4.3
(49 reviews)A multi-generation, family-run pufferfish (bok) specialist in Busan offering a wide range of preparations — from clear soups and to bulgogi-style stir-fries, steamed dishes, sashimi, and spicy stews. Small banchan include tangy-sweet pufferfish skin salad and freshly fried pufferfish; the house specialty is a cooling, mineral-rich bok jiri (clear pufferfish soup) loaded with watercress and bean sprouts. A splash of vinegar brightens the chewy texture of the fish, and the poached pufferfish slices (bok suyuk) are popular for their clean, pleasantly firm bite. For groups, ask for the set course that showcases the restaurant's most-loved dishes.
