On a weekend visit, a family of four with an 8-year-old and a 6-year-old ordered two abalone pot rice sets plus one abalone seafood hinoki set, and the food arrived in stomach-bursting quantity, from the boiled pork slices to the soy-marinated crab and seasoned cockles. Songjeongok was the best Korean meal this family has had since moving to Busan, and it is an easy recommendation for a family dinner with kids. ## Good to know - **Address**: 54-1 Songjeonggwangeogol-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan (1F and 2F) - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 - **Menu**: Abalone pot rice set, abalone seafood hinoki (cypress steamer) set, whole octopus sukhoe (blanched octopus) — bossam and pot rice can be added - **Price difference**: The abalone pot rice set and the abalone seafood hinoki set differ by 4,000 won - **Parking**: 6 spots right in front of the restaurant (double parking); roadside or nearby lots when full - **Location**: Within a 5-minute walk of Songjeong Beach - **Reservations**: Weekend waits are possible, so Naver reservation is recommended - **Price reference**: ₩4,000 ≈ $3 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Main image of Songjeongok, a Korean restaurant in Songjeong, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-01-1hhnj-1200.webp) Today I want to introduce Songjeongok, a Songjeong Beach restaurant we visited last weekend. It's the best Korean food I think my family has eaten since we moved to Busan, so I'm recommending it as a Songjeong Korean restaurant — here's my Songjeongok review for anyone looking for good food in Songjeong, Busan. ## How many cars can park at Songjeongok? There are 6 double-parking spots right in front of Songjeongok. I figured there'd be no space on a weekend visit, but luckily there was a spot, so we parked there!! When it's full, you'll probably need to use roadside parking or a nearby lot. ![Exterior of Songjeongok and the parking spots out front](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-02-ra5ul-900.webp) ## Songjeongok location and opening hours The address is 54-1 Songjeonggwangeogol-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1F and 2F, and hours are 11:00–22:00. Songjeongok is within a 5-minute walk of Songjeong Beach, so it's very accessible for travelers. ## What Songjeongok looks like inside ![First-floor Korean restaurant interior at Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-03-139md-900.webp) ![The quiet, old-fashioned interior of Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-04-zqc84-900.webp) ![Seating and walkway inside Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-05-rzjz3-900.webp) ![Interior decor details at Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-06-kbdj0-900.webp) ![Interior space leading up to the second floor at Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-07-13rfi-900.webp) The quiet, old-fashioned interior really stood out — it looks like a proper Korean restaurant. Songjeongok has a second floor too, but we were seated on the first floor. There can be a wait on weekend visits, so I'd recommend booking through Naver Reservation. ## What is on the Songjeongok menu? ![Songjeongok's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-08-14ypw-900.webp) ![Menu listing the abalone pot rice set and hinoki set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-09-e8mq4-966.webp) - Abalone pot rice set - Abalone seafood hinoki (cypress steam box) set - Whole octopus sukhoe (boiled octopus) Abalone pot rice is the base, and if you order the seafood hinoki set, you get the pot rice plus a hinoki steam box on the side. Bossam (boiled pork wraps) and extra pot rice can be added. The abalone pot rice set and the abalone seafood hinoki set only differ by ₩4,000, so getting the hinoki set seems like a solid choice! ## The food at Songjeongok, from yuzu salad to stir-fried squid ![Yuzu salad served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-10-1ky7s-900.webp) A refreshing yuzu salad came out first. It was a nice light bite before the main meal. ![Songjeongok's richly seasoned stir-fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-11-1vqy2-900.webp) Stir-fried squid came out too, and the sauce was seriously delicious. You could tell this is a true Korean food spot from this dish alone. The kind of seasoning you want to mix straight into your rice. ![Doenjang jjigae served as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-12-1x5sb-900.webp) Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) also came out. No Korean meal is complete without it. ![Songjeongok's table set for three servings](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-13-1a5qr-900.webp) ## Family of four with kids aged 8 and 6: how many servings to order? We ordered two abalone pot rice sets and one abalone seafood hinoki set at Songjeongok. Since we were eating with our 8- and 6-year-olds, we ordered three servings total, and honestly I thought we'd burst haha... If your kids are preschool age, ordering two servings plus an extra pot rice or bossam would probably be enough. ![Tender, easy-to-cut boiled pork at Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-14-nebvy-900.webp) ![Boiled pork bossam on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-15-x7ngt-900.webp) ![The boiled pork the kids enjoyed at Songjeongok](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-16-1mru3-900.webp) Songjeongok's boiled pork (suyuk) is genuinely amazing. It's tender and cuts easily even with a fork, so the kids ate it up. My eldest daughter, who usually refuses anything even slightly dry or chewy, said it was delicious and really cleaned her plate. ![Songjeongok's vinegared squid side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-17-10fyv-900.webp) ![Julienned radish, cockle salad and other basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-18-1fcua-900.webp) ![Songjeongok's seasoned raw crab side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-19-1nchi-900.webp) ![A nutty tofu side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-20-tcb6n-900.webp) ### Which side dishes come with the meal? Vinegared squid, julienned radish, cockle salad, seasoned crab — literally every single one was delicious~!! The tofu was nutty and good too, honestly not a single miss!! Whatever you pick up with your chopsticks, it's good. My husband and I both kept saying this is the best food we've had since moving here haha. The seasoning isn't overdone, just right, so you keep reaching for more haha. You could eat two bowls of rice with just these side dishes alone. ![Songjeongok's abalone pot rice served in its pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-21-lvm96-900.webp) ## Songjeongok abalone pot rice: will kids eat it? Between the boiled pork and the side dishes, the abalone pot rice arrived too~ A truly authentic abalone pot rice with abalone, egg, and even the innards mixed in. Forget Busan milmyeon (cold wheat noodles) and gukbap (rice soup) — this is the real Songjeong food spot. ![Pot rice with abalone, egg and innards mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-22-15wsu-900.webp) The abalone isn't fishy at all — nutty and tender — so even the kids ate it well. ![Seafood hinoki steam box topped with abalone, shrimp and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-23-1oaz2-900.webp) ### The hinoki set for 4,000 won more For ₩4,000 more on the abalone pot rice, you can get the hinoki set as well, so it's worth trying together. It comes with abalone, shrimp, clams and squid over a bed of bean sprouts. Try dipping it in the peanut and chili sauce on the side~! ![Nurungji served at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family-24-dgwwf-966.webp) ## Nurungji (crispy rice) to finish, and the verdict on Songjeongok They even finish you off with nurungji (scorched rice)~! It was seriously delicious and we left happily, comfortably full~ I think we'll be back often whenever we're craving Korean food. The side dishes are neatly plated and the whole table setting feels refined, so I think parents would love it too. I'll definitely bring people here on their next Busan trip. If you're looking for a great Korean restaurant in Songjeong, Busan, it's Songjeongok!! It was genuinely delicious, so I really want to recommend it~!! ## Where it is - Songjeongok Songjeong Main Branch (송정옥 송정본점) - 54-1 Songjeonggwangeogol-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 해운대구 송정광어골로 54-1 1층, 2층 - 35.1767807, 129.1959813 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%A1%EC%A0%95%EC%98%A5%20%EC%86%A1%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.1767807,129.1959813,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gimhae-window-seat/songjeongok-songjeong-abalone-sotbap-family/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
