About
Busan wheat noodles in cold five-day pheasant broth, with chewy noodles and self-serve warm broth and radish kimchi.
The broth at this old-school noodle house is made from pheasant and cooked for five days in a cauldron. In a bowl of mul milmyeon (물밀면), it arrives cold, with a clean, deep savor and an herbal note; the chewy wheat noodles give it something to push back against. Some diners compare the broth to the restrained flavor of Pyongyang-style naengmyeon. It is the dish to order if you want to taste what sets this Busan specialty apart, rather than just chase heat or sweetness. Bibim milmyeon (비빔밀면) trades the broth for a sweet-sour sauce: refreshing, with a chewy bite. Vinegar and mustard are on hand to tune the bowl; add them gradually. Mul milmyeon, bibim milmyeon and the spicy version are each ₩8,000. For a side, leaf-shaped steamed dumplings (잎새만두) cost ₩6,000 and have a moist meat-and-vegetable filling, though reviews are divided on them. Warm broth and radish kimchi are self-serve. The room has a quiet, traditional feel, and the restaurant is described as a second-generation business with more than 30 years behind it. It is near Busan Station, making it an easy meal before or after a train. Opening hours are listed daily from 10:30 to 18:30; lunch can bring a queue, though some visits are quick. Order on the tablet at your table or at a kiosk, then help yourself to broth and kimchi. Reports mention card or cash payment, but not bank transfer. There is no parking at the restaurant; nearby street parking or paid lots are the alternatives. This suits anyone curious about Busan’s cold noodles, including families and travelers passing through the station. Keep expectations flexible: broth seasoning varies between visits, and the noodles can come across as especially firm. If you prefer a softer, more predictable bowl, this may not be the one to plan your day around.
