The visit centered on crab odeng-tang (fish cake stew, ₩21,000), blueberry camembert cheese fritters (₩13,000) and a yuzu highball (₩8,000), pairing a spicy broth with crispy-outside-gooey-inside cheese. With bar seats and group tables alike, it works for both a date and a night out with friends. ## Good to know - **Location**: 225 Jeonpo-daero, 1st floor, Busanjin-gu, Busan - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–02:00 - **Amenities**: Reservations, separate men's/women's restrooms, group seating available, Wi-Fi, takeout - **Corkage**: Paid — ₩15,000 per bottle / ₩20,000 for whiskey - **Minimum order**: ₩15,000 or more - **Outside food**: Not allowed, except birthday cakes - **Blueberry camembert cheese fritters**: ₩13,000 - **Yuzu highball**: ₩8,000 - **Crab odeng-tang**: ₩21,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Main image of Jeonpo izakaya 12.24 Seomyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-01-1dklh-1200.webp) > 12.24 Seomyeon Branch ## Location and hours of 12.24 Seomyeon Branch - Location: 225 Jeonpo-daero, 1st floor, Busanjin-gu, Busan - Hours: Daily 17:00–02:00 - Amenities and services: Reservations, separate men's/women's restrooms, group seating available, Wi-Fi, takeout - Corkage available (paid): ₩15,000 per bottle / ₩20,000 for whiskey ![Exterior of 12.24 Seomyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-02-1au2v-900.webp) I finally visited 12.24 Seomyeon Branch, a Jeonpo-dong bar that's been popular for a while now !!!! ![Waiting area outside the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-03-qwnk9-800.webp) True to a popular Jeonpo-dong bar, there's even a waiting area right out front ![Menu board placed outside the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-04-1u77q-900.webp) You can check the menu board before even going inside, which is nice > < ![Interior with Christmas decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-05-1li4e-900.webp) ![Bar table and 4-seat table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-06-1onk9-m-900.webp) ## A place that feels like Christmas all year round There's a bar table, great for a date, and 4-seat tables too, great for visiting with friends ! The inside felt like Christmas, and it turns out you can enjoy that Christmas mood all year here ! I wondered why it always felt like Christmas here, and it's because 12.24 refers to December 24th, Christmas Eve — the day you want to spend with someone you love, the day you want to make happy memories, the day you count down to, the day you want to buy someone a gift, the day you want your heart to flutter, the day it's snowing and cold outside but warm in your heart. They said they wanted to create that Christmas Eve feeling. ![Group seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-07-nt951-900.webp) There's also group seating ![Table menu with pictures](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-08-p76ah-900.webp) ## How to order and minimum order amount You order right at the table, and the menu comes with pictures too. The minimum order is ₩15,000 or more, and while bringing outside food is sad, they turn a blind eye for birthday cakes since it's a special day ^.^ hahahahahaha Search 12.24 on Naver, save it, check 'my places,' and click get notifications !

We're both cheese lovers so we figured it'd be good, and dipped it in the blueberry sauce — it tasted like mozzarella + cream cheese, really chewy and savory ![Cheese fritter stretching as it's pulled apart](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-16-2r3k2-782.webp) The cheese was so soft and generous it was delicious ! Tastes exactly like that 'ex-boyfriend toast' flavor ## Yuzu highball ₩8,000 > Yuzu highball ₩8,000 ![A glass of yuzu highball](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-17-1juv8-900.webp) If there's a yuzu highball on the menu, I don't even think twice about ordering anything else. Yuzu highball has never once let me down anywhere. Though for reference, I don't actually drink yuzu tea haha it's a completely different vibe ! ## Crab odeng-tang ₩21,000, spice level selectable > Crab odeng-tang ₩21,000 ![A generously filled crab odeng-tang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-18-1eyqe-792.webp) The crab odeng-tang (fish cake stew) came out looking incredibly hearty. You can choose regular or extra spicy, and we went with regular. It was so packed full that we could barely even stir it with the ladle ㅜ ![Odeng-tang filled with crab, fish cakes and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-19-128qg-900.webp) There was a nice variety of plump fish cakes, a big crab as expected of a crab odeng-tang, and plenty of vegetables like wood ear mushrooms and mung bean sprouts. Choosing regular spice level gave it just the right kick, and since it was a bit salty for us, they added water and boiled it down, which balanced the seasoning perfectly ! ![Fish-shaped fish cake in the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball-20-1ium3-900.webp) As we kept eating, we found a cute fish-shaped fish cake too. A satisfying meal at 12.24 Seomyeon Branch, a Jeonpo-dong bar. Sashimi seems to be their main specialty, but I don't eat raw food so ..^^ Still, the spicy crab odeng-tang paired with the blueberry camembert cheese fritters was such a great combo ! ## Where it is - 12.24 Seomyeon Branch (12.24 서면점) - 225 Jeonpo-daero, 1st floor, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 1층 12.24 서면점 - 35.1566426, 129.0648909 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/12.24%20%EC%84%9C%EB%A9%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.1566426,129.0648909,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-dinner-glass/jeonpo-izakaya-crab-fishcake-soup-yuzu-highball/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
