Salmon sushi restaurant in Gwangalli, Busan: Saturday lunch at Salmon

The salmon spot in Gwangalli everyone's talking about: Salmon Brothers.

Salmon Brothers hours and parking in Gwangalli

Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri 17:00 - 01:00, Sat/Sun 12:00 - 01:00 (break time 16:00 - 17:00), closed every Tuesday. I parked at Gwangan Sinho Parking Lot!

A super clear, sunny Saturday afternoon! I came to Salmon Brothers in Gwangalli for salmon and pasta ~ It's not right by the Gwangalli beach, but near the always-jammed intersection instead. Might actually be more accessible that way?

A month ago I was in Gwangalli and suddenly craved this place on my way home, so I came alone. But it was so good that this time I came back with someone instead of solo haha

Can you eat alone at Salmon Brothers? The bar table

Craving salmon sushi but no one to go with?? There's a bar table, so solo dining is totally doable. I also had a highball and mango sorbet last time — so, so good..

Proof-of-solo-dining shot lol. Yes, a woman really did eat alone at Salmon Brothers. The owner said to come by for solo dining anytime lol. Anyway !!

Salmon Brothers menu, from salmon sashimi to gambas

The menu has salmon yukhoe (raw seasoned salmon) and flounder combo plates, salmon sashimi, salmon sushi, salmon steak, gambas, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and more — total girls' food ..~~lol. Guys, if you're planning a Gwangalli date course, put this on the list, your crush will love it ^^ Book ahead through Naver.

Is the Salmon Brothers interior good for a date?

The interior is clean and pretty. Come in the evening and the dim lighting sets a nice mood, feels perfect for a date or a blind date.

Salmon Brothers is run by sturdy owners who really love salmon. But the little decor pieces are so cute, and it's kind of adorable that everything comes in threes lolllllll

Shockingly cute salmon plush toy. From far away I thought it was a bear licking something, but looking closer it was actually eating a salmon ... a salmon with a whole body attached lol. No telling how serious these owners are about salmon ~

What two people ordered for weekend lunch

Ordering is done at the kiosk. Since it was lunch, we kept it simple! Half raw salmon / half tataki sushi, aglio e olio, and I also ordered a sangria 7% red wine.

Next time I want to come in the evening for the salmon yukhoe and flounder combo, along with that Salmondeshu !! An in-house sake made just for salmon. That means you can't find it anywhere else.

Oh right, water and wet wipes are self-serve ~~

Whoa, the visuals are insane. Plating perfect for an Instagram feed.

Half raw salmon, half tataki salmon sushi

Look at that sheen. So glossy it practically glistens. The raw salmon sushi here is genuinely thick, big, and plump and delicious .. seasoned just right, so one bite and your mouth just lights up with happiness .. rare gem, honestly.

Thickness on a completely different level from salmon sushi at a regular sushi shop.. I could normally polish off all 6 pieces myself, but since there were two of us today, I shared. I usually like tataki more than raw salmon, but today the raw salmon tasted even better somehow, so I ate two raw ones by myself !!

Sangria 7% red wine at Salmon Brothers

This red wine paired so perfectly with the salmon !! It's made by mixing fruit, fruit juice, and soda water, so it's not heavy at all, just the right amount of sweet. I'd recommend it even to people who don't know wine — you'll enjoy this one. Sneaking in a little ring flex too, hehe

Aglio e olio pasta

My beloved aglio e olio. This salmon place makes great pasta too. The truffle cream and basil pesto both looked good, but since I had cream pasta the day before and my friend had basil pasta, I went with the safe choice of aglio e olio — turned out to be an excellent decision !!

The mushrooms were unbelievably good. Loaded with mushrooms, shrimp, and arugula, all my favorites! I prefer flat noodles over round ones for the texture, so I think I enjoyed it even more.

Sushi plus one pasta for two: was it enough?

A genuinely delicious weekend lunch after a while! For two people, one sushi plate plus one pasta was exactly the right amount, a nice, comfortable full. If you're craving Western food or salmon sushi, I recommend Salmon Brothers. Great for a date with a couple, or a girls' night with friends haha.
