"Tucked deep within the Haeridan-gil area, this establishment stands out with a long line of diners waiting to be seated. This ramen joint in Busan is the first Korean outpost of a restaurant that started during the 1960s in the Nagahama area in Fukuoka, Japan. The ramen is prepared by simmering pig bones for hours until the broth becomes milky and smooth. Combined with a secret homemade soy sauce, the broth tastes rich, but never heavy. You may request your noodles be cooked to your liking, or add raw garlic or a spicy sauce. If you find your new broth a little too salty, feel free to ask for additional broth to savor your dish to the fullest." - Michelin Inspector

Arrived at past 5 on a Wednesday and there were a few seats available. Service is brisk and you’re expected to eat quickly and clear out for other patrons. The broth is really nice and balanced, not too overpowering, while the pork slices were lean and tasty. That said, I admit I was expecting more because of the Michelin mention. Honestly, the cheese dessert they provided (two pieces; I ate one before remembering to snap a photo) was nicer than the ramen imo 😄 I would say it’s worth a visit if you don’t have to queue a silly amount of time.

Popular Michelin bib gourmand ramen restaurant in Busan. Queue for 1hr+ but can have coffee at the various cafes around the area. Noodles is done just right and soup is full of umami. Gyoza is probably the star of the show, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I’ll say worth the wait. 🍜 🥟

I have been to Sapporo before and this ramen from Busan is on par with or even better than Sapporo. Compared to this, all other ramen I had in America tastes like salted trash water. You can't beat East Asia at their own cuisine, it is not possible. Absolutely amazing.

Broth is wholesome and will make your soul smile. Noodles are made to order - crispy or soft are the ranges. The gyoza were also tasty. We went during off-peak hours right after lunch and no waiting. Lunch time and dinner time may experience up to 2-hour waiting.

Absolutely perfect experience! The ramen was delicious, one of the best I tried, including a little dessert. What put the experience to another level was the most helpful and nice staff. Be aware that the waiting time is quite long - in our case ca. 6 hours. You take a number, stroll around the beach/promenade, and when the notification pops, you get to the restaurant. Definitely worth the wait.

Super yummy ramen! Only one kind of ramen and they make it great! Highly recommended! Worth the one hour wait, which is digital so it's convenient!

Ramen like it was meant to be. Served by professionals, by the traditional! You will like the taste. Don’t ever doubt it. The additional menu they offer is excellent (extra chasiu, noodle, boiled egg, etc) Wait time may be a bit longer. But it’s well worth it. For the ladies, restaurant default offers apron and hair band!
