Sooble is a second-floor evening bar-restaurant in Haeundae, Busan, listed in the city’s English restaurant guide, known for beef-brisket tteokbokki (₩15,000) and raw tuna gimbap (₩29,000).
It sits in the Cloud Mipo building on the Miho waterfront, and the deck of the Haeundae Blueline Park Mipo station connects directly to the building, so the beach train drops you at the door.
This post covers what to order with prices, the choice between 2F Sooble and 3F ELBOOS, how to get there from Seoul, and the hours and booking details to confirm before going.

Sooble is a bar-restaurant on the second floor of the Cloud Mipo building in Haeundae, and Busan Metropolitan City’s English guide lists it as of September 28, 2026.
The name comes from the oldest native Korean word for alcohol, a word that also means night, and the restaurant says it serves what the chef wants to eat and drink.
Sooble is written Soo-ble in Hangul, so showing that Korean spelling to a taxi driver or a staff member works when the English name does not.
The city’s description says it is a popular restaurant-bar with a view of the scenery and a spotless open kitchen.
It sells itself as a bar without a fixed nationality: wine, Korean traditional liquor, Ebis draft beer and highballs, with a menu that changes often.
Because the menu rotates, the price rows below are ‘as listed’ figures, not a fixed promise.
If you want the atmosphere this place is listed for, plan an evening visit after 17:00 rather than a midday stop.
How to Get to Sooble (Haeundae) from Seoul and Around Busan
From Seoul, the fastest KTX takes 2h 11m from ₩46,700 (first 05:13, last 22:40), against 4h 00m from ₩26,700 on the express bus (first 06:00, last 24:00) — TAGO-based timetables dated September 28, 2026.
The bus saves exactly ₩20,000 (46,700 − 26,700) if four hours of travel is acceptable.
Direct subway access to the restaurant is poor, so plan the last leg by train, bus or car.
- Ride the KTX or express bus to Busan.
- Move to the Haeundae Blueline Park beach train and get off at Mipo station.
- The Mipo station deck connects directly to the Cloud Mipo building, so walk straight in.
- By bus instead, reviewers suggest the stops at Jung-1-dong or Miho Moon Tan-road.
- By car, park at Cloud Mipo: 30 minutes free, then ₩1,000 per 10 minutes.
- In-store spending waives the fee in tiers — 1 hour at ₩30,000+, 2 hours at ₩50,000+, 3 hours at ₩70,000+.
A dinner spend of ₩50,000–60,000, which one recent reviewer reported per person, therefore covers 2 hours of parking under the tier system.
If you are coming by beach train anyway for the Mipo coastline, the restaurant costs no extra walking at all; if you are driving from central Busan, the parking tiers make a ₩50,000+ dinner the cheaper hour.
If Seoul time is tight, take the KTX; if the budget decides, the express bus at ₩26,700 is the option.
Hours, Prices and Booking: What to Confirm Before Going
The city’s English listing gives 17:00–23:00, while another listing shows Mon–Sat 17:30–24:00, so the exact opening time differs by source.
No source states a closing day, and Sunday hours are not stated either — call 0507-1411-0178 or check instagram.com/soo_ble to confirm the day you plan to go.
The opening hours for a given date are the one thing a phone call settles in seconds, and the same call confirms whether the kitchen is still taking orders close to 23:00.
Expect roughly ₩20,000–70,000 per person according to the Google listing, with one recent reviewer reporting ₩50,000–60,000, and remember the bar-style rule: at least one drink per person, no sodas among the non-alcoholic choices.
Reservations go through the Catchtable app with a deposit, and window or sea-view seats are the ones worth booking ahead; takeout alcohol carries a 15% discount if you want a bottle for elsewhere.
Credit cards are accepted, vegetarian options exist, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
For a first visit, booking 3F ELBOOS lunch via Catchtable for the panorama, then returning after 17:00 for 2F Sooble’s chadol tteokbokki and tuna gimbap, splits the venue the way its two names intend — day and night.
When this place comes up in a search, the first thing worth checking is the hours, because three sources disagree, and the phone call 0507-1411-0178 settles it before anything else.
