There was a Bongja Makchang in Daegu's Jongno too. I had such a craving for makchang after a long time, so off I went ☺️ Head straight into the alley directly opposite Manggyeonggwan and you'll find Bongja Makchang's Jongno Branch ☺️! There are outdoor waiting seats so you can wait comfortably, and you can reserve ahead on Catchtable too!! ### Inside Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-01-bimzt-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-02-1prs6-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-03-qnco8-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-04-6thv0-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-05-g6knr-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-06-upgqh-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-07-c65ct-966.webp) ![Interior of Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-08-6sjw4-966.webp) Even though I visited late at night, it was absolutely packed. We lucked out with the last table ✨ Sitting by the window, there was a lovely cool breeze, and our table was just so, so nice~ The place is spacious too, so anything from two people to a group can dine here! For groups, try Naver Booking or phone reservations. One more special thing about Bongja Makchang! Doenjang ramen, steamed egg, and patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red beans) are unlimited. You can have all the doenjang ramen that is essential with makchang, plus steamed egg and patbingsu that little ones love. So, so good 👍🏻 ## Bongja platter menu and tablet ordering At Bongja Makchang, the Bongja Platter lets you try two different meats on one grill, and it is a seriously popular menu item! You can enjoy various meats such as fresh makchang, seasoned makchang, fresh pork belly, and fresh pork neck on one platter. ![Bongja Platter menu options at Bongja Makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-09-15va0-966.webp) ![Tablet ordering menu at Bongja Makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-10-pvp7n-966.webp) Ordering is easy on the tablet at the table. You can add more meat too, so add meat if it is not enough! There are meal dishes including chicken feet, pork skin, and fried rice, along with plenty of drinks 😆 ## Self-serve bar sides and a half pork belly, half makchang platter ![Side dishes served with makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-11-cwumv-966.webp) ![Side dishes served with makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-12-1c0xv-966.webp) ![Side dishes served with makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-13-a02et-966.webp) Here come all the sauces and delicious sides to eat with the meat. The vegetables are at the self-serve bar, so if you love ssam (wrap) vegetables, just pick up the ones you want there. And if you run short on any of the other sides, head to the self-serve bar for those too! ![Half pork belly and half makchang mixed platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-14-jsfcd-1200.webp) ![Half pork belly and half makchang mixed platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-15-1sklx-966.webp) Bongja half-and-half mixed meat platter (₩43,000). I ordered one platter split between pork belly and makchang. As soon as it comes out, a staff member arranges it prettily on the grill. My delicious, pretty pile of meat, drool 🤤 The makchang comes par-grilled, so it cooks quickly. Just wait until it turns golden brown, then dig in. ![Pork belly and par-grilled makchang on a stone grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-16-1orco-966.webp) ![Pork belly and par-grilled makchang on a stone grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-17-1dce0-966.webp) Put the bracken, kimchi, and bean sprouts on the grill and cook them together too. Meat with bracken is the truth, the truth!! The crispy, salty bracken was insanely delicious. ![Meat grilling with bracken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-18-1uzpf-966.webp) ![Meat grilling with bracken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-19-1wv9h-966.webp) ![Meat grilling with bracken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-20-1dowi-966.webp) ![Meat grilling with bracken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-21-15cab-966.webp) Because it is a stone grill, the meat cooks incredibly well. It turns golden in no time 😋 There was so much that the two of us ate until we were bursting. And you know the dipping sauce is important with makchang, right?? Bongja Makchang's makjang (fermented soybean dipping sauce) is delicious too 😆👍🏻 ![Grilled makchang eaten with makjang dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-22-4eeqe-966.webp) ![Grilled makchang eaten with makjang dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-23-1jsjx-966.webp) ![Grilled makchang eaten with makjang dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja-24-1u6bq-966.webp) ## Ramen self-serve bar and beef brisket soybean paste stew If you love ramen, cooking some is a must! The self-serve bar has various kinds of ramen ready to go. It is perfect for choosing one to suit your taste. And such thoughtful touch from Bongja Makchang's Jongno Branch ✨ There were hygiene items such as hair ties, toothpicks, and dental floss next to the self-serve bar. Beef brisket soybean paste stew (₩5,000). We are the kind of people who cannot live without rice, hahaha, so we immediately ordered rice with the stew!! Even the stew was packed full of meat. We polished off a bowl of rice with the savory, spicy stew, then walked out holding our about-to-burst bellies,,,, and a staff member followed us out to personally spray deodorizer on every single guest,,, I am touched ❤️ From the moment you walk in until you leave, Bongja Makchang Jongno Branch is kind all the way through—and Bongja's food is kindly delicious too~ If you are looking for a great restaurant, barbecue spot, or makchang place in Daegu Jongno, I highly recommend Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch 👍🏻 ## Where it is - Bongja Makchang Daegu Jongno Branch (봉자막창 대구종로점) - 49-1 Jong-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 종로 49-1 1층 - 35.8702605, 128.5910988 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%89%EC%9E%90%EB%A7%89%EC%B0%BD%20%EB%8C%80%EA%B5%AC%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.8702605,128.5910988,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menus-and-memories/daegu-jongro-makchang-selfbar-bongja/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
