The varied complimentary drinking snacks, including clam soup, were also a welcome part of the meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 85 Muhak-ro 21beon-gil, 2nd floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산 수영구 무학로21번길 85 2층) - **Hours**: According to the original post: daily 3:30 PM–11 PM; Friday and Saturday until midnight - **Parking**: Street parking in the alley was noted in the original post - **Ordered**: Octopus gambas; octopus fried rice - **Complimentary snacks at the visit**: Clam soup, grilled juipo, braised quail eggs, stir-fried fish cake, raw carrot, and celery *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I was in Busan alone on a business trip and looked for a place near Suyeong Station to have a drink.

The restaurant is on the second floor at 85 Muhak-ro 21beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan. I found it while walking down an alley lined with studio apartments and bars. ![Alley where Dari Yeodeolgae is located near Suyeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-02-1vmzt-900.webp) ![Alley near Dari Yeodeolgae in Suyeong-gu, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-03-1iiv5-900.webp) The hours listed in the original post were 3:30 PM to 11 PM daily, with closing at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Parking was described as alley parking. ## What was the atmosphere like for drinking alone? As I entered, the cozy interior caught my eye. There were octopus-themed decorations and posters, along with soft lighting. I visited alone, but I thought it would also suit a meal and conversation with friends. ![Dari Yeodeolgae on the second floor of an alley building](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-04-s67jq-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Dari Yeodeolgae near Suyeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-05-1klfx-900.webp) ![Dari Yeodeolgae interior decorated with octopus ornaments](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-06-7ugdb-900.webp) ![Dari Yeodeolgae interior with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-07-e1wof-900.webp) I heard that it originally operated near Paldo Market before moving to its current location, and that it has been in business for more than 20 years. ## Which octopus dishes did I order? The menu included octopus sukhoe (lightly poached octopus) and several fusion dishes using octopus. Since I like garlic, I chose the octopus gambas and added octopus fried rice for a more substantial meal. ![Dari Yeodeolgae menu featuring several octopus dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-08-jqr3i-900.webp) ![Octopus dish menu at Dari Yeodeolgae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-09-103ed-900.webp) ![Menu examined while choosing an octopus dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-10-1de89-900.webp) ![Table setting while waiting for dishes at Dari Yeodeolgae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-11-vznre-900.webp) ![Table at Dari Yeodeolgae after ordering octopus dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-12-u3p8m-900.webp) ## What complimentary drinking snacks were served? A varied spread of complimentary drinking snacks arrived before the main dishes. The clam soup had no gritty sand as I ate it, and its broth was gently spicy and refreshing. ![Table setting with clam soup and complimentary snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-13-19hm1-900.webp) There were also crisp, savory grilled juipo (dried filefish), salty braised quail eggs, and well-seasoned stir-fried fish cake. The raw carrot and celery were crunchy, and dipping the celery in the mayonnaise served alongside it freshened my palate. ## How did the octopus gambas taste and feel? The octopus gambas, which arrived first, contained both shrimp and octopus. The portion of octopus felt generous; it was chewy on the outside yet became tenderer as I chewed. ![Octopus gambas with octopus and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-14-b9eym-900.webp) The olive oil was deeply infused with garlic. I liked soaking the baguette in the oil, then topping it with octopus and roasted garlic. ![Octopus and garlic in Dari Yeodeolgae's octopus gambas](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-15-ii7gn-900.webp) ## Did the octopus fried rice pair well with the gambas? The octopus fried rice was cooked fluffy and separate, with finely chopped octopus throughout, so I could taste it in every spoonful. It also contained cheese, and its moderate spice and savory richness made it satisfying as a meal. ![Octopus fried rice with chopped octopus and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining-16-ufnij-900.webp) Having the spicy fried rice alongside the oil-rich gambas cut through the richness. Alternating between the two dishes kept me from getting tired of them, and it was a combination that suited me because I wanted both drinking food and a meal. ## Where it is - Dari Yeodeolgae (다리여덟개) (다리여덟개) - 85 Muhak-ro 21beon-gil, 2nd floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 무학로21번길 85 2층 - 35.1654476, 129.1168807 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%AC%EB%8D%9F%EA%B0%9C/@35.1654476,129.1168807,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@barstool-pages/dariyeodeolgae-suyeong-octopus-dining/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
