Cafés, restaurants and places in Gyeongnam, written by bloggers who went there.
Holstaco Yulha (홀스타코 율하) is a taco restaurant on Gwandong-ro in Gimhae, where I returned with my parents. We enjoyed the crisp, juicy Camarón shrimp taco and shared a filling chili burrito; the Mac Taco was also a satisfying first try.
Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo, Changwon Yongwon Branch is a grilled fish restaurant on Yongjae-ro in Jinhae-gu, Changwon. I visited with my husband and baby, ordering imyeonsu set, spicy pork set, and marinated raw crab; the mild fish, self-serve side dishes, clean dining room, and considerate service left us satisfied.
Jjimgoeul Gajwa Branch is a seafood restaurant on Gaeyang-ro in Jinju, Gyeongnam, where I tried boneless agujjim (spicy braised monkfish). The tender, springy monkfish and generous crunchy bean sprouts worked well with the spicy, savory sauce and separately ordered rice, and the boneless serving made it easy to eat.
Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap (명인돼지국밥) is a Korean restaurant on the way to Bukmyeon Hot Springs in Changwon, with dedicated parking in front. I ordered suyuk baekban for ₩13,000 per person and liked the tender pork, clean broth, and savory gangdoenjang. The dining room is spacious, but it gets busy at lunch and may have a wait on weekends.
Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu is a Korean restaurant by Yulhacheon Park in Jangyu, Gimhae, serving dongjuk clam kalguksu, clam soup, and seafood pajeon. Dongjuk clam kalguksu costs ₩9,000, clam soup ₩12,000, and seafood pajeon ₩15,000. Verdict: a repeat-worthy stop before a walk in the park.
Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch is a Korean restaurant near Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan, Gyeongnam. We shared chicken kalguksu and chewy dumplings with our child, with a half chicken, rich perilla broth, and helpful baby amenities. A filling family meal worth bookmarking after a Tongdosa outing.
Holstaco Yulha is a Mexican restaurant on Gwandong-ro in Gimhae, where I had a taco set, chili burrito, and Holsnack. The tacos paired juicy meat with crisp vegetables, though too much sauce was salty; half the burrito was filling.
Jinhae Jang Bone Kalguksu, Yangsan Branch is a Korean restaurant near Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital in Mulgeum-eup, Yangsan. I had sweetly seasoned grilled bones and spicy boneless bone kalguksu; the tender meat, springy noodles, and spicy broth worked well together. The spacious, tidy dining room and self-serve side-dish station were convenient.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Changwon, Gyeongnam, where I received dark root coloring for gray coverage and a shoulder-length layered cut. My gray hairs were covered evenly and the ends looked tidier; I also found the scalp irritation milder and did not notice a strong dye smell.
Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap is a Korean restaurant near Buk-myeon Hot Springs in Changwon, where I had Sunday lunch with my mother and husband. The clean, rich pork soup and generous boiled pork set meal satisfied us, and the spacious parking and tables suited a family meal.
Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu is a Korean restaurant in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, serving dongjuk clam kalguksu and seafood pajeon. My family enjoyed two servings of noodles, thoughtful kid-friendly tableware, and a generous seafood pancake while traveling. A happy choice for a family noodle meal with kids.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Seongsan-gu, Changwon. Three years after giving birth, I received a layered cut, A. Yoon Chae Repair Clinic treatment, and Objet perm through sponsorship; the 3½-hour visit left me with natural C-curls and smoother-looking hair, though the parking support was shorter than the service.
