There was a Western restaurant I had been keeping an eye on, so I finally paid it a visit. This is Bueokgan Haeundae Branch. The first floor is Bueokgan's Chinese restaurant, while the second floor is the Western restaurant at the Haeundae branch. ## Three differently themed dining rooms Once you enter, the dining area is divided into three distinct themes. ![Dining room divided into three themes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-03-18yaa-1200.webp) The first is a wood-toned room, the second a green-toned room, and the third—where the most guests were seated—was a yellow-toned room. If you want to look toward the kitchen, the green-toned section would be a good choice. For groups or gatherings, I think the wood-toned section works well, and for a blind date or couples, the yellow-toned section would be lovely. It is by the windows, so the sunlight comes in beautifully there ^_^ ![Couple Dish Set ordering guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-04-1rn3e-966.webp) ## Ordering the Couple Dish Set We ordered the Bueokgan Couple Dish Set. We chose the pumpkin soup first, upgraded to the grilled mushroom salad (+₩4,000), upgraded to carbonara (+₩1,000), and upgraded to basil Margherita (+₩2,000). For drinks, we had grapefruit juice and orange juice. The most impressive thing (because I am an oldie, haha)!!!! I pointed my camera at the Wi-Fi sign and it connected immediately—so nice ^_____________^ Our shop has it stuck on the tables, but I want to change it to this!! ![Wi-Fi instructions for connecting with a camera](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-05-qv2j6-966.webp) ![Wi-Fi instructions for connecting with a camera](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-06-crqds-966.webp) ![Wi-Fi instructions for connecting with a camera](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-07-13hq5-966.webp) ![Wi-Fi instructions for connecting with a camera](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-08-1g2sg-966.webp) ## Menu and prices There are plenty of other menu items too, so I hope this helps as a reference.

Ah... I am still thinking about it ㅠㅠ This really seemed like such a great appetizer. It was so delicious that I wanted to run into the kitchen and beg them to teach me how to make it. I love sweet things, and it was just sweet enough, warm, and had an amaaaazing consistency. ![Warm pumpkin soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-11-1hd1s-966.webp) ![Warm pumpkin soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-12-yzgfo-966.webp) ![Warm pumpkin soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-13-1z13r-966.webp) ## Grilled mushroom salad and carbonara After the pumpkin soup, the dishes you ordered come out one by one. The grilled mushroom salad had sooo many mushrooms, with their distinctive flavor beautifully intact. They were grilled just right too—no burnt taste or anything—and it was excellent. The carbonara also had a really nice consistency. Even though I am a total tomato-pasta person, I kept reaching for this one. ![Grilled mushroom salad and carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-14-1xll2-966.webp) ![Grilled mushroom salad and carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-15-1bhvo-966.webp) ![Grilled mushroom salad and carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-16-1kibw-966.webp) What I looooved most about the carbonara was the thick bacon. These days, every restaurant seems to use sliced bacon, and honestly it can feel like it is only there to tick off the ingredients, but this place seemed to use proper thick-cut bacon (as far as I know, that is how you get a flavor true to the basics). Can you see the bacon????? ![Carbonara with thick bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-17-e54oe-966.webp) ![Carbonara with thick bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-18-9x3ov-966.webp) ## Basil Margherita and amenities The basil Margherita also had that classic Margherita feel. It was baked so well, and the flavor filled my mouth beautifully. I did not get a photo of the Tabasco sauce, but they gave us jalapeño Tabasco too (that made an impression as well). Having drinks after the rich food felt like an absolutely perfect pairing???? There is also a wine cellar on one side, so it would be nice to come for a glass of wine around year-end or in the evening. They also sell glasses of house wine on the menu. For those with little ones, high chairs and children's tableware are available, so you can come comfortably.^______^ ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-19-1msbg-966.webp) ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-20-o5irz-966.webp) ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-21-15i8x-966.webp) ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-22-1f5o9-966.webp) ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-23-4w7ie-966.webp) ![Wine cellar and child-friendly amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan-24-3o22u-966.webp) Once again, I do not know quite how to put into words the inspiration this space gave me, but it was modern and neatly arranged, and it was fun being able to choose among the three concepts. Oh, and the staff were very kind. How should I put it—they seemed proud to work in this space? There was an ease in every tone and gesture, so we could enjoy a relaxed meal. Looking at it from a small-business owner's perspective, those details stood out to me. Parking is available too, so I definitely recommend paying it a visit. ## Where it is - Bueokgan Haeundae Branch (부엌간 해운대점) - 200 Dalmaji-gil 117beon-na-gil, 2nd floor, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 해운대구 달맞이길117번나길 200 2층) - 부산광역시 해운대구 달맞이길117번나길 200 2층 - 35.1646074, 129.1838097 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%ED%95%B4%EC%9A%B4%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%90/@35.1646074,129.1838097,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@namcheon-receipts/haeundae-carbonara-pumpkin-soup-bueokgan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
