Two couples who set off from Changwon at 8 p.m. ordered the premium seafood fish cake stew — whole squid, blue crab, mussels and shrimp with rice cake and egg — plus lemon peach and strawberry highballs, and the broth was so refreshing they added a bowl of rice right away. Eomuk Pocha Tong is a good place for a drink outdoors on a cool evening. ## Good to know - **Location**: 4F, 27 Hyodong-ro 2-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu - **Hours**: Daily 16:00–01:00 (last order 00:30) - **Closed**: Last Sunday of every month - **Parking**: Street parking in the nearby alleys - **What we ordered**: Premium seafood fish cake stew, lemon peach highball, strawberry highball, Hetbahn (instant rice) - **Complimentary sides**: 2 kimchi pancakes, salad, snacks, water - **Refills**: Free broth refills; rice cake, fish cake, egg and bean sprouts cost extra - **Seating**: Indoor pocha tables plus outdoor (yajang) seats - **Restrooms**: Separate men's and women's inside *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* I came to Daegu for a little birthday trip!!!

Once we got to Daegu we were wondering where to go, and ended up getting pulled in by this outdoor pocha — booked a place to stay, parked, and after walking about 5 minutes it was totally downtown!! So flashy and glamorous haha ![Building exterior and sign for Eomuk Pocha Tong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-02-xkogm-900.webp) ![Building passageway leading to the entrance of Eomuk Pocha Tong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-03-1wcqr-900.webp) You go inside the building, take the elevator up to the 4th floor, and there's Eomuk Pocha Tong, the Dongchon outdoor pocha spot! ![Entrance to Eomuk Pocha Tong on the 4th floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-04-1ugpg-900.webp) ![Interior of Eomuk Pocha Tong with a pocha atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-05-7qnqh-900.webp) ![Table layout inside Eomuk Pocha Tong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-06-18ypn-m-900.webp) ## Indoor tables or the outdoor rooftop seats at Eomuk Pocha Tong? Eomuk Pocha Tong has both indoor pocha seating and outdoor yajang seating. This is the indoor look of Eomuk Pocha Tong, the Dongchon outdoor pocha place!? The inside is full of that pocha vibe too, right!? ![Seating inside Eomuk Pocha Tong with strong pocha character](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-07-juppq-1200.webp) This spot inside had the strongest pocha feel and I really wanted it!? But the weather's been so pleasantly cool lately!? So if there's outdoor seating, that's where we have to sit!!!! 🥹 ![Outdoor yajang seating at Eomuk Pocha Tong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-08-irj1h-900.webp) Straight out to the yajang we went!! I don't drink, but I really love this kind of atmosphere ㅠㅠ 😝 These days I find pocha-style places more comforting than the pretty, well-decorated spots — coming somewhere like this just warms my heart haha ![Menu board at Eomuk Pocha Tong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-09-j5r6y-900.webp) ## Ordering the premium seafood fish cake stew: kimchi pancakes come free What we ordered at Eomuk Pocha Tong was the premium seafood fish cake stew. It comes with basic sides — 2 kimchi pancakes, salad, snacks, and water. This is the menu board at Eomuk Pocha Tong, the Dongchon outdoor pocha spot!? Both couples came straight from work without dinner, so we were starving and ready to eat anything lol ![Kimchi pancake, salad, and snacks served as basic sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-10-192fv-900.webp) The kimchi pancake was seriously delicious — I love those old-school snacks so I scarfed down the whole plate before the fish cake stew even arrived. I really need to cut back on snacking, this is a real problem 🥹 ![Lemon peach highball and strawberry highball, two glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-11-h2em4-900.webp) ### How do the lemon peach and strawberry highballs taste? My sibling ordered the lemon peach highball and strawberry highball, and they came out!! The lemon peach highball is exactly as the name says — a mix of lemon and peach iced tea flavor apparently!? The strawberry highball has a subtle strawberry taste, sweet and refreshing! Both would be good even for people who can't drink much, they said — and between the two, the strawberry highball was the better one haha ## What's in the premium seafood fish cake stew: whole squid and blue crab The premium seafood fish cake stew comes with whole squid, crab, mussels, shrimp, fish cake, rice cake, radish, and bean sprouts. When our order arrived ㅠㅠ🥹 the visual was insane — true to its name, it was packed with seafood along with plenty of fish cake and rice cake haha ![Premium seafood fish cake stew piled with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-12-1kea0-900.webp) ![Seafood fish cake stew with whole squid and crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-13-v5iaa-900.webp) Whole squid, crab, mussels, shrimp, fish cake, rice cake, radish, bean sprouts — it came out generously loaded with all sorts of ingredients!! Can you see how plump and chewy the whole squid is ㅠ The legs were down under the broth!! I would've been disappointed if there were no legs 🤢 ![Whole squid and fish cake in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-14-13hop-900.webp) ![Egg found in the seafood fish cake stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-15-dh8bh-900.webp) There were 2 eggs in there and I ate them both lol Protein charged~~~🤍 Look at that plump, chewy rice cake,,, I'm a rice cake killer lol lol Ah, this place is just so good, seriously ㅜ ![Plump, chewy rice cake add-in](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-16-ixmyc-900.webp) ![Rice cake and fish cake lifted out of the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-17-1oxmc-900.webp) ![Seafood fish cake hot pot simmering](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-18-8vicq-900.webp) My partner served up a plate loaded with a generous helping haha My favorite bean sprouts, egg, rice cake, and radish cooked until soft — such a perfect combo,,🤍 ![Small plate of bean sprouts, egg, rice cake, and radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-19-idqzy-900.webp) ![Seafood fish cake ingredients served on a small plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-20-3baw8-900.webp) ![A plate of seafood fish cake broth and ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-21-1t464-900.webp) ## A broth that calls for rice, with free refills At Eomuk Pocha Tong, the broth refills are free, and rice cake, fish cake, egg, and bean sprouts can be added separately. And the broth is genuinely so refreshing,,, my partner ordered a Hetbahn (instant rice) the moment he tasted it. As carb addicts, neither of us can live without rice apparently — the broth really was the kind of taste that calls for rice haha ![Hetbahn instant rice ordered alongside the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-22-53uw1-900.webp) Since the broth refills are free and rice cake, fish cake, egg, and bean sprouts can be added separately, we added bean sprouts and ate up haha ![Seafood fish cake stew with added bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-23-m2qbs-900.webp) ![Table at Eomuk Pocha Tong wrapping up in the outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha-24-r35ux-900.webp) ## Two couples' verdict on Eomuk Pocha Tong in Daegu The restroom is inside the store, with separate men's and women's haha My overall impression of Eomuk Pocha Tong, the Dongchon outdoor pocha spot! You can drink while easing a hangover, and maybe because it's outdoor seating, my partner and this couple said neither got too drunk and it was the perfect drinking snack haha It's the kind of taste we'll think about back in Changwon, so both couples promised to come back and eat here again after our weddings haha The pocha atmosphere is so good that if you're looking for a perfect outdoor pocha to visit in this cool weather, I recommend Eomuk Pocha Tong, the Dongchon outdoor pocha spot :) ## Where it is - Eomuk Pocha Tong (어묵포차통) - 27 Hyodong-ro 2-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea (4F) - 대구광역시 동구 효동로2길 27 4층 - 35.8810507, 128.6513981 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B4%EB%AC%B5%ED%8F%AC%EC%B0%A8%ED%86%B5/@35.8810507,128.6513981,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@southern-tablebook/daegu-dongchon-yajang-seafood-odeng-pocha/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
