Busan BBQ after a Sajik baseball game, with soju slush: Bulmak Yeolsam

I'd just come out of Sajik Baseball Stadium, and after cheering my lungs out I was starving, haha. I searched for a good pork belly place in Sajik-dong, found Bulmak Yeolsam nearby, and headed straight over.

Location and opening hours of Bulmak Yeolsam

Bulmak Yeolsam is open daily 16:00–24:00, with last order at 22:50. It's within walking distance of Sajik Baseball Stadium, so it fits perfectly into a post-game route.

It's also in the area known for its popular market eateries (Gungmin Market), so it's easy to walk to if you live at Sajik KCC Swiss or Sajik Haneulchae Risentia. For parking, use a nearby public lot.

What's the atmosphere like?

Step inside and it doesn't feel like an ordinary grill joint. It feels more like a polished sit-down restaurant. There are four-person tables as standard and several large group tables too, so it works for family dinners or a group gathering after baseball.

The staff were polite and friendly too, so the meal got off to a good start, haha.

Handy tips before you order

• For two people, I strongly recommend the Don Set. It's discounted from the regular price and the lineup is just right.
• The makchang comes pre-grilled, so you only need to cook it a little longer.
• You can make a soju slush with the hammer on the table. After a baseball game on a hot day, this is the killer feature, haha.
• The owner's events can be checked in the Naver announcements.

How were the Don Set and pork skin?

What I ordered this day was the Don Set (2 servings fresh pork belly + 2 servings fresh makchang + doenjang stew + grilling cheese) and pork skin. First, let's learn how to eat it properly~

Once we sat down, the basic spread came out generously: lettuce, perilla leaves, garlic and chili peppers, radish wraps, pickled onions, even corn cheese.

The tofu kimchi was a total pass, in the best way!

Fresh pork belly

The pork belly looks amazing.

The moment the pork belly hits the grill, the sizzling starts, and that sound is already delicious, haha.

It's fresh domestic pork, and you can feel the freshness even before grilling. The 1.4cm thickness is just right, crispy outside and juicy inside, and one bite dipped in a little salt sends richness through your whole body.

There's no gamey smell at all, and when you wrap it in perilla leaf with garlic, your hands move on their own, haha.

Kimchi grilled in the pork belly fat needs no words.

Fresh makchang

The fresh makchang lives up to the Bulmak Yeolsam name.

It comes pre-grilled, so you only need to cook it a bit more, and it's the very definition of crispy outside, chewy inside.

The makchang is so well prepared that there's no odor at all, and I enjoyed it down to the last piece.

Eating a piece of makchang in between pork belly feels like opening up a whole new world, haha.

Grilling cheese and pork skin

You dip the grilling cheese in condensed milk, and I wondered how cheese and condensed milk had never struck me as such a good pairing. My son ate tons of it, so I think it's a hit with kids.

The pork skin has a chewy texture with a smoky char, and it's a truly perfect match with soju.

Chewy and rich, it's a dish I'd recommend you definitely order.

Doenjang stew

The doenjang (soybean paste) stew is included in the set. The broth is clean yet spicy, and if you take a spoonful between bites of meat, a bowl of rice vanishes in no time, haha.

It's packed with ingredients, so the meal ended perfectly. Among Sajik-dong pork belly places, this set lineup and value for money is a definite pass.

Final verdict

I highly recommend Bulmak Yeolsam as a grill restaurant near Sajik Baseball Stadium. It's a route you can walk right after the game, the self-serve bar is well stocked, and the Don Set's value is outstanding. If you're coming to Sajik Stadium, or looking for a good market-area eatery, stop by here. Thanks for the meal!
