Busan Station restaurant for gukbap and dumplings for two: Yeongdong

The moment my girlfriend and I got off at Busan Station, we wanted hot pork soup, so we headed to Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch, a well-known pork soup (dwaeji gukbap) and milmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle) spot near the station. It's about a 5-minute walk from Busan Station Exit 6, making it a great stop right when you arrive or right before you head out on a trip.

Where is Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch, and what are its hours?

Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch is at 210, 211-ho, 7-8 Jungang-daero 214beon-gil, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea, and is open daily from 10:00 to 20:30, with last order at 20:10.

The sign is clean and easy to spot, and since the restaurant is on the 2nd floor, we could just take the escalator up from the ground floor — very convenient.

Inside Yeongdong: seating and whether solo diners are comfortable

The interior was overall wood-toned, bright, and comfortable. With seating from single tables up to tables for four, it's a good spot for solo diners, dates, friend groups, or family gatherings alike.

Once seated, a water cup, dadegi (spicy seasoning paste), and salt were already set out, and aprons were placed at intervals along the tables for anyone who wants one.

The noodles are made in-house and the sauce is homemade too, so you can taste Yeongdong Milmyeon's own signature milmyeon.

There is a restroom inside the building, but it's small, so there's a sign recommending you use the restroom inside Busan Station instead.
