After an upsetting day at work, the writer returned to Hanwoojang late at night for ttaro-gukbap (spicy beef soup with rice on the side) and hanwoo ox head soup with extra noodles. Thanks to Hanwoojang's kimchi and kkakdugi, meat dipped in onion-soy sauce and wasabi, and a ttaro-gukbap packed with big chunks of seonji (ox blood curd) and radish, it was a meal that lifted the writer's mood. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Open 24 hours, every day of the year - **Address**: 1st floor, 555 Gukchaebosang-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu - **Ordered**: Ttaro-gukbap and hanwoo ox head soup (someori-gomtang) with extra noodles - **Menu**: Ttaro-gukbap, seolleongtang (ox bone soup), ox head soup, oxtail soup, ox knee soup, suyuk (boiled sliced beef) and more - **Noodles**: Included only in seolleongtang; order extra for other dishes - **Ttaro-gukbap options**: Large (teuk) size available; can be ordered without seonji - **Other**: Self-serve bar; ox head soup comes with a bowl of rice, onion-soy sauce and wasabi *as written by the visitor on Apr 22, 2026 · not checked with the business* A great gukbap spot in Daegu 😆 ![Main photo introducing Hanwoojang, a Daegu gukbap restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-01-m5i8q-966.webp) Today's pick is here! 🔻🔻🔻 A great gukbap spot in Daegu 😆 ![First photo of the visit to Hanwoojang in Jung-gu, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-02-ruhax-966.webp) ## Where is Hanwoojang and when is it open? Hanwoojang is a gukbap restaurant at 555 Gukchaebosang-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu (1st floor), open 24 hours, every day of the year. It's in the middle of Daegu so it's easy to get to, and even though it was late after work, I decided to revisit Hanwoojang and eat before heading home. ![Hanwoojang storefront on Gukchaebosang-ro in central Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-03-kyw1z-966.webp) ![Hanwoojang during the late-night revisit](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-04-1eyj5-966.webp) ![Inside Hanwoojang, which serves ttaro-gukbap and gomtang soups](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-05-h3hm7-m-966.webp) ![Hanwoojang serving gukbap varieties and suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-06-mmure-966.webp) ## What gukbap dishes does Hanwoojang serve? Hanwoojang has Daegu's famous ttaro-gukbap (rice and soup served separately), plus the whole gukbap lineup: seolleongtang (ox bone soup), ox head soup, oxtail soup, ox knee soup and so on, and even suyuk (boiled sliced beef). ![Celebrity autographs and Blue Ribbon plaques on Hanwoojang's wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-07-15a2z-966.webp) As a proper old Daegu restaurant, Hanwoojang has celebrity autographs on the walls, and it's a Daegu gukbap spot that has been picked for the Blue Ribbon guide for over 10 years. ![Hanwoojang menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-08-yle1x-966.webp) > What I ordered - Ttaro-gukbap - Hanwoojang ox head soup ![Ttaro-gukbap and Hanwoojang ox head soup after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-09-yyvy2-966.webp) ![Table spread of the food ordered at Hanwoojang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-10-1sqqj-m-966.webp) ## Does the food come out fast late at night? At Hanwoojang the food comes out quickly after you order, just a short wait. For side dishes, you use the self-serve bar~! ![Using the self-serve bar at Hanwoojang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-11-i3u30-966.webp) Honestly, I ran into a weird person at work that day and didn't feel like just going home, so I came for some stress-eating. Anyway, that was my mood. ![Kimchi and kkakdugi to go with Hanwoojang's gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-12-5cj67-966.webp) ![Hanwoojang kimchi side dish, cut with scissors before eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-13-em381-966.webp) ### Hanwoojang's kimchi and kkakdugi The kimchi and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) at Hanwoojang look delicious again. Kimchi is the lifeblood of gukbap, so it's a very important part. You cut the kimchi with the scissors and eat it. On my last visit I ordered seolleongtang and ox knee soup, so this time I ordered two different things! ![Hanwoojang ox head soup served with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-14-bhv1m-966.webp) ## How is Hanwoojang's ox head soup served? Hanwoojang's ox head soup comes with a bowl of rice. It's loaded with chopped green onion, which is a must, and you need to sprinkle in pepper too. It also comes with onion-soy sauce and wasabi to go with the meat! So it doesn't feel greasy. ![Ox head soup meat with onion-soy sauce and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-15-11t61-966.webp) ![Ox head soup topped with green onion and pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-16-973b7-966.webp) ### Can you add noodles to the ox head soup? At Hanwoojang, noodles come by default only in the seolleongtang, and the menu says to order them separately for other dishes, so I added them to the ox head soup. It's written on the menu, so if you order anything besides seolleongtang, add them. Better with them! ![Hanwoojang ox head soup with extra noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-17-175lg-966.webp) ## Can you order Hanwoojang's ttaro-gukbap without seonji? Hanwoojang's ttaro-gukbap is a gukbap with seonji (ox blood curd), and there's an extra-large size too. And I didn't know this, but you can order it without the seonji. Me too, next time. I only noticed when I saw someone else ordering it that way. ![Hanwoojang ttaro-gukbap with seonji](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-18-8gc8j-1200.webp) ![Hanwoojang ttaro-gukbap topped with minced garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-19-nh34z-966.webp) First off, the ttaro-gukbap is topped with minced garlic. The seonji, radish and green onion are all in really big chunks too. ![Ttaro-gukbap with big chunks of seonji, radish and green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-20-m7ejp-966.webp) ![Scooping up seonji from the ttaro-gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-21-19xxe-966.webp) I can't eat seonji, but I tried a little and it's fine. I guess it gets better with age;; Personally, the list of things I can eat growing isn't exactly a good thing, haha ![Eating ttaro-gukbap and ox head soup at Hanwoojang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-22-1dvnm-966.webp) ![A finished gukbap meal at Hanwoojang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-23-louiv-966.webp) ## Wrapping up at Hanwoojang I thought about having a beer, but ended up finishing with a Pine Fanta, my first in a long time! ![Pine Fanta to finish the meal at Hanwoojang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap/hanwoojang-daegu-after-work-gukbap-24-141cl-966.webp) The potted plant is so pretty! It's been a while, and I really enjoyed the ttaro-gukbap at Hanwoojang, the Daegu gukbap spot.
