On a drizzly weekday visit there was no wait to get in, and the ramen ordered at the end tasted like tantanmen, good enough to justify one more bottle of soju. Hubaldae was the best barbecue restaurant tried so far in Jongno, Daegu. ## Good to know - **Location**: 50 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, 1st floor (Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch) - **Grilling**: Staff grill the meat, potatoes and basil for you - **Extra potatoes**: No extra charge; ordered two more rounds - **Served alongside**: Basil, angelica leaves, kimchi jjaglae (braised kimchi) - **Waiting**: Weekday visit with rain on and off, seated immediately with no wait *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Table spread of meat at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-01-pssbz-1200.webp) ## Hubaldae in Jongno, Daegu: the BBQ spot that flooded my DMs This was genuinely the best barbecue I've had recently... I posted a story right after eating because it was so good, and I got flooded with DMs asking where it was haha. It tasted just as good as it looked, so I've been recommending it to everyone I know. ![Screenshot of a DM asking where the restaurant is](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-02-1dqil-966.webp) ![Screenshot of a message asking for Hubaldae's location](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-03-j5zu2-912.webp) ![Screenshot of an inquiry message after seeing the story post](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-04-pgu27-966.webp) It's true, I couldn't even screenshot them all, this is just a fraction lol. I'd already been curious after seeing mostly glowing reviews while researching Jongno spots in Daegu, but I'd heard the wait was long so I never got around to it. I finally made a plan and went on a weekday. Maybe because it was drizzling on and off, I got seated with no wait at all. After eating, it really was amazing and the staff were so kind too, I get why there's usually a wait. I genuinely want to go back and eat there again ㅠㅠ haha. Out of all the restaurants I've tried in Jongno, Daegu, this was the best, and the staff kindness score is a 5,000 out of 100! ![Pork belly and thinly sliced potatoes on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-05-145xp-966.webp) ## Potatoes grilled with the pork belly, at no extra charge A Hubaldae staff member grills the meat for you, and what surprised me was that they grill thinly sliced potatoes right alongside it. The potatoes soak up the fat and come out so thin and delicious. Do they charge extra for potatoes? Nope! I had them refilled twice haha. ![Side plate of basil and angelica leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-06-1ypsq-966.webp) Basil and angelica leaves come out too. Basil especially gets grilled together with the meat — I wondered if basil and meat would even go together, but it was genuinely so good ㅠㅠ. ![A wrap showing how to eat with basil on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-07-ic6vq-966.webp) The staff showed me how to wrap it with basil on top, and the moment I tried it I actually shrieked because it was so good haha. ![Kimchi jjaglee eaten alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-08-4gw9s-966.webp) ### Pork belly, potato and kimchi jjaglae: the wrap that works This is the kimchi jjaglee (braised kimchi stew) you eat alongside the meat. At first I thought — basil with meat? That's such an odd combo. But once I tried it together with the kimchi jjaglee too, I immediately understood why they serve it this way haha. ![Potato topped with basil, kimchi jjaglee, and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-09-19zoi-966.webp) The thinly sliced potatoes soak up the pork fat and are amazing on their own haha, but then you top them with basil and kimchi jjaglee, add a piece of meat dipped in sauce, and eat it all together — honestly, this was a genuinely new flavor, and it was so good I immediately understood why Hubaldae is popular haha. ![Menu board at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-10-4uzbv-966.webp) ## Seasoned daechang grilled with chives at Hubaldae This is the Hubaldae menu — prices are pretty reasonable, right? Portions are generous too, so at these prices... it can't possibly not be popular. The daechang (beef intestine) came pre-seasoned. The staff grilled it deliciously together with chives. Since they grill everything for us, we just get to relax and eat haha. The daechang was genuinely delicious too, so I recommend ordering it alongside the pork belly! ![Seasoned daechang grilling with chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-11-1o3wo-966.webp) ## The finishing ramen tastes like tantanmen, so we ordered another soju I genuinely went back and forth on whether to order the ramen at the end (because I was so full). But if we hadn't ordered it, that would've been a real mistake haha. ![Finishing ramen with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-12-70lib-966.webp) ![A bowl of Hubaldae's tantanmen-style ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-13-kmnp8-966.webp) It wasn't the typical ramen flavor I know — something different, and genuinely delicious. There was meat in the ramen but it wasn't greasy at all, and it had kind of a tantanmen vibe going on. Anyway, this is a flavor you have to try to understand. We ended up ordering one more bottle of soju while eating the ramen. From the pork belly to the daechang, everything was delicious, and the ramen at the end sealed the deal. Especially the potato topped with meat, basil, and kimchi jjaglee — I don't think I'll forget that one. Next time I come back, I'm getting that exact combo again. ![Final table shot at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen-14-1xfyd-966.webp) ## Who should visit Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch? - Anyone looking for a barbecue restaurant in Jongno, Daegu - Anyone who likes staff-grilled Korean barbecue - Anyone who wants both pork belly and daechang - Anyone who enjoys unusual meat combinations ## Where it is - Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch (후발대 대구종로점) - 50 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 1st floor - 대구광역시 중구 종로 50 1층 - 35.8702804, 128.5913351 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%9B%84%EB%B0%9C%EB%8C%80%20%EB%8C%80%EA%B5%AC%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.8702804,128.5913351,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-napkin-fold/hubaldae-jongno-daechang-ramen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
