Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch is a longtime milmyeon restaurant in Nam-gu, Ulsan. I ordered extra-large mul milmyeon, bibim milmyeon, and dumplings, with rich hot broth and one-hour parking near the terminal. A satisfying stop for cold noodles and chewy dumplings in Ulsan.
Baekho Tteokbang is a rice cake shop in Nam-gu, Ulsan, serving pumpkin injeolmi and sweet pumpkin sikhye. On a late Saturday afternoon, only three packs remained, but I brought home one pack each of Baekho Tteok and Heukho Tteok for my family.

Benetto (베네또) is a sandwich café across from Ulsan City Hall in Nam-gu, Ulsan. I tried the jambon (ham) sandwich on hearth-baked bread, the Mexican beef grilled sandwich, and peach iced tea. The jambon was relatively mild, but I preferred the warm Mexican beef with its cheese and sauce.
