Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch is the milmyeon restaurant that Busan City Hall staff pick as their number one, hands down. It's good year-round, but milmyeon really shines in summer, so I came over near Busan City Hall to eat some haha It's been around forever and it's considered the best milmyeon place in the neighborhood — and the flavor really backs that up! - The pick of Busan City Hall staff! - Affordable prices - Featured on Life of Masters! ## Location and parking near Busan City Hall Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch is an 8-minute walk from Busan City Hall Station! And parking is available for 30 minutes free at Kingkong 1 Parking Lot, which is a total plus haha ### The storefront ![Exterior of Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-01-1sxmk-900.webp) ![Entrance of Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-02-gmlir-900.webp) You can just smell the real deal here haha. In summer there's a huge wait, especially on weekday lunches! There are a lot of government offices nearby so that's part of it, but I think people line up because it's genuinely delicious. I remember coming here to eat a lot back in the day haha. And they told me it was on Life of Masters!! So cool haha, now I get why it's stayed popular all this time haha. ## Seating inside and how fast tables turn The interior seating was quite spacious! Last time I ate here it was so packed I didn't have a chance to look around, but there's seating all the way to the back, so I took some photos! ![Interior seating of Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-03-kqay9-900.webp) ![Spacious hall with tables inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-04-16i80-900.webp) ![Seating extending toward the back of the milmyeon restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-05-bhk78-900.webp) ![Interior wall and seating arrangement](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-06-dlptg-900.webp) ![Inner hall of Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-07-iogzu-m-900.webp) Even when it's crowded, turnover is fast, so you don't wait long!! Milmyeon is a dish you eat quick and go, haha. ![Basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-08-155v5-900.webp) ![Standard broth served on request](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-09-zo547-900.webp) You can also drink the standard broth if you ask for it! The owner kindly brings it over. ## Menu and prices: large portion for ₩1,000 more ![Menu board and price list at Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-10-1idd8-900.webp) I think the reason people keep coming back is probably the price~ It's so reasonable!! And the meat, the main ingredient, is domestic Korean! In a world full of Chinese ingredients these days, domestic meat feels really precious. A large portion is just ₩1,000 more for double the amount — such a good deal!! We ordered 1 milmyeon, 1 bibim-milmyeon, and 1 order of dumplings! ## Side dishes and the broth ![Basic side dishes served with milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-11-1hz0m-900.webp) ![Plate of pickled radish side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-12-cbsum-900.webp) ![Milmyeon broth in a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-13-1aicb-900.webp) The basic side dishes came out first, and I also tried the broth they brought over — I feel like that's half the reason I come to places like this. The broth was so good haha. Sometimes broth is too salty and ruins the milmyeon flavor, but this one was mildly seasoned and delicious. After a short wait, the milmyeon came out fast! Personally I think of milmyeon as kind of a fast food (?) haha. ![Glossy bowl of mul-milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-14-kyzar-900.webp) ![Close-up of mul-milmyeon topped with dadaegi](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-15-1yj0c-900.webp) ![Bibim-milmyeon with thick spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-16-jszs6-900.webp) Milmyeon glistening with sheen!! Looks so good, right haha. The mul-milmyeon combines noodles with dadaegi (spicy sauce) in a broth with just the right amount of melted ice, while the bibim-milmyeon combines noodles with a thick, spicy sauce that looked super appetizing. ![Table spread with mul-milmyeon, bibim-milmyeon and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-17-pixgv-1200.webp) The combination of mul-milmyeon, bibim-milmyeon, and dumplings felt so perfectly balanced haha. ### Mul-milmyeon (noodles in cold broth) ![Mul-milmyeon with icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-18-j5q8w-900.webp) First, the foundation of Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch!!!! I tried the mul-milmyeon first. As a true representative of Busan-style milmyeon, the depth of the broth was insane~ The slightly sweet broth, not too salty, had just the right saltiness, and it paired so, so well with the noodles and dadaegi! Yep... this is the flavor I've known since way back ㅠㅠ The moment I took a bite I shouted this is it ㅠㅠ If you come to Busan to eat milmyeon, please come to Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch ㅠㅠ The broth and noodles matched so perfectly that I could slurp it down happily!!! When I tipped the bowl back, I got the noodles, broth, and even the icy bits all in one gulp! And even drinking it like that, it was never too heavy — a well-balanced milmyeon. ### Bibim-milmyeon (spicy mixed noodles) ![Bowl of bibim-milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-19-2k86n-900.webp) ![Top view of bibim-milmyeon with spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-20-iql56-900.webp) Did you know Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch's bibim-milmyeon is also a standout? For this to truly be Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch's milmyeon, it needs the well-balanced spicy sauce topped with fermented skate haha. You haven't really had Busan-style milmyeon unless you've eaten the fermented skate too, haha. ![Bibim-milmyeon topped with fermented skate](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-21-h9gh1-900.webp) It wasn't too spicy, and there was a nice hint of sesame oil aroma coming through — so delicious~! Right when the mul-milmyeon starts feeling plain, one bite of bibim-milmyeon makes you feel like you have it all. ### The order of 8 dumplings ![Plate of 8 dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-22-vvk78-900.webp) ![One dumpling paired with milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-23-1sqnk-900.webp) If you feel like your milmyeon needs a little more meat, I definitely recommend the dumplings haha. The dumpling-plus-milmyeon combo was so good. ## Best order to eat it in ![One bite combining dumpling, mul-milmyeon and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall-24-1mgxh-900.webp) My tip: one dumpling plus mul-milmyeon with a side of pickled radish is such a good texture combination, perfect for one big satisfying bite haha. The balance between those three is really something!! The go-to milmyeon spot near Busan City Hall!! Come to Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch and finish off a refreshing bowl of mul-milmyeon!! ## Where it is - Somunnan Gaya Milmyeon Busan City Hall Branch (소문난가야밀면 부산시청점) - 28 Geojesijang-ro 14beon-gil, Yeonje-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 연제구 거제시장로14번길 28 소문난 가야밀면 - 35.1820748, 129.0729767 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EB%AC%B8%EB%82%9C%EA%B0%80%EC%95%BC%EB%B0%80%EB%A9%B4%20%EB%B6%80%EC%82%B0%EC%8B%9C%EC%B2%AD%EC%A0%90/@35.1820748,129.0729767,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@fourth-chair-seoul/somun-gaya-milmyeon-busan-city-hall/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
