About this place
The stone-pot bibimbap stays hot to the last bite, with patches of scorched rice to enjoy along the way. That lingering heat made an impression on one lunch visitor. Busan2024 offers classic stone-pot bibimbap (1,000 yen), as well as cheese stone-pot bibimbap (1,200 yen) and bulgogi stone-pot bibimbap (1,600 yen). Choose it for the crisp rice, or opt for cheese or meat to suit your mood. A diner who had the bulgogi version at lunch remarked on the generous amount of meat and the scorched rice. Another visitor ordered kimchi jjigae as a set meal and found it both spicy and piping hot. The stone-pot dish and a stew served with rice make for rather different meals, so the choice can depend on what you feel like eating that day.
For a meal built around a bowl of soup, the lunch sets let you choose sundubu, yukgaejang or kimchi jjigae. Some sets include rice cooked in a pressure cooker and 5 side dishes; the menu notes that the rice takes 10 minutes to cook. Sundubu is also available with cheese, pork or oysters, offering several options for the main ingredient. One visitor praised the plentiful ingredients in the sundubu, beyond the tofu and egg, and found the heat of the spice just right. A diner who ordered the yukgaejang lunch set noted the variety of ingredients in the soup and side dishes, and described the flavour as homely. Comparing the two soups could be a good way to decide.
Seafood pancakes and gimbap are also worth considering when you want a few dishes on the table. A lunch visitor who ordered the seafood pancake described a crisp surface and a filling that included prawns, squid and vegetables. The menu lists seafood pancakes at 1,000 yen and vegetable pancakes at 900 yen, so you can choose according to the filling. Someone who ordered bibim naengmyeon with vegetable gimbap recalled that the rolls were generously filled and the rice pleasantly warm. Vegetable gimbap costs 700 yen, while cheese gimbap is 800 yen. Gimbap can accompany naengmyeon as the main dish, or join other small plates and dishes when dining with a group.
Drinks include draft beer and bottled beer, fresh makgeolli (glass 450 yen), highballs (450 yen) and chuhai (400 yen), with lemon, yuzu or lime to choose from. There are also options to enjoy with the food for those not drinking alcohol, including oolong tea and non-alcoholic drinks.
