Daeyeon-dong gukbap restaurant, lettuce-wrapped pork: Geumsu Dwaeji

Today I'm introducing a restaurant near Kyungsung University~~

Where is Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap in Daeyeon-dong, and when is it open?

Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap Gyeongseong-Pukyongdae Branch is at 12 Suyeong-ro 346beon-gil, Nam-gu, Busan, 1st floor, and it's open daily 09:00–06:00. Last order is 05:30. It's located near Kyungsung University in Busan, so I paid a visit 🥰

This place is special even before you walk in!!

• Unlimited noodle refills
• Unlimited rice refills
• Plus a welcome makgeolli service ❗️

I'm already loving this.. ❤️

Beating the lunch queue by arriving at opening time

I heard there's a wait at lunchtime at Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap Gyeongseong-Pukyongdae Branch, so I did an open run 🏃‍♀️ The inside is spacious with lots of tables!! There's also a clean restroom inside, and aprons are neatly set up along the wall 💙

Each table has a kiosk so ordering is easy ✨️ Sauce and pepper were also neatly prepared 💯 Ah!! And the welcome makgeolli is free, so if you'd like one, just ask ❗️

Here's the menu at Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap!! We ordered the boiled pork set meal~~✌️

While we waited after ordering, they brought out the basic side dishes, neatly and tidily arranged ☺️

Unlimited noodles and rice at the self-serve bar

If you run out of side dishes, you can help yourself as much as you like at the self-serve bar up front 🤍 The self-serve bar with unlimited noodle and rice refills was well set up 👍 And there were plenty of high chairs for babies too~

How does the suyuk baekban taste? Rich broth and thick-cut pork

This is a spot I stop by every time I visit Busan, so of course I visited again this time 😊 Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap Gyeongseong-Pukyongdae Branch, famous near Kyungsung University!! I thought about just getting gukbap (pork soup), but I was really craving meat that day, so I ordered the boiled pork set meal ✌️ The soup caught my eye first with its milky, deeply simmered broth haha. Taking a spoonful, it was clean with no gamey smell and had a deep, savory richness spreading through it 👍💯

Isn't the boiled pork gorgeous 🤩 Sliced to just the right thickness, the texture holds up nicely when you chew ❤️ It had just the right amount of fat — light yet savory, tasting freshly boiled with absolutely no gamey smell. The portion was generous too, and with onion slices laid underneath, the sweetness cut right through any heaviness 💯

It's great with rice mixed in, or slurped up with noodles added ❗️ Especially as you can see in the photo, the generous pile of green onion on top adds a fragrant note that pairs perfectly with the broth 😍 Thanks to that, I could enjoy it refreshingly all the way through without getting heavy~~

Wrapping the pork with onion and green onion, ssamjang and garlic, in lettuce made for a real delicacy ⭐️❗️ Eating the pork soup alongside the boiled pork doubled the satisfaction ✌️✌️

Why Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap suits students and big groups

Geumsu Dwaeji Gukbap Gyeongseong-Pukyongdae Branch is near Kyungsung University and Pukyong National University, so there were a lot of student customers, and the whole place was clean and pleasant ✨️ The tables are spaced generously apart, so it seems great for group visits too~!

• Broth: clean with no gamey smell, deep rich flavor (haven't had gukbap this good in a while) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• Boiled pork: thick-cut and tenderly boiled, a delicacy in wraps
• Set: generous with soup, pork, rice, noodles, and sides

If you're coming to Busan, definitely give this a try. Highly recommend it 👍👍
