The writer ordered the solo-grill jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork) set and the grilled bulgogi set at 12,900 won each plus a mini tasting tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) at 9,900 won, with unlimited fried eggs and rice, and the smoky charcoal-grilled pork was the standout over rice. Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 is the pick for a tidy, filling Korean spread in Daegu, and the glutinous rice tangsuyuk is the side to add. ## Good to know - **Visit date**: September 13, 2026 - **Location**: 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong SK Leaders View, Suseong-gu, Daegu (right in front of Hwanggeum Station, next to Coffee Myungga) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Parking**: 2 hours free at the Hwanggeum Homeplus parking lot - **Ordered**: [Solo grill] Dongyi grilled bulgogi set 12,900 won / Grilled jeyuk bokkeum set 12,900 won / Mini tasting tangsuyuk 9,900 won - **Stew swap**: Doenjang jjigae by default; kimchi jjigae for 1,000 won more - **Unlimited refills**: Fried eggs and rice - **Seating**: Split-level: two 2-person tables on the first floor, group seating for up to 8 on the second *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* On September 13, 2026, I visited Cafe Dongyi Branch 1, in front of Hwanggeum Station in Dusan-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu. It's located at 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong SK Leaders View, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea, open daily 11:00–21:00 with a break time of 15:00–16:30. Parking is free for 2 hours if you park at the Hwanggeum Homeplus lot. ## Where is Cafe Dongyi Branch 1, and where do you park? Cafe Dongyi is a long-standing favorite in Hwanggeum-dong, located in the SK Leaders View commercial building right in front of Hwanggeum Station. I first came here on a recommendation about ten years ago, and this was my first visit back in quite a while. Ah, one note — even though the name has "cafe" in it, this isn't a cafe. It's a restaurant serving neat, home-style Korean set meals. ![Exterior of Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 in the SK Leaders View building in front of Hwanggeum Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-01-3azc0-966.webp) Park in the Homeplus Hwanggeum branch lot below the building for 2 hours free, then take the elevator or stairs up — Cafe Dongyi is right on the main street (next to Coffee Myeongga). ![Entrance to Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 seen from the main street](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-02-87w97-966.webp) ## Inside Cafe Dongyi: open kitchen and split-level seating Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 has an open kitchen on the first floor where you can watch the cooking, and a split-level layout: two small 2-person tables on the first floor, and group tables seating up to 8 on the second floor. It's cozy and charming, but going up to the second floor could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues or elderly guests. ![Interior of Cafe Dongyi with the open kitchen visible on the first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-03-1vs41-966.webp) ![2-person table seating on the first floor of Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-04-h2ck6-966.webp) ![Full interior view of Cafe Dongyi's split-level layout](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-05-15ff5-966.webp) ![Group seating table on the second floor of Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-06-kjt82-966.webp) ## Cafe Dongyi menu: solo set meals and a kids' set Cafe Dongyi's menu is built around solo sets — jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork), grilled pork bulgogi, doenjang jjigae, kimchi jjigae, and more — each served as an individual set meal. There's also an affordable kids' set for ages 3–7, so it seemed like a good option for a family meal too. Cafe Dongyi is a Korean restaurant, but the one thing you must order here is the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). Since there was a mini tasting portion available alongside the solo grill jeyuk bokkeum set and the grilled bulgogi set, we ordered one small mini tangsuyuk. ![Menu board for Cafe Dongyi's set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-07-1bl82-966.webp) ![Menu breakdown of the solo grill set at Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-08-m9olw-966.webp) ![Menu board for stews and side dishes at Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-09-247fm-966.webp) ![Menu board listing the kids' set at Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-10-1go89-966.webp) ## Unlimited fried eggs and rice at Cafe Dongyi At Cafe Dongyi you can fry up as many eggs as you want, and even though this is a rice-focused restaurant, the rice itself is also unlimited. ![Self-service corner for frying eggs](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-11-f3pji-966.webp) ![Self-service station for unlimited rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-12-36pat-966.webp) ![Cafe Dongyi's set meal served on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-13-1a07b-966.webp) ![Full spread of the solo grill jeyuk bokkeum set at Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-14-1pqx0-1200.webp) ## What we ordered at Cafe Dongyi and what it cost - [Solo grill] Dongyi grilled bulgogi set ₩12,900 - [Solo grill] Dongyi grilled jeyuk bokkeum set ₩12,900 - Mini tasting tangsuyuk ₩9,900 ![Comparison of the grilled bulgogi set and the grilled jeyuk bokkeum set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-15-11acf-966.webp) ![Table set with both doenjang jjigae and kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-16-1utvm-966.webp) (Left) Grilled bulgogi / (Right) Grilled jeyuk bokkeum. We kept one with the default doenjang jjigae and swapped the other for kimchi jjigae for an extra thousand won. The doenjang jjigae tasted like it had a cheonggukjang (fermented soybean) base, and the kimchi jjigae was loaded with pork. ![Basic side dish of pickled gungchae (aster stem)](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-17-4dmbu-966.webp) ![Basic side dish of stir-fried anchovies](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-18-1v3rw-966.webp) ![Basic side dish of dried radish strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-19-1q2va-966.webp) ![Omija tea served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-20-v5ee2-966.webp) The solo grill set comes standard with three side dishes — pickled gungchae (aster stem), stir-fried anchovies, and dried radish strips — plus omija tea (five-flavor berry tea) to drink for dessert. ![Soy-sauce based grilled bulgogi cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-21-1a90n-966.webp) ![Smoky gochujang-based grilled jeyuk bokkeum](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-22-1lv4u-966.webp) ## Grilled jeyuk bokkeum vs. bulgogi: which set wins? The grilled bulgogi is soy-sauce based, while the grilled jeyuk bokkeum is gochujang (red pepper paste) based — and honestly, we both liked the jeyuk bokkeum a lot more. It had a stronger smoky char and the sauce was slightly spicy-sweet, genuinely dangerous for how much rice it made us eat. Cooking over the grill also meant the meat stayed warm right until the last bite, which I really appreciated. ![Mini tasting portion of glutinous rice tangsuyuk at Cafe Dongyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set-23-c2i4p-966.webp) ## Why the glutinous rice tangsuyuk is a must-order Dongyi has long been famous for its glutinous rice tangsuyuk. It's a Korean restaurant, but the tangsuyuk holds its own against Chinese restaurants — made with glutinous rice, it's crispy yet chewy, and the sauce is mild, just slightly tangy and sweet rather than sharp. From the full set meal to the mini tangsuyuk, we finished the meal completely full and completely satisfied. Cafe Dongyi, the home-style Korean restaurant near Hwanggeum Station in Daegu, started as Branch 1 here about ten years ago and has since grown into a chain across Daegu that many people have come to trust. It's a Daegu Korean restaurant I'd recommend when you want a neat, filling set meal, and the glutinous rice tangsuyuk is so good — don't forget to order it as a side! ## Where it is - Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 (카페동이 1호점) - 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong SK Leaders View, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 수성구 동대구로 95 수성 SK 리더스뷰 - 35.8392165, 128.6235378 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EB%8F%99%EC%9D%B4%201%ED%98%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8392165,128.6235378,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-side-street/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-grilled-jeyuk-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
