Busan Seomyeon late-night bar with a yukhoe platter: Bidangusul
In short
Bidangusul Seomyeon is a Korean bar in the Buheongi Sanjang bar alley in Seomyeon, Busan, where the anju (drinking snacks) arrive as one big sharing platter. The yukhoe (beef tartare) platter brought 1++ Korean beef tartare, doenjang rice porridge, tuna mayo rice, whelk salad, fried dried filefish and fruit — more than two people could finish — alongside yuzu makgeolli and soju. Bidangusul Seomyeon stays open until 5am even on weekdays, so rounds one through three happen at the same table.

The heart of Busan! I visited Bidangusul, a bar in Seomyeon where you get a generous sharing platter of anju (drinking snacks). Bidangusul has 2 locations in Seoul and 1 in Busan.

Even in Seomyeon, a lot of places close early on weekdays, but this one stays open until sunrise 👍
It's in the Buheongi Sanjang bar alley. A friend raved about a 🐶must-visit spot in Seomyeon with great makgeolli, so I came to check it out. Clean, upscale Korean pocha (street bar) vibe from the outside!!
Inside Bidangusul Seomyeon: pearls on the ceiling, silk walls, sofa seating
The interior at Bidangusul Seomyeon was reeeally pretty 🔮 True to the name 'Bidangusul' (silk pearl), there are pearls on the ceiling and silk 🩵 on the walls. The spacious interior has partitions for private drinking, and as someone who prefers sofas over chairs, I was happy there was plenty of sofa seating.
Every detail of the interior is so pretty ㅜㅜ I drank while just staring at it.
They even have fans and chargers at the table!
The banner said soju for ₩100! How could you not walk in after seeing that? It runs through September, so go quickly!!! 🙏 (first soju order ₩100)
The basic snack they give is a cracker I'd never seen before. Tastes like Pos-tick crackers. Weirdly addictive, I kept reaching for more^^
What's on the menu at Bidangusul Seomyeon?
Bidangusul Seomyeon's menu is reeeally long, right? The signature dishes are the jeon (savory pancake) platter, yukhoe platter, and suyuk (boiled pork) platter (+ silbi kimchi).
- <Signature> Jeon platter / Yukhoe platter / Suyuk platter (+ silbi kimchi)
- <Also available> Yukhoe, jeon, soups, suyuk, pasta & makguksu, stir-fries, chicken & fried dishes, desserts, sides, etc.
I love how huge the menu is 🩵 Anything another bar sells, they've got it here!!!! You can do rounds one, two and three all in one place.
<Drinks> Gusul makgeolli, makgeolli highballs, highballs, traditional liquors, and more… the drink list is endless too 🩵 So what we ordered was: yukhoe platter + yuzu makgeolli + soju.
The yukhoe platter: more than two people can finish
A jaw-dropping, overwhelming platter 😲 It's too much for two people to finish. Every dish was plated so neatly it was honestly moving 😍
Yuzu makgeolli served with pearls floating in it
They make pearls to float in the yuzu makgeolli 🫧
Such gorgeous pearls 🫧✨ So pretty ㅜㅜ Bring your girlfriend and she'll rave about it. A subtle yuzu aroma, goes down so easily.
How to eat the 1++ Korean beef yukhoe
Today's star: yukhoe. Made with 1++ (two-plus grade) Korean beef. Look at that color, ha… soft yet chewy. Dip it in the egg yolk and you lose your mind 🙄
Okay. Pull yourself together and follow along!! Put yukhoe on a piece of gim (seaweed), wrap in crisp pear and wasabi — that combo is unbeatable 🩵🩵
Doenjang rice porridge and tuna mayo rice
<Doenjang rice porridge> You choose one of makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) or doenjang rice porridge. When you're drinking, a spicy soup is a must! It's basically rice too, and makes a great anju. Loaded with tofu 🧡, loaded with meat 🧡, loaded with zucchini 🧡. So much meat it tasted like chadolbagi (thin-sliced beef brisket) doenjang jjigae? ㅜㅜ (ugh… I want it again) The meat chunks were huge and juicy 🤤
<Tuna mayo rice(?)> I'm starting to forget if this is a restaurant or a bar 😂 You could eat just this and be happy ˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑
Whelk salad, fried dried filefish and fruit
<Whelk salad> A tangy, spicy, addictive whelk (golbaengi) salad. Eating it with minari (water dropwort) adds an aromatic kick that makes it even more savory… (slurp 😋) They also have tofu kimchi and 'Bburing' potato and chicken balls!! (I forgot to take photos, oops)
<Fried dried filefish> Crispy, crunchy, kept reaching for more. (I can't believe there's dried seafood on this platter too, amazing.) Dip in the sriracha mayo(?) sauce plus ketchup sauce 👍
<Fruit> A whopping four kinds of fruit. (Look at those colors.) A nice palate cleanser to finish.
Who should go to Bidangusul Seomyeon?
Bidangusul Seomyeon felt like dining at an upscale Korean restaurant. The charm is being able to try so many dishes, almost like a tasting course 👍
- ✔️ Recommended if you're looking for a Seomyeon bar with a different vibe
- ✔️ Recommended if you want to impress a date or your friends
Winter's coming soon, so instead of bar-hopping in the cold, enjoy rounds one through three all in one spot 🧡
