With her mother along, the writer ordered yeolmu (young radish) tuna bibimbap, yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap, the 40-year master's kimchi jjigae and a side of assorted jeon with dumplings, shared as one full table setting, plus free refills of fried eggs and barley candy on the 2nd floor. The seasoning at Cafe Dongyi is gentle rather than sharp, making it a tidy home-cooked Korean meal that works well for a visit with parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, Suseong SK Leaders View, 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu (98m from Exit 1, Hwanggeum Station) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00, break 15:00–16:30 - **Last order**: 14:00 / 20:00 - **Parking**: 2 hours free at the Homeplus parking lot; enter the last digits of your plate number on the pad - **Yeolmu bibimbap sets (3 kinds)**: Basic 7,900 won / Tuna 8,900 won / Bulgogi 9,900 won - **40-year master's kimchi jjigae set**: 9,900 won - **Young zucchini doenjang jjigae set**: 8,900 won - **Dongyi flame-grilled spicy stir-fried pork set**: 9,900 won - **Dongyi flame-grilled pork bulgogi set**: 9,900 won - **Sliced beef belly doenjang jjigae set**: 10,500 won - **Pork shoulder Japanese curry set**: 9,900 won - **Single-serve brazier hanjeongsik set**: Flame-grilled spicy pork and pork bulgogi 12,900 won each, Grandma's baby octopus stir-fry 16,900 won - **Dongyi nuruk pork loin sweet and sour pork**: Extra large 720g 39,600 won / Medium 360g 23,900 won / Small 180g 17,800 won / Mini taster 100g 9,900 won - **Free refills**: Fried eggs and barley candy on the 2nd floor - **Price reference**: ₩8,900 ≈ $6.6 · ₩9,900 ≈ $7.3 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Korean meal set at Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 near Hwanggeum Station, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-01-i0jfz-1200.webp) A while back I went to 'Cafe Dongyi Daemyeong Branch' and was so impressed with how tidy and delicious the food was, that this time I brought my mom to Cafe Dongyi Branch 1, near her place. Being the No. 1 branch, the store was packed with customers and full of lively energy near Hwanggeum Station — here's my review! ![Exterior of Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 on the 1st floor of Suseong SK Leaders View](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-02-10lg5-826.webp) ## Cafe Dongyi Branch 1: location, hours and parking - Location: 1st floor, Suseong SK Leaders View, 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu (98m from Exit 1, Hwanggeum Station) - Hours: Monday–Sunday 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–16:30) - Last order: 14:00 / 20:00 - Parking: Free 2 hours at Homeplus parking lot ![Interior of Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 with open-kitchen layout](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-03-w4f9y-900.webp) The interior has an open-kitchen setup with two floors.

While we waited for our order, we made some fried eggs. The eggs were so fresh too. ![A generous Cafe Dongyi meal set laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-12-rtdnm-900.webp) After a short wait, our food arrived! It smelled amazing and looked so generous 🥰 Having it come as a set table made everything feel so clean and put-together. ![Yeolmu tuna bibimbap served with seaweed soup and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-13-92w2u-900.webp) ![Yeolmu tuna bibimbap topped with tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-14-1k9m3-900.webp) ![Close-up of yeolmu kimchi bibimbap before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-15-1akbh-900.webp) ## How did the yeolmu tuna bibimbap taste? Cafe Dongyi Branch 1's yeolmu tuna bibimbap (₩8,900) had crisp, refreshing yeolmu kimchi (young radish greens) with plenty of savory tuna mixed in — when I stirred it and took a bite, the texture was great and it was really delicious. It felt like a healthy meal, and since it had been a while since I'd had bibimbap, my mom was very satisfied with this dish too! The seaweed soup and side dishes that came with it were also fresh — taking a bite of bibimbap, then a side dish, then the soup, made me feel like I was properly enjoying a tidy Korean meal. ![Side dishes served with the yeolmu tuna bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-16-45c11-900.webp) ![A bowl of mixed yeolmu tuna bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-17-1k3nk-900.webp) ![Seaweed soup and a tidy Korean meal set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-18-gmojb-900.webp) ## Yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap topped with a grilled egg The yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap (₩9,900) was an even better combination! The bulgogi had a subtle smoky char that paired with the fresh yeolmu for a really clean bite. Topping it with a grilled egg and mixing it all together made it so much smoother and richer. The sauce was seasoned just right, so once I mixed everything in, it wasn't salty at all — the seasoning was spot on and it was delicious. ![Yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap topped with bulgogi and yeolmu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-19-a8vev-900.webp) ![Yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap topped with a grilled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-20-hlnl3-831.webp) ![Yeolmu bulgogi bibimbap mixed with seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-21-1vn4z-895.webp) ## The 40-year master's kimchi jjigae The kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) we also ordered had a rich, spicy broth that went great with the bibimbap. My husband ordered it for himself, but it was so good I ended up eating most of it haha. With that deep broth flavor, a whole bowl of rice disappeared in no time. Thanks to the generous, fresh ingredients, the broth was so delicious. The seasoning wasn't sharp or overpowering — just the right balance that keeps you coming back for more — so I finished the whole broth! I think I'll keep craving this spicy, refreshing kimchi jjigae. ![A pot of the 40-year master's kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-22-fxnd6-900.webp) ## Sides: assorted jeon and dumplings We also had the assorted pan-fried jeon and dumplings that came as sides — the jeon was crispy outside and moist inside. They were fried just right, so it wasn't greasy at all and felt clean. The dumplings were also packed full of filling, and when I dipped one in the soy sauce that came with it and took a bite, the juices just came flowing out 👍👍 The seasoning was spot on too, so they were tasty even without the soy sauce. Once I started, I couldn't stop popping them in my mouth haha. ![Assorted pan-fried jeon and dumplings ordered as sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-23-ylp7y-900.webp) ![Close-up of a dumpling dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal-24-1ejwb-900.webp) ## A home-cooked Korean meal worth sharing with parents The combination of the savory assorted jeon, the hearty dumplings, and the neat Korean-style meal made for a very satisfying dinner! The jeon was fried to a nice golden brown so it wasn't greasy at all, and the dumplings had a satisfyingly full filling. Including the bibimbap, the whole meal wasn't over-seasoned — it was just right, and we enjoyed it a lot. My mom said she had no idea there was such a tidy, well-put-together Korean restaurant so close to home, and she ate so happily that I really felt it was worth bringing her along. If you're ever craving a neat home-style meal or a hearty Korean spread, I don't think you'll regret visiting. I'd recommend this to anyone in the Suseong-gu, Hwanggeum-dong area looking for good Korean home cooking ❤️❤️ ## Where it is - Cafe Dongyi Branch 1 (카페동이 1호점) - 95 Dongdaegu-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea (Suseong SK Leaders View) - 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/@gyeongbuk-meal-pages/cafe-dongi-hwanggeum-korean-set-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
