Yakitori Onjung offers two yakitori course options alongside an extensive à la carte menu in its bright and lively dining hall. The chef grills the skewers over meticulously controlled binchotan charcoal fire for beautifully chewy and juicy yakitori. The clean flavor of native tojongdak chicken, deboned and prepared daily, melds beautifully with the smoky charcoal aroma. After savoring the yakitori with some sake, a comforting bowl of chicken gomtang completes a well-rounded meal. Enjoy a range of whisky and nihonshu with their skewers in the casual setting beyond the brick arch.

You’ll find Cor Pasta Bar on the second floor of a trendy alley in Jeonpo-dong, Busan. The restaurant greets diners with an open kitchen bustling with chefs and a counter seating just over ten guests. Cor Pasta Bar offers a variety of house-made pasta dishes.

Niurou Mian Guanzi is easy to spot with its large yellow signboard. The signature Hongshao Beef Noodles feature soy-braised beef with bok choy and mustard-green pickles, set in a rich, savory broth topped with a drizzle of chili oil. Popular side dishes include crispy Taiwanese-style fried pork chops, or paigu, and hongyou chaoshou, both great accompaniments to the beef noodles. The restaurant limits its daily noodle service to ensure the broth is served at its best. We recommend that you pair a cold Taiwanese beer with this seemingly simple yet flavorful national dish.
