A Spicy and Cheesy Meal at Unsu Daetong Dakgalbi in Gyeongju

Hi guys! 👋
If you’re visiting Gyeongju and want to try something spicy and super tasty, you have to check out Unsu Daetong Dakgalbi (운수대통 닭갈비). It’s a local restaurant that’s famous for dakgalbi, a Korean stir-fried chicken dish. The place is cozy, casual, and full of good vibes — perfect for enjoying a fun meal with friends or family!

What’s Dakgalbi?

Dakgalbi is a hot and spicy dish made with chicken, vegetables, and rice cakes cooked together in a big pan at your table. At Unsu Daetong, their most popular menu is cheese dakgalbi — and trust me, it’s amazing. You get soft chicken, chewy rice cakes, cabbage, onion, and spicy red sauce. Then they add lots of melted cheese in the middle, which makes everything creamy and delicious.

The spicy sauce has a strong flavor, but it’s not too hot. The cheese helps make it smooth and a little sweet. It’s a great balance. Just smelling it while it cooks will make your mouth water!

Don’t Forget the Fried Rice!

After you finish most of the dakgalbi, you can ask the staff to make fried rice or rice balls (주먹밥) with the leftover sauce. They mix it with seaweed, corn, and rice right in the pan — it’s the perfect way to end the meal. Honestly, this might be my favorite part!

Fun, Friendly Atmosphere

The restaurant has a chill and fun feeling. There are wooden tables, the sound of food sizzling, and happy people all around. It feels warm and friendly. The staff are kind and helpful — they’ll help you cook or explain the menu if you’re not sure what to order.

How to Get There

Unsu Daetong Dakgalbi is in Hwangnam-dong, close to tourist spots like Cheomseongdae and Donggung Palace &Wolji Pond. So it’s a great place to stop by for lunch while sightseeing!

Here’s how to find it:
