korean casual dining dongnyeok — Restaurant in Busan

I’m a Japanese traveler, and I happened to find this restaurant on my way to the cable car. It was my first time visiting, and I’m so glad I did!

First of all, the staff were incredibly kind. I don’t speak any Korean, but they communicated warmly and clearly in simple English, which made me feel very welcome.

The atmosphere was also wonderful. The interior is stylish and cozy, with classical music playing in the background all the time. As a music university graduate, I really loved that detail—it made the experience even more special for me.

And of course, the food was absolutely delicious! The menu has Japanese translations, so it was easy to understand. Their main dish is cutlet, but with unique and creative twists that you can’t find in Japan. It was fresh, fun, and full of flavor. The soup and salad that came with the meal were also truly delicious, with a gentle and comforting taste. The soup and kimchi are self-serve, which is a nice touch, and I even received some fruit for dessert! It was the perfect way to relax on the last day of my trip.

If I ever come back to Busan, I’ll definitely visit again. I highly recommend this place to anyone reading this. Thank you to all the staff for giving me such a...

the portion is very big one, we only ordered 3 main dishes for 4 of us, 2 adults n 2 kids and we still cant finish them. there are also miso soup and banchan.
