Assorted sashimi set for ₩40,000 at Sintongyeong Gul Gukbap, Suyeong

Sintongyeong Gul Gukbap is a neighborhood seafood restaurant in Suyeong, Busan, near Paldo Market and 15 minutes by bus from Gwangalli. Visiting during gizzard shad season but finding it sold out, the writer ordered the small assorted sashimi set (₩40,000) instead, which arrived with four kinds of fish — flounder, needlefish, brown sole and longtooth grouper — plus 11 side dishes and free spicy fish stew. It's a filling amount for a couple, and a solid value pick near Gwangalli.

Lamb skewers with cumin powder and spicy corn noodles: Yangbokjeom

Yangbokjeom Dongdaegu Station Branch is a charcoal lamb skewer restaurant a 10-minute walk from Dongdaegu Station in Dong-gu, Daegu. The writer, who usually struggles with lamb's gamey smell, paired wang-yangkkochi and yangdeungsim skewers with chili, cumin, and curry powder, plus spicy corn noodles and beer, and found the meat completely free of odor. A great pick for lamb skewer beginners and couples looking for a memorable dinner.
