The course allows up to three refills of sashimi, though the pair were too full to take more than one — a filling, good-value tuna dinner.

## What kind of tuna restaurant is Hangil Tuna in Janggi-dong, Daegu?

Hangil Tuna is a specialist restaurant centered on bluefin tuna (참다랑어). According to the shop, it selects large tuna weighing over 250kg and serves aged bluefin and wild swordfish belly as its signature offerings.

The biggest fun of a tuna specialist restaurant is being able to taste everything from clean, lean red meat to rich, fatty belly, depending on the cut.

Arriving after work, Hangil Tuna had that distinctive Japanese-restaurant atmosphere right from the entrance. On weekends or peak hours, walking in without a reservation can mean a long wait, so I'd recommend booking ahead!

## What are the seats like at Hangil Tuna?

When looking for a quiet place to eat in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, the seating and atmosphere matter almost as much as the food.

Hangil Tuna's interior is more spacious than it looks from outside, with private rooms and seating areas in addition to the bar table, making it good for groups of various sizes.

It also suits a quiet meal with conversation, and works well as a spot for gatherings with friends or a special-occasion dinner.

Being able to savor each piece slowly in the calm atmosphere typical of a tuna specialist restaurant is part of Hangil Tuna's charm.

We went with the Manager Special at ₩58,000 for two people that day hahaha

## What comes with the course besides the tuna?

One thing about Hangil Tuna is that plenty of food arrives even before the tuna sashimi itself haha

![Abalone porridge served at the start of the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-10-1kzzs-966.webp)

Abalone porridge comes first to settle the stomach before drinking haha it was really nutty and delicious.

![Skidashi spread including egg dish and clam soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-11-8emqg-966.webp)

Skidashi (side dishes) come out first, starting with an egg dish, clam soup, gim (dried seaweed), and baek-kimchi (white kimchi).

![Side dishes including gim and baek-kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-12-g21ga-966.webp)

![Plate of skidashi side dishes at Hangil Tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-13-t47jo-966.webp)

![Tuna stew and grilled Chilean seabass side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-14-1n9hc-966.webp)

Then comes the tuna sashimi, followed by tuna stew and grilled Chilean seabass, with more drinking snacks slipped in between hahaha

![Plate of tuna sushi and fried shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-15-vukp5-966.webp)

Then tuna sushi, fried shrimp, and udon follow, so it feels less like a plain tuna sashimi meal and more like a full varied spread. The tuna sushi in particular looked beautiful and tasted amazing hahaha

![Udon rounding out the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-17-3galf-966.webp)

So for anyone looking for a Daegu tuna restaurant who cares about the overall spread and not just the cuts of tuna, this place will be quite satisfying.

## What the 58,000 won Manager Special platter looks like

Finally, the main event arrived — the Manager Special tuna sashimi!

![Manager Special tuna sashimi set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-18-kl5zn-966.webp)

The bright crimson thawed color of the tuna on the plate immediately caught the eye.

Each plate is neatly arranged with 6–8 pieces per cut, and the thawing was done perfectly, without being too cold or mushy — just the right crisp-yet-tender texture. We were too full that day and only managed one round, which was such a shame ㅠㅠ

### Bluefin belly (baekkopsal) and otoro, the fattiest belly cut

Bluefin baekkopsal and otoro (fatty belly) are cuts with striking marbling — the moment they hit your mouth, the rich tuna oil spreads smoothly. The flavor was so deep that even a generous dab of wasabi didn't taste spicy at all.

![Heavily marbled bluefin otoro](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-19-c9uax-966.webp)

### Bluefin gamasal, bigeye tuna belly and mekadoro

Bluefin gamasal has a chewy, distinctive texture, and the nuttiness is maximized when wrapped in gim with a bit of oil-soy sauce and baek-kimchi added.

Bigeye tuna bokyuk and mekadoro (swordfish belly) have a clean yet slightly crisp texture that's especially appealing, and dipping them in oil-soy sauce creates a perfect balance.

![Bigeye tuna bokyuk and mekadoro cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special/daegu-janggi-dong-tuna-siljang-special-21-sjurk-966.webp)

Even though it's all the same fish, tuna's flavor and texture change dramatically by cut, so there's real fun in comparing piece by piece. The lean red meat is clean and easy to enjoy, while the marbled belly cuts spread rich nuttiness through the mouth, letting you fully feel tuna's signature charm.

## Is Hangil Tuna in Daegu worth it? Final verdict
