박서방식당
Bak Seobang Sikdang is a hearty Korean set-meal restaurant in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, celebrated for its soy-marinated shrimp and abalone dishes that have become so popular they are available for delivery orders nationwide. The shrimp-jang and jeonbok-jang strike a satisfying sweet-salty balance that pairs irresistibly with rice, and many first-time visitors end up ordering them by mail afterward. The grilled fish is cooked to a crisp on the outside with generous, flaky flesh inside, and a local specialty fish called namakseu draws comparisons to fried fish cutlets for its unusually crunchy texture. Side dishes are plentiful, covering the table in a traditional baekban spread, and every item is refillable. The restaurant traces its roots to a truck-driver eatery, which explains the no-nonsense, generous portions that leave no one hungry. Because all ingredients are prepared fresh each morning, the kitchen closes once supplies run out, so arriving before the lunch rush is advisable. Roadside parking is available directly in front of the restaurant, and its location on the way to Namhae makes it a practical pit stop for travelers headed along the southern coast. As a finishing touch, diners receive yogurt and steamed sweet-bread for dessert, plus a handful of candy at checkout, a small gesture that rounds out the welcoming, old-school hospitality this place is known for.
