Whenever I'm craving it, there's one place my feet head to without hesitation — my personal go-to spot I want to introduce as a Banwoldang Korean restaurant: Banwoldang Bujasikdang (반월당부자식당). Usually I go for the classic fire-grilled pork stir-fry, but this time I wanted something new. I ordered the squid-and-pork stir-fry, which lets you have both smoky hot-plate squid and pork together. Today I'll walk you through the atmosphere, menu, and taste of this Banwoldang Korean restaurant in detail. ## Location and exterior of Banwoldang Bujasikdang ![Alley exterior of Banwoldang Bujasikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-02-1629a-900.webp) Bujasikdang sits in an alley across from Daegu's The Hyundai department store, so it's not hard to find. It's about a 2-3 minute walk from the Banwoldang Station underground shopping center exit, so accessibility is good too. That makes it a great option for anyone looking for restaurants near Daegu's The Hyundai. ## How long was the weekday evening wait? ![Entrance and waiting area at Banwoldang Bujasikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-03-1y5fj-900.webp) This is already a well-known, truly popular Banwoldang spot, so waiting is basically a given! We visited around 6:30pm on a weekday and there was one party ahead of us, so we waited about 5 minutes before getting seated. Lunchtime waits tend to run longer, so if you're planning a visit, registering ahead with Tabling might be a good idea. ![Restaurant hall packed with customers on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-04-69vje-900.webp) As a leading spot in Jung-gu, the food satisfaction here makes the wait totally worth it — it's also a place that often comes to mind when I'm looking for a good Banwoldang lunch spot. ![Wall covered in autographs](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-05-v28pk-900.webp) Looking at the wall covered in autographs, it turns out even soccer players are regulars here — a real autograph hotspot! ![Cozy interior tables of the Korean restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-06-1ddbb-900.webp) ![Separate room-style seating space](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-07-sat75-900.webp) ## Interior, rooms, and the lettuce self-serve bar The interior has that cozy, homey Korean restaurant feel, and besides the hall tables there's also a separate room-style space off to one side. It looked great for private meals or small gatherings. When I visited, the hall was completely full — there's clearly a reason this place keeps being loved as a Banwoldang Korean restaurant. Looking toward the kitchen while walking around, I caught a flashy fire show in full swing. Watching ingredients get tossed and seared in an instant over high flames, I understood exactly why Bujasikdang has that signature deep, smoky flavor! ![Fire-grilling in progress in the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-08-1h9gf-900.webp) ![Lettuce at the self-serve wrap bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-09-5x32m-507.webp) There's also a self-serve bar with fresh lettuce for wraps, help yourself to as much as you want. ## Menu and prices ![Banwoldang Bujasikdang's signature menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-10-xasp3-900.webp) Signature menu (soybean stew included / rice sold separately) - Buja short rib (min. 2 people) — ₩14,000 per person - NEW hot-plate fire-grilled squid-pork stir-fry — ₩14,000 - Fire-grilled squid stir-fry (min. 2 people / mild or spicy) — ₩13,000 per person - Fire-grilled pork stir-fry (min. 2 people / mild or spicy) — ₩12,000 per person - Solo menu: soybean stew & bibimbap — ₩10,500 ### What we ordered that day - Hot-plate fire-grilled squid-pork stir-fry for 2 — ₩14,000 × 2 - Rice — ₩1,000 × 2 - Total — ₩30,000 ## The hot-plate squid-pork stir-fry, starting with the side dishes ![Cabbage salad and side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-11-1hqhe-966.webp) After ordering, the side dishes came out — instead of the fried burdock that usually shows up during daytime visits, this evening we got a cabbage salad with a refreshing dressing, maybe because it was evening, or maybe the side dishes had just changed! Alongside it came crisp radish salad, mung bean sprouts, stir-fried seaweed stem, and pickled onion — a generous spread. ![Hot-plate squid-pork stir-fry topped with enoki mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-12-wwomq-900.webp) And finally, the main dish we'd been waiting for — the hot-plate squid-pork stir-fry arrives! On a sizzling hot plate sits spicy stir-fried pork and squid, generously topped with enoki mushrooms. Doesn't it already look like it's giving off that smoky fire flavor? You tuck the enoki mushrooms underneath the hot plate so they wilt down a bit. ![Enoki mushrooms wilted under the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-13-ikae5-900.webp) As the mushrooms wilt underneath the plate, the sweet-and-spicy smoky sauce from the pork and squid soaks into them, leaving them moist and flavorful. This is honestly an underrated delicacy. ![Close-up of thick fire-grilled squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-14-31czk-900.webp) ### How's the squid texture? The squid was really thick and plump, and you could feel that bouncy texture the moment you bit in. It wasn't chewy, but moist, and it paired really well with the sweet-and-spicy sauce. I came for pork stir-fry near Banwoldang but got to properly enjoy the squid too — glad I went with the squid-pork combo. ![Smoky fire-grilled pork stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-15-139d9-900.webp) ### Taste of the fire-grilled pork The pork was tender and soft, with no gamey smell. Most importantly, being properly seared over high flame, the smoky flavor went deep into the meat — that's the highlight! With a sweet-spicy sauce plus that deep fire-grilled aroma, it went perfectly with rice. If you're looking for a Banwoldang Korean restaurant where you'll want to properly finish a bowl of rice, this kind of fire-grilled dish is exactly it. ![Lettuce wrap with squid and pork piled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-16-1morz-900.webp) The squid alone is delicious, and the pork alone is excellent, but piling both onto a lettuce wrap together really finishes off a bowl of rice in no time. ![Bowl of nutty black rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-17-ifgl9-900.webp) ## DIY bibimbap with black rice The rice at Bujasikdang comes as nutty black rice, which adds even more depth of flavor. ![Assembling black rice and side dishes in a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-18-1f55n-900.webp) Into the bowl provided, you scoop black rice, then generously add the bean sprouts and radish salad from the side dishes, plus plenty of the smoky squid and pork stir-fry. Mix it all with a spoon, and — DIY bibimbap complete! ![Finished DIY squid-pork bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-19-s7axs-900.webp) ![A spoonful of bibimbap lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-20-1hqg0-900.webp) The chewy squid, tender pork, and crunchy vegetables came together in a really nice texture combo. I'm a big fan of seaweed stem too, so the extra chewy, crunchy bite from that made it even better. ![Complimentary savory soybean stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner/banwoldang-korean-stone-plate-ojae-dinner-21-1csqv-900.webp) And since the bibimbap can get a bit spicy, sipping a little of the savory soybean stew that comes as a free side smooths out the heat nicely. The distinct nutty flavor of the fermented soybean paste cleans the palate, so you keep eating without ever getting tired of it, right to the last bite. ## Looking for a pork stir-fry spot near Banwoldang?
