Yetnal Jjajang

Top choice in Busan


A sterling example of a successful restaurant owner who won’t update the interior. According to superstition, the good fortune a successful shop enjoys can be lost if the interior were changed. Consequently, some shoddy-looking restaurants, like this one, serve great food. See noodles get hand-pulled as you enjoy the excellent jjajangmyeon (짜장면; black bean-paste noodles) and jjambbong (짬뽕; spicy seafood soup).
