Two-person Japanese set meal lunch with mandu sides in Busan

Daidokoro Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch is a Japanese set meal and curry restaurant on the 10th floor food court of Lotte Department Store Gwangbok, connected to Nampo Station in Jung-gu, Busan. Two diners ordered a karaage set and a tonkatsu curry set, then added mandu (fried shrimp dumplings), fried shrimp, and blue lemon ade to share — even with overlapping fried dishes, the textures were different enough that it never felt repetitive. Worth trying when you want set meals over sushi, picking one set plus one curry to split.
