I finally visited Salmon Brothers, famous as a go-to Gwangalli spot for salmon, Western food, and sushi! I love salmon in general, and whenever people mention Busan salmon or Busan salmon king-sized sushi, Salmon Brothers in Gwangalli always comes up, so I'd been really curious — and today I finally made it haha.

On the way up I spotted some cute teddy bears! They seem to be the official mascot of Salmon Brothers, the famous Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot, haha.
It was nice being able to check the menu board before even going inside!
Inside Salmon Brothers: seating and atmosphere
Here's the interior of Salmon Brothers, famous as a Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot! The tables are spaced out generously and varied in size, so it works great whether you're coming with a group of friends or on a Gwangalli date!!
The whole space felt very clean and tidy!
Right at the entrance there were tons of cute little props!
Next to the tables there were baskets for bags or outerwear, which was a nice touch~
In the middle of the restaurant, wet wipes, water and paper cups were all set out.
A curling iron and hairspray by the restroom
The restrooms at Salmon Brothers are separated by gender and kept very clean!
Salmon Brothers, famous for salmon, Western food and sushi in Gwangalli, had hairspray, cotton swabs, and even a curling iron set up right by the restroom. Since the sea breeze in Gwangalli is pretty strong, I've had plenty of experience of my hair getting messed up just from hanging out there — having a curling iron and hairspray ready like this was such a nice touch.
What's on the Salmon Brothers menu
This is the menu at Salmon Brothers, famous as a Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot! From sashimi to beef tartare, sushi, salads, salmon steak, pasta, even tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes)!! The menu was really varied, and there were also some special items like the salmon cheese roll, clams steamed in liquor, and mochiri tofu!
True to a spot known for Gwangalli dates and Gwangalli pasta, there was also a wide range of drinks to match the menu!
They were also running a review event!
How the aglio e olio, raw salmon sushi and salmon cheese roll tasted
I ordered aglio e olio, salmon cheese roll, and raw salmon sushi! The aglio e olio came out first. I'm usually not a fan of oil pastas since I find them greasy, but the aglio e olio at Salmon Brothers, the famous Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot, had just the right amount of oil soaked nicely into the noodles, so I ended up really enjoying it!
When I ordered a cola, it came with this adorable bear-shaped ice, aww.
Next up, raw salmon sushi! In the photo it looks like a normal size, but each piece was big enough to fill your mouth! The soy sauce was already applied too!
And the salmon cheese roll! I'd never seen a menu item called salmon cheese roll before coming to Salmon Brothers, the famous Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot! It's salmon wrapped around cream cheese so you enjoy them together!
The food all just looked so good... and it tasted just as good, honestly.
The salmon cheese roll was what I was most curious about since it's such an unexpected combo!! I thought salmon and cream cheese might clash, but since both have such a soft texture, they went together so, so well!!
True to its reputation as the famous Gwangalli salmon/Western food/sushi spot, the salmon sushi was excellent too! The salmon was fresh and really high quality!
