly restaurant, but the whole space was pleasant and impeccably clean. ![Neatly arranged table at the pork belly restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-05-x4y9o-900.webp) ![Cute, detailed wallpaper in the dining space](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-06-1pjzt-900.webp) ### Quiet, just the two of us, in the annex This is the annex, connected to the main building. I was curious about it and peeked in, and the staff quickly checked and told us we could use it. They also cranked the AC right away. It was quieter than I expected, and it was nice to dine with just the two of us. ![Quiet annex seating connected to the main building](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-07-m8f49-900.webp) ## How to order and the menu lineup You order through a tablet at each table, and the Naver review event is really generous, so make sure to participate (doenjang jjigae, ramyeon, drinks, etc.). ![Tablet ordering screen with review event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-08-1a1qc-900.webp) ![Menu board listing ogyeopsal, gabrisal, and jjondeuksal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-09-13o0i-900.webp) They serve ogyeopsal, gabrisal, and jjondeuksal, plus a fairly wide range of side dishes. Beyond the Naver review event, there are more coupons on Naver Place for things like invitation gatherings and birthdays. There were aprons hanging in the corner for self-service use, but when I stood up, a staff member noticed and brought one over first. The chairs also had that nostalgic old dining-table-chair feel, and the seats even flip open, so you can store your belongings without worrying about smells. ![Storage-style dining chair with a flip-open seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-10-1rcii-900.webp) ### Side dishes and sauces Once you order, the side dishes are set out quickly. True to a hot new pork belly restaurant in Beomeo-dong, Daegu, there's a wide variety of dipping sauces for the meat (herring roe, salt, barley doenjang, garlic sauce, etc.), and the side dishes pair well with the meat and are served neatly. ![Side dish spread with herring roe, salt, barley doenjang, and garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-11-1q34s-900.webp) The garlic sauce is meant to be simmered on the grill plate, and since the plate tilts nicely, the fat drains off really well. ![Tilted grill plate for fat drainage with garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-12-hsat0-900.webp) ## Teuk-ogyeopsal, 120g for ₩11,000, ordered three servings * Teuk-ogyeopsal (120g/₩11,000), three servings. True to a hot new pork belly restaurant in Beomeo-dong, Daegu, it's prepared with premium-grade selected pork, and the quality was excellent (we kept saying the fat-to-meat ratio was basically perfect). The thickness was also just right — not too thick, not too thin. ![Plate of raw teuk-ogyeopsal, three servings](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-13-4m63n-900.webp) Along with the meat, they also serve potatoes and mushrooms to grill, plus pre-cooked ripened kimchi to add on top. The heat is really strong, and since ogyeopsal is fatty, it's good to control the flame carefully and add small batches at a time to keep the oil from splattering too much. Since the meat isn't too thick, it cooks quickly, and the clear, fresh fat drips down beautifully, giving the pork belly this gorgeous glossy color. ![Pork belly and kimchi grilling on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-14-1lbpa-900.webp) ![Pork belly turning golden brown on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-15-vkrsk-900.webp) After grilling it carefully and taking a bite, it lives up to being a top pork belly restaurant in Beomeo-dong, Daegu — ogyeopsal is chewier and more savory than regular samgyeopsal, and chewing brings out both meaty aroma and juices. Absolutely no gamy smell whatsoever. ![A bite-sized piece of grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-16-je0ta-900.webp) ### The garlic sauce and barley doenjang combo Another special touch unique to Matdongsam is this garlic sauce. Spicy and pungent, it pairs so well with the meat. ![Spicy garlic sauce simmering on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-17-1rere-900.webp) I mixed and matched the side dishes and sauces however I liked and kept eating happily. Besides the garlic sauce, the barley doenjang was also nutty and delicious. ![Pork belly served with barley doenjang and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-18-1upv8-900.webp) A tower of ogyeopsal just makes me happy... haha ![A tower of pork belly stacked on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-19-1qb6j-900.webp) And the mushrooms and potatoes they serve alongside, gently cooked in the pork belly fat, were so good too. The thickness of those potatoes was totally satisfying. ![Potatoes and mushrooms cooked in pork belly fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-20-1wsh4-900.webp) ### Tips worth knowing before you order Here's a tip: on the tablet, you can ask staff to add extra side dishes — beyond what's already served, you can also request lettuce wraps, wasabi, and more, so don't forget! And the potatoes are so good, but they're not charged extra — they're just included, so definitely get a refill... haha ![Refilled grilled potatoes with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-21-xrruq-900.webp) Before we knew it, we'd polished off three servings, so we ordered one more serving of ogyeopsal. ![An additional serving of pork belly ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-22-1kxxw-900.webp) ## Yeolmu mul-bibim guksu for ₩6,000, the perfect palate cleanser for fatty pork belly * Yeolmu mul-bibim guksu (₩6,000). A chilled, sweet-and-tangy radish green noodle dish with slushy ice floating on top, packed with refreshing tang — the perfect side to cut through the greasiness of the pork belly and cleanse your palate. ![Chilled yeolmu mul-bibim guksu with slushy ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-23-4yvpd-900.webp) Even with all that slushy ice, the thin noodles inside weren't frozen or stiff — they were cooked really well, and the portion was genuinely generous. The crisp, cool yeolmu (young radish greens) and cucumber you bite into here and there are the highlight. Wrapping it around a nicely grilled piece of pork belly is the ultimate combo. ### A complimentary grilled cheese we got as a treat Then a staff member quietly came over and, noticing we were deciding on an add-on menu, gave us the grilled cheese on the house — I gratefully accepted and started grilling it. ![Grilled cheese cooking on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles-24-1549h-900.webp) But honestly, this grilled cheese was so good, I really hope it becomes an official add-on menu item. It goes great with the meat, but also pairs beautifully with the potatoes and mushrooms — if it ever gets added as a regular menu item, I'd recommend ordering it. ## Honest final review The space is spacious and pleasant, the retro interior is charming, and the staff were incredibly kind. And you get to enjoy great meat at a reasonable price — the taste, the thickness, all of it satisfying, with that chewy texture and nutty flavor being outstanding. I was completely satisfied, and this is definitely a place I'll think of whenever I crave old-school samgyeopsal or ogyeopsal — an instant go-back spot. If you're looking for a hot new pork belly restaurant in Daegu, a top spot in Beomeo-dong, or a great samgyeopsal/ogyeopsal restaurant in Suseong-gu, Beomeo-dong, this one comes highly recommended. ## Where it is - Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch (맛동삼 범어본점) - 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 수성구 동대구로74안길 15 1층 - 35.8653248, 128.6283618 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%9B%EB%8F%99%EC%82%BC%20%EB%B2%94%EC%96%B4%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8653248,128.6283618,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-brass-bowl/daegu-beomeo-dong-ogyeopsal-annex-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
