Moru Sikdang 모루식당

Moru Sikdang is a Japanese-style curry restaurant on Seojeon-ro in Busanjin-gu, Busan, distinguished by a daily-rotating curry menu. Different curries appear on different days of the week - Wednesday features beef tomato curry, while other days alternate between shrimp cream curry and spinach curry. The most popular way to order is the ban-ban (half-and-half) curry, which lets diners sample two varieties in one sitting. The flavor is wholesome without being heavy, yet has an addictive quality that keeps the spoon moving. Both rice and curry are refillable, a generous policy that reflects the owner's hospitality, and the side of kkakdugi pairs surprisingly well with the curry. The restaurant is compact, with a counter and a couple of small tables on the first floor and tatami-style seating upstairs, making it best suited for solo diners or parties of two. The second-floor window seat offers a pleasant view for a more atmospheric meal, and payment is collected upfront at the counter. It is an especially fitting spot for a rainy-day solo lunch, where a focused, single-craft kitchen delivers curry with real depth. Despite its small footprint, Moru Sikdang has built a strong repeat-visit rate among Busan diners who appreciate carefully made Japanese curry executed with consistency and care.
