Sincheon-dong raw beef and yukjeon for two, Daegu: Mihyang Mungtigi

Introducing Mihyang Mungtigi, a raw beef restaurant near Dongdaegu Station! I always used to walk past and see it packed with people, looking so fun (?), and thought I wanted to visit at least once — and finally made it happen ✌️

Where is Mihyang Mungtigi, and what is the restaurant like?

Mihyang Mungtigi Dongdaegu Station branch is on the 1st floor of 31 Dongbu-ro 32-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea — a spot that used to be Mihyang Gukbap. It's in Sincheon-dong, close to Dongdaegu Station, so it's an easy pick for a group dinner too.

Apparently this used to be the Mihyang Gukbap spot (local Dongdaegu Station trivia)

Just the sign alone screams 'this is a place where the drinks flow easy'... 😵

I love these little details — the food covers placed on top of the basic side dishes made it feel like visiting a friend's house, so cute

The raised-level seating is roomy too, so it seems good for group seating or group gatherings

There were a lot of people who'd reserved ahead too — when you walk into a place and see a bunch of reserved tables, it gets you excited because it feels like a real find 😆🤍

What's on the menu at Mihyang Mungtigi?

Mihyang Mungtigi's main menu is mungtigi, raw chadol sashimi, and mungcha banban, each in small/medium/large, plus Korean beef yukhoe (raw beef tartare). On the side there's Korean beef yukjeon, yukhoe bibimbap, yukhoe kalbimmyeon, ramyeon with beef someone else cooks for you, and ice cream.

• ✅ Main menu — Mungtigi (S/M/L), raw chadol sashimi (S/M/L), mungcha banban (S/M/L), Korean beef yukhoe
• ✅ Side menu — Korean beef yukjeon / yukhoe bibimbap / yukhoe kalbimmyeon / ramyeon with beef someone else cooks for you / ice cream

Sometimes after eating you're left wanting a bit more but not sure what, so it's nice that there are add-on options for mungtigi and raw chadol sashimi haha. Personally I love raw chadol sashimi, so I'd recommend the mungcha banban menu

Kalbimmyeon...? Good 🤍

📌 Naver receipt event — (for 1 person) choice of 1 drink — (for 2 people) ramyeon or ice cream. There's a Naver receipt event too, so join in and grab a drink / ramyeon / ice cream!

It looks like an old-school place but is so clean inside — I love that

The side dishes at Mihyang Mungtigi: a filling spread on their own

Mihyang Mungtigi's basic side dishes are set out first — corn mayo, quail eggs, hardtack biscuits, seaweed — followed by a clear beef radish soup, donggeurangttaeng (meat patties), and napjjak mandu (flat dumplings) with chives. When you're eating raw beef and yukhoe, you oddly start craving carbs, and the basic side dishes fill that gap.

This too is all just the basics...! But even the basics were all delicious, seriously. Clear beef radish soup, donggeurangttaeng, napjjak mandu + chives — when you're eating sashimi and yukhoe you oddly crave carbs, and the basic side dishes were filling and tasty, so good 🤤

Ordering for two: mungcha banban (small) plus Korean beef yukjeon

What we ordered at Mihyang Mungtigi was the mungcha banban small and Korean beef yukjeon. This combo of cold raw beef paired with warm yukjeon was just right for a two-person visit.

I really want to recommend this exact combo 🤤 If you're ordering something cold, you've got to order something warm alongside it, right? Ordering the fresh mungcha banban with warm Korean beef yukjeon was just perfect

Mungcha banban only uses same-day slaughtered mungtigi so it was fresh and nutty. Good raw chadol sashimi is genuinely hard to find, but this one really looked fresh even in photos, with just the right fat ratio — nutty and delicious

That napjjak mandu and seasoned minari (water dropwort) were also no joke as basic side dishes. You wrap the minari in the napjjak mandu and eat it — crunchy, with a nice minari aroma, so good!

How to eat mungtigi: vinegared rice, seaweed and the dipping sauce

Mihyang Mungtigi also serves vinegar rice on the side, so I ate a hearty meal 🫡 They recommended the seaweed + vinegar rice + mungtigi + sauce combo, so I tried it, and it was delicious

They said the sauce is clean, sweet, salty, not greasy, and nutty — and it really was. It was exactly the sweet-and-spicy, chewy-textured sauce I love ✌️

Is Mihyang Mungtigi a good spot for a group dinner?

Mihyang Mungtigi is close to Dongdaegu Station and the raised seating area is roomy, so it works well for group gatherings and company dinners too. Since there seem to be a lot of reserved tables, it looks like booking ahead via Naver Reservation is a good idea.

Close to Dongdaegu Station! The staff were kind! The basic side dishes kept coming! Not noisy, just lively chatter going around! A place I'd love to visit again next time paying with my own money 🌹
