## In short

Daidokoro Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch is a Japanese home-style restaurant on the 10th-floor restaurant level of Lotte Department Store Gwangbok, by Nampo Station in Jung-gu, Busan. Eating alone at lunch, the writer ordered the one-person set of karaage, menbosha, mini udon, curry and a drink, and also received a milk pudding (4,000 won) through the review event. Between the fried egg written on in ketchup and the anime props and photo zone, Daidokoro suits both solo diners and parents with a baby.

I have a pretty small appetite, so when I eat I care more about taste and visuals than quantity haha. Pretty, cute food just tastes better to me somehow?! If you're also someone who cares about a restaurant's visuals, today's post should be pretty fun. A place that's great to visit with a baby and also fine for solo lunch — let me introduce Daidokoro, a Nampo-dong favorite.

## Where is Daidokoro Gwangbok Branch, and where do you park?

Daidokoro sits in the 10th floor food court of Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch in Nampo-dong. You can use the department store parking, which made things super convenient haha.

## Why Daidokoro works with a baby: anime props and a photo zone

When I searched for this Nampo-dong restaurant, I noticed a lot of people visiting with kids, and once I got inside it made total sense. I thought only the food would be cute, but the store was full of anime props!

![Anime character props displayed in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-03-r98r5-966.webp)

Especially this Shin-chan figure I saw at the checkout counter — total favorite of mine haha. Shin-chan proposing with a cute character ring!

Outside the Daidokoro storefront there's also a photo zone, so I think babies would love it.

It's also famous as a solo-dining spot in Nampo-dong, and when I visited at lunchtime there were plenty of people eating alone. There were also two elderly folks who seemed to be regulars, ordering so naturally — there was some kind of unplaceable coolness about them haha. They looked so stylish.

## Daidokoro menu: one-person set, family set and draft beer set

The popular items at Daidokoro near Nampo Station are these Japanese home-style spreads. There are 2-3 person sets and a family set too, so it seemed great for trying a variety together.

![Daidokoro set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-07-1vhup-966.webp)

And there's the solo set, perfect for eating alone, plus a draft beer set that includes a beer! If I hadn't had my car I would've grabbed a draft beer right then, ugh.

![Menu board listing the solo set and draft beer set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-08-gvbzn-966.webp)

Besides that, there were plenty of options to pick to your taste — karaage set, kkanpunggi set, nanban set, aji fry set, and more.

The solo set I ordered came with karaage set, menbosha, udon, and a drink — a perfectly complete spread.

![Menu description of the solo set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-10-16zvl-966.webp)

There's a review event offering milk pudding, and I definitely recommend grabbing that for dessert haha.

You can also order fried items like karaage or kkanpunggi separately as à la carte add-ons, so even without the set menu you could mix and match extras. The rice could be swapped for soy egg rice, and the set drink wasn't just soda — there was also a Pororo drink for the little customers, so babies would love it too haha.

You can get a ₩4,000 milk pudding through the review event, so don't forget to grab it! Now let's actually look at what I ordered haha.

## What comes on the one-person set: karaage, mini udon, curry, menbosha

![Daidokoro solo set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-14-o12po-1200.webp)

Can a solo set really be this hearty?! Look at the adorable fried egg centered around the freshly fried, crispy karaage.

![Fried egg with a message written in ketchup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-15-zelb9-966.webp)

Cute things deserve a second close-up haha. Thinking about the chef writing this out with ketchup one stroke at a time made it even cuter haha.

![Close-up of the fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-16-zotax-966.webp)

Daidokoro, famous as a solo-dining spot in Nampo-dong, has a lineup that basically demands beer — the crispy karaage was incredibly delicious. Eating it hot right away was pure bliss.

I thought the set composition was so smart — instead of a plain basic broth, you get a mini udon.

![Mini udon included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-18-luiu7-966.webp)

I'm known to be a huge noodle fanatic haha. I wasn't sure what the topping on it was, but it had this crisp-yet-chewy texture that got better the more I chewed.

There's also a full plate of curry, and whether you dip the fried items in it or pour it over rice, it really felt like proper Japanese food.

The batter wasn't thick either — crispy on the outside, and the meat inside was so tender. A crowd-pleasing flavor kids would love too.

It was so cute I couldn't help but post it on Instagram. There was also a generous portion of cabbage salad, so I could eat the whole thing without getting tired of it.

The menbosha (fried shrimp toast) included in the set was crispy too, with plump shrimp inside — can a set composition really be this perfect? There must be a fry master working back there haha.

## Was the review-event milk pudding worth it?

Milk pudding for dessert, of course! The milk pudding comes in a to-go container, so you could even take it with you.

The rich milk aroma was amazing. Eaten together with the crunchy topping, nothing beats it for dessert. It wasn't too sweet either, which I liked even more.

## Going back to Daidokoro: order the set, not à la carte

There are plenty of good restaurants in Nampo-dong, but Daidokoro, located in Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch, let me enjoy a proper clean, tidy Japanese spread.

![Table at Daidokoro after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya/daidokoro-gwangbok-solo-set-menboshya-24-13ljl-966.webp)

The set composition was so good that if I visit again, I'd pick a set menu over à la carte! If you're looking for a Nampo-dong restaurant to visit with a baby, I'd definitely recommend Daidokoro haha. Next time I'll come back for a cold draft beer haha.
