For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

We came for a late lunch. Had the abalone congee, ramen, dumplings and abalone bibimbap. Ramen was probably the most disapointing- it was just instant noodles, with instant pack seasoning, a few slivers of abalone and an egg. Otherwise food was decent, though I found the congee bland. Then again, maybe that's the way it should be.

I had this restaurant flagged while I was researching restaurants before my actual visit to Busan. It turns out that it was also recommended by the hotel where I was staying. I usually approach these kind of recommendations with apprehension, but that all dissipated when we walked up to find a line of people every night.The setup is fast and furious with the staff turning over tables very quickly. The restaurant itself is slightly rustic in a way and very comfortable with the exterior windows opening up to let in the cool breezes and ventilate.The banchan was excellent. Not really the typical kinds you find in other restaurants. It felt like some classic versions with a modern twist. Very fresh and crisp greens as well. The pork was excellent with the restaurant offering four different cuts. Unfortunately, they ran out of some of the tender and unusual cuts, but we were happy to order the fresh pork belly. Didn't smell or taste gamey and had great ratio of fat with meat. The staff grills, cuts, and prepares the pork while you watch. The restaurant requires that you order three of the same cut for your first order. So for a part of two we ordered (3) servings of the fresh pork belly, Korean miso soup, hot pot rice for two, a bottle of soju, and a bottle of beer for a total of â©45,000. Money well spent. If you go with a party of two or three, it won't cost you much more.Great value and taste. Had to be one of the best pork barbecue restaurants that I've been to in a long time. Highly recommended.

Blowfish (which is (really) anglicized from the Korean as Fuku fish), prepared as sashimi, sushi, stew and soup. Clearly a popular restaurant with locals, with friendly service, although having tried blowfish once we wouldn't choose it over other fish. Rather rubbery and tasteless. Eat it for the novelty value, and being able to say "I ate poison fish, and lived !" The restaurant serves a killer (pun intended) Okonomiyaki. Not easy to find this place. It is in a small square set back from the main road one block north of the Paradise Hotel, and behind the Kia showroom and sand coloured Meriel Hotel building. Look for the circular red 24 hour sign on the main road and head into the car park.

Anga is brand that has only grown into a specialty store for pork products since 2004 in Heaundae Beach in Busan. Rather than seek daily profit, we would like to build trust in our customers by providing friendly service and a consistent taste.

Lovely BBQ restaurant with amazing service. Were initially looking for a beef bbq but were pleasantly surprised with Anga. Wonderful delicious pork seasoned in either spicy or soy sauce. The assorted condiments were lovely and you received a never ending supply of salad. Priced well, superb service and tasty food, what more could you ask for!

This restaurant is just located next to Busan train station. Tried other pork soup nearby at jalgachi and find that this restaurant is not that porky smell. Simple menu with about 4 different types. Could not understand the menu in English, Guess it was translated directly from Korean. We tried their intestine(pigs stomach), their speciality porkbone soup and soup with a plate of sliced pork. One of us tasted and find that the soup doesn't really taste the same. But all tasted really good and refreshing. It doesn't have a strong porky smell Nor the taste. We saw the locals sitting next to us that they put the Chilli paste and shrimp into their soup. Guess that's how the local eats.

Busan is famous for gukbap. If you have time for only one, this is if! I had two other versions but were disappointed. The soup is flavourful and pork slices generous. Staff were friendly and helpful too which I find rare in Korea.

We enjoyed eating at this hot pot style restaurant. We chose the shrimp and octopus for our main seafood ingredients but there also was a third option of tripe. Prices quoted in the menu were per person. We selected the medium spiciness and it turned out to be the right amount of heat for us. For an extra 1500 won, we added instant ramen noodles which was a good choice to complement our hot pot. Our table seemed a bit tight for the four of us with our plates and utensils plus the butane burner. Luckily our server did most of the cooking for us and then we just served ourselves.Overall, once all the ingredients were mixed together it was a delicious meal that satisfied all of us.

This is one of the best buffets we have experienced anywhere in the world. The range of food was truly international, and all the dishes were fresh. The little touches like fresh organic fruit/vegetable shooters and other individually plated dishes really set it apart from other buffets.

The best Samgyetang in Korea am 11:00 ~ pm 9:00 (Last order pm 8:00) Thank you ^^
Reviewed By Greg B
This restaurant is known as the best samgyetang (whole chicken and ginseng soup) in Korea, and it lives up to it's name, and then some! Not only is the soup superb in flavor and tenderness, the side dishes (Kimchi, peppers, etc.) are the best I've ever tasted. No joke. The lady and her son who run the place are very sweet, and the son speaks English fluently. A ++++ in every category, and it's a unique hole in the wall to boot. We're so glad we randomly saw it from the bus. Definitely coming again!! Go!!HelloGreg BThank you for using the jangsusamThank you very much ^ ^

After walking around BIFF for about 4 hours it was a good decision to have late lunch in this restaurant. I got this set of soybean paste stew with Beef it was a perfect combination with rice with vegetable in the side. When you put in the stew in the rice it yum!!! I love it!
