Uiryeong Sikdang 의령식당

Uiryeong Sikdang is a veteran pork soup rice restaurant near Haeridan-gil in Haeundae-gu, Busan, preserving the original character of first-generation dwaeji gukbap dining. Its defining feature is the clear-broth style, a stark contrast to the typical milky-white pork soups found across Busan. The broth is clean and mild with virtually no gamey pork odor, making it an approachable introduction to the dish for newcomers. The bowl arrives predominantly with lean meat, though the ratio of fatty cuts is adjustable upon request, and additional options include internal organ soup and boiled pork set meals. All banchan, napa kimchi, kkakdugi, and seasoned chives, are house-made with domestic ingredients by the owner, and seasoning the soup with saeujeot (salted shrimp) elevates the overall flavor noticeably. Pricing sits around 6,000 won per bowl, offering exceptional value even by Busan standards. The husband-and-wife owners run the shop personally and are well known for their warm hospitality. With only six tables, waits are inevitable during the midday rush. There is no dedicated parking lot, but the owners allow brief curbside stops at the entrance for guidance. Walking access from Haeridan-gil is straightforward, making the restaurant a practical breakfast stop during a Haeundae trip. Early morning service attracts a steady stream of regulars who visit after a soak at the nearby Haeundae hot springs.
