At lunch peak time, I had assorted sushi with pork tenderloin katsu for 22,000 won and kimchi nabe udon for 8,000 won. Verdict: pair the crisp katsu with the pleasantly spicy kimchi broth. ## Good to know - **Address**: 145 Jungang-daero, Nam-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구광역시 남구 중앙대로 145) - **Hours**: 11:30 AM–10:00 PM - **Break time**: 3:00 PM–5:00 PM - **Last order**: 9:30 PM - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Parking**: No private lot; use nearby paid street public parking or alley parking.

There is no private parking lot, so you’ll need to park separately at a nearby paid street public lot or in an alley. IM Bank right next door allows parking after 4 PM. It’s within a five-minute walk of Yeongdae Hospital Station, so public transit may be more convenient. ![Exterior and parking information for Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-02-1pvyc-900.webp) ![Street scene near Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-03-1g6x8-900.webp) ![Parking area near Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-04-moid1-900.webp) ![Store information at Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-05-17yhv-900.webp) ![Visiting Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-06-uz4og-900.webp) ## What I ordered > Eden’s pick > Assorted sushi + pork tenderloin katsu 22.0 > Kimchi nabe udon 8.0 ![Order of assorted sushi, pork tenderloin katsu, and kimchi nabe udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-07-1b5d6-900.webp) ## Lunch-hour atmosphere and seating When I first walked into Sushi Naru, it was right in the middle of lunch and there was barely room to step inside. By the time I finished eating, lots of customers had left, so I finally managed to get some photos. ![Inside Sushi Naru after the lunch rush](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-08-1vysa-900.webp) Prepared ingredients are kept above the sushi counter, ready for the sushi-making to begin as soon as an order comes in. ![Prepared sushi ingredients above the counter seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-09-1yb1c-900.webp) The counter seating feels like being at a sushi restaurant in Japan. While you eat, you can watch every step of the sushi preparation beyond the open kitchen, which gives it a little Japan-trip feeling. Above all, the whole cooking process was so clean that I could relax. ![Sushi Naru counter seats facing the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-10-wa7bf-900.webp) There are window seats for eating alone too, so coming by yourself doesn’t feel awkward. ![Window seats at Sushi Naru for solo diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-11-n2qgo-900.webp) There are also about four to five tables for four. It’s a compact space, but the layout doesn’t get in the way and it can fit quite a few guests. ![Four-person table seating at Sushi Naru](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-12-cszhz-900.webp) Each table is set with utensils, soy sauce, napkins, and small sauce bowls. ![Table set with utensils, soy sauce, and napkins](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-13-1wfvr-900.webp) ## Food wait time at peak hours Sushi Naru prepares fish to order for freshness and also handles takeout and delivery, so visiting at peak time can take a while. Still, even though I came right in the middle of lunch, the food arrived in about 15 minutes. ![Sushi Naru dishes served after a lunch order](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-14-w99iz-966.webp) ## Assorted sushi and pork tenderloin katsu set The assorted sushi and pork tenderloin katsu set normally comes with mini udon as a side, but since I ordered kimchi nabe udon, they switched it to a croquette for me. ❤️ ![Set side changed to a croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-15-fu6iw-900.webp) The assorted sushi came with a good mix of favorites: tuna, salmon, flounder, shrimp, egg, and more. ![Assorted sushi with tuna, salmon, flounder, and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-16-1w3bw-900.webp) ![Assorted sushi topped with several kinds of fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-17-s5ip6-900.webp) Can you see how thick the fish is on the sushi? The softness and pleasant chew of aged fish spread through my mouth, and there wasn’t even a hint of fishiness—I was impressed. The salmon was especially rich and nutty, while the fresh raw shrimp still had that lovely springy bite. It just melts in your mouth. ![Thick aged-fish sushi and raw shrimp sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-18-28jwh-900.webp) ## Crisp katsu with kimchi nabe udon The pork tenderloin katsu had a seriously crisp crust. ![Crisp pork tenderloin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-19-1l3ln-900.webp) It makes that shatteringly crisp sound the second you bite it—instant ASMR. It’s great dipped in the katsu sauce served alongside, but I also recommend soaking it in the kimchi nabe udon broth. The pleasantly spicy flavor seeps right through it. ![Pork tenderloin katsu served with kimchi nabe udon broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-20-cppq6-966.webp) The curry croquette was nice and hot, and delicious too. ![Hot curry croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-21-eraif-900.webp) Here comes the spicy kimchi nabe udon! ![Spicy kimchi nabe udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-22-ikme4-900.webp) ![Udon noodles soaked in kimchi broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe-23-18uxw-900.webp) The savory kimchi broth had soaked into the udon noodles, and the more I ate, the more it felt like my stomach was filling with warmth. It wasn’t overwhelming even for someone who can’t handle much spice—just pleasantly spicy and easy to enjoy. If you’re looking for great sushi around Daemyeong-dong in Daegu, I recommend Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch. You can enjoy softly aged-fish sushi prepared with care, crisp katsu, and pleasantly spicy kimchi nabe udon. ## Where it is - Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch (스시나루 영대병원본점) - 145 Jungang-daero, Nam-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구광역시 남구 중앙대로 145) - 대구광역시 남구 중앙대로 145 스시나루 1층 - 35.8462918, 128.5902587 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%EC%8B%9C%EB%82%98%EB%A3%A8%20%EC%98%81%EB%8C%80%EB%B3%91%EC%9B%90%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8462918,128.5902587,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-ladle-log/daegu-sushinaru-katsu-kimchi-nabe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
