Haerim Restaurant — Restaurant in Busan

If you see high reviews, they are a restaurant that offers a bottle of soju or coke can for leaving reviews. I would avoid this place and not recommended for hospitality.

One of the dishes we ordered was a medium serving of scallop and it comes with cheese mix on a foil tray as pictured. Staff were cooking for everyone start to end including ourselves but left the tray covered with shell for it to cook. We assumed they would remove when this was ready to eat but when the lady serving us disappeared and another staff noticed, she quickly removed the shells and invited us to "begin eating". After this they removed the charcoal and turned off fire but it was burnt on the bottom and tasted like chemical. This is fine as mistakes happen but not even an apology was offered. We even moved the dish to the side of fire when we thought it was on too long and instead was told by staff that it was "meant to be like that" until we told them that it was burnt and tasted like chemical. This was when the lady who served us from the beginning told us that staff cant so everything and we should have done it ourselves. Kind of hard considering scallop shells was covering dish and us seeing them uncover everyone else's? PS there was only 2 other tables upstairs with us.

Honestly even an apology we would have been fine with but they just said its on us after mixing half the scallops we paid for into the cheese mix and charging us full ($50 aud...

The worst place I've been in Busan. The restaurant has an amazing view and a very friendly male employee at the cashier. However as soon as you go up to the 2nd floor 2 female ladies were almost rude. We asked for possibility to set by the window, they even didn't let us finish and cut us with refuse even though the table by the window was vacant. When another group of customers arrived they let them sit by the window. We have ordered eel and we had to wait for 30~40 minutes which is nonsense especially in Korea. There was another table who was even complaining as they also had to wait super long. Lastly, there was no paper neither towels in the toilet. However the place has a breathtaking scenery I won't...

I had a terrible experience here on June 24th 2025 for lunch. The seafood in the seafood stew was not fresh at all. Multiple scallops did not open when cooked which means they were dead when served. The crab in the stew had a soft, melting texture which means that they were also dead before being cooked.

Overall, the experience was bad and I would actively recommend against dining here. The total for our lunch for 4 people was 150,000 won and for that price you could get a much better...
