It's right in front of the station so it's super easy to get to by public transit, and the prices are kind enough while still leaving you full. With 'udon' in the name it's easy to picture only hot udon, but the menu is actually really varied — cold buckwheat noodles perfect for summer, tonkatsu, set meals, and combo menus too. ![Exterior of Misikga-ui Udon Daeyeon Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-01-1par1-900.webp) ![Entrance of the Japanese restaurant in front of Daeyeon Station Exit 6](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-02-y013u-900.webp) ![Signboard of Misikga-ui Udon Daeyeon Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-03-1bq7r-900.webp) ## Where is Misikga-ui Udon Daeyeon Direct Branch, and what are the hours?

Just looking at it cools you down. ![Entrance with a sign for the summer seasonal cold buckwheat noodles and kongguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-04-18rpy-900.webp) ![Entrance with a Japanese-style atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-05-65p6k-900.webp) ## Is Misikga-ui Udon comfortable for solo diners? I came in for lunch near Daeyeon Station and the interior was spacious. The tables have decent spacing and there's a bar table too, so eating alone here doesn't feel awkward at all. It's a great space for families, friends, or dates. Overall it's clean and the staff were friendly, which made the meal even more pleasant. There are also tables with backed chairs.

For ₩14,500 you get to eat a variety of dishes, which is great. And I added a croquette on top! If you want to try lots of things at once, the Jumbo Set is highly recommended — such good value. Salad first to settle the stomach~~~ Then a bite of the buckwheat noodles, then mixing up the curry rice well for another bite! Eating it alternately with the tonkatsu worked really well. The inside of the croquette is so soft ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ it just melts in your mouth, melts~! It comes freshly fried, and dipping it into the sauce made it even more delicious. ![Potato croquette dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-18-c4bm4-900.webp) ### How does the tonkatsu taste? The tonkatsu is fried crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, served with whole grain mustard and wasabi to pair with it. Dipping it in the tonkatsu sauce is great too. The meat is really substantial, isn't it? haha. No gamey smell, just a clean-tasting tonkatsu. ![Tonkatsu served with whole grain mustard and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-19-16jy7-900.webp) The meat isn't tough at all, it's tender, so it feels just right even for kids to eat. A flavor everyone would like. ![Cross-section of the thickly fried tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-20-tdi8c-900.webp) ![A piece of tonkatsu with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-21-1x2tw-900.webp) I ate it all up cleanly. The portion is substantial, so you really fill up. I get why this is famous as a lunch spot near Daeyeon Station. Who knew there were this many delicious menu items beyond just the udon at this Daeyeon-dong restaurant. ![Empty plates at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-22-15cwf-900.webp) ![A generous portion of buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-23-hz1lj-900.webp) ### Cold buckwheat noodles for summer Today's star! It was so hot I was really craving buckwheat noodles. The portion comes really generous, and the broth is genuinely rich and delicious. The noodles are cooked just right too — dunk them into the broth and dig in heartily. Slurp slurp, I finished it in no time. So delicious ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Buckwheat noodles really are the way to go in summer. A menu that suits the hot season perfectly. ![Chopsticks dipping noodles into the buckwheat broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set-24-5p7qz-900.webp) ### Unlimited egg curry rice refills The curry is rich too, topped with egg — mix it well and take a big bite! You can get refills too, so eat heartily ^^ Try topping the tonkatsu with curry as well haha. Curry tonkatsu, complete. Great prices and great taste make this an easy recommendation for a lunch meetup near Daeyeon Station. Next time I'll have to come back at dinner to properly enjoy the izakaya atmosphere. Finished it off with a takeout coffee! ## Where it is - Misikga-ui Udon Daeyeon Direct Branch (미식가의 우동 대연직영점) - 227 Suyeong-ro, 1st floor, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 남구 수영로 227 1층 - 35.1352732, 129.0914818 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%B8%EC%8B%9D%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%98%20%EC%9A%B0%EB%8F%99%20%EB%8C%80%EC%97%B0%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@35.1352732,129.0914818,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@saltwater-lunches/daeyeon-station-izakaya-lunch-jumbo-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
