Arriving around 8pm meant a short wait for a full house, then two servings of pork belly and one of pork neck (150g each, 14,900 won) eaten with honey butter potato, basil and kimchi jjageuli, finished with the house special ppokkeumbap (stir-fried rice). With free corkage and staff minding the grill from start to finish, Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch is an easy, hands-off meal. ## Good to know - **Main menu**: Pork belly, pork neck, grilled daechang (beef intestine), grilled teukyang (beef tripe) - **What we ordered**: 2 servings of pork belly + 1 serving of pork neck - **Price**: 14,900 won per 150g serving - **To finish**: House special ppokkeumbap (stir-fried rice) - **Corkage**: Free - **Hours**: 17:00–00:30, open daily with the same hours year-round - **Address**: 1F, 50 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu - **Time of visit**: Around 8pm; full house, so a short wait before being seated - **Price reference**: ₩14,900 ≈ $11 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Main image of Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-01-53531-900.webp) ## What Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch is like at 8pm This time I'm recommending a Jongno restaurant, a Jungangno restaurant in Daegu — Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch. I went around 8pm and it was still full, so I waited a bit before eating. This place felt like a real local hotspot. ![Interior view of Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-02-xh4bm-900.webp) ![Dining seats and tables inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-03-1pw5h-900.webp) This is the vibe inside. The staff move around in perfect sync — full of energy and really kind, which stuck with me. ![Baseball-themed decor placed inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-04-31z03-900.webp) ### The baseball memorabilia inside Hubaldae Baseball-themed items everywhere you look. ![Displayed autographed baseballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-05-3g1q1-900.webp) ![Baseball bats and other baseball items on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-06-183c8-900.webp) There are autographed baseballs and bats too. It brings back memories of going to Sajik Stadium in Busan with a friend as a kid, having a beer and watching the game. I remember it even more vividly because my team lost every time I went... ![Table quickly set with basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-07-ubdik-900.webp) ## Side dishes served at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch At Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch, the basic side dishes come out fast, they cut everything into easy-to-eat pieces, and they even portion it onto your plate for you. First, the side dishes arrive quickly. ![Side dishes portioned onto a small plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-08-1889l-900.webp) They go so far with the care that you think, wait, they do this too?? haha. ![Sign explaining how to properly enjoy Hubaldae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-09-x7pgc-900.webp) The 'proper way to enjoy Hubaldae' sign is a must-read. ![Menu board at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-10-1gac4-900.webp) ![Menu board listing pork belly, pork neck, daechang and teuk-yang prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-11-1s5j0-900.webp) ## Hubaldae Daegu Jongno menu and prices The four main menu items are pork belly, pork neck, grilled daechang (beef intestine), and grilled teuk-yang (beef tripe). The staff told me pork belly and pork neck are the most popular, so we ordered two servings of pork belly and one of pork neck. Each is 150g, priced at ₩14,900. ![Wrap vegetables including basil, angelica leaf, and peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-12-d4vay-900.webp) Basil, angelica leaves, and peppers come out too. Basil showing up here is a bit of a surprise. ![A bowl of salty kimchi jjageulyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-13-16dn4-900.webp) This is kimchi jjageulyi (stewed kimchi) — pretty salty on its own. It's great for dipping meat into or mixing into rice. ![Meat and honey butter potato on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-14-1cxgc-900.webp) ## The staff grill the pork belly and pork neck for you Once the meat's on, they lay out the restaurant's signature honey butter potato on both sides. They also trim and add sundae (Korean blood sausage), mushrooms, red chili, and cheongyang peppers for you to grill along with everything. The staff grill all the meat for you. They don't feed you by hand though, haha... ![Grill packed full with meat and side ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-15-1mk6k-900.webp) Before you know it, the grill is packed full. ![Staff member grilling pork belly and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-16-1pgl4-1200.webp) It's cooking away nicely, and since they handle everything, you don't have to lift a finger — so convenient. ![Meat and side ingredients cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-17-cpb9m-900.webp) ### How to wrap pork with honey butter potato and basil Following the staff's recommendation, I put honey potato, myeong-i namul (marinated fernleaf), kimchi jjageulyi, basil, cheongyang pepper, and sauce all together — and somehow it's this strangely harmonious, delicious combination. With the basil in there it even tastes a bit Western... it's like understanding that reaction foreigners have when they try bibimbap for the first time and get all patriotic about it. ![A wrap of honey potato topped with meat and basil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-18-1nvi2-900.webp) Eating it plain is fine too, but the combo above is next-level good. ![Fully cooked meat pushed to the edge of the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-19-6afcr-900.webp) They move the fully cooked pieces to the edge, ask if you want more, and quickly turn down the heat — I appreciated that too. ![Tidied grill and finishing table setup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-20-d46va-900.webp) ## Finishing with the house special ppokkeumbap For dessert, we ordered the special stir-fried rice (teukje ppokkumbap). Every table around us had ordered one, so we followed suit haha. The rice came out fluffy and nicely fried, with quite a lot of meat mixed in too. ![Fluffy fried special stir-fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-21-znucr-900.webp) ![A spoonful of the meat-filled special stir-fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-22-1buij-900.webp) The seasoning is a bit mild on its own, so pairing it with the kimchi jjageulyi on top makes it taste amazing. ![Table with fried rice and kimchi jjageulyi served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-23-1171g-900.webp) ## Free corkage at Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch Worth noting, corkage is free, so it's great to dig out whatever good bottle's been sitting around at home and bring it along. I brought a bottle I'd picked up while traveling once, and drinking it corkage-free somehow made me feel like I was saving money... ![Table with corkage-free bottle brought from home](https://img.superchart.com/images/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill/hubaldae-jongno-daegu-pork-grill-24-msfsg-900.webp) ## Is Hubaldae Daegu Jongno Branch worth a visit? The staff were super kind and the cheongyang pepper was tasty too. The honey potato wrap combo is genuinely amazing. They grill everything for you, corkage is free... overall, totally satisfied haha.
