From the interior to the food, it was totally my kind of place :) Walk straight from Gwangan Station toward the beach and you will spot a sign with a cute bear character. Just look for the sign and you will not get lost. ![Salmon Brothers bear character sign in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-01-1a6ta-966.webp) ## A stylish atmosphere starting on the stairs to the second floor ![Salmon Brothers second-floor stairway interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-02-1373v-966.webp) ![Restaurant stairway with character posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-03-93ut4-966.webp) ![Salmon Brothers stairs leading to the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-04-1p7dq-966.webp) Even before entering, the stairs up to the second floor were anything but ordinary. Cute Salmon Brothers character posters lined the way up, so my excitement shot up in that short walk alone. ![Salmon Brothers entrance certification notices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-05-1t35g-966.webp) At the door, there were certificates showing that it had been selected as an outstanding business in the Korea Consumer Industry Assessment for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025), along with a Suyeong-gu, Busan Safe Restaurant certification mark. That made me feel confident about the hygiene and service, too. ## A hip, cool dining room The moment I opened the door, I could tell how much thought had gone into the interior. It had an overall hip, cool mood, with soft lighting, giant teddy bears here and there, and plenty of atmospheric little props to keep my eyes happy. ![Restaurant interior with teddy bears and decorative props](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-06-14al8-966.webp) The restaurant logo was softly lit on the wall, making it a really great spot for photos. ![Restaurant logo wall lit with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-07-1shhw-966.webp) This really felt perfect for a Gwangalli date course. Each table felt private, so it was comfortable to talk, too. ## Browsing and ordering from a tablet Once seated, we browsed the menu and ordered directly from a tablet. There was quite a variety, from salmon, yukhoe (Korean-style beef tartare), and flounder assortments to yukhoe-and-flounder combinations, salmon-specific sake, wine, whisky, and highballs. Along with sashimi, there were pasta dishes too—just the kind of selection you would expect from a good Western-style restaurant in Gwangalli. ![Salmon Brothers menu viewed on a tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-08-12wiv-966.webp) ## Aglio e olio and a 300g salmon-and-flounder platter We ordered aglio e olio pasta and a 300g half-salmon, half-flounder sashimi platter. The pasta arrived first, and it felt a little different from the aglio e olio I usually have. Perhaps because the garlic had been sautéed almost like it was fried, the sauce had such a rich, nutty garlic flavor. It was really delicious. ![Ordered aglio e olio pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-09-g0njt-966.webp) The sashimi platter that came next looked visibly fresh. We visited a little late, around 8 p.m., so there was not much flounder left, but the owner sliced us about 100g more salmon. My boyfriend was so happy! For a couple who loves sashimi, it was absolutely our taste. (Thank you, owner~) I also found out that this place is known for its giant salmon sushi, so it has a reputation as a Gwangalli sushi spot too. I definitely want to try that next time. ![Half salmon and half flounder sashimi platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-10-8s87d-1200.webp) One small disappointment, though: I like wrapping sashimi in ssam (leaf wraps), but no wraps or ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) were provided separately. I will have to ask in advance next time. ## Bear-shaped ice drinks and salmon-specific sake We ordered drinks, and they came with bear-shaped ice cubes—so cute and such a fun, different touch. The alcohol was also served in pretty glasses painted with plum blossoms, which made the mood even better. ![Drink with bear-shaped ice cubes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-11-7euwj-966.webp) ![Drink and a plum-blossom-painted glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-12-1duh4-966.webp) ![Bear-ice drink and alcohol glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-13-i9ytr-966.webp) One special point here is a salmon-specific sake called “Salmon Deshu Junmai,” made to pair with salmon dishes. I did not get to try it this time, but I definitely plan to next time. ![Salmon Deshu Junmai salmon-specific sake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-14-qi621-960.webp) ## Finishing with mochi tofu dessert For dessert, we ordered mochi tofu. It was my first time trying it here, and its pudding-like soft texture went so well with the brown sugar sauce. > Ordering this was seriously a genius move. It was a dish we both could not stop praising. ![Mochi tofu with brown sugar sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-15-12bhp-966.webp) ## A clean restroom and mirror photo spot The restroom was kept very clean, and there was even mouthwash available, so we could leave feeling fresh rather than with that lingering after-meal taste. ![Restaurant restroom with mouthwash provided](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-16-1rm6h-966.webp) ![Clean, well-maintained restaurant restroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-17-136ft-966.webp) On the way out, there was a mirror photo spot, so we made the most of it and took photos right until the end. ![Mirror photo spot by the exit](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date-18-4yip1-966.webp) ## Final thoughts on this Gwangalli date meal From the interior and fresh sashimi to the pasta and dessert, there was not a single thing missing from this satisfying place. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a variety of dishes—salmon sashimi, yukhoe, pasta, and sushi—in one place in Gwangalli, especially if you are looking for a date spot. Next time, I will definitely try the yukhoe and Salmon Deshu sake, too! ## Where it is - Salmon Brothers (살몬 브라더스) - 49 Gwangan-ro, 2nd floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 수영구 광안로 49, 2층) - 부산광역시 수영구 광안로 49 2층 - 35.1552768, 129.1176707 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%B4%EB%AA%AC%20%EB%B8%8C%EB%9D%BC%EB%8D%94%EC%8A%A4/@35.1552768,129.1176707,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coastal-noodle-stamp/gwangalli-salmon-pasta-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
