Jeonpo curry restaurant with self-serve tea and hand cream: Sarugak20

Hi, this is Haenyangi. I heard there's a curry spot in Jeonpo with such a cozy, dreamy vibe, so I went for a Jeonpo lunch~

Where is Sarugak20, and what are its hours?

Sarugak20 is in the basement at 78 Seojeon-ro 68beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan. It's open 10:00–19:30 (last order 19:00), closed Mondays, and dogs are welcome too.

The restaurant is about a 3–4 minute walk from Jeonpo Station Exit 8, right in front of the Jeonpo1-dong Community Center. Apparently this is the second branch of the famous Moru Sikdang!!! I was already excited before even eating~

The shop is in the basement, so just watch your step going down the stairs!

Sarugak20's curry menu and what we ordered

Here's the menu! It's made up of curries, add-on ingredients, sides, and drinks. The side drinks even include Japanese drinks like Yebisu draft beer and cream soda, which seemed perfect to pair with Japanese-style curry.

I really wanted to try the half-and-half curry, so I went with that, my friend was craving the special curry, so she got that, and we also ordered karaage as a side~

• Special curry ₩12,000
• Half-and-half curry ₩10,000
• Karaage ₩6,000

Inside Sarugak20: wood-toned basement and the self-serve tea corner

After ordering, we looked around the shop~ The interior is done entirely in wood tones, giving it a really warm feeling. Kind of dreamy and soft, haha.

So many cute little props too 😊😊 Browsing the space is honestly half the fun.

Water is self-serve~~ You can choose between green tea and lime water.

And there's even a sink like this..~!! Hand cream provided too.. the owner has amazing taste..♡♡♡

Seating at Sarugak20 for solo diners and groups

Sarugak20's seating includes bar-style tables and table seats like this (there's also a counter-bar setup, so solo diners can come and eat comfortably! I'll have to come back for a solo meal next time~)

There were also group tables and round tables. With such a variety of seating types and plenty of seats, you can just pick whichever spot you like~

How the curries and karaage at Sarugak20 taste

Our food finally arrived~ When the owner brought it over, she told us the rice and curry could be refilled. It was already a generous portion, but refills too!!

Doesn't the curry look seriously delicious?!?!? And the plating on all the curries was so pretty that you have to take a ton of photos!! So cute!

Half-and-half curry, 10,000 won

The half-and-half curry! It's made up of cream curry and special curry. The cream curry was really smooth and creamy in flavor. The special curry had plenty of beef mixed into the curry sauce, which made it so tasty~ Cheese, sauce, and rice together — pure heaven~

Karaage, 6,000 won

The karaage!! The batter was thin and tender, so it was really tasty~ Eating it alongside the curry, it felt like we were in Japan~ haha

It's tasty dipped in the basic sauce that comes with it, but I also liked dipping it in the curry sauce~

Special curry, 12,000 won

The special curry had sausage, a poached egg, and cheese sprinkled on top, and it was great to scoop it up little by little with the poached egg. The curry had finely diced meat, onions, and other ingredients mixed in, giving it incredible depth of flavor and a really rich curry taste!!

The special curry has sausage as a topping, and the sausage was plump and really good to eat as a topping, haha. Scoop up the poached egg, sausage, rice, and plenty of sauce together and take a bite~~ Ugh, so good.

Is Sarugak20 worth it for a Jeonpo lunch?

Overall, the food was really delicious across the board. Personally, both the cream curry and special curry are my style, so I think I'll keep ordering the half-and-half curry that has both next time, haha. Since rice and curry refills are available, you can eat more if you're not full!!

It seemed comfortable whether you come with a group or alone, and since it's dog-friendly, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a dog-friendly spot~ And above all!!! The owner was so kind ㅠㅠ Her kind service just melted my heart, haha. Saving this as a place to visit again for a Jeonpo lunch~
