Remembering the poached-egg octopus rice bowl (suran nakji junghwa deopbap) from a couple's date, the writer came back for an early weekday lunch with their child and added jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and kkanpung shrimp, and the child nearly finished a whole bowl of jjajangmyeon. With baby chairs and kids' tableware on hand, Bueokgan Chinese Haeundae Branch works well for a family meal out. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 200 Dalmaji-gil 117beon-gagil, Haeundae-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Dishes ordered**: Poached-egg octopus rice bowl (suran nakji junghwa deopbap), jjajangmyeon, kkanpung shrimp - **Side dishes**: Jjasai (pickled mustard tuber), danmuji (pickled radish) - **With children**: Baby chairs and kids' tableware provided *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* There's a Chinese restaurant in Haeundae, Busan that my husband and I really love the vibe of~ We visited on a date a while back and enjoyed it so much I thought, next time I have to bring our kid along.

Even though we came for an early weekday lunch, it was packed with customers. ![Baby chair and kids' tableware set up for a family visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-07-1nt6e-m-900.webp) They had a baby chair and kids' tableware ready, so it's a good spot to visit with a child. ### Side dishes served: jjasai and danmuji ![Banchan of jjasai and danmuji served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-08-12jru-900.webp) The banchan (side dishes) were jjasai (pickled mustard tuber) and danmuji (pickled radish). ## Bueokgan Chinese menu and what three of us ordered ![Menu board at Bueokgan Chinese Haeundae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-09-1c6ya-900.webp) ![Menu page listing rice and noodle dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-10-4kgne-900.webp) ![Menu page listing cooked dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-11-dpoes-900.webp) ![Last page of the Bueokgan Chinese menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-12-joddd-900.webp) We ordered the nakji junghwa deopbap (poached-egg octopus rice bowl), jjajangmyeon, and kkanpung shrimp! ## Jjajangmyeon: the child nearly finished a whole bowl ![Glossy jjajangmyeon from Bueokgan Chinese](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-13-103wl-900.webp) Jjajangmyeon is one of those dishes you can't skip at a Chinese restaurant. We ordered it for our kid. The glossy jjajangmyeon looked delicious just from the sight of it. ![Close-up of jjajangmyeon mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-14-1s8ya-900.webp) The noodles were nice and chewy and mixed well with the sauce. Our kid ate it really well — pretty much finished the whole bowl alone 😊 ## Poached-egg octopus rice bowl: why we came back to Bueokgan ![A bowl of nakji junghwa deopbap topped with a poached egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-15-1dpvg-1200.webp) The nakji junghwa deopbap! We came back specifically because we were craving this dish, haha It's a rice bowl topped with octopus and beef brisket stir-fried in a spicy Chinese-style sauce. The chewy octopus paired with the savory beef brisket let us enjoy both textures and flavors at once. ![Spicy sauce with stir-fried octopus and beef brisket over rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-16-7rxlh-900.webp) The sauce was quite spicy, and the savory flavor really came alive once mixed with the rice. The octopus wasn't tough at all, just nicely chewy, and the beef brisket added a rich, savory fattiness that went well with the spicy sauce. Breaking the poached egg over the rice, octopus, and brisket added a soft, creamy richness from the yolk that mellowed out the spice. The spicy seasoning was really addictive. My husband enjoyed it too, saying it was delicious. ## Kkanpung shrimp: trying Bueokgan's version for the first time ![A plate of fried kkanpung shrimp with big prawns](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-17-1eumb-900.webp) Kkanpung shrimp was a first for us~ Big shrimp fried crispy and coated in kkanpung sauce — it looked delicious the moment it arrived. ![Close-up of crispy fried shrimp coated in kkanpung sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-18-1vs6r-900.webp) One bite and you get a crispy outside with a chewy, springy shrimp inside. The kkanpung sauce had a sweet-and-sour taste with a bit of spice that cut through the richness of the fried batter nicely. ## Verdict: which of the three dishes was the most generous ![Table spread of jjajangmyeon, rice bowl, and kkanpung shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice/haeundae-chinese-poached-egg-octopus-rice-19-wvgi8-900.webp) This time we tried a bunch of dishes together, from kkanpung shrimp to jjajangmyeon to the nakji junghwa deopbap. The crispy shrimp with its sweet-spicy sauce was great for perking up the appetite, and the jjajangmyeon mixed with its rich black bean sauce and noodles was a familiar, satisfying taste. The nakji junghwa deopbap, with chewy octopus and savory beef brisket in a spicy Chinese sauce plus the poached egg on top, was the spiciest and richest of the three.
