At an important meeting meal, I tried the two-person Subyeon Hansang course, from abalone porridge and side dishes to wild-caught assorted sashimi, spicy fish stew, and four finishing dishes. Verdict: a generous spread for a family gathering or formal family introduction. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–22:30 - **Location**: Near Millak Beach, 6th floor of Marine Rich - **Order**: Subyeon Hansang for 2 - **Seating**: Spacious interior with many tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* I made a day trip to Gwangalli, Busan for an important meeting~ Since I was treating someone to a meal, I was looking for a good Gwangalli restaurant. And when you think of Gwangalli, you think sashimi, right? I searched hard for a sashimi restaurant with great banchan (Korean side dishes), then heard there was one with Blue Ribbon badges, so I went! It was Geumrang Hoetjip Gwangalli Main Branch~ It also looked great for a Gwangalli gathering or a formal family introduction in Busan~ ![Signature dishes in the Gwangalli Subyeon Hansang spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-01-pygtf-1200.webp) > Geumrang Hoetjip Gwangalli Main Branch > SUN - SAT 11:30 ~ 22:30 It is near Millak Beach, so it is perfect for a stroll along the shore after eating, too. ## The atmosphere at Geumrang Hoetjip on the sixth floor in Millak-dong Geumrang Hoetjip is on the Millak-dong side~ There were lots of sashimi restaurants gathered around there. Take the elevator up to the sixth floor! ![Directions to Geumrang Hoetjip on the sixth floor of Marine Rich](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-02-vwc5v-900.webp) The framed awards and stickers caught my eye the moment I entered, haha. You could immediately tell it was a Gwangalli favorite. ![Blue Ribbon markers at the Geumrang Hoetjip entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-03-1i9a8-900.webp) *A Blue Ribbon restaurant in Busan* Can you see the Blue Ribbons?? Not just one, but several!!! It really is a Gwangalli local favorite~ ![Interior wall decor at Geumrang Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-04-1b48n-900.webp) ![Celebrity signatures on the wall at Geumrang Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-05-13a5j-900.webp) The walls were packed with celebrity signatures, and it honestly looked as though there were even more but no room left to hang them, hahaha. The dining room is huge, too~!! With so many tables, it is ideal for a Gwangalli group gathering. I visited at weekday lunch, so it was quiet, but I heard it fills up with guests on weekends and in the evenings~ ## Ordering the Subyeon Hansang for two ![Geumrang Hoetjip full-course set and assorted sashimi menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-06-1k17w-900.webp) Along with the full-course sets, the menu has assorted sashimi and lunch specials! Geumrang Hoetjip is famous as a Gwangalli local favorite for its incredibly generous full-course table setting, so it would be lovely to bring your parents here, too~ > Order > Subyeon Hansang for 2 ![Two-person Subyeon Hansang table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-07-5xwxg-900.webp) A sashimi restaurant meal has to start with abalone porridge! It was rich, nutty, and delicious. ![Abalone porridge and buckwheat-noodle mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-08-1qex4-900.webp) Mulhoe (chilled spicy raw-fish soup) came out too, and interestingly, it had buckwheat noodles~ They had a different texture from thin wheat noodles and paired so well with the mulhoe. There was also a huge platter of assorted seafood!!! The parboiled octopus was tender, not chewy at all~!!! ![Assorted seafood including parboiled octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-09-wnjai-900.webp) ![Steamed shrimp, sea squirts, and sea cucumber](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-10-1bkvq-900.webp) There were steamed shrimp, sea squirts, gaebul (spoon worms), octopus with wasabi, and sea cucumber. Everything was incredibly fresh, with none of that fishy taste~ That alone called for a bottle of soju... but it was daytime, so I held back ㅠㅠ haha. ![Chopped live octopus and steamed abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-11-1sx0u-900.webp) ![Seafood dishes in the Subyeon Hansang course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-12-ujc5a-900.webp) ![Salmon dish served with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-13-lkyvc-900.webp) Chopped live octopus, steamed abalone, and a salmon dish came out as well. The octopus was so fresh it was really moving around.... The steamed abalone was tender, and the salmon dish was tasty with its sauce. So many side dishes already, right? But there is more—woohoo! ![Large soy-marinated shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-14-kb2g2-900.webp) ![Bubbling corn cheese side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-15-11awk-900.webp) The soy-marinated shrimp were seriously huge!!! They were not too salty, with a gentle sweetness that was delicious. The corn cheese, an essential at a sashimi restaurant, arrived bubbling away and was such a treat, haha. ![Cheese-grilled scallops, kimchi pancake, and steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-16-moc5a-900.webp) ![Side dishes that children may enjoy](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-17-hhtki-900.webp) Cheese-grilled scallops, kimchi pancakes, and steamed egg came out too, and I thought kids would enjoy these~!! Sashimi restaurants often do not have much for children, but Geumrang Hoetjip has lots of foods kids would like, so it seems perfect for a family gathering!! ![Generous Subyeon Hansang side-dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-18-j5tri-900.webp) ## Wild-caught assorted sashimi after the side dishes The side dishes are truly plentiful, right??? Now I understood why it has Blue Ribbons. Full marks for the presentation and selection first of all 👍👍 ![Refillable wild-caught assorted sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-19-l9rle-900.webp) *A sashimi restaurant with refills—Geumrang Hoetjip is the best* After we had been eating away, the wild-caught assorted sashimi arrived!!! There was such a wide variety~ And get this: you can get a refill!!!! ![Wild-caught assorted sashimi labeled by fish type](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-20-35oht-900.webp) ![Thickly sliced wild-caught sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-21-1mknw-900.webp) ![Assorted sashimi eaten with konowata](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-22-ekiva-900.webp) Each fish was labeled, which made it easy to know what I was eating. Knowing the fish made its flavor stand out even more! The slices were very thick, and perhaps because it was wild-caught, the savory depth was so good~!!!! Ahh, this is somewhere I would want to return to when looking for a sashimi restaurant in Busan. Geumrang Hoetjip's prized konowata (salted sea cucumber innards) came with it too~ Dipping the sashimi in it gave it such wonderful depth of flavor. ## All the way through spicy fish stew and finishing dishes Just as we were nearly done with the sashimi, the maeuntang (spicy fish stew) came out, haha. Even for two people, it was such a generous pot... Spicy and refreshing, it cleansed the palate~ ![Spicy maeuntang fish stew table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-23-16y8k-900.webp) ![Fish dishes, fried corn, and albap finishing dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang/gwangalli-seafood-family-meal-geumrang-24-1r067-900.webp) Along with the spicy fish stew, no fewer than four dishes came out as the finishing meal!! What is this level of generosity... There were even two fish dishes, plus fried corn and albap (rice topped with fish roe)!!! The albap had so much flying-fish roe, hahaha. ## Final thoughts on a Gwangalli family gathering feast Geumrang Hoetjip Gwangalli Main Branch made me understand why it is a Gwangalli local favorite, with its generous portions and excellent flavors!!
