“ Very busy restaurant, great atmosphere and the food was amazingly delicious. Small menu that is done very well. ”
“ We were looking for cold buckwheat noodles. This place had a line up, and was worth the wait. Other places we tried were unimpressive, but we were all very pleased with this restaurant. It had. Great local diner vibe. And you can't go wrong with the dumplings. ”
“ Okay, the 밀면 is great but really it's the dumplings (만두) you need to have here. I love dumplings, they are my favourite food and I eat them everywhere. I clearly rank these dumplings in my top five of all time. The texture of the wrapper is superb and it melts in your mouth. The filling is rich and delicious. I got extra dumplings to take away, they were that good. Also one of the few restaurants in Korea where I could strike up a good rapport with the serving staff. They seem pretty happy here. Put this on your list next time you are in Busan! ”
“ This restaurant near to Busan station. The restaurant handling the 돼지국밥 pork soup, famous in Busan. It was soo good. And the price was vert affordable. ”
“ fantastic way to start our day in Busan, travelling from Seoul. the gukbap hits the spot. it was rich and the pork slices were tender. there were some pepper paste and salted shrimp on the side to customise the soup to our likings. the dumplings were really good too!!! IMO, it was better than myeondong kyoja (michelin restaurant) highly recommend if you are looking for a solid gukbap. ”
“ Weekend Busan Food Trip Review – First Stop! Took the KTX from Seoul and headed straight to 영동밀면&돼지국밥 right near Busan Station – the perfect way to kick off a foodie weekend! The cold broth was super refreshing, and the chewy Busan-style wheat noodles just slid down so smoothly. That light, clean beef stock tastes simple at first but has a lovely depth—and TRUST, pouring the warm meat broth from the table pitcher into a cup gives you an extra hit of umami and just a touch of peppery spice. It’s not too heavy, so I left feeling satisfied, not stuffed! The restaurant is spotless, and service is genuinely fast and friendly. Loved the relaxed vibes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their Busan culinary adventure! Thanks for a great meal! ”
“ The first okay response after trials to find good wheat cold noodles in Busan, including many other famous multi-starred places, was not satisfying. But this place was much better. Chewy noodles, steamed meat, and egg toppings met expectations. Most importantly, the broth was well-balanced, with a perfect blend of meaty and sour flavors, without being sweet. The pickled vegetables were warm and bland, but it didn't matter. A pleasant small dish with a standard order price of 8,000 KRW, which I will likely revisit. ”
“ I recently visited a fantastic restaurant located on the first floor of The Way Hotel. During lunchtime, I noticed a long queue of people eagerly waiting to get in, which piqued my curiosity. The restaurant specializes in “dumplings”, “pork soup with rice”, and ”noodles”. The taste of the food is absolutely excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s no wonder there’s always a long queue here, while the nearby restaurants don’t seem to attract as many customers. If you’re in the area and looking for a delicious and affordable meal, I highly recommend checking out this place! ”
