The writer booked a bar table for two and ordered the half-pig set (medium/450g/₩41,000) with earthenware soft tofu stew, premium steamed egg, and sweet rice nurungji soup, and the highlight was dipping the pork into cheese fondue and fish sauce sauces. If you're looking for a grilled-for-you meat restaurant in Seomyeon, book ahead and go to Anmin Busan. ## Good to know - **Location**: 109 Dongcheon-ro, 101·102·103, Busanjin-gu, Busan (walking distance from Seomyeon Station) - **Hours**: Mon-Thu 16:00-24:00 / Fri-Sun 12:00-24:00 - **Order**: Anmin half-pig set, medium (for 2/450g) ₩41,000 - **Sides**: Earthenware soft tofu stew ₩6,000, premium steamed egg ₩3,000, sweet rice nurungji soup ₩3,000, rice ₩1,000 - **Seating**: Regular tables, bar table, private rooms, open kitchen - **Reservation**: Phone reservation recommended (bar table for 2) - **Sauces**: Fish sauce (with bonito flakes), cheese fondue, pine flower salt, salted intestine of hairtail *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* If you're looking for a grilled-for-you meat restaurant in Seomyeon, I recommend Anmin Busan. Actually, I first tried the Anmin brand at their Myeongji branch with my partner last year. It was so good, but Myeongji is hard to get to without a car, which was always a bit of a letdown. Then I heard they opened a huge branch in Seomyeon! Seomyeon is easily reachable by public transit, so this time we made sure to book a reservation and go. ## Anmin Busan is near Seomyeon Station It's located at 109 Dongcheon-ro, 101·102·103, Busanjin-gu, Busan. Seomyeon Station, Seomyeon Youth Street, Seomyeon food alley, and Bujeon Market are all within walking distance, so accessibility is really good. ![Exterior of Anmin Busan near Seomyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-01-merkr-900.webp) Jeonpo Café Street, Lotte Department Store Busan main branch, and Jeon-ri-dan-gil are all within a 5-minute drive, so it's a great stop after playing around in Seomyeon, or a perfect second course for the night! ![Entrance area of Anmin Busan on Dongcheon-ro in Seomyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-02-1hlx6-900.webp) ## Reservation is a must — a bar table for two I really recommend booking ahead here. When we arrived at our reserved time, there were 5 parties waiting, and by the time we finished eating an hour later, it was 8 parties — I almost couldn't believe the wait actually went down haha. ![Waiting area and queue status at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-03-4fhhd-900.webp) ![Interior of Anmin Busan with bar table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-04-uynfo-899.webp) I guess that's proof it's a solid restaurant. If you show up without a reservation, you might get worn down by the wait, so I really recommend calling ahead! Especially for two people, I strongly recommend booking the bar table. Honestly, at first I thought a bar table sounded kind of meh, but it turned out to be even better. The regular tables are sized generously enough for four, so if just two of you sit there, there's this weird distance between you and it feels a bit awkward, like too big a table for two. The bar table, on the other hand, is great for sitting close together, easy for conversation, and much more comfortable for eating. I thought it'd be meh at first, but I ended up thinking I'd book the bar table again next time! If you're a group of four or more, I'd still recommend calling ahead. ## The vibe and the open kitchen As someone who really loves Anmin's atmosphere in general, the Seomyeon branch is much bigger and even has private rooms, which made it even better. The bar table genuinely felt like sitting at a bar, which I loved. I wondered if there's another Korean BBQ place with this kind of stylish atmosphere. The staff were so kind that I didn't feel uncomfortable at any point during the visit. Given how big the restaurant is, the kitchen is genuinely huge too, and it's an open kitchen. Being able to actually see the condition of the meat in real time made it feel even more trustworthy. Since the restaurant itself is so large, it seems like it would be perfect for company dinners or group gatherings in Seomyeon! ## Menu and what we ordered The main dishes center on whole-pig sets. There's a range from the half-pig set for two up to the whole-pig set for three or more. Sides include premium steamed egg, earthenware soft tofu stew, hwang doenjang stew, and sweet rice nurungji soup, plenty to enjoy alongside the meat. They also have soju, beer, and other drinks, making it perfect for a second round too! ![Whole-pig set menu board at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-05-90b75-617.webp) ![Whole-pig set (for one whole pig) menu board at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-06-7e36y-617.webp) ![Side dish menu board at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-07-f8whx-617.webp) ![Meal menu board at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-08-1sz38-617.webp) ![Drinks menu board at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-09-19jdh-617.webp) We ordered the Anmin half-pig set (medium/for 2/450g/₩41,000) along with earthenware soft tofu stew (₩6,000), premium steamed egg (₩3,000), sweet rice nurungji soup (₩3,000), and rice (₩1,000)! ### Anmin half-pig set, medium (for 2/450g/₩41,000) This set includes pork belly, pork neck, and herbal-marinated pork rind. Perfect for a date for two! If there are three or more of you, I'd recommend the whole-pig set instead — it includes specialty cuts so you can enjoy even more variety. The staff grill everything for you. Interestingly, at the bar table, the grilling area is positioned higher than eye level, so it's actually easier to watch the whole process! A staff member personally grills each piece, cuts it into bite-sized pieces, and keeps it warm on the heated plate so nothing gets cold — so convenient. We asked them to grill some garlic alongside the meat too, and they happily obliged, which I really appreciated! Thanks to that, we got to enjoy everything comfortably from start to finish. ![Half-pig set meat grilled and cut by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-10-m1jin-1200.webp) Needless to say, the pork belly and pork neck