# Busan Station noodle restaurant for a daytime beer lunch: Yeongdong - By Yerin Bae (https://superchart.com/en/@seodaemun-narrow-porch/) - Written Sep 16, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Dong-gu, Busan - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seodaemun-narrow-porch/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seodaemun-narrow-porch/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/index.md) ## In short Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap is a milmyeon (chewy wheat-and-buckwheat noodle) and dwaeji gukbap (pork soup) restaurant a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Busan Station in Dong-gu, Busan. Straight off the KTX, a couple made Yeongdong their first meal in Busan, ordering bibim milmyeon (small) at 8,000 won, sundae gukbap at 10,000 won and 10 dumplings at 7,000 won with a bottle of Terra beer for a daytime drink. Even a diner whose first milmyeon was a letdown found Yeongdong's slightly snappy noodles worth rewriting that memory. ## Good to know - **Address**: 12 Jungang-daero 209beon-gil, Dong-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 10:00 - 20:30 (last order 20:10) - **Parking**: Not available (nearby Chinatown public parking lot recommended) - **Getting there**: 3-minute walk (144 m) from Exit 7 of Busan Station - **Bibim milmyeon (small)**: 8,000 won - **Sundae gukbap**: 10,000 won - **Dumplings (10 pieces)**: 7,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Signature photo of Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap near Busan Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-01-1os8k-1200.webp) Yeongdong Milmyeon is a milmyeon (chewy buckwheat noodle) and dwaeji gukbap (pork bone soup) restaurant just a 5-minute walk from Busan Station KTX! Their bibim milmyeon (small) is 8,000 won, sundae gukbap is 10,000 won, and dumplings come 10 for 7,000 won. Let me give you an honest review of Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap, which kicked off our Busan trip :) > Address: 12 Jungang-daero 209beon-gil, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea / Hours: 10:00 - 20:30 (last order 20:10) / Parking: Not available (nearby Chinatown public parking lot recommended) / Transit: 3-minute walk (144m) from Exit 7 of Busan Station The moment we got off the KTX at Busan Station we were starving and debating what to eat, when my husband said, come to Busan, you've got to have milmyeon and gukbap! But my first milmyeon experience had been a flop, so I hadn't touched it since — trying again felt weirdly intimidating. Still, after a storm of searching I found what looked like a genuinely great milmyeon spot and we headed to Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap. ![Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap, our first meal of the Busan trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-02-ahb48-757.webp) Would it actually work out this time!?! ## How to walk from Busan Station to Yeongdong, and what the restaurant is like Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap sits across from Busan Station, just a 3-minute walk (144m) from Exit 7, so it was really easy to find even while dragging our suitcases. We got there around 11:30am on a weekday and the dining room was already about half full. ![Exterior of Yeongdong Milmyeon across from Busan Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-03-1k8b2-836.webp) Located a 5-minute walk across from Busan Station, Yeongdong Milmyeon was really easy to find. ![Sign at the entrance of Yeongdong Milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-04-1xm6z-900.webp) ![The walk from Busan Station to Yeongdong Milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-05-1z01t-900.webp) If you're tight on time before a train, there's apparently a new branch inside Busan Station itself, so that might be a good option too! ![Interior view of the Yeongdong Milmyeon dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-06-166vo-900.webp) ![Wall covered in celebrity autographs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-07-ho2si-791.webp) Walking in, we saw celebrity autographs covering the walls. It really felt like a proper local favorite — around 11:30 it was half full, but by past noon, even on a weekday, it was nearly packed! ![Clean, renovated dining hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-08-1kmay-752.webp) ![Basic side dishes including diced radish kimchi and cabbage kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-09-140q6-800.webp) ![Chives and other side dishes set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-10-n46bu-849.webp) It looked like they'd remodeled — the interior was really clean and pleasant, and they gave us a generous spread of side dishes too: diced radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, chives, and more. ## What we ordered at Yeongdong and what it cost ![Yeongdong Milmyeon's menu and price board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-11-1fcyl-900.webp) ![Tablet ordering screen on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-12-16otr-900.webp) On this day, what we ordered was: - Bibim milmyeon (small) ₩8,000 - Sundae gukbap ₩10,000 - Dumplings (10 pcs) ₩7,000 Plus a Terra beer and a Coke! ![Terra beer and Coke ordered for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-13-1evfy-870.webp) Day drinking starting at lunch? That's what a trip's for — a daytime beer :) ![Table spread served with the daytime beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-14-1smws-900.webp) ![Table condiments including vinegar and mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-15-1ujpc-900.webp) ![Chili paste (dadaegi) and salted shrimp on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-16-almpf-900.webp) Every table had vinegar, mustard, chili paste (dadaegi), salted shrimp, and pepper, so we could adjust the flavor to our own taste. ![The sundae gukbap served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-17-1cb17-900.webp) ## Sundae gukbap and 10 dumplings: Busan-sized portions Yeongdong's sundae gukbap at 10,000 won had rich broth with no fishy or gamey taste even without adding chili paste. The dumplings came 10 to an order for 7,000 won, plenty for the two of us. The sundae gukbap arrived first, and we wanted to taste it plain before adding any dadaegi! ![Pork in the rich broth of the sundae gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-18-oq761-900.webp) The pork had absolutely no gamey taste and the broth was rich and delicious. ![Sundae gukbap spiced up with added dadaegi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-19-159tz-900.webp) Later I stirred in a bit of dadaegi for a spicier kick, and that gave it a whole different charm too>< ![Sundae (blood sausage) dipped in ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-20-11buo-900.webp) ![Warm dumplings served 10 to a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-21-158mf-900.webp) The dumplings came out a whopping 10 pieces. In Seoul you usually get about 6 with an order — the generous Busan portions,,, 👍🏻 Eating the warm dumplings alongside the sundae gukbap was really filling. The sundae (blood sausage) in the gukbap was also great dipped in ssamjang, savory and chewy. ## Is the sweet-and-spicy bibim milmyeon worth it? The noodles won me over Yeongdong's bibim milmyeon (small) is 8,000 won, and the sauce was sweet yet spicier than I expected. The noodles weren't chewy like jjolmyeon, but had a slightly snappy texture like buckwheat noodles. ![Bibim milmyeon (small) in its sweet and spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-22-1b674-900.webp) Next the bibim milmyeon arrived, and the sauce was genuinely delicious. Sweet yet spicier than expected — a well-balanced combination, I'd say. The noodles weren't overly chewy like jjolmyeon, but had a slightly snappy texture like buckwheat noodles — I love this kind of noodle, so I was very satisfied. ![Bibim milmyeon noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal-23-nk5ni-900.webp) I have a memory of eating jjolmyeon on a solo trip to Busan once that was so chewy it was a bit disappointing. This time, Yeongdong's noodles matched my taste perfectly, letting me rewrite my memory of milmyeon into a good one. ## A first meal in Busan that worked — what to try at Yeongdong next Choosing Yeongdong Milmyeon as our first meal after arriving at Busan Station turned out to be a great call! Being able to order easily via tablet was a nice touch, and since there's now a Busan Station branch too, it's a good option when you're pressed for train time! If you're in Busan, make sure to stop by :) ## Where it is - Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap (영동밀면&돼지국밥) - 12 Jungang-daero 209beon-gil, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 동구 중앙대로209번길 12 - 35.1162354, 129.0393203 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%81%EB%8F%99%EB%B0%80%EB%A9%B4%26%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%EA%B5%AD%EB%B0%A5/@35.1162354,129.0393203,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seodaemun-narrow-porch/yeongdong-milmyeon-busan-station-first-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
