The food is very authentic and very delicious. We got yook hwe, gamja tang, and sulnong tang, it really hit the spot. They also give you plenty of side dishes and the staff was friendly and attentive! We were originally going to get their lunch menu but we're told they don't serve the lunch menu that day (Saturday), but I can't wait to come back and try it!

Came with a group of six after church. We all ordered a couple of dishes to share. The dishes that really stood out for me were the spicy tofu soup, japchae, seafood pancake, and the bibimbop. The prices were very reasonable for all the items (came to a total of seventeen dollars for each person) for 6-7 items, and about two rounds of banchan and tea refills!

A Korean yakiniku restaurant run by a married couple. A characteristic of Korean Yakiniku is that there are quite a few small plates served with the meat, more so than at Cheong Ga, which is popular in this area. As a Japanese person, they also have beef tongue and yukhoe, which is nice, but the beef tongue doesn't come with lemon juice.
Do you have cut lemons in your kitchen? I asked about it, but they said it wasn't there.
The owner may not seem friendly at first glance, but when you're eating, he'll smile and talk to you in simple Japanese.
It's a small restaurant, so it's more suitable for families on holidays than for large groups.

Very sweet owner, food was wonderful. We had the Bibimbap, Dumpling Soup, and the Bibim Naengmyeon. Try the dumpling soup, they’re handmade and the broth was delicious.

Got "doobu jigae" which is spicy tofu soup, it was good. The place was small, had average service but the wait for the food was around 30 minutes (which felt like forever, especially if you're short on time). The prices felt expensive for one person, perhaps if you share. ?

Ordered from the Lunch Specials. Great flavor without overpowering with seasoning.Kalbitang was very beefy and meat is very soft.Soondubu has a lot of tofu and flavorful without overdoing spiciness.

I have tried a few things here but my go to is the Dolsot Bibimbap, always great and satisfying. The side dishes are always to my liking, they vary from visit to visit, and that is ok with me. Prices have come up but are reasonable. I am often the only or one of the few customers who does not speak Korean there. It is not a fancy restaurant so prepare your expectations for a more relaxed, casual, almost street food style, dining experience.

Loved my experience at Pusan. I'm always looking for authentic food spots that serve food with fresh ingredients. I recommend the Bibimbap and the dumplings which was one of the best I've ever had. We bought the steamed dumplings which was packed with thinly sliced vegetables and meat.I also liked the fank soup which is on the spicier side. You could add steamed rice to it to make a hearty filling bowl.I was a little disappointed with the bulgogi. It wasn't grilled and lacked flavor and spices. I've had better bulgogi! The pork kimchi Bokum was also just an average dish and more on the sweeter side.Overall, a fun place to visit for some simple home cooked Korean food.
