I liked that the fish stayed warm throughout the meal and that we could refill the house-made side dishes; it felt well suited to a family meal or gathering. ## Good to know - **Location**: Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch, 2F, 57 Deulan-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - **Wood-fired grilled mackerel**: ₩19,000 per person, as of Sep 3, 2026 - **Spicy stir-fried pork**: ₩20,000 per person, as of Sep 3, 2026 - **Parking**: Three tower-parking facilities on the first floor - **Side-dish refills**: House-made side dishes can be refilled at the self-service bar - **Dessert**: Gangjeong, coffee, apricot juice, and cups of ice - **Takeout sales**: Side dishes ₩5,000 per pack; mackerel ₩7,000 per pack, as stated in the original post *as written by the visitor on Sep 3, 2026* My mother and I had wood-fired grilled mackerel and spicy stir-fried pork at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch (금등어 들안길 본점). It was my first visit back in a while, and I remembered the fish served warm and the side dishes that suited my taste. ![Visit to Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch in Suseong, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-acf7/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-01-pkbnc-1200.webp) ## Is it a good place for a family meal? The restaurant is on the second floor at 57 Deulan-ro in Suseong-gu, Daegu. There are three tower-parking facilities on the first floor, so we parked and went upstairs. The interior was pleasant, with tables lined up inside a house-shaped decorated space. I thought it would be a nice place to bring older family members, or for a family meal or gathering. ![Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-02-1wzfx-900.webp) ## How much were the grilled mackerel and spicy pork? At the time the original post was written, the wood-fired grilled mackerel was ₩19,000 per person and the spicy stir-fried pork was ₩20,000 per person. We ordered two servings of grilled mackerel and one serving of spicy pork. ![Grilled mackerel and spicy pork meal at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-03-auvdx-900.webp) ## Which side dishes can you refill at the self-service bar? We could take as much of the house-made side dishes as we wanted from the self-service bar. Lotus root and salad were available, with japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) and seaweed on the opposite side. ![House-made side dishes at Geumdeungeo's self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-04-j3awg-900.webp) ![Geumdeungeo self-service bar with lotus root and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-05-1sbrs-900.webp) ![Geumdeungeo self-service bar for refilling side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-06-zenhx-900.webp) The japchae was kept warm over a flame. I went back for some more during the meal, and I liked that the refilled japchae was warm too. ![Self-service bar with warm japchae refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-07-16ysb-900.webp) ![Geumdeungeo side-dish area with japchae and seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-08-1qqyi-900.webp) ![Indoor dining area at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-09-x6ju6-900.webp) ## How were the side dishes served with soybean paste soup? The geundae doenjang-guk (Swiss chard soybean paste soup) was served over a flame. Once it came to a boil, we were to turn the heat down from 8 to 3, flip the hourglass, then turn off the heat and eat when all the sand had run through. Prepared this way, it suited my taste. ![Swiss chard soybean paste soup served with Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-10-wpy0j-900.webp) Among the dishes set out, the sweet-and-sour seaweed was especially memorable. It is not usually a side dish I eat much of, but I finished it. ![House-made side dishes served with a Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-11-1p4dr-900.webp) ![Geumdeungeo side dishes with seaweed and japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-12-186fu-900.webp) I started the meal with the salad. I also enjoyed the pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi), as its seasoning was to my taste. ![Salad and side dishes served with a Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-13-4w6j2-900.webp) ![Vegetable side dishes including green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-14-1m9vw-900.webp) ![Vegetable side dishes including lotus root at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-15-1wgka-900.webp) The lotus root had a mild, soft perilla-seed seasoning. The doraji (bellflower root) was good too, and the stir-fried anchovies and peanuts had a clean taste. ![Geumdeungeo side dishes including bellflower root](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-16-a5f2m-900.webp) ![Geumdeungeo side dishes with anchovies and stir-fried peanuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-17-jg5u3-900.webp) ## What did the wood-fired mackerel and spicy pork taste like? The seasoning on the spicy stir-fried pork suited my taste. The warm pork went well with steamed rice. ![Spicy stir-fried pork with rice at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-18-1nue1-900.webp) The wood-fired mackerel was moist and not overly salty. Dipped in nuruk salt, it was seasoned just right for me. With vegetable side dishes, pork, and mackerel, it felt like a neatly arranged table of foods I enjoy. ![Wood-fired grilled mackerel served with nuruk salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-19-190zp-900.webp) ![Moist wood-fired grilled mackerel in a Geumdeungeo meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-20-14g13-900.webp) Like the soybean paste soup, the mackerel was kept over a flame, so it stayed warm throughout the meal. I like fish and meat to stay warm until I eat them, so I appreciated this. It did not have a fishy taste, and I alternated mackerel and pork with rice and soybean paste soup. ![Grilled mackerel kept warm over a flame](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-21-p925y-900.webp) ## Is there dessert after the meal? Gangjeong (crispy sweet rice snack) was available for dessert. We were full from the meal, so we each had one piece. ![Gangjeong dessert after a meal at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-22-1its1-900.webp) ![Dessert and drinks after a meal at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-23-1pa0t-900.webp) There was also coffee and apricot juice, along with cups of ice for anyone who wanted iced coffee. My mother and I chose the apricot juice and enjoyed it. ## Can you take home side dishes and mackerel you liked? The display case by the entrance sold side dishes from the meal. There were items including sweet-and-sour seaweed and lotus root; at the time the original post was written, side dishes were ₩5,000 per pack. Mackerel was also sold to take away for ₩7,000 per pack. ![Entrance display case selling takeout side dishes at Geumdeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-24-so8bf-900.webp) What I liked most about this meal was being able to eat the mackerel warm until the end and refill the side dishes. With parking available and a pleasant interior, it is somewhere I would like to return to when I want a Korean meal with family. ## Where it is - Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch (금등어 들안길 본점) (금등어 들안길 본점) - 2F, 57 Deulan-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 수성구 들안로 57 2층 - 35.8349076, 128.6164612 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%88%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%20%EB%93%A4%EC%95%88%EA%B8%B8%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8349076,128.6164612,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@supper-paragraph/geumdeungeo-deulangil-grilled-mackerel-acf7/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
