Located right by Seomyeon Station in Busan! This popular restaurant offers incredibly cheap handmade kalguksu and jajangmyeon starting from just 3,500 won. The chewy homemade noodles and rich broth are exquisite, and it's open from 7 am, making it a great option for breakfast as well.
Hello. We are a super cheap kalguksu (noodle soup) specialty restaurant popular with locals, located in Bujeon Market, one of Korea's largest traditional markets in Seomyeon, the heart of Busan, and lined with gourmet tours and popular restaurants offering great value.

You'll be amazed by how cheap the menu is at this restaurant. Kalguksu, jajangmyeon, and dumplings are all just 3,500 won! Ordering two set menus makes it even cheaper, and they'll adjust the portion sizes so you can easily enjoy two different dishes even if you're dining alone.
Jajangmyeon from Yongja Noodle Shop
Instead of the round, smooth noodles typically found in Chinese restaurants, this restaurant uses its own unique flat, rustic kalguksu noodles. The noodles are thick and simple, giving a satisfying feeling of fullness when you put them in your mouth, and you can enjoy the texture that fills your mouth. The noodles themselves have a handmade feel, and are both firm and soft.
Considering the price, it's packed with ingredients, and the onions and meat have a satisfying chewiness, evoking a nostalgic feeling of home cooking. Depending on your preference, the sauce might taste a little salty.
Adding plenty of the chili powder provided on the table helps to balance out the potentially overly sweet or greasy flavors, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing, slightly spicy taste.
Kalguksu, Jajangmyeon, and steamed buns
The soup of this restaurant's kalguksu is based on dried anchovies, resulting in a light and refreshing flavor without any fishy smell. It's a traditional market-style kalguksu, lightly topped with zucchini, seaweed powder, green onions, and sesame salt.
These noodles have a delightful chewy and springy texture, yet they glide smoothly down the throat, making for a very pleasant mouthfeel.
In addition to kalguksu, we offer a wide variety of reasonably priced dishes such as jajangmyeon, milmyeon, bibimbap, pork rice bowl, steamed dumplings, and mini kimbap, so you can enjoy whatever you like.
The restaurant is always bustling with local shop owners and elderly people during lunchtime, so I recommend visiting a little before the peak hours. Their popular "mini kimbap" often sells out quickly.
Also, since it opens at 7:00 AM, you can easily use it for breakfast.
