That day we were craving good meat, so we finally made it to Hubaldae, a well-known Jongno restaurant. ![Visiting Hubaldae, a Jongno, Daegu meat restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-02-b4sfo-900.webp) ## Busy even on a weekday evening at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch is famous for having a wait even on regular days. We went on a weekday evening and it was already really busy. I remember thinking, it's a weekday, really? But after eating, I understood why it's so popular. ![Interior of Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch busy on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-03-10qzf-966.webp) Since it was the three of us — my husband, our kid, and me — whether we could eat comfortably as a family mattered a lot to me. Bottom line: the meat was great, but the staff were so kind that we left this Jongno, Daegu meat restaurant in a genuinely good mood. ![Vertical photo of Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-04-cd3r1-676.webp) ## Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch: location, hours and parking Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch is located at 50 Jongno, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea. It's open daily from 5:00 PM to 12:30 AM the next day, year-round. There's no dedicated parking lot, so if you're driving you'll need to use a nearby paid lot — Hanseong Parking and Moa Parking are both close by. The menu includes pork belly, pork neck, grilled daechang (beef intestine), grilled teuk-yang (beef stomach), and more. ![Menu board showing pork belly, pork neck, and grilled daechang at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-05-1hvhy-676.webp) ![Menu guide at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-06-w9ysm-676.webp) ![Menu items including grilled teuk-yang at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-07-dozlp-676.webp) ## What was the service like at Hubaldae? With so many people, you'd expect chaos, but what surprised me was the staff. It wasn't just one or two kind ones — every single staff member who helped us was genuinely kind. When it's busy like this, you'd totally understand if service was a bit slow. ![Table service at Hubaldae with staff pouring water](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-08-1be6y-966.webp) They even poured our water for us, glass by glass!!! So, so kind! Even with our kid there, they made sure we could eat comfortably, which personally stuck with me. ![Table seating at Hubaldae with a kid](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-09-ktlal-900.webp) ## Ordering 3 servings of pork belly and 2 of daechang Our family's pick was 3 servings of pork belly and 2 of daechang (grilled beef intestine). We wanted pork belly but couldn't give up daechang either, so we ordered both — and it turned out to be a great call. ![Table spread with 3 servings of pork belly and 2 of daechang at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-10-4mbfa-900.webp) When you order meat, several side dishes come out to go with it, and what felt different about Hubaldae compared to other pork belly restaurants was the potato and basil. ![Basic side dishes with potato and basil at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-11-1yog2-900.webp) ![Side dish plate of thin-sliced potato and basil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-12-8tg2f-900.webp) ### The grilled potato our child loved — and the trade secret behind it Grilling thin-sliced potato alongside the meat was unusual. At first I thought it was just a side, but once I tried it, this potato turned out to be a real highlight. Golden-browned in pork fat, it was nutty, soft, and delicious. Our son really loved the potato too. Mid-bite, he suddenly looked up at the staff member and asked, how do you make this potato? The staff member put on a serious face and said, that's a trade secret, I can't tell you or I'll be in big trouble — haha, our kid cracked up and so did we, and the potato became the running joke of the meal for a while. ![Potato grilling to a golden brown on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-13-xxbap-900.webp) It's not just a place where the meat is good and that's it — these little moments of playful, kind service made it even more memorable. ![Pork belly and side dishes on the Hubaldae grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-14-1dolh-900.webp) ## Why Hubaldae is easy with a kid: staff grill every piece At Hubaldae, you don't grill the meat yourself — staff handle everything from start to finish. Honestly, when you go to a Korean BBQ place with a kid, whoever's manning the grill barely gets to eat — haha. ![Staff member grilling meat on the Hubaldae grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-15-1qghy-900.webp) Flipping meat, watching the kid, keeping track of side dishes — you often end up eating in a total blur and leaving. But at Hubaldae, staff take over all the grilling, and it genuinely made things easier. ![Pork belly cut into easy bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-16-fcvqe-900.webp) They cut the pork belly into easy bite-sized pieces and kept an eye on doneness themselves, so all we had to do was sit back, chat, and wait. ![Pork belly grilling to the right doneness under staff supervision](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-17-1mjnk-900.webp) ### Pork belly with basil: the first wrap is made for you Alongside the pork belly browning nicely, they grill potato and even basil — pork belly with basil is an unusual combo if you've never seen it before. But the staff kindly walked us through how to eat it the first time and even made and handed over the very first wrap themselves. ![First wrap of pork belly topped with potato and basil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-18-1kbrn-900.webp) ![Process of making a potato-basil wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-19-xkvfl-900.webp) ![Finished bite-sized pork belly, potato, and basil wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-20-2xqwy-900.webp) Taking a bite with the meat, potato, side dishes, and basil together, I immediately understood why you eat it this way. The nuttiness of the meat, plus the potato, plus a faint basil aroma at the end — it's a totally different feel from regular pork belly. ![A piece of pork belly with a hint of basil aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-21-lrr60-900.webp) ## How do the daechang and ramyeon taste? Even after being pretty full from the pork belly, we still kept reaching for the daechang. The chewy, nutty flavor unique to daechang came through clearly, and both my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. ![2 servings of grilled daechang at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-22-1sfuv-900.webp) Three servings of pork belly plus two of daechang — our family had ourselves a proper meat party, haha. ![Ramyeon eaten alongside the meat at Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-23-1806t-900.webp) The ramyeon (instant noodles) had a really distinctive flavor too — super chewy noodles with an amazing broth! Even our ramyeon-obsessed son approved, haha. ## Final verdict on Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch What kept striking me throughout the meal was how good the staff's mood was despite how packed it was. Usually when a place is this busy, the staff would be run off their feet, but every single person we encountered was kind, without exception. And it wasn't over-the-top chatty or fussy attention either — they just checked on the meat when needed, explained how to eat it, and made sure we could eat comfortably. I found this kind of thing quietly matters a lot when eating out with a kid. Having them grill everything was especially convenient from a mom's perspective — my husband and I could eat at our own pace while still keeping an eye on our kid. Of course, if you prefer a quiet, calm dining atmosphere, it might feel a bit crowded. Even on the weekday evening we visited, it was packed. But if you enjoy the lively energy of a Korean BBQ restaurant, this place should suit you well. ![Table at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner/hubalde-jongno-daegu-family-pork-dinner-24-5ie5s-900.webp) If you're looking for a great pork belly spot on Jongno in Daegu, a Jongno meat restaurant where staff grill for you, or a place to have both pork belly and daechang together, give Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch a try.
