Suhyang Bapsang Busan: What This Loach Restaurant Is Known For
| Address | 592, Dadae-ro, Saha-gu, Busan (Dadae-dong) |
|---|---|
| Phone | 051-266-4726 |
| Hours | 09:00-16:00 / 16:30-22:00 |
| Signature dishes | Chueotang (추어탕, loach soup) · Galbitang (갈비탕, short rib soup) |
| Known for | Loach specialty restaurant; runs its own fish farm |
It is a loach specialty restaurant beloved by families, and its rich loach soup (chueotang) is the most popular dish, per the city’s English listing.
The listing says the restaurant makes an effort to use healthy and quality ingredients by directly operating a fish farm.
It is also one of the restaurants carried in the official visitbusan.net restaurant guide, built from data.go.kr FoodService.
If a group trip is about sitting down to one dish a place is famous for, this listing fits; if you want a menu with many mains, the listing itself only names two signature dishes.

What to Order: Chueotang and Galbitang
Order the chueotang (추어탕, loach soup) — the city guide names the rich loach soup as the most popular dish.
The guide lists exactly two signature dishes: chueotang and galbitang (갈비탕, short rib soup).
The Korean menu words follow the Busan All-Lang menu dictionary standard names.
The two Korean words are worth saying or pointing at: 추어탕 (chueotang) is the loach soup, 갈비탕 (galbitang) is the short rib soup.
If everyone eats loach, chueotang is the listed answer; if someone in your group does not eat loach, galbitang is the other signature dish to point at.
The city listing does not give per-dish prices, and an undated VisitKorea page shows figures for both dishes that cannot be confirmed as current — so plan to check the menu on site.

Suhyang Bapsang Hours and Phone
Per the city listing (2026-10-03), Suhyang Bapsang runs 09:00-16:00 and 16:30-22:00, and the listed phone number is 051-266-4726.
The city listing’s hours are split, with a 16:00-16:30 gap that the listing does not label as an official break time.
VisitKorea’s English listing instead shows 09:00-22:30, which conflicts with the city listing.
The closing day is not stated in the city listing.
A second phone number (051-262-3210) appears on a business listing last updated December 17, 2020, while the city and VisitKorea listings both show 051-266-4726.
When I look at a listing like this, the hours and phone are the first things I check against the conflicting sources — here the split hours and the two phone numbers cannot be reconciled from the data, so I would call 051-266-4726 before a late-afternoon visit to confirm the 16:00-16:30 gap and the closing day.
Getting There: From Seoul and Around Dadae-dong
The address is 592, Dadae-ro, Saha-gu, Busan, in Dadae-dong near the Dadaepo end of Dadae-ro in southwestern Busan.
On TAGO schedules dated 10/02, the fastest KTX from Seoul to Busan takes 2h 11m from ₩46,700, versus 4h 00m from ₩29,100 on the express bus.
Table: Seoul to Busan, TAGO schedules dated 10/02
| Route | Fastest time | Fares | First / last |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTX | 2h 11m | from ₩46,700 | 05:13 / 22:49 |
| Express bus | 4h 00m | ₩29,100–₩67,400 | 06:00 / 24:00 |
The KTX costs about ₩17,600 more than the cheapest express bus but saves 1h 49m.
If I were choosing between them, I would take the KTX — the restaurant closes at 22:00, so arriving late by bus risks dinner.
No subway or bus stop for 592 Dadae-ro was found in a dated source, so check a map app for the last leg rather than relying on written directions.

Nearby in Dadae-dong
Amisan Observatory is the tourist site listed as nearby in the VisitKorea listing.
That listing is undated, so it is the one nearby name worth checking on a map app before pairing it with a meal — the neighborhood details around Dadae-dong beyond this could not be confirmed from the sources at hand.
If you want one theme for the day, eating chueotang at Suhyang Bapsang and then heading to Amisan Observatory covers a meal plus a viewpoint in the same part of Saha-gu.

In Short
- Before you go, call 051-266-4726 to confirm the closing day, which the city listing does not state, and ask about the 16:00-16:30 break in the 09:00-16:00 / 16:30-22:00 hours.
- The two listed phone numbers differ between sources, so if 051-266-4726 does not connect, try the Onkorea number 051-262-3210.
- From Seoul, the KTX takes 2h 11m from ₩46,700 and saves 1h 49m over the ₩29,100 express bus.

- Amisan Observatory is the listed nearby site if you want a second stop after lunch.
