On a date, the writer ordered the set for two (2 rice bowls + 1 noodle dish + 1 drink) with Nagoya cold soba, ebi-don (shrimp tempura rice bowl) and kimchi gyudon (beef rice bowl), and enjoyed the big shrimp tempura, the tender beef and the cold soba that cuts through the richness of the rice bowls. With a well-filled, good-value set, Peisen-dong Gwangalli is an easy recommendation for a date meal in Gwangalli. ## Good to know - **Opening hours**: Mon–Fri 11:30–20:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 and 19:30 - **Parking**: 1 hour free at Bada Parking Lot (바다주차장) in the alley across from the restaurant - **Ordering and payment**: Order and pay on the tablet at your table; card, cash, split bills and points accepted - **What we ordered**: Set for two (2 rice bowls + 1 noodle dish + 1 drink): Nagoya cold soba, ebi-don, kimchi gyudon - **Seating**: A mix of tables, including tables for 2 and 4 - **Waiting**: Joining the remote waitlist on Catch Table is recommended *as written by the visitor on Apr 25, 2026 · not checked with the business* Today I'm at Peisen-dong in Gwangalli.

Peisen-dong is near Gwangalli Beach. Parking is free for 1 hour at Bada Parking Lot in the alley across from the shop! Peisen-dong itself is in an alley too. ![Stairway entrance up to Peisen-dong on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-04-6i9rl-900.webp) ![Entrance and waiting area of Peisen-dong Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-05-wd1mh-900.webp) ![Waiting area at the Peisen-dong entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-06-18zqj-900.webp) ![Candy and mouthwash at the Peisen-dong entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-07-1xrel-900.webp) ### Skip the wait with Catch Table Head up the stairs and you'll find Peisen-dong. If there's a wait, it's best to get in line ahead of time with Catch Table. I think there were about 6 waiting seats inside and 2–3 outside! At the entrance there's candy and mouthwash, which will be nice to use after your meal. ![Inside Peisen-dong with tables for two and four](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-08-1uvbl-900.webp) ![Dining hall seating at Peisen-dong Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-09-1bc9k-900.webp) ## Peisen-dong Gwangalli seating: good for dates and solo meals? Inside Peisen-dong Gwangalli there were all kinds of tables, including tables for 2 and for 4, and more seats than I expected! I think it's great for a date and also really good for eating alone. The restroom is shared, and it was clean and nice inside. ![Storage box on a Peisen-dong table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-10-1mj6w-900.webp) ![Plum tea served when you sit down at Peisen-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-11-mfvjn-900.webp) ![Self-serve water and table setting at Peisen-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-12-1l4wy-900.webp) ![Peisen-dong table before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-13-7isp6-900.webp) When you sit down at Peisen-dong, they give you a storage box and plum tea, and water is self-serve. I sipped the plum tea while waiting for my order and it was so good! ![Tablet ordering screen at a Peisen-dong table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-14-1dg3s-900.webp) ![Menu lineup at Peisen-dong Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-15-1bq20-900.webp) ![Peisen-dong set menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-16-jmkqt-900.webp) ![Peisen-dong guide to eating each dish at its best](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-17-fm0f6-900.webp) ## How do you order and pay at Peisen-dong Gwangalli? At Peisen-dong Gwangalli you can order and even pay by tablet right at your seat, which was convenient. For payment you can use card, cash or split payment, and points can be used too. They also have tips for eating each dish at its tastiest, so do take a look! ![Peisen-dong set for two with rice bowls and cold soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-18-1gby8-1200.webp) ## What's in the Peisen-dong set for two? The Peisen-dong set for two is 2 rice bowls + 1 noodle dish + 1 drink. The set is really generous and great value. Yuzu pickles and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) came as side dishes. ![Yuzu pickles and kkakdugi side dishes of the set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-19-zjwin-900.webp) ### Nagoya cold soba I put a generous amount of wasabi into the chilled Nagoya cold soba (buckwheat noodles) and it was so good! If you only eat donburi it can start to feel heavy, but eating it with the cold soba kept things clean and refreshing, with no fatigue at all. ![Peisen-dong Nagoya cold soba with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-20-hebs8-900.webp) ![Close-up of Peisen-dong Nagoya cold soba noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-21-1uyzr-900.webp) ![Cold soba eaten alongside the rice bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-22-1cajt-900.webp) ### How to eat king shrimp ebi-don With Peisen-dong's ebi-don (shrimp rice bowl), you move the shrimp onto the lid and eat the rice underneath. First of all, the shrimp are huge and the tempura batter was so soft. Dip the shrimp in the sauce that comes with it and it's twice as good, and scoop up the rice together with the egg for a tasty bite! ![Peisen-dong ebi-don topped with big shrimp tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-23-1h1e9-900.webp) ![Ebi-don with the shrimp moved onto the lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong-24-1r3ko-900.webp) ### How to eat kimchi gyudon (beef rice bowl) For Peisen-dong's kimchi gyudon (beef rice bowl), don't break the yolk and mix it in; put it on the rice and eat it that way! The stir-fried kimchi is so good and the meat is incredibly tender. It also comes with a broth, which is perfect when you want something soupy. Eating it with the yuzu pickled radish that comes alongside is a perfect match,, 🤤 ## Where it is - Peisen-dong Gwangalli (페이센동 광안리점) - 7-5 Millak-ro, 2nd floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 민락로 7-5 2층 페이센동 광안리점 - 35.156021, 129.1224621 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%98%EC%9D%B4%EC%84%BC%EB%8F%99%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.156021,129.1224621,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@between-orders-seoul/gwangalli-date-ebi-don-set-peisendong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
