Its seasonal sashimi set (제철한상세트) brought a mixed seafood platter, sashimi with the fish name labeled on each plate, and a spicy fish stew to finish, served in a second-floor private dining room with generously spaced tables. For a tidy, well-composed spread in an upscale setting with someone you care about, The Bangpaje is worth a return visit. ## Good to know - **Signature order**: Seasonal sashimi set (제철한상세트) - **Hours**: Monday to Sunday, 11:30–22:00 - **Parking**: Millak public parking lot or Marine Land parking lot - **Seating**: Regular tables on the 1st floor, private dining rooms on the 2nd floor *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Visiting The Bangpaje near Gwangalli Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-01-1270b-900.webp) Walking around Busan's Gwangalli Beach, you'll spot countless sashimi restaurants, but today I visited a spot famous in Millak-dong. It's called The Bangpaje, and even from the entrance I could feel that mix of history and modern sensibility that got me excited to step inside. Today I'm sharing the seasonal sashimi set I had at Bangpaje, a restaurant well known on the Blue Ribbon list. - 24 Gwangan-haebyeon-ro 294beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - Mon–Sun 11:30–22:00 - Parking available at Millak public parking lot or Marine Land parking ![The Bangpaje entrance with Blue Ribbon stickers](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-02-1999h-864.webp) Being already well established as a top sashimi spot in Millak-dong, the entrance felt anything but ordinary. Rows of blue ribbon stickers lined the front, proof of its many Blue Ribbon selections. Walking past that entrance with real-deal energy, I was greeted inside by a neatly arranged interior. ![Neatly arranged interior of The Bangpaje](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-03-m0ame-900.webp) Parking is available at Millak public parking lot or Marine Land parking, both just a minute from the restaurant. ## What is the interior and private room like at The Bangpaje? ![The Bangpaje interior with wood-toned lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-04-1vk0r-966.webp) The interior was much more spacious and comfortable than I expected. Warm wood-toned lighting throughout gave it the feel of an upscale dining restaurant, quite different from a typical Millak-dong sashimi place. ![Seasonal sashimi set and private dining room at The Bangpaje in Millak-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-05-1o0m0-966.webp) The tables were also generously spaced, making it easy to chat comfortably with your company over the meal. ![Generously spaced table seating at The Bangpaje](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-06-7aoc4-966.webp) Folding doors along the window side gave the space an open feel, and softly placed lighting around the room added to the atmosphere. ![Window-side space with folding doors and soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-07-1v5j8-900.webp) The second floor is set up with private dining rooms. It was stylish enough to work perfectly for a family gathering or a date. ![The Bangpaje's second-floor private dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-08-1vw2s-900.webp) While the first floor is mostly regular table seating, the second floor's private dining rooms would also be great for group dinners or important business meals. ## What comes with the seasonal sashimi set? We ordered the restaurant's signature dish today, the seasonal sashimi set. ![Seasonal sashimi set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-09-614wh-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes from the seasonal sashimi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-10-lpx2h-900.webp) ![Full table spread of the seasonal sashimi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-11-17m54-900.webp) ![Seafood and side dishes arranged on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-12-4bv1i-900.webp) ![Side dish selection from the seasonal sashimi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-13-1573m-900.webp) ![Neatly plated seasonal sashimi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-14-e30ok-900.webp) Right after ordering, the basic side dishes started arriving at the table. A fresh seafood platter, marinated shrimp jeotgal, salmon gimbap (seaweed rice roll), and seasoned crab — at a glance, the whole spread was neat and appetizing. ![Seafood platter and marinated shrimp side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-15-1mdtq-900.webp) Among them, the seafood platter was my favorite — the sea squirt and sea cucumber were served incredibly fresh. ![Sea squirt and sea cucumber seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-16-hk9v0-900.webp) The sea squirt carried a full ocean aroma with that distinctive bitter-sweet flavor still alive, and the sea cucumber had a satisfying chewy texture. Finally the main dish I'd been waiting for arrived, and the visual alone was overwhelming. The seasonal sashimi set lived up to Millak-dong's reputation — the phrase 'you eat with your eyes first' fit perfectly here. ![A neatly plated dish of seasonal sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-17-1n5k3-966.webp) On the plate sat seasonal fish — flounder, hirasu (yellowtail amberjack), and sea bass — arranged beautifully by cut. What I especially liked was that each fish came with a small label naming it, so you could actually know and appreciate what you were eating. ![Sashimi served with fish name labels](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-18-1tdds-900.webp) ![Seasonal sashimi arranged by cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-19-1489s-900.webp) Each slice of sashimi was cut to just the right thickness for a satisfying chew, and the freshness — like it had been caught moments ago — spread across the whole mouth. ![A slice of sashimi paired with aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-20-yodaj-966.webp) Placing a slice of sashimi on washed aged kimchi with a touch of gochujang and wasabi was an absolutely fantastic combination. Lifting the thick slice with chopsticks, I could actually feel its weight. The generous size filled my mouth with satisfaction, and the natural sweetness of the fish that came through with each chew made it instantly clear why this place earned its Blue Ribbon. ![Thick sashimi slice with special ssamjang dip](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-21-10ogi-1200.webp) The special ssamjang dipping sauce served alongside was another highlight, packed with minced garlic and chili that sharpened up what could otherwise be a plain bite of sashimi. Dipped in that special ssamjang, the sashimi never got boring — it was the real MVP of the meal. ## Finishing the meal with spicy fish stew (maeuntang) Of course, the course needed to close with something hot and brothy. The set ended with a bubbling spicy fish stew (maeun-tang), which made the whole meal feel even more filling. The broth was loaded with tofu, fish bones, and assorted vegetables, giving it a deep, rich flavor. Spicy yet refreshing, the broth cleaned the palate for a perfect finish to the meal. ![Spicy fish stew with tofu and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-22-1xghi-966.webp) My time at The Bangpaje in Millak-dong was a precious experience — tasting the very best of seasonal seafood in an upscale atmosphere. ![Enjoying a seasonal seafood meal at The Bangpaje](https://img.superchart.com/images/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje-23-17fun-900.webp) Between the neat table setting and the attentive service, it's the kind of place that naturally makes you want to come back with someone special. If you're looking for a sashimi restaurant in Millak-dong, I recommend The Bangpaje. ## Where it is - The Bangpaje (THE 방파제) - 24 Gwangan-haebyeon-ro 294beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 광안해변로294번길 24 더방파제 - 35.1553648, 129.1260795 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/THE%20%EB%B0%A9%ED%8C%8C%EC%A0%9C/@35.1553648,129.1260795,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@babjip-visits/millakdong-seasonal-sashimi-bangpaje/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
