Busan sushi restaurant with tonkotsu ramen: Moshi Moshi Sushi

Looking for somewhere to eat at Lotte Department Store Gwangbok, I ended up at Moshi Moshi Sushi this time.

• ⏰ Hours: Daily 10:30–21:00 (last order 20:10)
• 📍 Address: 10th floor, main building, 2 Jungang-daero, Jung-gu, Busan (64m from Exit 10, Nampo Station)

When eating inside a department store, the menu matters, but honestly who you're eating with quietly changes what options actually work.

Especially when eating with my parents, I tend to look for somewhere clean and easy rather than anything too intense or with an overwhelming atmosphere — and on that front, Moshi Moshi Sushi turned out to be a pretty solid pick for sushi in Lotte Department Store Gwangbok.

What we ordered was tonkotsu ramen, yaki udon, and salmon sushi.

How fresh was the salmon sushi at Moshi Moshi Sushi?

The first thing we ate at Moshi Moshi Sushi was the salmon sushi. Right from the start, the sashimi came out fresh and neatly plated, which I liked. Since we'd come to a sushi restaurant after all, the sushi itself was what I was most looking forward to.

The salmon sushi I had was topped cleanly with the fish, so it looked neat and tidy too. Above all, the sashimi clearly felt fresh, so eating the sushi never felt like a burden.

With sushi, the condition of the sashimi is really what matters. The rice and fish paired cleanly, and before I knew it, piece by piece, the plate was gone haha. I personally like sushi that lets you taste the ingredients themselves comfortably rather than piling on too many flashy toppings, and Moshi Moshi Sushi's overall neat presentation was right up my alley.

So personally, I think this place works fine for friends or couples, but I actually thought it would be even better with parents. Sure enough, when I visited, I saw quite a few older guests there having a meal too.

Tonkotsu ramen and yaki udon alongside the sushi

It felt like a waste to eat only sushi at Moshi Moshi Sushi, so we also ordered tonkotsu ramen and yaki udon. Mixing in noodle and soup dishes made it a genuinely filling meal.

The tonkotsu ramen came with broth, which paired nicely with the sushi. Alternating between sushi and a sip of warm soup made the whole meal feel a lot easier to eat.

You end up walking a lot more than you'd expect while shopping in a department store, so having a warm bowl of ramen on hand was reassuring.

We also ordered yaki udon, and if you're visiting with a group, mixing noodle dishes with sushi like this seems like a good approach. Everyone can eat their own sushi and share the noodle dish, so you get to try a wider variety.

Since we ordered several dishes and shared them, the meal felt much more substantial than if we'd only ordered one thing.

Why Moshi Moshi Sushi works for a meal with parents

Trying it this time, the biggest strength of Moshi Moshi Sushi was a menu lineup that's comfortable to eat no matter who you're with. From familiar sushi like the salmon sushi to full meal options like tonkotsu ramen and yaki udon, choosing something wouldn't be hard even for someone who doesn't eat much sushi.

It seems especially useful for when you're shopping with your parents at the department store and need to grab lunch or dinner.

When you hear 'sushi restaurant,' you might first picture young people on a date, but when I visited, plenty of older guests were there eating too, which made me think it actually works well for a family meal out. And since it's inside the department store, it's convenient to fit into your shopping route before or after eating.

When I'm looking for sushi at Lotte Department Store Gwangbok, what matters most to me is whether the food comes out clean and whether whoever I'm with can eat comfortably too, and on that front this was satisfying. The salmon sushi's sashimi was fresh and neat, and adding the tonkotsu ramen and yaki udon made it more than enough for a full meal.

If you're looking for a sushi restaurant that works well with your parents, a place like this is a quietly convenient choice. If you're shopping at Lotte Department Store Gwangbok and craving a clean meal, Moshi Moshi Sushi — especially if you're after sushi in Lotte Department Store Gwangbok — might be worth checking out.
