Hi, this is Gyuljonggak. This time I'm bringing you a Daegu tuna restaurant near Jongno — a Bandwoldang favorite for sashimi, Jongno Darang (종로다랑).

![Bluefin tuna course information at Jongno Darang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-02-dnuhn-900.webp)

## ₩50,000 bluefin tuna course, à la carte possible after 9pm

This is a new-ish Daegu bluefin tuna specialty restaurant. The bluefin tuna course at ₩50,000 and the bluefin + big flounder course at ₩45,000 seemed to be the popular menu items. There's also group seating for 20+ people, and after 9pm you can order à la carte items too. I timed my visit right at 9pm.

![Calm-toned interior of Jongno Darang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-03-19qi6-m-900.webp)

## A wide, calm hall, and ₩20,000 corkage

The interior has this vibe — the whole place has a kind of calm, settled feeling to it.

![Spacious 1st-floor hall with many tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-04-1rm8c-m-900.webp)

Once inside, I was surprised at how much bigger it was than I expected, with way more tables than I thought. Several group parties were already there.

There were seats on the 2nd floor too, but only the 1st floor was operating that day.

![Sake bottles and a cat drawing displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-05-12f8l-900.webp)

They've got sake too, you know? For reference, corkage is ₩20,000 per bottle. Most places charge ₩30,000, so this is actually a pretty decent — no, a genuinely nice — price.

A cute cat drawing. It reminded me of Bongsuk, the cat I had growing up (a black-and-white one).

![Kiosk for placing orders in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-06-11954-900.webp)

You order here at the kiosk. Since à la carte ordering is totally fine after 9pm, I first ordered the small bluefin tuna.

Before 9pm, most people seem to order the bluefin or bluefin + flounder courses, and the prices were reasonable for what you get.

![Tangy basic salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-07-1sxve-900.webp)

## Warming up with salad, steamed egg, and three kinds of crunchy pickles

Salad came out first. Nice and tangy, really wakes up the palate — perfect warm-up before a shot of soju.

![Warm steamed egg dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-08-5xej3-900.webp)

Then steamed egg. The warmth was nice — felt like it was coating and protecting my stomach before the soju hit it.

![Three kinds of crunchy pickles with sesame oil salt sauce and seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-09-1qrdh-900.webp)

Next, three kinds of crunchy pickled vegetables, served with a sesame oil and salt sauce, and seaweed.

This is the salt I asked for separately. Honestly, plain salt with tuna is a real delicacy too.

They also rolled out plenty of sushi rice (shari) I could use to make my own sushi — no extra charge for it. I ended up refilling it twice... sorry about that, haha.

Quick soju-beer tech: going full Tesla-tech (Terra & Chamisul).

![À la carte small bluefin tuna order](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-11-1y4du-900.webp)

## A full platter of bluefin tuna (small), from judoro to the throat cut

This right here is the bluefin tuna (small).

![A platter of tuna with judoro, otoro, gamatoro and akami cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-12-1i2il-1200.webp)

From 12 o'clock going counterclockwise: judoro, otoro, gamatoro, akami, and on the edge, belly meat and the throat cut. It's packed with fatty, tasty parts, which somehow made me feel warm and content. It's kind of like a bouquet — I'll just call it a tuna bouquet.

![A piece of bluefin tuna topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-13-qqyhp-900.webp)

Even piling on wasabi, it's not spicy at all. That savory, fatty tuna flavor is just so good.

![Light and clean tuna loin](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-14-1aggg-900.webp)

The tuna loin has a clean, light taste — it's perfect to eat a piece of every now and then while working through the fattier cuts.

![Refreshing broth soup with clam meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-15-1xjlf-900.webp)

A refreshing broth soup. With clam meat inside, it's clean and light. On its own it's already a great drinking companion — feels like getting a free side dish. Maybe that's just my drunkard mindset talking...

![Self-made tuna sushi with sushi rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-16-1kufp-900.webp)

## Self-made sushi from free rice refills, and doing the value math

Eating it together with sushi rice was genuinely delicious...

![Tuna sushi paired with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-17-fotx4-900.webp)

![Hand-formed tuna belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-18-zqt8t-900.webp)

Some pieces I ate with salt and wasabi — pairing it that way instead of soy sauce brought out the natural savoriness and umami of the tuna even more cleanly.

![Refilled sushi rice combined with tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-19-1uurq-900.webp)

![Self-made sushi using various tuna cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-20-irh43-900.webp)

Kept adding more sushi rice and eating... Honestly I did the math for the value here — if you go elsewhere for tuna belly sushi, each piece runs ₩4,000–8,000, right? What came out here was around 24 pieces total... running that miracle math, a whole platter for ₩60,000 is genuinely cheap.

![Seaweed eaten alongside the tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-21-1noum-900.webp)

Even just chewing on the seaweed alone was delicious.

![Seafood ramyeon with clam, crab and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-22-1ypaj-900.webp)

## Seafood ramyeon ordered after reading a review

I tried the seafood ramyeon. Someone in a review said they liked it so much after one bowl that they ordered another — so I figured this was a must-try. Inside there seemed to be clam meat, crab, and squid too. With so much seafood in it, the broth was really refreshing.

![Chewy, well-cooked seafood ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order/jongno-darang-daegu-tuna-late-night-single-order-23-1uytz-900.webp)

The broth was refreshing and spicy in a good way, and since I like my noodles with a good chewy bite, these were cooked just right with great texture — I get why someone would order it twice in a row.

I fished out all the clam meat inside for my self-made sushi... not exactly a life-changing flavor moment, but the whole activity itself was fun.

## Overall thoughts

The place is spacious, the atmosphere is nicely calm, the seats are comfortable, and both the value and taste are great... honestly I was satisfied with everything. If I ever crave tuna, Jongno Darang will definitely come to mind. If you're looking for a Daegu tuna restaurant near Jongno or a Bandwoldang sashimi spot, I highly recommend Jongno Darang.
