Haeundae Tile-roof Cod Soup House

해운대기와집대구탕

Haeundae Japanese seafood course dining known for cod soup

About

A cod soup house on the second and third floors at 4 Dalmaji-gil 50beon-gil, close to the Haeundae Beach, Mipo and LCT axis. There is a ground-floor waiting room with queue registration and seating guidance upstairs. Hand over the car key and a parking attendant deals with it, which fits a first meal on a Haeundae trip or a meal with parents by car.

The kitchen concentrates on one dish. The clear, milky broth tastes long-simmered and deep without leaning on seasoning, and the plain, bracing character of cod comes through. It settles the stomach even without a hangover to fix, and its strength is gentle Korean broth, not heat.

Cod soup is KRW 16,000 with rice, ordered and paid through the tablet at the table. Take the first half as the clear broth, then stir a little of the chili paste on the table into the rest to turn it into a sharper stew. The thick cod is soft and springy dipped in soy sauce with wasabi, and large pieces of radish and scallion, kimchi, seasoned greens, pickled onion, stir-fried fish cake and seaweed balance the meal.

A wide, comfortable room with wooden tables, full-height windows and signed photographs on the wall gives the sense of an old favourite reset in a new building. With one dish on the menu there is nothing to negotiate, which helps with older guests or a family dinner. It fits Haeundae soup, a morning after, mild Korean food, or a family restaurant with room to spare.
