A family of four, joined late by dad after his evening shift, shared the 39,500-won Jadu two-person set plus menbosha (deep-fried shrimp toast), udon, a one-gulp draft beer and milk pudding, and rated the 100-hour aged curry and the karaage highest. Daidokoro is an easy, comfortable choice for lunch or dinner with two young kids. ## Good to know - **Address**: Daidokoro, 2nd floor, 27 Namcheon-dong-ro 108beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:00 (break 15:00–17:00); Sat–Sun 11:00–21:00, no break - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Facilities**: Takeout available, reservations through CatchTable, groups welcome - **Parking**: No private lot; 1,000 won refunded when using a nearby paid parking lot - **Jadu two-person set**: 39,500 won - **Menbosha (shrimp toast), 4 pcs**: 5,000 won - **Jadu wat-soda (plum ade)**: 6,000 won - **One-gulp draft beer**: 3,000 won - **Curry set meal**: 8,500 won - **[BEST] Karaage set meal**: 11,900 won - **Tonkatsu curry set**: 13,900 won - **Milk pudding**: 4,500 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Signature photo of Japanese home-style food at Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-01-19qa7-1200.webp) Today I'm bringing you our visit to Daidokoro, a Japanese home-style restaurant in Gwangalli, that we all went to as a family after Chaechae's dad finished his evening work! I'd been curious since I heard it's been in the same spot for over 10 years, and honestly, from the curry to the tonkatsu to the karaage, the quality was on another level haha. It's near Namcheon-dong so it's easy to get to, and it's a 10-minute walk from Geumnyeonsan Station, so it's convenient by public transit too. ![Exterior of Daidokoro on the 2nd floor of a Namcheon-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-02-845xr-966.webp) ![Entrance sign at Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-03-13byo-966.webp) ## Where is Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch, and its hours and parking Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch is on the 2nd floor of 27 Namcheon-dong-ro 108beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan.

Each table had cute little props arranged on it, and the walls were covered with doodles and photos drawn by waiting customers, so it was fun just looking around. ## Curry, tonkatsu, karaage and udon: what came with the set ![Daidokoro's Jadu 2-person set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-08-1bkw1-966.webp) ![100-hour aged curry served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-09-3b70r-966.webp) ![Curry sauce served on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-10-1dj54-966.webp) ![Crispy fried tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-11-14s4e-966.webp) ![Plate of crispy-outside, juicy-inside karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-12-1naej-966.webp) ![Udon included with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-13-bn4c8-966.webp) ![Set spread of curry and tonkatsu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-14-e6z51-966.webp) ![Curry sauce poured over rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-15-1kuoz-966.webp) ![Table with karaage and curry laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-16-lifk4-966.webp) This restaurant's signature is definitely the 100-hour aged curry! It's nutty and smooth, good down to the last spoonful. I also liked that the curry sauce comes on the side, so you can pour as much as you want over the rice. They say the tonkatsu is made with meat prepped that same day — crispy outside and juicy inside, so even the kids ate it well. The karaage really lived up to the phrase 'crispy outside, tender inside' — a flavor everyone, young and old, would love. ![Mentbosha included in the set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-17-1tgev-966.webp) ![Cross-section of mentbosha packed with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-18-l4ig5-966.webp) ![A bowl of mild-broth udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-19-2g5cs-m-966.webp) Mentbosha (fried shrimp toast) is also included in the set menu haha. The crispy fried coating was packed full of shrimp inside, a real treat. The udon broth was mild and deep, perfectly suited to the kids' taste too. ## Our family of four's late dinner at Daidokoro, dish by dish ![Jadu ade and mini draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-20-1jucc-966.webp) ![Milk pudding served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-21-1ngzr-966.webp) Chaechae's dad joined late after finishing his evening work, but the jadu ade and mini draft beer washed away his whole day's fatigue haha. Chaechae's older and younger kids really tucked into the udon and karaage, saying they were full but never putting their chopsticks down lol. The kids inhaled the milk pudding the moment they finished their rice hahaha. I actually work near this neighborhood and have come here many times paying out of my own pocket, and it's satisfying every single time. It was a happy evening where all four of us ate until we were stuffed. ## Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch menu prices (selected) - Jadu 2-person set ₩39,500 - Mentbosha 4pcs ₩5,000 - Jadu Wat-soda (ade) ₩6,000 - Mini draft beer ₩3,000 - Curry set ₩8,500 - [BEST] Karaage set ₩11,900 - Tonkatsu curry set ₩13,900 - Milk pudding ₩4,500 Prices are as of the visit date and may change. ![Menu board at Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-22-1tyc9-966.webp) ![Seating area inside Daidokoro](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-23-1ysl1-966.webp) ![Table after finishing the meal at Daidokoro](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner-24-1bj50-966.webp) > From 100-hour aged curry to tonkatsu and karaage — a Japanese home-style restaurant near Namcheon-dong's Geumnyeonsan Station that satisfied the whole family! ## Where it is - Daidokoro Gwangalli Main Branch (다이도코로 광안리본점) - 27 Namcheon-dong-ro 108beon-gil, 2nd floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 남천동로108번길 27 2층 다이도코로 - 35.1465928, 129.112545 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8F%84%EC%BD%94%EB%A1%9C%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EB%A6%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.1465928,129.112545,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-mirror-menu/daidokoro-gwangalli-jadu-set-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
