I ordered the 42,000 won rosé mala xiang guo set with 6,000 won Tsingtao draft beer and loved the creamy spice and crispy nuroongji guobaorou.

So I know everyone is wondering where to go—I visited this Chinese food bar in Galma-dong, Daejeon, where the atmosphere and food were completely my taste! 🤤 I’d read reviews saying it was already a hot spot with crazy waits, so I went in a little nervous, but luckily I got moving early and walked right in without waiting, haha. Let me share my real review of this even more enjoyable, no-wait visit! ![Yongju’s atmosphere before entering](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-02-cdh07-900.webp) ## A unique atmosphere that feels like a trip to China 🏮 It has such an exotic vibe that I was like, “There was a place like this in Daejeon?”!! When you step inside, a huge dragon sculpture hangs from the ceiling—I honestly felt like I’d walked onto a movie set. ![Yongju interior with a dragon sculpture on the ceiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-03-1oglc-900.webp) I heard that waiting is practically a given on weekend evenings and at peak times. There aren’t a huge number of seats, so if you’re planning to visit, I absolutely recommend making a Naver reservation in advance! ![Yongju seating and waiting information](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-04-b575f-900.webp) ![Yongju seating and waiting information](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-05-bv69u-900.webp) Even if there is a wait, you can leave your number at the front and look around nearby—the time will pass quickly, so you won’t be bored before heading in~ ![Waiting information outside Yongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-06-1birz-900.webp) ## Yongju at a glance - Location: 1F, Unit 101, 31 Daedeok-daero 161beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon (Galma-dong; in the alley across from Haedeun Mart) - Hours: Friday–Tuesday, 17:00–02:00 the following day; last order 01:10 - Regular closing days: Every Wednesday and Thursday - Parking: No dedicated parking.

The menu I ordered that day was the rosé mala xiang guo set! It costs ₩42,000, and the selection is seriously insane. Of course, I also ordered Tsingtao draft beer (₩6,000), which is an absolute must 🍻 ![Rosé mala xiang guo set and Tsingtao draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-08-w63e6-900.webp) First of all, doesn’t the rosé mala xiang guo look unbelievably mouthwatering? ㅠㅠ I love mala xiang guo (dry pot with numbing mala spices) and eat it often, but the rosé sauce gently wrapped up mala’s signature tongue-tingling, fragrant heat. ![Mala xiang guo with rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-09-13eud-900.webp) It wasn’t overly intense, yet the thick sauce coated every single ingredient so well that I almost scooped up and ate the sauce itself ㅠㅠ Beef brisket, all kinds of vegetables, bunmoja chewy starch noodles, glass noodles—no matter how much I picked out, more just kept appearing. Magic... ![Rosé mala xiang guo with beef brisket and bunmoja noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-10-qn32n-900.webp) For the half-and-half option that came with the set, I chose nuroongji guobaorou and garlic cream shrimp, and it was seriously amaaaazing! 🥹 The guobaorou, sweet-and-sour fried pork, was topped with crispy nuroongji scorched rice, so every bite had the most artistic crispy-chewy texture... ![Half-and-half nuroongji guobaorou and garlic cream shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-11-16w28-900.webp) Have one bite of spicy rosé mala xiang guo, then one bite of sweet, crispy guobaorou, and you can honestly keep eating forever, hehe. ![Rosé mala xiang guo paired with nuroongji guobaorou](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-12-1hady-900.webp) ![Rosé mala xiang guo paired with nuroongji guobaorou](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-13-u1kl7-900.webp) And the foam on the Tsingtao draft beer served in a chilled glass was absolutely next level too!! It went down so cleanly that pairing it with Chinese bar food felt almost unfair 😭 ![Tsingtao draft beer in a chilled glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-14-1r45d-900.webp) ## How was it for a date or group dinner? Every dish felt carefully made rather than thrown together, and the chef’s cooking skills are seriously no joke. ![Chinese dishes ordered at Yongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-15-1x3zy-900.webp) It’s great for a date, and it’s also just perfect for a friends’ get-together or a casual dinner-and-drinks stop in Galma-dong 👍 I also saw they have a Naver review roulette event!! If you win, that’s such a score. ![Naver review roulette event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-16-iygtg-900.webp) ![Naver review roulette event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-17-1anlf-900.webp) If you want to enjoy inventive Chinese food with an ice-cold beer, definitely stop by Yongju, a great Galma-dong spot. ![Chinese food and beer enjoyed at Yongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose-18-11mqs-900.webp) ## Where it is - Yongju (용주) - 1F, Unit 101, 31 Daedeok-daero 161beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 대덕대로161번길 31 1층 101호 - 36.3486982, 127.3745625 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9A%A9%EC%A3%BC/@36.3486982,127.3745625,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-steel-tray/galma-chinese-pub-mara-rose/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
