Best Restaurants in Gwangalli, Busan — Top 10

Gwangalli Beach · November 2026

As of November 2026, our #1 restaurant in Gwangalli is Tonshou Gwangan (Tonkatsu). Nagahama Mangetsu Gwangalli (Tonkotsu ramen) and Subyeon Choigo Dwaeji Gukbap Gwangan (Pork rice soup (24 h)) follow.

This is a first-round list: we picked restaurants from the Diningcode ranking within walking distance of the landmark (cafés and bakeries excluded) and summarized recent Korean blog reviews. Busan.net editors will add scores after visiting. No restaurant paid or treated us. How we rank

Gwangalli faces the lit-up Gwangan Bridge. Ramen, katsu and raw fish cluster in Millak-dong at the east end; soup and Korean set meals in Gwangan-dong to the west. On fireworks or drone-show nights, waits near the beach get much longer.
