I share restaurant visits from Daegu and Gyeongbuk. · Writes about: Restaurants
Yukdaejang Pohang Yangdeok is a yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) restaurant on Sindeok-ro in Yangdeok-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang. The writer, a regular for 3 years, had the brisket yukgaejang for a solo lunch and enjoyed its spicy broth packed with brisket, beef flank, green onion and glass noodles. Verdict: Yukdaejang Pohang Yangdeok is a solid pick for a filling meal, whether you eat alone or with a group.
Honcalla Soigalbijjim (홍칼라소갈비찜) is a Korean restaurant in Jangseong-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang, specializing in spicy galbijjim (braised beef short ribs). Dining alone, the blogger ordered the 18,000 won Honcalla single galbijjim, which came with 4 beef ribs, glass noodles, rice cakes and potato dumplings, plus generous side dishes including cheese steamed egg, muk-sabal (acorn jelly in chilled broth) and tortillas. Honcalla Soigalbijjim is a good-value lunch spot in Jangseong-dong where one person can enjoy braised beef ribs without overspending.
Pujutgan Saenggogi-jeom is a cauldron-lid pork belly restaurant in Haengdang-dong, Seongdong, Seoul, near Wangsimni Station. Raw pork belly and pork neck cost 20,000 won per person, and staff grill the thick Korean pork at the table before you move on to unlimited stew, cold water naengmyeon, spicy bibim naengmyeon, janchi guksu (banquet noodles) and nurungji (toasted rice). At 20,000 won per person Pujutgan Saenggogi-jeom isn't cheap, but the meat quality and the endless dessert courses made it a fully satisfying meal.
Plan A Restaurant is a Western restaurant by Songdo Beach in Pohang, Gyeongbuk. I ordered the Korean beef ribeye steak medium-well and enjoyed it with wine sauce and whole-grain mustard before walking along the night sea. Plan A Restaurant is a great pick for ocean views and a juicy steak.
