Location and parking ![Exterior of the Asti Hotel building next to Busan Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-01-1dv9a-900.webp) ![2nd-floor entrance of Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-02-1q6oq-900.webp) Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch sits on the 2nd floor of the Asti Hotel building right next to Busan Station. Once you step off the train and out of the station, it's right there — easy even if you're dragging a suitcase. Being able to handle your first meal in Busan right at the station was the biggest advantage! There's no dedicated parking for the restaurant. If you're driving, use the Busan Station Plaza public lot or a nearby private paid lot. Since it's on the 2nd floor right beside Busan Station, it's really best reached by train or Line 1 subway to Busan Station :) ## Waiting time and solo dining at 5pm on a Saturday ![Clean seating inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-03-blw31-900.webp) Maybe because it's a new location, but Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch was really clean! I expected the area in front of Busan Station to be packed on a Saturday at 5pm, but I sat down with no wait at all. It's an awkward hour between lunch and dinner, so table turnover seemed fast :) ![A table well-suited for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-04-1jadi-900.webp) ![A quiet dining room at 5pm on a Saturday](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-05-f7sgv-900.webp) Even going in alone, I ate comfortably with no awkwardness. Since the menu is basically one bowl of soup, the meal doesn't take long, so it's easy to fit in around a train schedule. ![Sign showing business hours and last order time](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-06-4h583-900.webp) That said, last order is at 20:10, so if you're heading out on a night train, just make sure to arrive before 8pm! ![Menu board for pork soup and milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-07-b66mt-900.webp) ![Menu listing sundae gukbap, boiled pork platter, and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-08-10bd7-900.webp) ![Menu and price display board](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-09-g7x53-900.webp) ## Menu and prices: dwaeji gukbap for 10,000 won As the name suggests, the two main pillars of the menu are dwaeji gukbap (pork soup) and milmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). Beyond that, there's sundae gukbap, a boiled pork platter (suyuk baekban), and hand-made dumplings — a good spread of solo-friendly meals. That day I ordered one dwaeji gukbap (₩10,000). Since I was alone, I just ordered the one bowl of soup, but with the side dishes included it was still a complete meal! I also liked that with milmyeon in the shop's name, there's plenty to choose from for a repeat visit. ## How does the dwaeji gukbap taste? Broth and pork ![A spread of basic side dishes including chives and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-10-9ahn7-900.webp) The basic side dishes cover all the essentials — chives, kimchi, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), chili peppers, garlic, onion, and more. ![A plate of kkakdugi, chili peppers, and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-11-1d4z4-900.webp) If you need more side dishes, just ask a staff member. ![A single-portion bowl of dwaeji gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-12-ejw83-900.webp) ![Close-up of the clear broth in the pork soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-13-1jrl9-900.webp) My first spoonful told me the broth was really clean. I expected pork soup to be heavy and rich, but it came through clear with no gamey smell at all. ![A spoonful of dwaeji gukbap loaded with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-14-qjxbf-900.webp) That let me finish the whole bowl without feeling weighed down. And the meat — there was way more than I expected. Nearly every spoonful brought up meat along with the broth, so there was almost no stretch of just sipping broth alone. For a ₩10,000 bowl to carry this much meat, it made for a really filling meal :) ## Who Yeongdong Milmyeon suits best - Train travelers — being on the 2nd floor right next to Busan Station makes it great right after arrival or before departure - Solo diners — the single-portion menu means you can eat comfortably even alone - Anyone traveling around Busan — open year-round with both pork soup and milmyeon available any day of the week ![The finished bowl of pork soup on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-15-18mey-900.webp) ![A full spread of dwaeji gukbap in front of Busan Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday/busan-station-pork-soup-solo-saturday-16-x3nyr-1200.webp) ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does it take to walk from Busan Station?