were delicious. ![Pork belly and pork neck grilled on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-11-19s7h-900.webp) ![Grilled pork neck cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-12-1m9gu-900.webp) Honestly, the pork rind was even better than the last place I tried haha. ![Anmin's herbal-marinated grilled pork rind](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-13-ic0en-900.webp) They apparently use herbal medicine ingredients in the marinade, which I think is why it was so much softer than regular pork rind, with no gamey smell at all. I honestly think this might be the best pork rind restaurant I've been to! ## The sauces are on another level — cheese fondue and fish sauce This is where I got into green onion kimchi. My partner and I both used to think we didn't get what's so great about green onion kimchi, but after trying it first at Myeongji, we concluded that Anmin really nails it. ![Green onion kimchi side dish at Anmin Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-14-1nrn6-900.webp) This time too, I ate it without hesitation and really enjoyed it. Even people who don't like green onion kimchi might change their minds here! The sauce lineup is unusual and distinctive. There's a fish sauce simmered with bonito flakes, and a cheese fondue sauce made with cream and cheese. There's also pine flower salt and salted hairtail intestine. Honestly I wondered what cheese fondue was even doing here, but wow, this was genuinely the highlight haha. ![Fish sauce and cheese fondue sauce set](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-15-3a96g-900.webp) Normally I only eat the meat with pine flower salt and salted hairtail intestine, but this time it was so good that I skipped the salt entirely and only used the cheese fondue and fish sauce. ![Pork dipped into cheese fondue sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-16-1tc2y-900.webp) I even dipped the pork rind into the fish sauce, which says it all haha. It might seem unfamiliar at first, but you really should try it at least once! ## Side dish combinations ### Premium steamed egg (₩3,000) This is a dish you have to order alongside the meat. Not many places make steamed egg as fluffy and soft as this haha. ![Anmin's premium steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-17-15sbg-900.webp) It's made so well that I found myself wondering how steamed egg could be this soft and fluffy. At ₩3,000, the portion is generous, and it tastes even better eaten together with the meat. I strongly recommend ordering the steamed egg whenever you visit Anmin! ### Earthenware soft tofu stew (₩6,000) Last time I had the hwang doenjang stew, and true to its name, a whole hwang crab went in, giving the stew a really strong crab flavor. This time we ordered the earthenware soft tofu stew (₩6,000). ![A bowl of earthenware soft tofu stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-18-1xtod-900.webp) It felt almost like kimchi jjigae with soft tofu instead of firm tofu, and since the meat quality here is so good, the pieces of pork in the stew were noticeably large and clearly good quality too. ![Large pieces of pork inside the soft tofu stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-19-mdx4e-900.webp) The broth was rich and deep — perfect to eat between bites of grilled meat! ![Rich broth of the earthenware soft tofu stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-20-uyfgq-900.webp) This place is a soft tofu stew must-try, so I recommend ordering it alongside the meat. ![Table spread with soft tofu stew and grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-21-19ofk-900.webp) Just a heads up — rice doesn't automatically come with the stew! My partner ordered rice (₩1,000) separately. ![Rice ordered separately](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-22-f8shg-900.webp) ### Sweet rice nurungji soup (₩3,000) Instead of rice, I ordered the sweet rice nurungji soup (₩3,000). ![A bowl of sweet rice nurungji soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-23-rnf52-900.webp) They say it works well as a starter or drinking snack, but I think it's the perfect way to cleanse your palate after all that grilled meat. ![Sweet rice nurungji soup eaten as a finish after the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces-24-xyv0o-900.webp) It's nutty and clean, and eating it as a finish after the meat feels really refreshing. Definitely ordering this again next time! ## Overall thoughts The Myeongji branch was so good, but it was frustrating without a car, so I'm really glad they opened a big branch in Seomyeon. The Seomyeon location is spacious and doesn't require a car, so next time I'd love to bring my parents. Getting into green onion kimchi, the surprise of the cheese fondue sauce, and the herbal pork rind — Anmin reminded me all over again how good it is. If you're looking for a grilled-for-you meat restaurant in Seomyeon, I strongly recommend Anmin Busan! ## Good to know before you go - Reservation is basically essential: there were 5 waiting parties when we arrived, and 8 when we left. - For two people, the bar table is recommended — good for conversation, and the grilling area is right at eye level. - Staff grill, cut, and keep the meat warm for you. They'll happily grill extra garlic if you ask. - For two people, order the half-pig set, medium (450g/₩41,000); for three or more, go for the whole-pig set (includes specialty cuts). - The side combo of premium steamed egg, earthenware soft tofu stew, and sweet rice nurungji soup worked really well. - Rice doesn't come automatically with the stew (rice is ₩1,000 extra). ## Restaurant info - Anmin Busan / 109 Dongcheon-ro, 101·102·103, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - Mon-Thu 16:00-24:00, Fri-Sun 12:00-24:00 - Phone reservation recommended ## Where it is - Anmin Busan (안민 부산) - 109 Dongcheon-ro, 101·102·103, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 동천로 109 101, 102, 103호 - 35.1585024, 129.0620292 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EB%AF%BC%20%EB%B6%80%EC%82%B0/@35.1585024,129.0620292,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menu-margin-places/anmin-busan-seomyeon-pork-grill-sauces/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
