If you’re visiting Dadaepo Beach in Busan, don’t miss the chance to try one of the city’s most beloved local dishes: milmyeon (wheat noodles in chilled broth). Located just a short walk from the beach, Dadaepo Milmyeon is a perfect stop after enjoying the sea breeze and a relaxing stroll. Their two signature dishes—milmyeon and galbitang (beef short rib soup)—are both highly recommended by locals.
One of the highlights here is the self-serve hot broth, which is rich, slightly spicy, and so addictive that you’ll find yourself refilling your cup again and again. The crunchy pickled radish on the side also pairs wonderfully with the noodles.

Mul Milmyeon – The Best Choice on a Hot Day
On hot summer days, nothing beats a bowl of mul-milmyeon(cold wheat noodles).
The dish comes with chewy, long noodles in icy, flavorful broth topped with generous garnishes. A half-boiled egg and thin strips of egg garnish add both color and taste, making the bowl as beautiful as it is satisfying.
Since the noodles are quite long, the restaurant provides scissors at the table. Cut the noodles just once, and you’ll find them much easier to eat without losing their chewy texture.
On the table, you’ll also find vinegar and mustard. Add about one tablespoon of each to the broth, mix well, and enjoy—the flavors become even brighter and more balanced. The broth itself strikes a harmony of sweet, spicy, and tangy notes—so refreshing that you’ll want to drink it to the last drop.
Gogi Mandu - Juicy and Flavorful Meat Dumplings
For an even more satisfying meal, add a plate of their meat dumplings (고기만두, gogi mandu). The dumpling skins are thin yet chewy, while the filling is packed with flavorful meat and vegetables. With one bite, you’ll enjoy the burst of savory juices. Pairing dumplings with milmyeon makes for a hearty, well-rounded meal.
Galbitang – Perfect for Chilly Days
When you’re not in the mood for noodles, go for the galbitang (beef short rib soup) instead. Each bowl comes with two large pieces of tender beef ribs, cooked to perfection so that the meat easily falls off the bone. Cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces, dip them in soy sauce, and enjoy them with rice soaked in the flavorful broth. It’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for cooler weather.
