Uldong Bossam is a bossam restaurant in Dongin-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu. We ordered the medium Uldong Bossam and enjoyed moist pork with a generous spread of home-style side dishes. Verdict: a great pick for a hearty, carefully prepared Korean meal.
Yukbanjang Gwangjanggakoa Gwangko Branch is a Korean restaurant near Gamsam Station in Dalseo, Daegu. I ordered white yukgaejang and charcoal-grilled bulgogi for a satisfying solo meal, while the spacious dining room and high chairs also looked great for families. The rich broth and smoky-sweet bulgogi were the standouts.
Shabu20 Daegu Bokhyeon branch is an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu buffet in Buk-gu, Daegu. At weekday lunch, I enjoyed half bonito and spicy broth, quality meat, and refilled the pad thai and whelk-minari salad two or three times. A great pick when you want everything from meat to dessert.

We had premium five-layer pork belly, pork jowl, steamed egg, and Grandma’s doenjang stew with changing sauces and stir-fried aged kimchi. Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch is a great pick for pork that stays enjoyable to the last bite.
Otter Rabbit House is a European-vintage brunch café in Dalseo, Daegu, near Wolgwang Waterfront Park. I enjoyed pies, pastries and brunch, especially the chocolate pistachio croissant. For warm pastries and photo-ready interiors, Otter Rabbit House gets my recommendation 🙂
Donggok Jemyeon Daegu Dongseong-ro Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Jung-gu, Daegu, serving kalguksu and suyuk. We had Chogye bibim kalguksu, extra-rich chicken kalguksu, and a half portion of gabrisal suyuk, and the high chair made the meal fairly easy with a baby. Verdict: the tangy, lightly spicy Chogye bibim kalguksu was the clear winner haha.
Dento is a brunch café in Bongsan-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu, serving sandwiches alongside coffee, tea, and wine. I ordered the five bite-size open sandwiches for 12,000 won and an iced drip coffee for 4,000 won. Verdict: a lovely pick when you want to try a little of everything.
Haenyeo Sotbap Suseong Direct Store is a Korean restaurant near Suseong Lake in Daegu, serving abalone and eel sotbap with a 13-dish table spread. We had abalone sotbap, eel sotbap, abalone porridge, and butter-grilled abalone in a spacious dining room with private rooms. Haenyeo Sotbap is a great pick for a hearty, slightly special family meal.
Galbijeong is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Dalseong, Daegu. Five diners, including a five-year-old and grandparents, enjoyed marinated pork ribs, naengmyeon, and stew; the gentle marinade and kid-friendly touches stood out. Galbijeong is a worthwhile pick for family meals or team dinners.
