Busan Gukbap (부산국밥)

Very small restaurant, maybe 5 tables.

Specialized menu, always happy to try places that do their own things and do it well.

Got a bone broth soup and intestines sausage. Korean people apparently hate the interesting smell, so the intestine sausage (made with glass noodle) had almost no smell or flavor to it. They use the various dipping sauces and salt to flavor it instead.

Loved it, felt stuffed. Loved the fresh kimchi too.

Perfect comfort food for this weather :)
Tried the famous Busan gukbap spot in Fort Lee!

Personally liked the pork gukbap more than the soondae one 🙌
The portions were huge — couldn’t even finish the assorted meat plate 😅

Next time I’d just go for the pork gukbap :)
The combo menu was a bit meh 🥲

The portion is huge considering the price! The food is goooood, and the server lady is not rude, she is pretty nice if you try speaking Korean with her. She must be slammed because she’s the only one serving all those tables and please give her patience. Try speaking Korean with her then you can see her real smile ;)

Thank god we don’t live nearby! If we did, my husband and I would literally be going every day…
The dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken) is out of the world insanely good. I don’t know what they do to it but the broth has such a deep flavor. It’s amazing.
The pa muchim (green onion salad) that comes under the different types of meat is equally as good! Hands down the best Korean food in Fort Lee.
My friends from Busan claim this place is better than actual restaurants in Busan 😉

One of the very few authentic Korean dish. Small menu. And great quality of food. Not a fancy place to impress your date but if you miss Korean food from home or Korea, this is the place.
