4.9 / 5.0(844 reviews)

I’m a Japanese traveler, and I happened to find this restaurant on my way to the cable car. It was my first time visiting, and I’m so glad I did! First of all, the staff were incredibly kind. I don’t speak any Korean, but they communicated warmly and clearly in simple English, which made me feel very welcome. The atmosphere was also wonderful. The interior is stylish and cozy, with classical music playing in the background all the time. As a music university graduate, I really loved that detail—it made the experience even more special for me. And of course, the food was absolutely delicious! The menu has Japanese translations, so it was easy to understand. Their main dish is cutlet, but with unique and creative twists that you can’t find in Japan. It was fresh, fun, and full of flavor. The soup and salad that came with the meal were also truly delicious, with a gentle and comforting taste. The soup and kimchi are self-serve, which is a nice touch, and I even received some fruit for dessert! It was the perfect way to relax on the last day of my trip. If I ever come back to Busan, I’ll definitely visit again. I highly recommend this place to anyone reading this. Thank you to all the staff for giving me such a wonderful memory! the portion is very big one, we only ordered 3 main dishes for 4 of us, 2 adults n 2 kids and we still cant finish them. there are also miso soup and banchan. I don't quite like fried food but i found the pork cutlet is best when eaten with the miso soup so it is good they also provide miso soup. Uncle owner is very nice, friendly and attentive, offering to take pics of all of us when the food is served on the table, he also understands basic english. we really appreciate uncle's kind attention. toilet is very clean also. when we left, uncle gave a small treats for the kids. it's the best service we ever had when we were in korea. we wish all the best for the restaurant. lovely restaurant near Songdo Beach! Had no plan to eat here but ended up having a very good experience. I ordered kimchi pork katsu, and love it! they served it with rice, hash brown, salad, pickled pineapple, and self-service banchan. The owner(s) were very friendly, I ate alone and he offered to take pics of me. Would go back again If I visited Busan in the future🥰🫶

I highly recommend this place. Everything is delicious: juicy cutlets with interesting combinations, well-cooked rice and a delicious sauce, inexpensive, and friendly staff. Spicy dishes are specifically mentioned. The menu is in Chinese, English, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. Orders include several dishes, and you can also order radish and kimchi for self-service. Drinks include soda, beer, and water.

We ate here our first night in Busan after seeing they offered a vegan menu, as my partner is vegetarian. We were immediately greeted and seated and the service was excellent. I ordered the bulgogi and pork cutlet, which was delicious and the soup and salad that came with the meal were also very good. The staff running the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend eating here while in Busan.
