There was a variety of table seating, from group tables to solo-dining seats, so it looked good for eating alone and convenient for visiting with children, too. ![Group tables and solo-dining seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-17-m5tac-900.webp) ## Charcoal-grilled spicy pork set meal and kimchi stew Today, we ordered the charcoal-grilled spicy pork Korean set meal and the kimchi stew set. ### Spicy pork Korean set meal with a gentle smoky flavor The spicy pork in the [single-person brazier] spicy pork Korean set meal is grilled over direct heat, so it had a gentle smoky flavor. The sweet-and-spicy seasoning had soaked in nicely, making it perfect with rice. ![Charcoal-grilled spicy pork Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-18-1og3a-900.webp) ![Smoky spicy pork Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-19-1bdo3-900.webp) The meat was not dry and had just the right tenderness. Putting a piece of spicy pork over rice really showed why it is such a rice thief! ![Charcoal-grilled spicy pork with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-20-197z7-900.webp) ![Side dishes with the spicy pork Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-21-12nfc-900.webp) ### Kimchi stew set with side dishes Rather than receiving just one dish, we also got side dishes and doenjang-jjigae, so having a little of everything alongside the main dish felt like a properly put-together meal. The kimchi stew set we ordered also had plenty of meat, making it especially filling. The bubbling kimchi stew was pleasantly spicy and an familiar Korean dish that went so well with rice, which made it even better. ![Kimchi stew set with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-22-55guk-900.webp) ![Bubbling kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-23-x2dzv-900.webp) ![Charcoal-grilled spicy pork and kimchi stew set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae-24-2fc59-900.webp) After trying the charcoal-grilled spicy pork and kimchi stew together, I felt we had made a great choice. Ordering a meat dish and a stew to share meant we could taste both, which made it even better. If you are looking for Korean food around Apsan as well as Daemyeong-dong, I would recommend it as an Apsan Korean restaurant, too! It is also fairly close to Seobu Bus Terminal, so it could be a good lunch spot nearby. On a day when you are craving a neat, filling Korean meal, try a satisfying serving of charcoal-grilled spicy pork or kimchi stew at Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch. ## Where it is - Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch (카페동이 대명역점) - 1F, 122 Daemyeongbokgae-ro 4-gil, Nam-gu, Daegu, South Korea (대구 남구 대명복개로4길 122 1층) - 대구광역시 남구 대명복개로4길 122 1층 - 35.8400003, 128.5666178 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EB%8F%99%EC%9D%B4%20%EB%8C%80%EB%AA%85%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@35.8400003,128.5666178,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@red-order-pad/daegu-daemyeong-dwaeji-kimchi-jjigae/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
