Busan(Seo-gu)

Songdo Park is a four-storey building where customers can enjoy the view of the woods along the coastal road during the daytime and the fantastic nightscape of the coast at night.

Grilling beef with pebbles allows the fat to naturally drain away from the meat, preventing the meat from being burned on the outside while equally grilling the inside of the meat, preserving the meat's natural taste inside. The third floor is a traditional Chinese restaurant called Junggukgwan. A chef with experience at a five-star hotel offers Chinese food that has been modified to suit the Korean palate.
