This dwaeji gukbap (pork and rice soup) restaurant is quite accessible, thanks to its location by the big street at the entrance to Haeundae Beach from Haeundae Station.  Busan’s pork and rice soup is famous for its odorless yet rich stock, plenty of meat, and soup boiled down for long hours. This restaurant serves a clean and refined bowl, flavored to taste with salted shrimp (small shrimp salted and used for flavoring or as side dishes). It opens quite early in the morning, so locals prefer this place as well. There aren't a lot of seats, so visitors won’t have to wait for too long.
