I ate oven-baked mackerel and stir-fried pork with my child, and found the mild fish and varied side dishes easy to enjoy. Reservations did not eliminate a short wait for seating, and the restaurant filled up quickly at lunch. ## Good to know - **Restaurant**: Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch (금등어 들안길 본점) - **Address**: 57 Deulan-ro, 2nd floor, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구 수성구 들안로 57 2층) - **Hours listed in the original post**: 11:00–21:20; break time 15:30–17:00 - **Menu prices**: Oven-baked mackerel ₩19,000; charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork ₩20,000 - **Children’s menu**: Oven-baked mackerel for ages 4–7: ₩10,000; ordering is required for children in this age group - **Parking and access**: Tower parking is available in the building; take the elevator to the second floor - **Seating and service**: Room-style spaces, group dining, and takeout available - **Side dishes and after-meal drinks**: More side dishes available at the self-service bar; free coffee and drinks; side dishes sold separately *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I visited Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch (금등어 들안길 본점) with my child for oven-baked mackerel.

The restaurant is on the second floor at 57 Deulan-ro in Suseong-gu, Daegu, near Deulangil Food Town. We used the building’s tower parking garage and took the elevator up. The hours listed in the original post are 11:00–21:20, with a break time from 15:30 to 17:00. Group dining and takeout are also available. ![Entrance leading up to Geumdeungeo on Deulangil](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-02-1x7jl-966.webp) ## Can you enter right away with a lunch reservation? I made a reservation in advance because I had heard it gets busy at lunch. The restaurant was neat when we arrived, but even with a reservation, we had to wait briefly before being shown in. ![Entry guidance area at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-03-uhhcq-966.webp) ![Area near Geumdeungeo while waiting to enter](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-04-jzov2-966.webp) ![Ordering and entry area at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-05-1v08y-966.webp) At the time of our visit, we waited for entry instructions even though there were empty tables, and ordered at the entrance before going in. The menu was simple, so choosing did not take long. We arrived fairly early, but the seats filled soon afterward, so there may be a wait at the entrance at lunchtime. ![Inside Geumdeungeo for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-06-o8m2i-966.webp) ## Is it comfortable with children, and is there a children’s menu? The restaurant was more spacious than I expected and had plenty of tables. The tables were fairly well spaced, so it did not feel cramped sitting with my child. There were also room-style spaces, which seemed suitable for family gatherings or meals with a larger group. The main dishes are oven-baked mackerel, charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork, and generous seasoned cockles. We ordered three servings of grilled mackerel and one serving of stir-fried pork. There is also grilled mackerel for children ages 4–7, and the notice said children in that age group are required to order it. - Oven-baked mackerel: ₩19,000 - Charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork: ₩20,000 - Oven-baked mackerel for ages 4–7: ₩10,000 ![Meal menu guide at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-07-3wpip-966.webp) ![Geumdeungeo menu guide for choosing a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-08-1458o-966.webp) ## What side dishes are served, and can you get more? After a short wait, side dishes including lotus root salad, japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), seasoned vegetables, and kimchi arrived. They were neatly arranged and went well with rice. My child especially enjoyed the japchae, so much that I had to stop them for a moment until the mackerel arrived. ![Side dishes served with a meal at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-09-1v77z-966.webp) ![Side dishes served with a Geumdeungeo family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-10-4q7mc-966.webp) ![Side dish spread served after ordering at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-11-1ddfn-966.webp) ![Side dish selection eaten with a child at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-12-ix9io-966.webp) ![Geumdeungeo side dishes served with grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-13-1ga9r-966.webp) ![Various side dishes served with a Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-14-nvxpo-966.webp) ![Side dish spread eaten with rice at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-15-d4xle-966.webp) I liked that the doenjang-guk (soybean paste soup) was not salty and had a savory depth. Even my child, who does not usually like it, ate it well. We could get more side dishes from the self-service bar, and I heard they are made in-house. The bar was also tidy, which gave me the impression that it was well maintained. ## How was the oven-baked mackerel for a child? The mackerel is said to be aged with nuruk salt before being baked in an oven. It was golden on the outside and moist inside. To me, it was not overly seasoned and did not have a strong fishy taste. The flesh was soft and mild, so it was fine to feed to my child. Still, you need to check carefully for fish bones. It went well with the side dishes, and when I wanted a little more seasoning, I lightly dipped it in the salt served alongside it. It was also convenient not to have to worry about the smell and cleanup that come with grilling fish at home. ## How was the stir-fried pork ordered with it? The charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork was one serving, but it felt generous. Its spicy-sweet flavor cut through the richness that can build up while eating mackerel. Having the pork alongside the mackerel made the meal more substantial. ![Charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork ordered with grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-16-k56d5-966.webp) ![Stir-fried pork served with a Geumdeungeo family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-17-1csov-966.webp) ## Are drinks provided after the meal? Free coffee and drinks were set out near the exit after the meal. They could be taken to go, and there were ice cups as well as paper cups. My child had a sweet-and-tart apricot juice. The side dishes are also sold separately, so you can buy any that you enjoyed. ![Drink area used after a meal at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-18-wfm0o-966.webp) ![Geumdeungeo area with after-meal coffee and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-19-3z1eu-966.webp) ![Drink corner visited after finishing a Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-20-a4x8q-966.webp) ![Area for picking up after-meal drinks at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-21-46mei-966.webp) ![After-meal drink corner at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-22-yhdd2-966.webp) ![Takeout drink area used at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-23-fezfy-966.webp) ![Geumdeungeo drink area visited after a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel-24-uj0h4-966.webp) ## Where it is - Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch (금등어 들안길 본점) (금등어 들안길 본점) - 57 Deulan-ro, 2nd floor, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구광역시 수성구 들안로 57 2층) - 대구광역시 수성구 들안로 57 2층 - 35.8349076, 128.6164612 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%88%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%20%EB%93%A4%EC%95%88%EA%B8%B8%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8349076,128.6164612,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-lunch-ledger/geumdeungeo-deulangil-family-grilled-mackerel/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
