What kind of place is Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch?
Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch is a premium casual dining spot in Chimsan-dong, Buk-gu, Daegu. It's a beef restaurant that's easy to book for family meals or all sorts of gatherings. Last weekend, I visited for lunch with my boyfriend.
Is parking easy at Gogi 9dan in Chimsan-dong?
Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch has a spacious dedicated parking lot right beneath the restaurant, so it was easy to visit by car. Since the restaurant seats so many customers, on weekends when the dedicated lot fills up, there's also an open parking lot behind the National Health Insurance Service building next door — so you really don't need to worry about parking when you visit!
Booking a window seat for opening time
Even though we arrived right at opening time, there were already about three tables of earlier guests, and I quickly snapped some interior photos before more customers arrived.
Inside, Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch has plenty of tables and is kept clean and comfortable, making it a nice place to eat at ease. Since we'd reserved for opening time, we were given this lovely window seat in advance.
What the couple ordered and what it cost
As soon as we sat down and got the staff's guidance, we browsed the menu on the tablet ordering system installed at each table and ordered right away. Here's what we ordered!
- Raw short ribs (half, 280g) ₩47,000
- Flower short ribs (half, 250g) ₩45,000
- 9-course set ₩17,000
- Zero-sugar cola ₩2,000
As soon as we ordered, they neatly brought out a range of side dishes — salad, japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), seasoned raw crab, green onion kimchi, gungchae greens, and more.
How were the raw short ribs (saeng galbi)?
Next came the main dishes we ordered — the raw short ribs and flower short rib meat. The marbling looked great and the meat looked super fresh! As soon as the charcoal fire arrived, we eagerly started with the raw short ribs, grilling them up on the pan.
We grilled the raw short ribs just until the pink faded, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. The rich meaty flavor filled my mouth — genuinely delicious!
What comes with the 9dan set?
While we were eating, the 9-course set we'd also ordered arrived — four parts: hanwoo (Korean beef) salted yukhoe (beef tartare) with fresh wasabi, and sushi with jjolmyeon (chewy cold noodles) and fresh pork kimchi jjigae (stew). We set the kimchi jjigae aside in the storage space under the table, to boil later once we'd finished the meat.
Then I put a well-grilled piece of raw short rib on the sushi rice, topped it with fresh wasabi, and it turned out to be a really great combination 👍🏻 Besides the raw short ribs, we also topped it with yukhoe, enjoying it in several different tasty ways.
How do flower short ribs differ from raw short ribs?
Next we grilled up flower short rib, one of our favorite cuts as a couple,
Since flower short rib has no bone, unlike raw short rib, it felt like there was much more actual meat to eat. Even cut into the same bite size, the pieces were thicker, releasing more than double the juice, which made it feel even more tender and delicious.
Ending the meal: rice, stew and the free bingsu
After finishing the meat, we had the spicy, hearty fresh pork kimchi jjigae, which cleared our palates nicely,
Just as we were about to head to the register after finishing our meal, a staff member asked, "Would you like some bingsu (shaved ice dessert)?" As bingsu lovers, we gratefully accepted and got to enjoy it too.
After paying, we also grabbed an iced cup of plum tea from the dessert bar, which had coffee, ppeongtwigi (puffed rice snacks), plum tea, mix coffee and more,
The plum tea was sweet yet refreshing — perfect for cleansing the palate. Every part of the service at Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch felt genuinely satisfying, so I think we'll be back often! If you're looking for a great beef restaurant, I'd recommend visiting Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch, where the service is excellent and the food is just as good, and enjoying a satisfying meal!
