On a hot September afternoon, two friends shared mackerel gondeure rice, pollack yukhoe mulhoe (chilled raw fish soup), and grilled deodeok with mushrooms, then poured a bowl of rice into the leftover mulhoe broth and finished everything. Hyangtaek is a good pick in Jeonpo-dong when you want a filling meal that is never harsh or overly spicy. ## Good to know - **Name**: Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch - **Address**: 1F, 42-1 Seojeon-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:00 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Last order**: 15:00 and 19:30 - **Takeout and delivery**: Available - **Parking**: No on-site parking; private paid lot at a shopping building 1 minute on foot (driver pays) - **Signature dishes**: Mackerel gondeure (thistle) rice, eggplant doenjang rice bowl - **Dishes ordered**: Mackerel gondeure rice, pollack yukhoe mulhoe, grilled deodeok with mushrooms - **Event**: Join the Naver receipt review event for a free mushroom plate *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch's mackerel gondeure rice full spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-01-1bpy1-900.webp) I've been trying to eat healthier lately, so while looking for a good place to eat in Jeonpo-dong, Busan, I found this gondeure rice (thistle rice) Korean restaurant — and went to check it out! ![Exterior of Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch on the main road in Jeonpo-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-02-2pxaj-900.webp) ## Where is Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch, and what are its hours?

Walking into a place that feels clean and pleasant already puts me in a good mood before the food even arrives haha. ![Clean interior seating at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-05-1igi5-900.webp) ![Warm-toned interior of Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-06-1yrzc-531.webp) ## Three dishes split between two friends Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch's signature dishes are mackerel gondeure rice and eggplant doenjang rice bowl. After a lot of back-and-forth over which to get, my friend and I ordered like this instead: - ✔️ Mackerel gondeure rice - ✔️ Pollack yukhoe mulhoe (raw pollack in cold spicy broth) - ✔️ Grilled deodeok (mountain roots) with mushrooms The menu was varied enough that I wanted to come back and try something new each time! ![Menu board at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-07-qnpy1-900.webp) ![Receipt review event and takeout info sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-08-1f0p5-900.webp) 🍯 If you leave a Naver receipt review, they give you a plate of mushrooms, so if you like mushroom dishes it's worth joining in 🐶! Hyangtaek also does takeout and delivery — I liked how the packaging looked like a neat little lunchbox too!👍 ![Table set with chopsticks, cups, and water](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-09-17tv8-900.webp) On the table were spoons and chopsticks, cups, water, and tissues! ![Instructions for how to best enjoy the dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-10-12vnn-900.webp) While waiting for the food, I checked out the tips for eating it the best way. ![Neatly arranged full table setting at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-11-1stsy-1200.webp) Everything was served in order, and the table filled up neatly, dish by dish!! (Love that they give you gopchang gim — seasoned laver strips — too!) ![Side dishes including gopchang gim (seasoned laver)](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-12-1ou1f-900.webp) ## Pollack yukhoe mulhoe: the right dish for September heat It's September, but the afternoons are still hot, so my friend ordered the cold pollack yukhoe mulhoe at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch! ![Pollack yukhoe mulhoe piled high with raw pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-13-sqkxe-900.webp) So much raw pollack piled on top!👍 The pollack yukhoe mulhoe looked refreshing just to see, and it was tangy and savory, loaded with plenty of raw pollack in the broth — loved it!😋 Summer's winding down, but this is exactly the dish for a hot day when you've lost your appetite!! Mixed it up nicely, swish swish— ![Mixing the pollack yukhoe mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-14-qe665-900.webp) ![Pollack yukhoe mulhoe fully mixed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-15-1n91y-900.webp) and slurped it up nice and cool. ![A spoonful of the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-16-970hm-900.webp) Rice came on the side too, so we finished by pouring it right into the broth! (It'd feel wrong not to.) Eating the rice on top made it so satisfying — we were completely full! ![Finishing with rice poured into the mulhoe broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-17-1tpom-900.webp) ## How was the signature mackerel gondeure rice? You can't skip the signature dish at Hyangtaek Jeonpo Branch, mackerel gondeure rice! It came piled high with thick mackerel and gondeure greens. ![Mackerel gondeure rice topped with thick mackerel and thistle greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-18-1nk6d-900.webp) The mackerel was boneless, so I could just mash it up easily and mix it into the rice! Being boneless made it really easy to eat. ![Mashing the boneless mackerel into the gondeure rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-19-tcv78-900.webp) ![Mackerel gondeure rice mixed with seasoned soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-20-1n1b4-900.webp) ![A bite of mackerel gondeure rice wrapped in gim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-21-169iu-900.webp) First bite plain, then mixed with the seasoned soy sauce, then wrapped in gim (seaweed sheet), then topped with grilled deodeok! The mackerel had zero fishy taste, which I loved, and it paired really well with the gondeure aroma! The seasoned soy sauce that came with it wasn't salty at all, so it was easy to add generously while mixing — really tasty!!😋 ![Smoky grilled deodeok with mushrooms side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-22-1ypdw-900.webp) ### The side order: grilled deodeok with mushrooms I really love grilled deodeok, so I was already happy it was on the side menu, and the smoky, sweet-spicy flavor went great with the rice. ![Empty bowl of mackerel gondeure rice scraped clean](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch-23-1f3y6-900.webp) Scraped the bowl clean~! Munch munch😋 Both the mulhoe and the mackerel gondeure rice were generous portions, so after finishing we felt really full!🍚 ## Who should eat at Hyangtaek in Jeonpo-dong? I felt Hyangtaek is a great place to visit when you want a healthy, hearty meal instead of something heavily seasoned!😊 Maybe because it's gondeure rice, but I didn't feel weighed down afterward — just satisfyingly full. Visiting with a friend and ordering one dish each to share meant we got to try several things, which made it even better haha. Picking a restaurant in Jeonpo-dong can be surprisingly tricky, but Hyangtaek has enough variety that you can choose whatever suits your taste!👍 Next time I want to try the eggplant doenjang rice bowl, so I've quietly saved it on my revisit list! If you're looking for a healthy, filling Korean meal in Jeonpo-dong, give Hyangtaek a try~! ## 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/@haeundae-late-skewer/hyangtaek-jeonpo-mulhoe-rice-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
