Choosing a restaurant to eat can be quite a chore especially when you're in a new land.
Aside from wanting to make sure that the food is delicious, you also want to make sure that the menu is not overpriced.
You definitely want to experience the culture of South Korea through their food, and although many dishes are made with beef, chicken and pork, there are still a handful of seafood dishes available for muslims.
Finding a restaurant that fits all of these descriptions can take up a lot of time, especially when most of the information are not available in English. But fret no more as I've made a list of recommended muslim-friendly Korean restaurants in Busan! Let's start with the countdown!
#5 Jeonpo Bangatgan 전포 방앗간, Seomyeon
This restaurant just took tteokbokki-gaming to the next level!
How do you like your tteokbokki? A lot of people might have imagined tteokbokki would taste great when combined with cheese or cream.
Well this place just made that happen! What makes this innovative fusion restaurant stand out is the creativity and effort they put in their menu. You can even choose the level of spiciness of the sauce(mild/normal/hot).You can order your tteokbokki either overflowing with cheese like a waterfall or filled to the brim with cream shaped like a rose! Both looked and tasted absolutely amazing! There's also an addition of fish cakes, eggs, noodles, beansprout and spring onions.
If you're looking for a unique and satisfying tteokbokki experience and you happen to be in Busan, then this place is perfect for you! (There is also no meat used in the tteokbokki sauce).
*Tteokbokki is a traditional korean food found everywhere in South Korea, you can find it on the street or as a side order in several restaurants.

#4 Sumininae 수민이내 in Cheongsapo 청사포
Cheongsapo has been tagged as the Grilled Clam Village because of the numerous restaurants that serve grilled seafood.
Sumin's is the most popular so we decided to eat there. We were served with a combination of eels, scallops, clams, shrimps, giant mussels and abalones.
The seafood are still alive in aquariums inside the store and are served upon order. It's a wonderful experience to grill your own seafood and have a taste of exquisite seafood quality after walking around the Cheongsapo area.
Price:
Special Seafood Set - 80,000 won

#3 Huiyane Seokswe Jjukkumi and Bindae tteok 희야네소쇠쭈꾸미와 빈대떡 in Seomyeon 서면
Jjukkumi 쭈꾸미 (Baby Octopus), unlike the name suggests, are fully grown octopus which really naturally just small.
They are marinated with gochujang (Korean red chili pepper paste) then seared quickly on the grill.
The spiciness can be adjusted as you can order them in mild, average or spicy sauce. It's tender, chewy and bursting with flavor!
You can dip it with mayo and wrap in perilla leaves which makes a good taste combination.
Another specialty of the restaurant is the Nokdubindaetteok 녹두빈대떡 which are mungbean korean pancakes and in this restaurant, it also has no meat!
You can also order their Jjukkumi Fried Rice 쭈꾸미철판벆음밥. It usually has pork in it, but you can have the option for the pork to not be included and they will willingly comply to your request.

#2 Haeundae Giwajip Daegutang 해운대 기와집 대구탕 in Haeundae 해운대
Do not be confused! The 'Daegu ' in 'Daegutang' did not come from Daegu city.
Daegu 대구 is also the Korean word for codfish.
The codfish soup is definitely an underrated yet must-try Korean dish and this restaurant serves the best-tasting codfish soup Busan has to offer!
This restaurant is so specialized it only serves this single dish in their menu yet there are so many people that eat here which is why you have to get a number and wait in line just to get a seat!
They will serve you two huge slices of codfish in a mild yet refreshing broth. The taste of the fish really comes out, you'll definitely be planning your next visit even before you finish your meal.
Luckily, this restaurant is also located nearby the Haeundae Blueline Park Mipo station, so you can eat here for lunch or dinner!
