Parking can be a concern in the middle of downtown, but the restaurant supports 30 minutes of parking at Dongseong-ro Parking Lot, just a three-minute walk away, so it is easy to visit 👍 ![Donggok Jemyeon storefront and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-03-n8jnr-900.webp) ![Donggok Jemyeon storefront and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-04-11s7j-900.webp) ![Donggok Jemyeon storefront and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-05-15di8-900.webp) ![Donggok Jemyeon storefront and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-06-k231p-900.webp) ![Donggok Jemyeon storefront and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-07-r6bi1-900.webp) ## Warm wood interiors that are great with children The warm, lovely wood interior makes this a perfect spot for a date or a family meal! It is also very well equipped with baby chairs, making it a really good place to bring young children. Our 28-month-old sat nicely in a baby chair and enjoyed the meal with us too 👶 ![Donggok Jemyeon's wood interior and baby chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-08-1byxf-900.webp) ![Interior of Donggok Jemyeon for dining with children](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-09-15mp6-900.webp) ## The kalguksu and boiled pork we ordered - Hanwoo beef-bone kalguksu: regular noodles in a deep, savory beef-bone broth simmered in-house - Yukgaejang kalguksu: a spicy, rich specialty with plenty of meat and scallions - Half portion of gabrisal boiled pork: mild, tender pork with the fatty parts neatly trimmed - Rice: unlimited and complimentary When you order, they bring out spicy, delicious geotjeori kimchi (fresh kimchi). It has plenty of punch and umami, and it is an absolutely perfect match for the kalguksu! It was a little spicy even for someone with a low spice tolerance, but it was so good that we immediately asked for a refill 🌶️ ![Donggok Jemyeon kalguksu and fresh kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-10-1uxkn-1200.webp) ![Ordered dishes and complimentary rice at Donggok Jemyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-11-d3jeg-900.webp) ![Spicy fresh kimchi and kalguksu table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-12-2qhkq-900.webp) ## How was the Hanwoo beef-bone kalguksu broth? Because the Hanwoo beef-bone broth is simmered in-house, it was simply deep and rich! Even people who do not usually love beef-bone broth would take a sip and go, “Oh? This is so delicious!” The chew of the house-made regular noodles went wonderfully with the rich broth and sauce, and it was perfect for sharing with a child too 😋 ![Hanwoo beef-bone kalguksu and yukgaejang kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-13-k392a-900.webp) ## The spicy kick of yukgaejang kalguksu The yukgaejang kalguksu, with its spicy, rich broth, is also a perfect menu choice for a hangover! It comes generously loaded with meat and green onion, giving it a deep umami flavor, and the broth soaked right into the house-made noodles. We finished the whole bowl in no time 👍 ![Yukgaejang kalguksu topped with meat and green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-14-323e3-900.webp) ![Rich yukgaejang kalguksu broth and house-made noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-15-x1ned-900.webp) ## Half a plate of gabrisal boiled pork and free rice We also ordered a half portion of gabrisal boiled pork, just right for two people to share alongside the kalguksu! The fatty parts had been trimmed neatly, so we could enjoy it lightly without it becoming greasy until the end. Top the tender pork with spicy geotjeori kimchi or musaengchae (seasoned shredded radish), and it is truly a perfect combination 👏 The bowls of rice are complimentary, so we mixed rice into the kalguksu broth, topped it with the boiled pork, and ended up absolutely stuffed! ![Gabrisal boiled pork and kalguksu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon-16-fe1zm-900.webp) ## Finishing the meal with yogurt As we were leaving after our meal, they even gave us sweet yogurt on the house, which made for such a pleasant finish! This is truly a great kalguksu spot with deeply flavorful broth, and the combination of house-made noodles and gabrisal boiled pork was perfect. With Dongseong-ro parking support, baby chairs, and complimentary rice, it is ideal for a family meal! Whenever we are craving a Korean restaurant in Dongseong-ro or a good meal around Gyodong in Daegu, we will definitely be back 👍 ## Where it is - Donggok Jemyeon Daegu Dongseong-ro Main Branch (동곡제면 대구동성로본점) - 629 Gukchaebosang-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구광역시 중구 국채보상로 629 1층) - 대구광역시 중구 국채보상로 629 1층 - 35.8703598, 128.5996422 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EA%B3%A1%EC%A0%9C%EB%A9%B4%20%EB%8C%80%EA%B5%AC%EB%8F%99%EC%84%B1%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8703598,128.5996422,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-meal-map/daegu-gyodong-kalguksu-suyuk-donggokjemyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
