# Friday evening solo seats at a Daegu Korean restaurant: Hyangtaek - By Taeho Byun (https://superchart.com/en/@jinnyang-noon-skillet/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Dalseo, Daegu - Sponsored: This post was written after a visit sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@jinnyang-noon-skillet/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@jinnyang-noon-skillet/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/index.md) ## In short Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch is a newly opened Korean restaurant near Exit 5 of Gangchang Station in Dalseo, Daegu. An evening visit brought mackerel gondre rice (14,000 won) and yukhoe bibimbap (14,000 won), plus a mushroom platter (6,000 won) free through the weekday review event. Wood-tone interiors with two- and four-seat tables made solo dining easy, and the mackerel gondre rice was the most memorable Korean dish this writer has had recently. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 71 Hosan-dong-ro 35buk-gil, Dalseo-gu, Daegu (332m from Gangchang Station Exit 5) - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:00–20:00 - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Last order**: 15:00 and 19:30 (break 15:30–17:00) - **Parking**: Street parking in the alleys near the restaurant - **Mackerel gondre rice**: 14,000 won - **Yukhoe bibimbap**: 14,000 won - **Mushroom platter**: 6,000 won - **Review event**: Weekdays only (not weekends or holidays), free mushroom platter - **Alcohol**: Not served - **Price reference**: ₩14,000 ≈ $10 · ₩6,000 ≈ $4.3 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Today I'm introducing a newly opened Keimyung University spot — a Korean restaurant called 'Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch' 🙋‍♂️ ![Exterior of Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-01-a113u-900.webp) ## Where is Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch, and when is it open? > Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch > 🚩 71 Hosan-dong-ro 35bukgil, Dalseo-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 1st floor (332m from Kangchang Station Exit 5) > ⏰ Mon-Sat 11:00-20:00, closed Sundays / Last order 15:00, 19:30 (break time 15:30-17:00) > 🅿️ Alley parking near the restaurant ![Interior of the busy restaurant during evening hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-02-cg62e-900.webp) ## Wood-tone dining room with solo-friendly tables and a semi-open kitchen I visited in the evening and the place was packed. Very much the busy vibe of a newly opened Keimyung spot!! I liked the clean wood-tone feel of the space, and with both four-top and two-top tables, it looked great for solo dining too. ![Wood-tone interior with two-top and four-top seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-03-vxtno-900.webp) The kitchen is semi-open too!!

The lettuce stem pickles and salted seafood are so savory they're total rice thieves, and the doenjang soup (fermented soybean paste soup) was so good too 🤤 ## Mackerel gondre rice, 14,000 won: wrapped in gim with salted seafood ![Full table setting with mackerel gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-11-y7o77-900.webp) This is the mackerel gondre rice (₩14,000)! Isn't it gorgeous just looking at it?! And the smell of the gondre (dried thistle greens) is so nutty. ![Gondre rice topped with seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-12-ydhu0-900.webp) Mixing the mild mackerel with the savory-sweet sauce — chef's kiss. The fragrant gondre smell alone puts you in a good mood before it even hits your mouth, and once properly mixed together, it was so delicious. ![Gondre rice mixed with seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-13-102jn-900.webp) The seasoning sauce is so good you could finish the gondre rice on its own! ![A soft piece of grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-14-122bg-900.webp) ![Mackerel served together with gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-15-1x42d-900.webp) The mild mackerel was soft and lovely, and it paired perfectly with the gondre rice. ![Gondre rice and salted seafood wrapped in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-16-pdt4k-900.webp) Top with the salted seafood and wrap it in seaweed — oh man~~~ (fully endorse this way of eating it 👍) ![Yukhoe bibimbap with beef tartare piled in the center](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-17-1izqx-900.webp) ## Yukhoe bibimbap, 14,000 won: no gamey taste and a generous portion The yukhoe bibimbap (beef tartare mixed rice, ₩14,000) also came out beautifully! The yukhoe (raw seasoned beef) is piled up in a neat round in the center — so pretty, right?! Pretty and generous — pure happiness! Mix the egg yolk in well and there's so much rice and vegetables underneath too??!! ![Yukhoe bibimbap mixed with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-18-1fo46-900.webp) ![A spoonful of yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-19-6y8nb-900.webp) The yukhoe has zero gamey taste and is well-seasoned. Delicious even eaten straight with rice!!!! Also great wrapped in seaweed — definitely try it!! ![Fried mushroom platter received from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-20-sw96s-900.webp) ## The 6,000 won mushroom platter free through the weekday review event This is the mushroom platter (₩6,000) I got from the review event. It has all kinds of mushrooms — enoki, shiitake — and the crispy batter combined with the soft mushrooms is a match made in heaven. ![Crispy fried enoki and shiitake mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-21-1uoq1-900.webp) It's nicely salty right out of the box!! I was craving a beer, but thankfully they don't sell alcohol, so I held strong 😂 ![Full table spread with mackerel gondre rice, yukhoe bibimbap, and mushroom platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner/hyangtaek-seongseo-keimyung-friday-dinner-22-syy87-1200.webp) ## Is Hyangtaek worth a visit?
