Sushi restaurant in Geumjeong, Busan: udon lunch platter, Moshi Moshi

I returned to Moshi Moshi PNU Branch (모시모시 부산대점) for a sushi lunch near Pusan National University. This time, I ordered the “Better Things” sushi platter, which lets you try several varieties, along with my favorite salmon and flounder sushi and assorted tempura.

Where is it, and is there a weekday lunch wait?

Moshi Moshi PNU Branch is at 271-5 Geumgang-ro in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, near NC Department Store. I went at weekday lunch, and the restaurant was busy, with people waiting. I also had to wait a little for the food to arrive that day.

I could check the menu at the entrance in advance. There were many choices for adults and children, and after being shown to a table, I ordered on a tablet.

The original post lists the hours as 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with last orders at 9:00 PM. Break time is from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. It also says temporary parking is available in front of the restaurant.

What do you get with the “Better Things” sushi platter?

I ordered one “Better Things” sushi platter, one salmon + flounder sushi set, and one assorted tempura. The sushi platter had long, generously sized slices of raw fish on top, with a varied selection of sushi.

The sushi platter was in the low ₩20,000 range. The sushi came neatly arranged with salad, udon, tempura, and tofu, which made it a satisfying complete meal.

Of the sides, the creamy tofu stood out most to me. It was smooth and easy to eat, and it also felt gentle on my stomach.

The udon contained tempura crumbs, mushrooms, scallions, and yubu (seasoned fried tofu). It came in a regular udon bowl rather than as a small side, with enough volume to feel like a serving on its own.

The sushi selection included flounder, salmon, tuna, abalone, marinated shrimp, and eel. I chose this platter because I wanted to try each of several ingredients, and it matched that expectation well.

I also enjoyed the eel sushi. The sushi platter was a good choice when I wanted both several kinds of sushi and side dishes.

How many pieces are in the salmon + flounder sushi set?

The salmon + flounder sushi set had 10 pieces total. I ordered it separately because I like both salmon and flounder, and I especially liked the chewy texture of the flounder.

The sushi platter let me try several varieties, while the salmon + flounder set gave me more of the sushi I particularly like. Ordering both made the meal feel varied and reasonably priced.

Both the salmon and flounder tasted fresh, and the flounder’s springy texture stayed with me as I chewed it.

How was the extra order of assorted tempura?

After the sushi, I had the assorted tempura. It included several types, such as squid, kabocha squash, shrimp, and croquette, and it was in the ₩10,000 range.

The batter was crisp and savory. It did not feel overly oily, and it was nice dipped in the sauce served alongside it. Adding tempura to the sushi made for a substantial lunch.
