After a walk at Gosangol Dinosaur Park, the writer's family ordered tuna and yeolmu bibimbap, individual-brazier grilled pork, and grandma's stir-fried octopus, swapping in kimchi jjigae, and the kids happily fed themselves with fried egg and seaweed soup over rice.

This time we stopped by after a walk with the kids at Gosangol Dinosaur Park. ![Hutgae tea set out outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-05-11w2r-900.webp) If you're driving, note there's no dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to use the nearby alleys. About 2 cars can park in front of the restaurant. Outside this Apsan favorite, they set out cool hutgae tea for people passing by or waiting. ## Interior ![Interior seating at Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-06-luow3-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged interior of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-07-1hke9-900.webp) ![Table space good for sitting with kids](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-08-12ue9-900.webp) Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch lets you enjoy cozy Korean home cooking in a clean, tidy space. With high chairs and a kids' menu, it's also a great Daemyeong-dong set-meal restaurant for group gatherings or family dinners. ## Cafe Dongi's unlimited refills — what exactly is unlimited? The best thing about Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch — and this goes for every branch, not just this one — is that five-grain rice, seaweed, eggs, and barley candy are all unlimited refills. ![Unlimited-refill five-grain rice and seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-09-x942p-m-900.webp) ![Unlimited eggs and barley candy station](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-10-xsisr-m-900.webp) ![Fried egg cooked by hand at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-11-u6d8v-m-900.webp) Some of the set meals come with seaweed soup too, so you can wrap rice in seaweed for the kids, or fry up an egg and mix it into the seaweed soup — the kids ate so happily they were practically dancing. Being able to feed themselves made things easy for me too, at this restaurant near Apsan that's great for going with kids. ## The menu ![Menu board at Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-12-1ymj4-900.webp) From the set-meal menu at this Daemyeong-dong favorite, we ordered the following. ![Set-meal menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-13-1dm9w-900.webp) - Tuna yeolmu bibimbap (rice mixed with radish greens, with seaweed soup) - Individual-brazier grilled pork set meal - Individual-brazier grandma's stir-fried octopus set meal - (The individual-brazier sets come with doenjang jjigae by default — I swapped both for kimchi jjigae) ![A full set meal spread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-14-t1ik9-900.webp) Just looking at the table full of food was reassuring. ![Full table view with side dishes laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-15-kub70-900.webp) True to its motto of sharing happiness with the neighborhood through a more valuable meal, this Apsan favorite offers unlimited fried eggs, five-grain rice, seaweed, and barley candy, plus a 15% discount on select menu items every month. ![Individual-brazier grilled pork set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-16-ra5b8-966.webp) ![Individual-brazier grandma's stir-fried octopus set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-17-1pq78-966.webp) ![Tuna yeolmu bibimbap with seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-18-c5hq1-966.webp) All three dishes were generously portioned, weren't they? You can really see the owner's mindset here — that giving customers more delicious, filling food matters more than the profit margin. ![Grilled pork cooking over the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-19-n2y3j-900.webp) ![Close-up of smoky, charred grilled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-20-122bg-900.webp) ## How do the grilled pork, stir-fried octopus, and kimchi jjigae taste? Cafe Dongi is a great spot in Daemyeong-dong for anyone who loves Korean home-style food, and it's also worth a stop with kids after visiting Gosangol Dinosaur Park! Whenever we visit Cafe Dongi we always order the grilled pork — the seasoning is delicious, and the smoky char flavor is great too. ![Stir-fried octopus with rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-21-1ovc4-900.webp) The stir-fried octopus comes with rice cakes mixed in, and since it stays warm on the brazier the whole time, it never gets tough. It's one of the dishes worth trying at this favorite near Apsan. The individual-brazier set meals come with doenjang jjigae as the default, but we swapped both to kimchi jjigae. Folks, this place is a kimchi jjigae winner — it's rich, with plenty of pork and kimchi in it. ### Tuna yeolmu bibimbap and seaweed soup Cafe Dongi's yeolmu bibimbap (rice mixed with radish greens) is a great-value menu item — there's also a bulgogi yeolmu bibimbap, but that day we ordered the tuna version. It comes with seaweed soup, which is also handy for mixing into the kids' rice. ![A bowl of tuna yeolmu bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-22-1k2d0-966.webp) ![Mixing rice into seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-23-cwqse-m-900.webp) You can also fry up an egg and add it in for extra flavor. This Apsan favorite already serves a hearty spread, but with all the eggs, five-grain rice, and seaweed you can eat, the meal ended up even more filling. ![Lemonade given for participating in a receipt review](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice-24-mj8ab-m-900.webp) ## 10 minutes by car from Gosangol Dinosaur Park If you leave a receipt review, you can get a lemonade — don't miss out on that! Finishing off with a good helping of barley candy for dessert made for a filling day and a warm heart, at this favorite near Apsan and Gosangol Dinosaur Park. It's only about 10 minutes by car from the dinosaur park, so it's not far to bring the kids along. That was Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch, a great Daemyeong-dong restaurant to visit with kids whenever you're craving Korean food near Apsan in Daegu. ## Where it is - Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch (카페동이 대명역점) - 122 1F Daemyeongbokgae-ro 4-gil, Nam-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 남구 대명복개로4길 122 1층 - 35.8400003, 128.5666178 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EB%8F%99%EC%9D%B4%20%EB%8C%80%EB%AA%85%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@35.8400003,128.5666178,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-brass-spoon/daegu-daemyeong-korean-set-unlimited-egg-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
