If you ever find yourself near Dadaepo Port in Busan, there’s a hidden gem you shouldn’t miss — Miso Bajirak Hand-Cut Noodles. While it’s a bit away from the beach, the journey is worth it for a truly satisfying bowl of clam kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) that warms both body and soul.
What makes this place special is its use of all Korean-sourced ingredients, bringing a sense of honesty and comfort to every dish.
You can take as much kimchi and kkakdugi (radish kimchi) as you’d like — both are perfectly seasoned and pair wonderfully with the noodles.
The small empty plate, tongs, and scissors are provided for the kimchi and kkakdugi. Take as much as you want from the small earthenware pot, place it on your plate, and cut it into bite-sized pieces before eating.
