It is Solsot Gwangalli, an already well-loved pot rice specialist. Two adults and one child visited and happily cleared the sea bream-and-scallop pot rice, steak pot rice, and nutty scorched-rice broth!! ## Location and parking near Gwangalli Beach It is tucked into an alley one block inland from Gwangalli Beach, in the direction of Geumnyeonsan Station, so it made for a really convenient stop before or after a beach walk. There is no dedicated parking at the restaurant, so we parked at a nearby private paid lot and walked over. Gwangalli has narrow alleys and lots of foot traffic, so I recommend checking nearby public or paid parking in advance if you are driving. ![Alley around Solsot Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-03-lq8j0-900.webp) ![Route to Solsot Gwangalli in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-04-1i43y-900.webp) There is usually a line at dinner and during weekend peak hours, so families visiting with children will find it much easier to arrive a little before the rush, like we did. We actually had no wait when we arrived at 11:30! ## A comfortable interior for dining with a child ![Calm interior of Solsot Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-05-k0uh7-900.webp) As we stepped inside, the calm, neatly finished interior welcomed us. Unlike the lively atmosphere by the sea, it was a comfortable space for a relaxed meal. ![Neatly arranged tables at Solsot Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-06-q45ho-900.webp) ![Japanese-Korean fusion-style lighting inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-07-1ckac-900.webp) The tables were arranged with enough space between them, and the cute Japanese-Korean fusion-style lighting gave the place a clean feel. It was a pleasant setting with everything families like ours needed to sit down and eat comfortably with a child. ## Ordering sea bream-and-scallop and steak pot rice ![Solsot Gwangalli menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-08-f8dg9-900.webp) Looking over the menu, I found a varied selection ranging from premium pot rice to side dishes. - Main pot rice: sea bream-and-scallop pot rice, steak pot rice, abalone pot rice, freshwater eel pot rice, salmon pot rice, grilled hairtail pot rice, [NEW] lobster shrimp pot rice, and more - Specialties and sides: pork jowl boiled pork with spicy fresh kimchi, Solsot shabu-shabu, house-made fried shrimp, yuringi, and more ![Pot rice and side dish menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-09-11vnv-900.webp) We ordered sea bream-and-scallop pot rice with extra sea bream, steak pot rice, and an extra pot of rice so we could share generously with our child. ![Sea bream-and-scallop and steak pot rice order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-10-4acjz-900.webp) ## How the sea bream-and-scallop and steak pot rice tasted Not long after ordering, the pot rice dishes arrived one by one as neatly arranged individual tray meals. ![Individual tray meal with pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-11-vzkp9-900.webp) First, the sea bream-and-scallop pot rice I chose came with extra sea bream, so it looked generously topped with fish and scallops from the start. I mixed it well, scooped up a generous bite with rice, and found its light yet nutty flavor even better than I expected. ![Sea bream-and-scallop pot rice and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-12-1yg20-900.webp) ![A bite of sea bream-and-scallop pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-13-ps3df-900.webp) I have had pot rice in many places, but one bite made it immediately clear why Solsot is so famous and why people line up for it. ![Nutty sea bream-and-scallop pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-14-lexss-900.webp) There was not even a hint of fishiness—only a nutty richness—so I kept happily scooping it up without feeling weighed down. Mixed lightly with the house soy sauce, it was absolutely delicious. I mixed a piece of the extra sea bream into the extra rice for our child, and I was honestly surprised at how well our child ate it, better than at any other rice restaurant! ![Sea bream pot rice shared with a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-15-9r3mf-900.webp) ![Steak pot rice setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-16-1qde3-900.webp) ![Steak pot rice with cubed beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-17-18y9d-900.webp) My husband’s steak pot rice was also packed with large cubes of beef. Its dedicated steak sauce had that perfect sweet-and-salty balance, with wonderful savory depth. The meat was not tough at all but so tender; our child eagerly ate both the steak and sea bream when I placed them over rice. The banchan (Korean side dishes)—salted seafood, kimchi, salad, and miso soup—also went beautifully with the pot rice. ![Banchan served with pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-18-1ojia-900.webp) ![Salted seafood, kimchi, salad, and miso soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-19-15o8c-900.webp) ## Finishing the meal with scorched-rice broth The highlight of the meal was sungnyung, the scorched-rice tea made by pouring the restaurant’s special broth over the nurungji (crispy scorched rice) left in the pot. This nurungji broth was not plain water but a properly seasoned, savory broth, making it the perfect warm, mildly salty finish in this season when the cool breeze is starting to blow. ![Sungnyung made by pouring broth over scorched rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-20-uup0e-900.webp) ![Savory scorched-rice broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-21-dknt6-900.webp) Our child seemed to love the scorched rice in this broth too, lifting the bowl and drinking it down with relish. ## A neat family pot rice meal in Gwangalli ![Finishing a meal at Solsot Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-22-qsm27-900.webp) ![A neat pot rice meal enjoyed with family](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-23-cu2p0-900.webp) Convenient nearby parking, a neat and pleasant dining room, and the perfect pairing of lightly nutty sea bream-and-scallop pot rice with sweet-and-salty steak pot rice, without a trace of fishiness! The flavorful scorched-rice broth at the end let our whole family finish a warm, easy-on-the-stomach meal with great satisfaction. If you are craving a neatly prepared Korean meal in a season like this, when a cool breeze is blowing, stop by Solsot Gwangalli. ![Meal record from a visit to Solsot Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot-24-1bnbe-900.webp) ## Where it is - Solsot Gwangalli (솔솥 광안리점) - 78 Gwangnam-ro, 1F, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 수영구 광남로 78 1층) - 부산광역시 수영구 광남로 78 1층 - 35.1489963, 129.1137149 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%94%EC%86%A5%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1489963,129.1137149,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-last-banchan/gwangalli-kids-domigwanja-solsot/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
