Weekday fish cutlet and ₩8,000 udon, Busan Station: Dal and Sixpence

Where is Dal and Sixpence near Busan Station, and where can you park?

Gyeongyangsik (Western-style retro diner) Dal and Sixpence Main Branch is an old-style gyeongyangsik restaurant on the ground floor of a building halfway between Busan Station and Choryang Station. It already has a local reputation for its crispy batter, so I went to try it.

There's no dedicated parking lot, but if you use the Baegyang or Cheonu parking lots right next to the restaurant, they support ₩1,000 of the parking fee (for parties of 2 or more). You can also use a nearby public lot.

Dal and Sixpence opening hours: is there a break time?

Dal and Sixpence is open daily from 10:40 to 20:00, with last order at 19:40. I liked that there's no break time.

I went on a weekday around 4:50 PM. Only one table was occupied when I walked in, but customers kept coming while I waited for my food. The place is clean and has plenty of seats, so it would work well for a group lunch too.

The open kitchen made me trust the place even more. When I was there, they were cleaning the kitchen sink and all around. Seeing how cleanly they keep things after so many years in business, you can feel the experience.

I heard it won the restaurant category of the Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation in both 2025 and 2026, so my expectations were already sky-high.

Does Dal and Sixpence do takeout or delivery?

Naver takeout orders are available, and they seem to be on Baemin (a delivery app) too. Being a long-running local favorite and still doing both delivery and dine-in is impressive. With takeout or Baemin, you can enjoy tasty gyeongyangsik at home too.

Such a thoughtful touch: disposable aprons are provided on the side of the shop. If you worry about splatters on your clothes, feel free to use one.

You order easily on your phone by scanning the QR code on the table, and if you leave a Naver receipt review, you can get a coffee coupon too.

What's on the Dal and Sixpence menu?

There's a wide range of cutlets: the classic gyeongyangsik pork cutlet that most people order, a spicy cutlet for those who like heat, cheese cutlet, sweet potato cheese cutlet, and a whole-fillet fish cutlet. To go with them there's memil soba (buckwheat noodles) and Sanuki udon. I liked having so many choices to suit the season and your taste. Extra rice, sauce and soup can be added too.

Self-serve udon broth and old-school cream soup at Dal and Sixpence

The udon broth is self-serve. Take as much as you like from the side of the kitchen.

The broth bowl had a little seasoning set in portions, and it's a real treat. The spicy kick and nutty tempura bits add depth to the broth. I liked being able to slurp some warm broth before the food arrived.

They also bring cream soup when you sit down, and it's been ages since I had cream soup, haha. The taste is exactly that old gyeongyangsik soup flavor! I love pepper, so I sprinkled some on, and it was nutty and savory.

While waiting, I saw the cold soba looked good too, haha. I thought, next time I'll get the cold soba. The soba set comes with half a cutlet and soba. The set composition and price are decent, so it seems like a good choice if you want to try both.

How good is the fish cutlet at Dal and Sixpence?

We ordered the fish cutlet and udon. An acquaintance who has lived in this neighborhood for a long time told me the fish cutlet here is really good.

The fish cutlet comes with rice, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), the cutlet, vegetable salad and macaroni. The fish is really big and long, so I thought it was great value.

Wow... can you see how thin the batter is and how thick and moist the fish is? There's zero fishy smell, nothing dry about it, and it's thick. Even with tartar sauce poured over the moist fish cutlet, the batter stays crispy... The batter here is really crispy and thin, and even the fried part alone without sauce is well seasoned and nutty, so I bet anything you order would be delicious. There's a reason it has such a reputation.

₩8,000 udon and homemade-tasting kkakdugi (radish kimchi)

The udon is ₩8,000 and comes with fish cake, scallions, seasoning paste and udon noodles. For ₩8,000, this look is really good value. The noodles are springy and pleasantly chewy, the broth is clean, and the fish cake seems to be good quality, since it barely got soggy and tasted great.

The kkakdugi was especially good, and it seems they make it themselves? Like what you get at a good noodle shop, slightly sweet, freshly made so it's crunchy, with the natural flavor of the radish. You can feel they pay close attention to every side dish served to customers.

It was so good I practically did the dishes myself, haha. If you're looking for a tasty, good-value gyeongyangsik restaurant near Choryang Station or Busan Station, I recommend Dal and Sixpence.
