Gilchon Sutbul Galbi Seomyeon Main Branch is a Korean barbecue restaurant near Seomyeon Station in Busanjin, Busan. I tried 500g of hand-sliced fresh pork ribs with barley shrimp soybean paste stew, half-and-half naengmyeon, and toasted bread with cheddar. A great-value choice with a clean atmosphere and an unforgettable rib sandwich combo.
Kumano Sushi is a Japanese sushi restaurant in Busanjin, Busan, serving aged fish and seasonal fish. I visited at 1:30 pm on a weekday and tried the 11-piece Kumano Sushi set for ₩20,000; the shari held each grain’s shape yet dissolved softly. Verdict: a sushi meal I finished down to the last piece despite being full.
Rigo Susan Jeonpo Station Main Branch is an aged raw-fish restaurant near Jeonpo Station in Busanjin, Busan. We ordered the small assorted sashimi set for 49,000 won with generous banchan, sushi rice, and Cheongha. Verdict: a pretty, filling spot for sashimi and drinks.
Kats Kimseondo is a donkatsu restaurant in Jeonpo-dong, Busan. I compared the tenderloin and limited gabrie sirloin set meals; both had crisp breading and juicy meat, but the gabrie sirloin felt slightly softer to me. Its calm bar seating suited solo meals or a date, though there is no dedicated parking.
Gilchon Sutbul Galbi Seomyeon Main Branch is a Korean barbecue restaurant in Busanjin, Busan, serving charcoal-grilled fresh and marinated pork ribs. We started with fresh ribs, then moved on to marinated ribs with meljeot, pickles, and grilled potatoes; the inexpensive draft beer and free corkage stood out too. For the full appeal of fresh pork ribs, Gilchon Sutbul Galbi Seomyeon Main Branch is a recommendation.

Kats Gimseondo (카츠김선도) is a donkatsu restaurant between Jeonpo and Seomyeon in Busan. I compared the tenderloin donkatsu set with the Gimseondo set, and liked the tenderloin’s crisp coating, savory sirloin, and fried egg. Counter seats also make it comfortable to dine alone.
Katsu Gimseondo is a tonkatsu restaurant on Seojeon-ro 47beon-gil in Jeonpo-dong, Busan. I compared a pork loin tonkatsu set with the Gimseondo set, and liked the leaner fried dishes, varied textures, and sauce combinations. The Gimseondo set stood out for letting us try pork loin, tenderloin, fried shrimp, and a soft-boiled fried egg together.
Katsu Gimsundo is a tonkatsu restaurant in a Jeonpo alley in Busan. We shared pork loin and tenderloin set meals; the gabi loin was rich and juicy, while the tenderloin was mild and soft. There was no entry wait, but the food took 15–20 minutes, and the signature set was sold out.
Katsu Gimseondo is a tonkatsu restaurant near Jeonpo Station in Busanjin, Busan. I tried the mixed tonkatsu set and gaburi pork loin tonkatsu set at its expanded location, and liked the tender meat and pink salt; the bar, two-person, and four-person seating also looked comfortable for solo diners, though there is no dedicated parking.
