New to Daegu's Food Scene: Check Out 육미제당 for Unlimited Texas Ribs and More!
If you and new friends are starving after a language exchange event at The Box or if you are just looking for a family-friendly, no-fuss dining spot that'll limit complaints about food options, look no further than 육미제당 (Yukmijedang)! This popular Korean franchise has set up shop in Daegu this summer, bringing its mouthwatering unlimited Texas ribs and extensive buffet to the area.
A Taste of Texas in Daegu
육미제당 (pron. yook-mee-jeh-dahng), which translates to "The House That Makes Delicious Meat," is a national franchise that has established itself for serving "진짜 대장(大長)갈비" or "real big ribs". Their specialty? Texas-style barbecue ribs that'll have you coming back for seconds (and thirds, and fourths...). The restaurant prides itself on being the first in Korea to offer unlimited portions of these jumbo ribs, so you can bet they know their stuff when it comes to smoky, tender meat.
But it's not just about the ribs. 육미제당 offers a full-on feast with its extensive buffet. You'll find everything from pizza and fried chicken to Korean favorites like jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and fried rice. It's a perfect mix of Western and Korean cuisines that'll satisfy even the pickiest eaters in your family.
