Bueokgan Chinese Haeundae Branch is a Chinese restaurant with European-style interiors on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae, Busan. Lunch here was BUUK jjajangmyeon, chili ganjjajang (black bean noodles) and shrimp fried rice, and the chili ganjjajang came topped with minced chili for a sharp, punchy heat. With a 50-pyeong hall, group tables and high chairs, Bueokgan suits a family meal and a date equally well.
Dongyang Baekban is a Korean set-meal (baekban) restaurant in a renovated old house near the middle of Hwangridan-gil in Gyeongju. For an early dinner with kids, the table at Dongyang Baekban had Sumi chicken stew at 28,000 won plus grilled salted mackerel, egg rice and a bowl of rice, all mixed in one big bowl, while the kids ran straight to the hanok photo zone in the back yard. The stew's spice level was medium enough for children, and the only letdown was the lack of familiar beer brands.
