Busan Station & Choryang
Illustrative image

Busan Station & Choryang covers the streets in front of Busan Station (KTX and Metro Line 1), Choryang Station and Busan Chinatown just across the road. It has a "gukbap alley" of pork soup restaurants and a cluster of Chinese dumpling shops, so it is where many visitors eat before or after the train. We took the Diningcode Choryang-dong ranking, removed cafes, bakeries and a second branch of the same shop, and kept the next ten in order. All ten are within a 10-minute walk of Busan Station.
