What to order, and who it suits — a short guide before you come.

Clear broth or spicy broth

The clear beef soup (₩12,000) is clean and light, with no chili powder. The Daegu spicy beef soup (₩13,000) is hearty and spicy. Both start from beef and beef bones simmered slowly. Can’t choose? Order one of each and share. Haejang-guk is often called “hangover soup”, but either makes a filling late breakfast or lunch — we open at 11:00.

Coming with parents or kids

Our galbitang (₩16,000) comes with two tender beef short ribs as standard, in clear beef broth. Add a plate of boiled beef shank (small ₩18,000 · large ₩23,000) and the whole family can share one table.

On a walk through Yangnyeongsi

About 7 minutes on foot from Banwoldang Station Exit 15, 3 from the Yangnyeongsi Herbal Medicine Museum and 8 from Jin-golmok. We opened here in 2016, in Yakjeon-golmok — the lane of Yangnyeongsi, Daegu’s herbal medicine market for more than 360 years. “Yakjeon” in our galbitang’s Korean name comes from the alley; the broth is beef and beef bones, with no medicinal herbs.

Groups: please call first

40 seats, no private room. Groups of up to 40 can book by phone (+82 53-255-7052). Put braised oxtail (₩49,000) or the beef shank hot pot (₩33,000) in the middle and add soups around it. Call to ask how much to order for your group.

Where ttaro-gukbap comes from

In 1929 the magazine Byeolgeongon ran a piece called “Daegu’s pride, Daegu tangban.” Ttaro-gukbap — beef soup with the rice served on the side — carries on that line and is now one of Daegu’s 10 delicacies. Our Daegu spicy beef soup is cooked in that same Daegu style.

Things to do in Daegu — around us

Over 360 years of herbal medicine —
and a pot of broth in the middle of it

Namseong-ro is not just a street. It is the main lane of Yangnyeongsi, Daegu’s historic herbal medicine market, and it sits on the route of the Modern History Street walking tour.

Yangnyeongsi and Yakjeon-golmok

Daegu’s Yangnyeongsi began in the late Joseon period as a seasonal market for medicinal herbs, held near the guesthouse of the Gyeongsang provincial office. What was once a month-long fair each spring and autumn is now a permanent market along Namseong-ro — the street everyone calls Yakjeon-golmok, the herbal medicine alley. Walk it today and the smell of dried roots still drifts out of the shops. We are inside that alley, about a 3-minute walk from the Yangnyeongsi Herbal Medicine Museum.

The Modern History Street

Course 2 of Jung-gu’s “Journey into the Modern Era” walking tour is the Modern Culture Alley. Named a Star of Korean Tourism in 2012 and listed repeatedly among Korea’s 100 best destinations, it is the route that turned alley-walking into a national pastime. It starts at the missionary houses on Cheongna Hill, comes down the March First Movement stairs, passes Gyesan Cathedral and the houses of the poet Lee Sang-hwa and the patriot Seo Sang-don — and then runs straight into our alley.

A bowl halfway through

The full walk takes two to three hours. Sitting down to a hot bowl at the halfway point makes the second half far easier. For something light, try the clear haejang-guk; for a fuller meal, the short rib soup.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What food is Daegu famous for?

Daegu is known for jjim-galbi (spicy braised short ribs) and ttaro-gukbap (spicy beef soup with rice on the side). You can have both here: our Garlic-Bomb Braised Short Ribs (₩22,000) and Daegu Spicy Beef Soup (₩13,000). We are about 7 minutes on foot from Banwoldang Station Exit 15.

What is there to see near the restaurant?

We are inside the Yangnyeongsi herbal medicine alley, a well-known Daegu sight. On foot, Gyesan Cathedral is about 6 minutes away, Cheongna Hill about 11 and Seomun Market about 16 — an easy half-day walk, with lunch here.

Can I make a reservation?

Yes, by phone. We have 40 seats and take groups of up to 40; there is no private room. Call +82 53-255-7052 with the date, group size and arrival time.

No private car park and no parking in front of the restaurant, but Yangnyeongsi West Gate Public Parking is a 1-minute walk away, with three more within a 2–4 minute walk. See “Getting here” for directions links.

Is there a break time?

Yes — 15:00 to 17:00. We close at 22:00 (last order 21:00).

How do I order? Can I get more side dishes?

Order from your table once you sit down. Side dishes are self-serve — help yourself to more at the side-dish bar.

Is there an English menu?
