# Grilled octopus skewers at a Goseong-dong, Daegu BBQ: Sangnok Hoegwan - By Saeum (https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-meal-break/) - Written Sep 23, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Buk-gu, Daegu - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-meal-break/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@daegu-meal-break/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/index.md) · [日本語](https://superchart.com/ja/@daegu-meal-break/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/index.md) ## In short Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan Gui Goseong Branch is a briquette-grill BBQ restaurant in the Goseong-dong restaurant alley in Buk-gu, Daegu, where pork, beef and grilled shellfish all come from one table. The writer and a meat-loving partner ordered 3 servings of pork belly, cheese scallops and nakji horong gui (grilled octopus skewers, 5 pieces for 8,900 won). With 10 scallops buried in cheese, Sangnok Hoegwan is good value for grilled shellfish; the only letdown was the vinegar-chili sauce served with the octopus. ## Good to know - **Location**: 39 Goseongbuk-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Daegu — near Bukgu-cheong Station, in the Goseong-dong restaurant alley - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; alley parking available - **Order**: 3 servings of pork belly, cheese scallops, grilled octopus skewers, a bowl of rice - **Grilled octopus skewers**: 5 pieces for 8,900 won (as the writer recalls) - **Cheese scallops**: 10 scallops in total - **Review perk**: Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) or grilled pork skin for writing a Naver review - **Visit time**: Early weekend evening, with a reservation - **Price reference**: ₩8,900 ≈ $6.5 (2026-09-24) *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* I've been craving seafood like crazy lately, but my partner is a total meat person, so I never get to eat it ㅠㅠ So I went looking for a place we could both enjoy and found Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan Gui Goseong Branch — great value and a nice atmosphere too. Here's my honest review! ## Where is Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch, and where can you park? Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch is near Bukguchung Station, right in the Goseong-dong restaurant alley. There's no dedicated parking lot, but you can park in the alley! ![Exterior of Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan Gui Goseong Branch in the Goseong-dong restaurant alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-01-1mr7r-900.webp) We booked a table and went early on a weekend evening. They serve everything from pork and beef to seafood 🐖🐂🐙, so it's a great spot for a group with different tastes. ![Menu board listing pork, beef and seafood at Sangnok Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-02-15gqh-900.webp) ![Seafood menu section at Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-03-1ppn7-900.webp) ![Spacious interior of Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch with wide tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-04-pclvc-900.webp) ## What the restaurant feels like inside The first thing I noticed walking in was how clean and pleasant it felt. It reminded me of a shellfish-grill place I went to in Yeongjongdo, Incheon — haha. Lots of tables, and the place was bigger than I expected. Being able to enjoy meat and seafood together is already a plus, but the prices were also reasonable, which was great 👍🏻 ## The order: 3 servings of pork belly, cheese scallops and octopus skewers - Pork belly x3 - Cheese scallops - Grilled octopus skewers - Bowl of rice We ordered pork belly for my partner, and scallops and octopus skewers for me. ![Table set up with pork belly and cheese scallop orders](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-05-1lytm-m-900.webp) If you write a Naver review you get a free doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) or grilled pork skin, so make sure to claim that haha. ![Table with a sign about the Naver review perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-06-2ppod-900.webp) ## The side dishes at Sangnok Hoegwan, and the standout mu-saengchae This is the basic table setting at Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch — they even gave us marshmallows to grill up, which we happily ate. And that mu-saengchae (spicy radish salad) in the white jar — genuinely delicious. Eaten with the meat, it was insane. Hard to describe, but it wasn't like any mu-saengchae I'd had before. If you visit, you have to try it..! 😋😋 They gave us a generous amount too, and I keep thinking about the mu-saengchae we left behind, haha. ![Basic table setting including mu-saengchae in a white jar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-07-s4qgm-900.webp) ![Sangnok Hoegwan's basic banchan spread including marshmallows](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-08-1gp58-900.webp) ## Briquette-grilled pork belly and cheese scallops Brick-shaped pork belly next to scallops piled high with cheese — the visuals alone were insane, right? It had been so long since I had shellfish grill, I was so excited... ![Table setting with brick-shaped pork belly and cheese-topped scallops](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-09-1e4br-900.webp) Getting to enjoy meat and cheese scallops together at the same time — isn't that just pure happiness haha. ![Pork belly and cheese scallops cooking together over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-10-uvmrn-1200.webp) Grilling over charcoal made everything taste even better, I think? The bean sprout salad and kimchi that came with it were also amazing once grilled and eaten together. ![Pork belly grilling over charcoal alongside bean sprout salad and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-11-9a8ni-900.webp) ![Cheese melting over grilled scallops on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-12-t7pjg-900.webp) The amount of cheese was overwhelming, so you had to dig around to find the scallops buried underneath — but once you got a full bite, it was so soft and chewy, and with the savory cheese and the sweet-and-sour chili sauce mixed in, it was pure chaos in the best way. ![A scallop lifted out from under a layer of melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-13-1kzuy-900.webp) ![A bite of cheese scallop with vinegar-chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-14-16pfo-900.webp) Adding some pork belly in between bites really made it perfect. ![Finished pork belly and cheese scallops on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-15-dmgue-900.webp) ## Grilled octopus skewers: 5 pieces for 8,900 won Partway through the meal we added an order of grilled octopus skewers — 5 skewers total for what I think was ₩8,900. Isn't that really cheap? ![Five additional grilled octopus skewers ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-16-1eas6-900.webp) A seafood party after so long made me so happy... Being grilled gently over charcoal made it taste even better. ![Grilled octopus skewers cooking gently over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-17-u7qs3-900.webp) ![Smoky grilled octopus skewers with vinegar-chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-18-1iyz6-900.webp) It would've been even better with a spicy sauce instead of the vinegar-chili sauce, so that was a bit of a letdown, but it was still chewy and full of smoky charcoal flavor, so I enjoyed it haha. I got my partner into grilled octopus skewers too, and they ate more than I expected, which made me proud~~ Popping a whole skewer in your mouth and chewing gives you that chewy, bouncy party in your mouth. It wasn't tough either, which was even better! ![A single bite-sized grilled octopus skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-19-1b1gi-900.webp) ## Is 10 scallops good value for grilled shellfish? When I counted, there were 10 scallops total, though I ate most of them, haha. The scallops were genuinely huge and there was so much cheese, so the value was great! Shellfish grills are usually really expensive ㅠㅠ ![Table cleared after the two diners finished their meal at Sangnok Hoegwan Goseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop-20-gk52z-900.webp) The two of us cleaned our plates, and if you're looking for a good restaurant in Goseong-dong, Buk-gu, this is a real recommendation..! It's in a whole street lined with restaurants, and there were plenty of other places, but Sangnok Hoegwan was the one packed with customers. Food comes out fast and the value is insane — I recommend visiting Sangnok Hoegwan, the go-to restaurant in Goseong-dong, Buk-gu. ## Where it is - Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan Gui Goseong Branch (상록회관 연탄구이 고성점) - 39 Goseongbuk-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 북구 고성북로 39 1층 - 35.8834433, 128.5833175 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%83%81%EB%A1%9D%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EC%97%B0%ED%83%84%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4%20%EA%B3%A0%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%90/@35.8834433,128.5833175,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-meal-break/sangnok-gosedong-nakji-horong-cheese-scallop/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
