Korean lunch by Dongdaegu Station: gondeure rice vs yukhoe, Hyangtaek
Hyangtaek (향택) main branch is a Korean restaurant in Dong-gu, Daegu, in an alley across from Dongdaegu Station and Shinsegae Department Store Daegu, serving rice bowls and bibimbap made with familiar ingredients like gondeure (thistle greens), Spanish mackerel, yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) and eggplant. The writer shared the Spanish mackerel gondeure rice and the yukhoe bibimbap at Hyangtaek, ₩14,000 each: the mackerel was a little dry, but the gondeure's flavor and texture beat expectations, and the yukhoe bibimbap tastes best with plenty of sauce. With a neat table setting, bar seats and tablet ordering, Hyangtaek is worth a visit for a Korean lunch near Dongdaegu Station.
