Yangsan Mulgeum couple's date, three dishes for ₩60,000: Bueokgan

On a nice-weather day, I'd rather go out somewhere close and eat something good and take a walk than stay home. This day too, my husband said the weather was too good to waste, so we went out on a date.

Bueokgan at Oslo Park in Mulgeum, Yangsan: interior and parking

It had been a while since we'd had Western food together, so we headed to the Oslo Park branch. Inside, the mood felt good enough for a blind date, and I also thought it would work well for a family visit.

Parking is available in the Oslo Park building, so it was convenient to drive there. Parking is always a low-key worry when going out to eat, but knowing there's a building lot to use put my mind at ease.

I found this Oslo Park branch while searching for good restaurants in the area. When I look for good spots in Yangsan, I prefer places with easy parking and a wide menu range, and here they had everything from pasta to pilaf, so it worked well for the two of us. I think anyone looking for a good Western restaurant in Yangsan would find this a solid date spot too.

Three dishes for two at about ₩60,000

We sat down and picked our menu — we ordered carbonara, seafood tomato pasta, and Kung Pao chicken pilaf. I thought it might be a bit much for two people, but since it had been a while since we'd eaten out, we picked out a variety of dishes we wanted. The total came to about ₩60,000.

Carbonara: thick sauce, springy noodles

We started with the carbonara. It's the dish I'd recommend most out of everything we had that day. The sauce is on the thick side, so it clung well to the noodles, and the noodles themselves had a nice chewy bite — great texture. If you prefer a thick, rich style over a runny cream sauce, this will suit your taste. One bite in, I understood why people search this place out as a good Yangsan restaurant, haha.

Seafood tomato pasta: plump shrimp

Next was the seafood tomato pasta. True to its name, it had quite a lot of seafood in it, which paired well with the tomato sauce. The shrimp especially were plump, and eating them with the pasta noodles made for a great texture combo. My husband, who loves seafood, enjoyed this one a lot too. The tomato sauce wasn't too heavy, so ordering it alongside a cream pasta didn't feel repetitive.

Kung Pao chicken pilaf: the filling rice dish

We also ordered the Kung Pao chicken pilaf. I figured pasta alone might feel a little lacking, so we added a rice dish, and I think that was a good call. The pilaf comes with chicken in it, so it was quite filling, and eating the rice and chicken together made it enough for a full meal on its own. Ordering pasta and pilaf together gave each dish a different feel, which made sharing between the two of us more fun.

Overall, sharing small portions of all three dishes let us enjoy a variety of flavors, which was great. The carbonara was my favorite by far — the combo of thick sauce and chewy noodles stuck with me.

Is Bueokgan a good date spot in Yangsan?

Going out with my husband on a nice-weather day, eating good Western food, and chatting away turned an ordinary meal out into something that felt good. I think a date can just be picking out one good dish and going to eat it together, without having to travel far.

If you're in Yangsan craving pasta or pilaf and looking for a good restaurant near Oslo Park, this place is worth a visit. Building parking made it convenient to come by car, and with such a varied menu, it suited a date like ours just as well as it would a family meal or a get-together with friends.

If you're looking for a good Yangsan restaurant where you can get both pasta and pilaf, this could be a solid choice. It would also suit anyone among the good Western restaurants in Yangsan who wants to order several dishes and split them, haha.

That day we ordered three dishes for about ₩60,000 total and left completely full. If I come back, I'll order the carbonara again without a second thought! It was a good day of eating tasty Western food at this Oslo Park branch, made even better by the nice weather.

The carbonara, with its appealing thick sauce, had noodles and sauce that came together beautifully — we really enjoyed it. It's a great spot to visit when you want Western food for lunch or dinner on a date in Yangsan. If you love pasta like I do, it's worth stopping by, and it was also nice to spend time walking around Oslo Park afterward. If you're looking for a good Western restaurant in Gyeongnam Yangsan, hope this helps, haha.
