4.2
(51 reviews)Opened in 1975, this longtime Daegu saenggalbi specialist has built a reputation for well-aged, hand-trimmed ribs at reasonable prices. When you walk in you can see skilled butchers at work — a sign the meat is prepared with care — and the aging brings out a rich, fatty flavor without overshadowing the beef itself. Their trademark doenjang-jjigae is deeply savory, simmered with leftover rib meat and the bones so a film of meat oil floats on top.
