Silla Sikdang

Silla Sikdang is a Korean restaurant in Daegu's Dongseongno that has served spicy stone-plate nakji bokkeum and sundubu for 39 years. Whole octopus is placed on a hot stone plate and stir-fried with glass noodles and rice cakes in seasoning, and the multigrain rice is mixed with seaweed flakes and sauce. Basic side dishes include salted octopus, kimchi, sea lettuce salad, and cold bean sprout soup, with extra bowls of rice available. Reservations can be made in advance through CatchTable, and a one-hour wait forms at opening time with a long line on site.
