Han Ga-in’s Pyeongsanok in Busan: Boiled Pork, Warm Noodles or Yeolmu Noodles?
For a meal near Busan Station that is not pork-and-rice soup, consider 평산옥: Han Ga-in ordered boiled pork and two kinds of noodles here. The important ordering detail is that the pork and noodles are separate dishes, rather than one combined bowl.

Choose your pork-and-noodle combination
Han visited after asking friends from Busan for recommendations for older restaurants. At 평산옥, her first meal stop, she ordered suyuk—boiled pork served sliced—alongside warm noodles and yeolmu noodles.
She described the pork as tender, mild and free of an unpleasant smell. She also liked its dipping sauce and described the fatty edges as pleasantly firm rather than greasy; these are her reactions, not a promise about every visitor's experience.
For a warm bowl, look for onguksu, or warm noodles. The restaurant explained that its broth used pork bones, and Han noted a subtle savory meat-broth flavor rather than the anchovy broth associated with janchi-guksu.
Her personal preference was yeolmu-guksu, cool noodles with young-radish kimchi. She found them gently seasoned and home-style; choose this direction if cool kimchi noodles appeal, but check availability because they were listed as seasonal.
Budget from the dated listing, not the image
The menu information checked on Oct 20 2026 listed suyuk at 11,000 won, warm noodles at 3,000 won and yeolmu noodles at 4,000 won. On that record, pork plus warm noodles totaled 14,000 won, while pork plus yeolmu noodles totaled 15,000 won.
Those figures are historical planning references, not newly confirmed prices. Decide whether you want meat with warm or cool noodles, then confirm the menu, seasonal availability and any sold-out items before ordering.
Plan the station connection carefully
The recorded address is 부산 동구 초량중로 26, and the telephone number is 051-468-6255. The Oct 20 2026 check recorded Sunday closure and an afternoon break, so verify both before fitting lunch around a train.
Do not assume a map's Busan Station exit reference starts where your KTX train arrives. Set your actual arrival point as the walking-route origin, especially if you are eating before departure.
FAQs
Is this a pork-and-rice soup meal?
No. The featured order was a separate pork plate with noodles ordered alongside it, not a single bowl of pork-and-rice soup.
Can I rely on the price shown in the video?
No. The image shows a filming-era price, and even the later Oct 20 2026 menu check is dated. Confirm the applicable price before ordering.
