A weekday lunch date in Gwangalli with my work-from-home husband
Gwangalli Badangjip is an ocean-view raw fish restaurant in Gwangalli where my husband and I had a weekday lunch date, just the two of us. Because of office facility work and rebuilding issues at his company, he's working from home this winter. So on weekdays when Ttuttu is at school, we can sneak out for a lunchtime date!!^^
We were in Gwangalli, Busan, for an errand anyway, so we took a walk along the beach, had our date, and ate delicious mulhoe at Gwangalli Badangjip, an ocean-view date restaurant.

It's on the 2nd floor right by the road, looking straight out at Gwangalli Beach!! Eating raw fish with Gwangalli Beach right in front of you, the fish must taste even better. I'll show you the view I recommend for an ocean-view date in a moment.^^
An emerald floor interior that flows into the Gwangan Bridge view
The moment you walk into Gwangalli Badangjip, the emerald sea-colored epoxy floor and the Gwangan Bridge outside the window become one. So gorgeous!!!
Sitting by the window and looking inside, there's a sandy shore, and it feels like you're eating afloat on the sea. The interior is so cool!!
The view straight out the window already says it all!! I'd absolutely recommend it as an ocean-view date restaurant in Gwangalli.^^
Gwangalli Badangjip menu: what we ordered
At Gwangalli Badangjip, my husband ordered the squid mulhoe, and I prefer fish mulhoe, so I ordered the flounder mulhoe. A neat little tip: the menu even spells out the best order to eat it in.^^
The mulhoe spread: grilled flounder, somyeon, broth and clam soup
Ta-da~~~ a full table is laid out. Mulhoe while looking at the sea, with Gwangalli Beach and the Gwangan Bridge no less. I bet it would be wonderful at night too!!
The setting is clean and tidy. Nothing superfluous.
Grilled flounder, side dishes, somyeon (thin wheat noodles) that are chewier and nuttier than regular somyeon, more like milmyeon noodles, and the thoughtful touch of serving the mulhoe broth separately so you can add it to taste!!
And this clam soup is so good. It's spicy~ and refreshing~, the kind of soup that feels like a hangover cure even though I hadn't had a drop. It pairs perfectly with the mulhoe.
How does the squid mulhoe at Gwangalli Badangjip taste?
This is the squid mulhoe my husband ordered. There are plenty of mixed vegetables and a good amount of squid. Squid sashimi has its best texture when it's cut super thin, like julienne, and this is exactly that kind of squid.
The basic sauce is already in it, so even mixed as is, the balance is great. Eat it plain for a while, then pour in the broth and it becomes what feels like a whole new dish.
How to eat flounder mulhoe: mixed, as soup, with somyeon, then with rice
This is the flounder mulhoe I ordered. Lots of flounder sashimi, too. This isn't one of those Gwangalli raw fish places that charges you for the view and the seat. The portions are generous, the price is good, and the taste is great too. The ocean-view Gwangalli raw fish restaurant, through and through!!!
As usual, I mix it up and eat it separately with white rice, then pour in the broth and eat it as mulhoe. The broth is cool and tangy without being harsh, so delicious. Then loosen the somyeon in for some chewy carbs too,
and finish by putting the leftover rice in!!! I wonder where you'd find a more perfect course in a single bowl.^^
Why Gwangalli Badangjip is a great ocean-view date restaurant in Gwangalli
Gwangalli Badangjip has a great view, a great beach-like interior, and food that is tidy, clean and generous, with a good price and good taste too, so I can absolutely recommend it as an ocean-view date restaurant in Gwangalli!!! Do visit Gwangalli Badangjip.^^
