There are branches in Gwangalli and Seomyeon too, but the Nampo Branch is closest to me, so whenever I have plans in Nampo-dong, I usually make them here haha. ## Where is Budan Nampo Branch, and what is it like? Budan Nampo Branch is on the second floor of the Miryang Dwaeji Gukbap building in Bupyeong Jokbal Alley. There are lots of cinemas, shops, and things to do nearby, so it is perfect for killing time before coming by in the evening. It is also close to Jagalchi Station and the Seo-gu Office bus stop, making it easy to reach by public transport. ![Budan Nampo Branch location guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-02-1fr62-900.webp) ![Budan Nampo Branch visit location](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-03-hw66m-900.webp) ![Guide to the area around Budan in Nampo-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-04-153jd-900.webp) Budan, a bar in Nampo-dong, Busan, has dim lighting and a pretty hip vibe overall, so it works well for dates, company dinners, group gatherings, or a second- or third-round drinking spot. ![Hip atmosphere at Budan Nampo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-05-1gr7w-900.webp) ![Date-night atmosphere at Budan Nampo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-06-15u1b-900.webp) The seating is very spacious and can comfortably accommodate up to 100 people. On this day, it looked like a group of around 80–90 had booked, since most of the tables were reserved. There are not many bars this large in Nampo-dong, so if you are looking for a big bar, Budan is the one~! ## What is on the menu at Budan Nampo Branch? ![Budan Nampo Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-07-192hb-900.webp) ![Budan Nampo Branch bar snack menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-08-1bvvq-900.webp) When you come to Budan, a great place to eat in Nampo-dong, Busan, choosing a menu can take forever. There are cheese jjusaewoo, Daemok Maedalgu, corn ppaddak, soups and hot pots—order one thing and suddenly you want another too... The unusual dishes that you cannot try at other bars make the decision even harder. ![Unusual menu items at Budan Nampo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-09-1f0ti-900.webp) After choosing a main snack, I also recommend a side. There are dishes substantial enough to replace a meal, plus refreshing desserts such as bingsu (shaved ice) and sherbet to cleanse your palate. If you are craving something sweet, go for Oreo or green-tea-chocolate bingsu. ![Budan Nampo Branch side menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-10-eprus-900.webp) ![Budan Nampo Branch drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-11-1rhux-900.webp) There are highballs and makgeolli (Korean rice wine) too, besides soju and beer. ## I tried the tomato cheese chicken thighs and Jjapagetti ![Complimentary toast and whipped cream snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-12-z4kfb-900.webp) Budan's complimentary snack is toast with whipped cream. I normally order drinks only after the food comes out, but at Budan, this alone is such a tasty snack that I immediately order a beer and have a drink haha. The crisp toast and sweet whipped cream are a great combination. ![Budan's complimentary toast snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-13-zhxuu-900.webp) ![Toast with whipped cream snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-14-17n7q-900.webp) ### Tomato cheese waterfall boneless chicken thigh grill Tomato cheese waterfall boneless chicken thigh grill (₩30,000). I have been to Budan in Nampo-dong several times, but this was my first time trying this menu, haha. The name alone got my expectations way up, so I ordered it without hesitation~ ![Tomato cheese boneless chicken thigh grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-15-1x6vw-900.webp) ![Cheese waterfall chicken thigh grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-16-vc8mj-900.webp) ![Tomato cheese chicken thigh grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-17-1dukh-900.webp) After letting it cook a little longer on the burner, the cheese started bubbling away~ Inside were thick, boneless whole chicken thighs and rice cakes; at first, I honestly thought the chicken was some kind of pork cutlet haha. Just cut it into easy-to-eat pieces with the scissors and tongs. ![Boneless chicken thigh and rice-cake snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-18-1rh3k-900.webp) The chicken was boneless, so it was easy to eat, and the meat was incredibly tender. Overall, the tomato cheese waterfall boneless chicken thigh grill was moderately spicy, but because it is tomato-sauce based, it also had a slightly sweet-and-tangy flavor. There is cheese underneath too, giving it a rich, nutty taste~ There are also two long rice-cake skewers, and eaten like this, it kind of feels like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), haha. ![Jjapagetti with green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-19-gojga-900.webp) ### Jjapagetti with green-onion kimchi Jjapagetti with green-onion kimchi (₩11,000). This is one of Budan's best sides in Nampo-dong, Busan. Jjapagetti cooked by someone else, spicy and pungent green-onion kimchi, and rich Cheddar cheese—who would not like this? ![Cheddar Jjapagetti with green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-20-1wwpl-900.webp) ![Budan Jjapagetti side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-21-1vc5b-900.webp) ![Jjapagetti served with green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-22-1rn6f-900.webp) ![Jjapagetti with kimchi on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-23-sxjcl-900.webp) At first glance, the portion looks so big that you wonder whether you can finish it, but once you start taking bites, it disappears in no time haha. It is a flavor everyone knows, but somehow it feels special when you eat it at Budan... It is also fresh and delicious with napa cabbage kimchi instead of green-onion kimchi. ![Final bar snack spread at Budan Nampo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti/nampo-budan-cheese-chicken-jjapagetti-24-12pcr-900.webp) Budan in Nampo-dong is great whenever you want a meal and drinks, or just a quick drink, because it has lots of tasty snacks.
