Seomyeon braised ribs with adjustable spice: Sinchon Yangpuni
In short
Sinchon Yangpuni Seomyeon Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Busanjin, Busan specializing in yangpuni braised pork back ribs where diners choose their own spice level. A self-described spice wimp ordered level 2 and found it hotter than Shin Ramyun, closer to cheese buldak, while the seafood potato pancake that comes free with a Naver Reservation stayed crispiest when dipped straight into the rib sauce. If heat is a worry, Sinchon Yangpuni is best started at level 1 and adjusted mid-meal.

Menu and how to choose your spice level
The menu at Sinchon Yangpuni Seomyeon Main Branch centers on yangpuni braised ribs. There's a good variety of toppings for the braised ribs, like octopus and aged kimchi, plus side dishes like seafood potato pancake and steamed egg!
The braised ribs come with adjustable spice levels 🌶️ I'm a total spice wimp, but I confidently thought, "Spicier than Shin Ramyun? I can handle that!" and ordered level 2 🤣
Where Sinchon Yangpuni is in Seomyeon and what the restaurant feels like
Walk down the alley next to Chopilsalgui and you'll find Sinchon Yangpuni Seomyeon Main Branch, a braised ribs favorite in Seomyeon 🍖 There are big signs in multiple spots, so it's easy to find even on a first visit 👀
There's a Tabling kiosk set up at the entrance, and there's a separate annex too — it seems they sometimes seat you there instead. We sat in the main building!
Every table has notes on Sinchon Yangpuni's secret sauce recipe and how to best enjoy the seafood potato pancake 👀
Ordering is done right through the table's QR code! No need to flag down staff separately, which made things easy — nice haha
Yangpuni braised ribs (2 servings) / pour-over cheese / seafood potato pancake / fried rice
The basic banchan were soup, corn salad, perilla leaves, soy-pickled onion, acorn jelly salad, and a special mayo sauce. A clean lineup with just what's needed!
Seafood potato pancake: dip it in mayo sauce or the rib sauce?
The seafood potato pancake arrived first! It looked more like a fritter than a typical pancake, and the staff sliced it up neatly like a pizza for easy eating!
Following the table's tip for the best way to eat it, I dipped it straight into the sauce as soon as it arrived! Crispy, almost like a potato version of vegetable tempura? Way tastier than expected... 😋 But honestly, dipping it deep into the braised rib sauce was even better 🔥 The spicy rib sauce and crispy potato pancake combo was a perfect match!
Yangpuni braised ribs with pour-on cheese
Finally, the yangpuni braised ribs and pour-over cheese arrived! At Sinchon Yangpuni Seomyeon Main Branch, a braised ribs favorite in Seomyeon, the staff debone all the ribs and cut them into bite-sized pieces for you.
The well-cooked ribs just slide right off the bone 🍖 It's great that they do all the prep so you can eat easily! Then they pour cheese all over it! 🧀🧀🧀
Can you see how the cheese stretches? Spicy braised ribs + savory cheese combo — no words needed... it's just good 🥹
I tried it exactly as instructed! Perilla leaf + short rib + pickled onion + mayo sauce = 🤍 The pickled onion and mayo sauce tame the spiciness of the short ribs nicely! 🍖🍖🍖
How spicy is level 2 for a spice wimp?
I dug into the short ribs along with the cheese topping 😮 We ordered level 2, and just like the description said, it was spicier than Shin Ramyun 🥵 Kind of like the spiciness of cheese buldak!
If you're a spice wimp, I'd recommend starting at level 1 and adjusting as you eat haha (they say you can adjust the spice level later too!)
Ending the meal with fried rice
Last but not least, the essential K-dessert: fried rice 🍚 The staff stir-fried the leftover rib sauce with rice, and their knife-and-spatula skills were seriously impressive 👏🏻
Doesn't it already look delicious...? 😋
Eating braised ribs and then finishing with fried rice is the perfect ending! Skipping the fried rice is basically like never having eaten the braised ribs at all 😗
