Over a slow lunch with her mother, the writer ordered mackerel and gondre (Korean thistle) rice for 14,000 won, herring roe bibim noodles for 13,000 won and grilled deodeok and mushrooms for 9,000 won. If you want a quiet place in Jeonpo to bring your parents for a meal, Hyangtaek is the answer. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 42-1 Seojeon-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan, on the main road at Jeonpo-sageori - **Getting there**: 5-minute walk from Exit 7 of Jeonpo Station; 2–5 minutes from the old NC Department Store - **Mackerel and gondre rice**: 14,000 won - **Herring roe bibim noodles**: 13,000 won - **Grilled deodeok and mushrooms**: 9,000 won - **Seating**: About 8 tables - **Wait**: No wait on the day of the visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Mackerel gondre rice and herring roe bibim noodles table setting at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-01-32999-900.webp) > Hyangtaek Jeonpo review — an honest take on mackerel gondre rice and herring roe bibim noodles from the restaurant that used to have lines at Daegu's Gyodong Market ## Hyangtaek: a Korean restaurant in Jeonpo to bring your parents to Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch is a Korean restaurant on the main street of Jeonpo-sageori, and it's the Jeonpo location of the restaurant that used to have lines at Daegu's Gyodong Market. It was a date day with my mom after a long while, but it turns out there's basically nowhere in Jeonpo to take your parents for a meal. When I come to Jeonpo with friends, I just wander in wherever looks nice — but with my mom, I want somewhere we can sit and chat quietly over food. Search around and it's all brunch spots, Western food, mala tang, or loud hotspots... ![Entrance of Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch viewed from the Jeonpo street](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-02-1vwfs-900.webp) ![Exterior of Hyangtaek, a Korean restaurant on the main street of Jeonpo-sageori](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-03-5g1ys-900.webp) Just when I was wondering if it could really be this hard to find a Korean restaurant in Jeonpo to talk quietly over a meal, I found this place — "Hyangtaek"! The restaurant with lines at Daegu's Gyodong Market, now in Jeonpo. ## Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch hours and how long you wait ![Business hours sign at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-04-ezs06-900.webp) ![Entrance of Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch with no wait](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-05-5v8dv-900.webp) Lucky for us, no wait this time! ## Where is Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch and how do you get there? "Hyangtaek" Jeonpo Branch sits right about halfway between Seomyeon Station and Jeonpo Station, on the main street of Jeonpo-sageori. ![Walking route from Exit 7 of Jeonpo Station to Hyangtaek](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-06-1it69-900.webp) ![Street view across from Busanjin Fire Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-07-1f60w-900.webp) ![Alley in Jeonpo-dong leading to Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-08-5pz64-900.webp) It took about 5 minutes on foot from Exit 7 of Jeonpo Station. Once you see the Busanjin Fire Station, head straight down the street facing it — if you're near the old NC Department Store, it's a 2–5-minute walk. ### What Hyangtaek looks like from the street It's right near Jeonpo café street, but the moment you open the door, everything goes quiet. A totally different world from outside. ### Inside Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch: seating and atmosphere Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch has about 8 tables. Not too big, not too small — cozy and comfortable. At the table next to us was a family with a baby, and everyone kept their voices down while eating. Perfect for sitting side by side with my mom and chatting quietly. The staff were kind too. ## Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch menu and prices ![Menu board at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-09-17wpn-900.webp) ![Hyangtaek menu page listing mackerel gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-10-1uem8-900.webp) ![Menu listing eggplant doenjang rice bowl and yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-11-isatc-900.webp) ![Menu page featuring chamnamul and squid rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-12-1uyvr-900.webp) ![Hyangtaek menu page with the galbi platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-13-ibym8-m-900.webp) ![Menu page for herring roe bibim noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-14-ya373-900.webp) ![Side menu list at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-15-gil2z-900.webp) I flipped open the menu first. Mackerel gondre rice, eggplant doenjang rice bowl, yukhoe (raw beef tartare) bibimbap, chamnamul and squid rice bowl, and even a full galbi platter. It's more understated, well-made Korean food than anything spicy or heavy — mackerel topped with gondre (thistle greens), bibim noodles with herring roe. Not combinations I'd had much before, so I wanted to try everything and agonized over it for a while. ### What we ordered at Hyangtaek - Mackerel and gondre rice — 14,000 won - Herring roe bibim noodles — 13,000 won - Grilled deodeok and mushrooms — 9,000 won ![Full table with mackerel gondre rice, herring roe bibim noodles, and grilled deodeok mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-16-9u4s8-1200.webp) After much deliberation, we went with the mackerel and gondre rice, the herring roe bibim noodles, and the grilled deodeok and mushrooms. ## Mackerel and gondre rice, 14,000 won Hyangtaek's "mackerel and gondre rice" arrived and you literally can't see the rice haha. A mountain of gondre dropped right on top of the thick mackerel fillet! The gondre completely covers the rice, and the aroma is out of this world — the mackerel is thick and boneless, so it's really easy to eat. Zero fishy smell! ![Mackerel gondre rice at Hyangtaek covered in gondre greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-17-6v1of-900.webp) ![Mackerel gondre rice wrapped in gim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-18-1n1fo-900.webp) The rice itself is lightly seasoned, so it's perfect with the pickled gungchae (Ulleungdo herb) on the side, and it's also great wrapped in the crispy gim (dried seaweed). ## Grilled deodeok and mushrooms, 9,000 won ![Plate of grilled deodeok and mushrooms at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-19-1dvml-900.webp) ![Close-up of grilled deodeok and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-20-wwxpm-900.webp) ![Grilled deodeok and mushrooms placed on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-21-zj63l-900.webp) ![A bite-sized piece of grilled deodeok and mushrooms picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-22-1sfij-900.webp) We also ordered the "grilled deodeok (mountain herb root) and mushrooms" as a side, and piled on top of the rice for a bite... the combination left us speechless. If you need a hearty, filling meal, order this without a doubt. ## Herring roe bibim noodles, 13,000 won At first glance, I assumed the "herring roe bibim noodles" were just regular gochujang bibim noodles, but all that red you see is entirely herring roe haha. It's a texture on a completely different level from flying fish roe — that pop, pop, pop — and the more you mix it, the more the nutty sesame oil aroma comes through. If you're expecting a tangy-sweet bibim noodle, think again! It's not tangy, salty, or sweet — quite mellow, actually — but somehow you keep reaching for more with your chopsticks. ![Herring roe bibim noodles at Hyangtaek piled with roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-23-voei7-900.webp) ![Herring roe bibim noodles mixed with beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon-24-t04qe-900.webp) There's also plenty of beef brisket on the side, so "healthily addictive" feels like exactly the right way to describe it. So satisfying! ## Final verdict: a quiet Jeonpo restaurant for a meal with parents If you want something reliable and filling, go with the mackerel and gondre rice; if you're after something a bit more unusual, the herring roe bibim noodles. It's genuinely hard to find a place in Jeonpo to take your parents for a meal, but I finally found somewhere I really love after a long time. Mellow, well-made food that's genuinely good for bringing your elders — that's "Hyangtaek." Next time I'm going for the full galbi platter. But I have a feeling once word spreads, this place will have a line too, so go while there's still no wait. ## Where it is - Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch (향택 전포점) - 1F, 42-1 Seojeon-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 서전로 42-1 1층 - 35.1575699, 129.0643624 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%96%A5%ED%83%9D%20%EC%A0%84%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1575699,129.0643624,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gijang-table-slip/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mom-lunch-cheongeoal-bibimmyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
