Trying the soybean noodle soup, beef bone kalguksu, and yukgaejang kalguksu alongside a half-order of pork platter, the chewy noodles and rich broths all delivered. For a filling meal in Dongseong-ro, Donggok Jemyeon is worth the visit. ## Good to know - **Location**: 629 Gukchaebosang-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu (Donggok Jemyeon Daegu Dongseong-ro Main Branch) - **Hours**: 11:30 - 21:00 - **Parking**: Use nearby alternate parking lots; 30 minutes supported at Dongseong-ro Parking Lot with store use - **Soybean noodle soup (seasonal, summer)**: ₩10,000 - **Beef bone kalguksu**: ₩11,000 - **Yukgaejang kalguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Pork platter (half order)**: ₩10,900 - **Ordering**: Tablet at every table, order and pay in one step *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* On days when I want a really filling meal, kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) is the first thing that comes to mind!

The spiciness of the yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) paired so well with the handmade noodles that I never got tired of it, eating happily to the last bite! ![Yukgaejang kalguksu with meat and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-13-1imjg-m-900.webp) Since the noodles are made in-house, the chewy texture really came through, making the meal even more satisfying ☺️ ![Lifting up the chewy handmade kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-14-1j1ex-900.webp) ### Pork platter (half order) The meat was really tender and juicy, melting softly in the mouth. ![Half order of pork platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-15-199gh-900.webp) Eating it with the ogeuragji (dried radish pickle) that came alongside added texture and even more savory depth, so I kept reaching for more. It paired really well with the kalguksu too, so I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good bossam (boiled pork) spots in Daegu! ![Pork platter served with ogeuragji pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-16-ehwd6-m-900.webp) ![Kalguksu and pork platter laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-17-1vett-m-900.webp) ## Donggok Jemyeon — would I go back? Being able to taste noodles made in-house right in Dongseong-ro, Daegu was impressive, and the broth itself was so satisfying that I think I'll be craving this place more as the weather turns cooler. ![Table at Donggok Jemyeon after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu-18-12s6c-900.webp) If you're looking for a filling meal in Dongseong-ro, I recommend Donggok Jemyeon — a solid Korean restaurant and go-to meal spot in Dongseong-ro and a well-known Gyodong, Daegu favorite :) ## Where it is - Donggok Jemyeon Daegu Dongseong-ro Main Branch (동곡제면 대구동성로본점) - 629 Gukchaebosang-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 국채보상로 629 1층 - 35.8703598, 128.5996422 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EA%B3%A1%EC%A0%9C%EB%A9%B4%20%EB%8C%80%EA%B5%AC%EB%8F%99%EC%84%B1%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8703598,128.5996422,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorstep/donggok-jemyeon-daegu-kyodong-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
