During our Busan trip, we stumbled upon the pig soup alley while wandering through the Busanjin District city center and discovered Suyeong Bon-ga Pig Soup, bustling with people. It had the unmistakable aura of a great restaurant, so we headed there without hesitation.

Even though it was early, the restaurant was already packed. The tables weren’t too close together, and there were even group seating areas inside, making for a more comfortable dining experience. Seeing the group seats full from such an early hour, I instinctively knew this was a truly great pig soup restaurant.

A Generous Bowl of Pig Soup

We ordered the pig soup. While the pork belly soup with rice was also tempting, we opted for a hearty bowl of soup for breakfast.

Before the soup arrived, we were served side dishes, a bowl of rice, and somen noodles. It looked simple, but it felt like a generous spread.

You can freely refill side dishes at the self-serve bar. I believe kimchi is the lifeblood of a good soup restaurant, and the kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) here was so delicious that I refilled it twice. Of course, taking only what you can eat is essential, right?

Finally, the main dish, pig soup, arrived. The amount of meat was so substantial that even before mixing in the rice, there seemed to be more meat than rice. Adding the accompanying vegetables to the soup allowed us to enjoy an even richer flavor.

As I stirred the soup, I noticed it gradually turning red, suggesting that chili paste was added by default. I tend to prefer clear broth, so I was a bit taken aback, but thankfully, it wasn’t an excessive amount. If you dislike spicy broth like I do, you can ask them to omit the chili paste when ordering, so keep that in mind.

I usually take out the meat first because the soup is very hot and to balance the ratio of rice to meat. By eating only the pieces with the right amount of fat, I find myself full before I even get to the leaner, potentially dry parts.

A Recommended Pig Soup Restaurant by Locals

Even while we were dining, customers continued to arrive without pause. Despite it being early lunchtime, we could see that it was a popular spot not only for tourists but also for local residents. Above all, the clean and deep broth, without any porky smell, was exceptional. If you’re looking for a hearty and piping hot bowl of soup, we highly recommend Busan Busanjin District Suyeong Bon-ga Pig Soup!
