The seafood soup here tastes really good. First of all, the ingredients are very fresh, and the seafood soup base is spicy, which is very appetizing. The boss can speak some Chinese, so it is easier to order.
This is a restaurant I really wanted to eat at on my trip to Busan.
I visited with my husband. We came around 7pm on a weekday.
I was prepared to wait in line, but we were able to get in without any wait, but if we had been 30 minutes later, we would have had to wait.
I ordered just the Haemultang.
There are SML sizes, so I was unsure which size to get, and when I asked the staff, they told me that if I wanted to eat a lot, I should get the M size, but when I looked around, most of the people who came in for two were eating the S size, so I went for the S size. This was the right choice! I also wanted to eat ramen at the end of the meal, so the size was just right.
It looks great! The extracts of various shellfish come out, and it's so delicious that it makes me smile.
The color makes it look spicy, but it's light and not spicy. I silently finish off the shellfish, and the ramen at the end is also great!
I was full, but it was delicious and tasty! That's how I ended up.
53,000 won for all of this is just too cheap! You can't get this price in Japan.
I'm planning to come back next year, so this is a place I can't miss.

This sashimi is a bit like the Cantonese sashimi, but without any fancy ingredients, just soy sauce and horseradish. It tastes fresh, with the fish caught from the sea that morning. They also have king crabs.
You can eat it as sashimi. There are so many seafoods, and I don’t know what to choose. You can eat it as sashimi. There are so many seafoods, and I don’t know what to choose.

A renowned Korean restaurant, with pufferfish as its main dish
Verified user reviews
What I tried for lunch today was the (yellow) puffer fish soup from Jinxiu Fugu Restaurant. This restaurant has been in business since 1970. It was lunch time when I arrived, and the door was full of people waiting for their meals. Well, it seems that I came to the right place.
There are several different grades of puffer fish soup to choose from, and the prices are also very different. I tried the cheapest black puffer fish and the slightly more expensive yellow puffer fish. Although both are delicious, the black puffer fish is just average, like chewy and delicious fish meat, which reminds me of fried eel. I recommend the yellow puffer fish, which has a little more fat and tastes more special. The side dishes are also delicious, and some types can be refilled, which is very good.

The first meal after getting off the plane was with my mother yeyije. We found the codfish yaki we had been dreaming of in the 77,000 yuan set meal (Picture 2). We were surprised to find that the menu had been changed. The codfish yaki was made with cheek meat. No wonder it was so expensive [I love it so much]. There were also raw matsutake mushrooms and fried ginseng, which were also amazing.
Excellent food with service to match. Locals describe this restaurant as first class and there is no doubt about that. Located in a side street near the famous Paradise Hotel (the premier beach hotel), the restaurant has a modest entrance and is accessed via a narrow staircase. This shows that the restaurant has both public and private areas. We were a group of 10 dining in a room at the back and our business center receptionist took our order. Wave after wave of imaginative dishes arrived, each beautifully and artfully presented. This was one of the ultimate dining experiences I have had in all my years of travel. It was a very enjoyable feast that lasted about 3 hours. Highly recommended.

This famous restaurant is often bustling, and the cold pig's trotters are a must-order signature dish.
Verified user reviews
A friend in Busan introduced this street of pig trotters. No pig can escape from here. This 50-year-old pig trotter restaurant is different from the ones we usually eat. The trotters are sliced and taste like mustard and soy sauce. I don't like it very much. I'll just try it for novelty.
After we went to Gamcheon-dong, we went directly to Busan Pork Trotters for lunch and ordered a medium portion of original pork trotters. The sauce and side dishes were already placed on the table, and we waited for a while before the main character showed up. The pig trotters were sliced thinly and used Eating it wrapped in vegetables can reduce the greasiness, which is my favorite taste. Next time, I might try the cold pork trotters. I ordered the smallest portion of cold pork trotters, which was sour, salty, and full of side dishes. I tried eating it in various ways, but I still didn’t finish it. Although it is relatively not cheap, it is definitely worth going!

🇰🇷Check in at Busan Haeundae "Wu Banzhang". There are steamed eggs and roasted bean sprouts and kimchi next to the oven, which is very unique [Greedy] Seasoned beef ribs taste very good, and finally a bowl of rice wine, great
We chose outdoor seating, smoke often hit our faces, but the outdoor atmosphere was very good, like coming to a garden barbecue party, the seasoned ribs and steamed eggs were delicious, and the meat wrapped in lettuce was also delicious 😋 The price is not particularly expensive, suitable for relaxing with friends. The staff here are very friendly and the service is provided quickly. The small menu is easy to choose, and the beef and marinated ribs we ordered were delicious, although the portion was not too much. Overall, I like the environment, location and salad here.

A very down-to-earth BBQ rice restaurant. I like the seats where the meat is cooked in plates. It feels very comfortable to sit and eat BBQ. The only difference is that the side dish is Chinese cabbage, not the traditional kimchi. There is more meat, but it is not Korean beef.
Wonjo Eonyang Bulgogi, some famous BBQ restaurants, nothing special, anyway, Korean BBQ is delicious no matter what, you can drink happily no matter what
