This restaurant opened in 2019. Although it doesn’t carry through-three-generations-history, its kalguksu menu has already created a good reputation. Its kalguksu has a deeper taste because it has meat-based soup (the picture above). You can order spicy kalguksu as well (the picture below). The restaurant offers seasonal kalguksu such as kalguksu with soybean-based soup.

If you are not in the mood for noodles, you can have Kkomaengi Gimbap. It’s basically the same as Chungmu Gimbap but with a different name. In a regular gimbap, every ingredient is wrapped inside of the gimbap roll. But, in Chungmu Gimbap, gimbap is only a roll of rice with seaweed, and sides like radish kimchi and spicy squid are served separately.
You may not expect a McDonald-like self-order kiosk at a small local restaurant, but it’s here. Yes, we are definitely living in the 21st century.

Somunnan Jumunjin Makguksu is a long-established local restaurant in Sajik-dong, Busan, well known for its simple but satisfying Korean noodle dishes. It specializes in cold buckwheat noodles (makguksu), served either in a refreshing broth or mixed in a spicy-sour sauce, making it a popular choice especially in warmer weather or before/after nearby stadium events.
A common pairing here is the bibim makguksu with boiled pork (suyuk), where the tangy, slightly spicy noodles are balanced by the soft, savory meat. The restaurant has a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, and it’s often visited by both locals and groups. During peak meal times or event days, it’s not unusual to experience a noticeable wait, so timing can make a difference if you’re planning a visit. Also, keep in mind that you need to take off your shoes to enter.

Eel dishes have always been one of the top energy-boosting foods among Koreans. Wonjo Jangeogui offers two types of grilled eels: on steel plate (철판구이) and on charcoal (숯불구이). You cook eels for yourself at the table with an option of a charcoal grill. If you choose a steel plate option, it will be served after the eels are cooked in the kitchen.
You can also order a meal set (장어정식) with grilled eels. It comes with a full table of side dishes and less amount of eels at a lower price. Jangeotang (장어탕, eel stew) is another signature menu of this restaurant. It has a bit strong prickly ash taste. It could grow on you when you taste them several times, but it might not be the best taste the first time.

Every South Korean city has its own must-try tteokbokki restaurants. Busan certainly has many of them, and Sajik-dong carries a few of them. Okdangbunsik is located in Sajik Traditional Market (사직시장), and it’s more like a street food vendor rather than a full restaurant. You can find only a couple of tables.
The unique eating point of its tteokbokki is that it’s basically multteok with tteokbokki sauce. The tteok (떡, rice cake) is a much bigger piece compared to regular tteokbokki. Odengtuigim (오뎅튀김, fried fish cake) is quite a unique menu as well. To my humble taste buds, both of them are a little too sweet for me, but that would be just me.
