Maengyeosa Yukjeon Yukhoe (romanized from the Korean name Maeng-yeo-sa Yuk-jeon Yuk-hoe) is a restaurant in Sasang-gu, Busan listed in the city’s official English guide, open 16:00–00:30 with last order at 23:00.
If your Busan day ends in dinner or a late meal, this listing gives you a concrete evening option — but it closes its kitchen 1.5 hours before closing time, so the arrival time matters.
This post covers what the place is known for, the two dishes to order and how to say them, the hours and phone number, how to get there, and the travel times from Seoul.

It is known for two dishes: yukjeon (pan-fried battered beef) and yukhoe (beef tartare).
The city’s own guide description says the two are ‘already tasty on their own’ and ‘can be enjoyed in various ways here’ — so this is a two-dish restaurant, not a full-menu one.
The guide also notes that the yukjeon is cooked a little at a time so it stays warm when it reaches the table.
The listing is part of Busan Metropolitan City’s official English restaurant guide on visitbusan.net, which is the reason a name-only search leads somewhere checkable.
When I look at a Korean restaurant listing like this, the first thing I check is the hours and last order — 16:00–00:30 with 23:00 last order tells you immediately this is a dinner-and-late-night place, not a lunch stop.
What Should I Order — and How Do I Say It?
Order yukhoe (beef tartare, 육회) and yukjeon (pan-fried battered beef, 육전).
Both are standard names in Busan’s all-language menu dictionary, so menus and staff use exactly these words.
That means you can point at the menu or say ‘yuk-hoe’ and ‘yuk-jeon’ as written, and the order goes through without any other Korean.
Yukjeon is thin beef slices coated in batter and pan-fried, served warm in small batches per the guide’s description; yukhoe is raw beef tartare, eaten cold as it is.
If you want to plan your budget first, note that the city listing does not publish prices for either dish — check the counter menu or call 0507-1372-5203 before you commit to a spend.
Hours, Last Order and Phone
Hours are 16:00–00:30, with last order at 23:00 (per the city listing).
That is an 8.5-hour evening-to-past-midnight window, and the orderable part of it is 7 hours — 16:00 to 23:00.
The last-order gap matters: arrive at 23:30 and you sit down in an open restaurant whose kitchen has stopped taking orders.
So the practical rule is ‘be there before 23:00’, and the window before that is entirely yours.
If you wanted a lunch stop, this is not it — the doors open at 4pm — and for a closed day or parking, the listing does not say, so treat any weekly schedule as unconfirmed until you call.
How Do I Get There?
The address is 2F, 79, Gwangjang-ro 81beon-gil, Sasang-gu, Busan — near the Gwangjang-ro area on the west side of the city, across the Nakdong River estuary from Busan Station.
The listing itself gives no subway line or walking directions, so build the last leg from the address plus the linked Busan travel guide map (which covers sights and restaurants for the same district).
From Seoul, KTX takes as little as 2h 11m from ₩41,400, first departure 05:13 and last 22:40 (TAGO data, September 30, 2026 schedule).
The express bus is the slower, cheaper and later-running option: fastest 4h 00m, ₩26,700–₩52,600, first 06:00 and last 24:00.
KTX is 1h 49m faster but starts ₩14,700 higher; if you land in Seoul late in the day and still want dinner in Busan, the bus’s midnight departure is the one that keeps the evening intact.
Which ‘Maengyeosa’ Is This One?
This is the Sasang-gu restaurant in Busan at 2F, 79, Gwangjang-ro 81beon-gil.
A business called Maengyeosa Food Co.
(맹여사푸드) in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do is a lunchbox and meal-kit maker, founded 2013, business no.
301-31-52588 — not this restaurant.
There is also a small Korean restaurant named Maengyeosa in Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do, which is a separate place with the same-sounding name.
If you found ‘Maengyeosa’ online and are not sure which one you are looking at, match the address or the phone number 0507-1372-5203 against this listing before you plan around it.
When checking a Korean restaurant with a short, common name, the district line is the first thing to look at, since the same name is also used by a lunchbox maker in Jincheon and a restaurant in Geoje.
Where Else to Eat in Sasang-gu
If you want alternatives in the same district, the same city-guide restaurant data is collected on the koreankorea.com Sasang-gu dining page.
That page also includes a Korean menu-words decoder, which is useful for the rest of your Busan trip — it explains dish names like 육회 and 육전 before you meet them on a menu.
For the wider area, the koreankorea Busan travel guide map covers sights and restaurants together, so you can pair a dinner spot with whatever you do that afternoon.
I would keep both open on your phone: the decoder for reading menus, the map for filling the hours before 23:00.
That combination covers the two things a visitor actually needs here — what the words mean and where the places are.
