How to choose meat and galbitang at Samihun, a 27-year-old Korean beef restaurant at 19 Seomunhwa-ro, Seomyeon

Samihun, serving Korean beef and galbitang in Seomyeon since opening in June 2000

Samihun is a Korean restaurant located at 19 Seomyeonmunhwa-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City. According to tourism information, it opened in June 2000. It serves both charcoal-grilled Korean beef and galbitang, with the Korean Beef Master Set listed as its signature menu.

The official restaurant introduction describes Samihun as a Korean beef specialty restaurant with 27 years of tradition and highlights menus selected by skilled Korean beef masters. Its selection by Blue Ribbon for 13 consecutive years is also listed in both the official introduction and tourism information, showing that it has continued to accommodate both grilled-meat meals and soup-based meals in Seomyeon's central commercial district.

Korean beef marbled chuck flap, assorted special cuts, and flower sirloin: a guide to ordering grilled meat

The Korea Tourism Organization introduces grilled Korean beef as Samihun's main specialty and lists Korean beef marbled chuck flap, assorted Korean beef special cuts, Korean beef flower sirloin, Korean beef brisket, and Korean beef short rib meat among its detailed menu items. To compare several cuts, an assorted special-cuts platter is a suitable choice; to focus on one cut, selecting flower sirloin or short rib meat makes ordering simpler.

In addition to grilled dishes, charcoal-grilled ribs, shabu-shabu, and galbitang are available. If some members of your party prefer a soup-based meal to grilled meat, galbitang can be considered as well. Takeout is also available, although it is limited to certain menu items, so confirm which dishes can be packed with the restaurant before ordering.

From 4–16-person rooms on B1 to a 14–100-person grand banquet hall on the third floor

The official restaurant photo guide separately identifies 4–6-person, 12-person, and 16-person rooms on basement level 1. Even for a small family meal, if the seating arrangement matters, it is practical to state the number of people first and ask whether a private room is available rather than requesting a general dining-area assignment.

The first and second floors have dining-hall seating, while the third floor is introduced as a 14–100-person grand banquet hall. Tourism information states that the restaurant has rooms for groups of 2, 10, 20, and 30 or more people. Since telephone reservations are available, groups of 10 or more and event-oriented meals should be arranged in advance by calling 051-819-6677.

Hours listed as 11:00–21:30 and closures on Lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok: why calling before departure matters

Tourism information lists daily hours as 11:00–21:30 and states that the restaurant is closed on Lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok. However, the Korea Tourism Organization's English page lists the hours as 11:30–22:30, so it is best to reconfirm the current hours by calling 051-819-6677 on the day of your visit.

As this is a restaurant where customers order meals rather than an attraction that charges admission, there is no separate entrance fee. Card payment and takeout are available. If you need assistance in a foreign language, the Korea Tourism Organization's 1330 Tourist Information Hotline provides guidance in Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese.

Samihun private parking lot with 27 spaces and confirmation of complimentary parking by meal type

Tourism information states that parking is available at Samihun. The nearby Samihun Private Parking Lot is located at 400-18 Bujeon-dong, Busanjin-gu, and has 27 spaces. It operates from 09:00 to 23:00, with a standard on-site fee of 1,500 won for the first 30 minutes and 3,000 won for each subsequent 60 minutes.

Recent user information states that customers receive one hour of free parking for regular meals and two hours for grilled dishes when using the Samihun annex parking lot or Yeonggwang Bookstore parking lot. Since discounts may vary according to the dishes ordered and the parking lot used, ask staff about the complimentary parking duration and validation procedure before entering the lot or before paying.

Four things foreign visitors should prepare for 19 Seomyeonmunhwa-ro

The address is 19 Seomyeonmunhwa-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, and the official website is https://www.samihun.com. The Korea Tourism Organization's English page summarizes the address, grilled Korean beef and galbitang menus, card payment, and takeout availability, allowing visitors unfamiliar with Korean-language menus to check the menu names in advance.

The publicly available official information does not specify wheelchair or stroller routes or whether menus are available in foreign languages. Since the restaurant's spaces are divided across basement level 1 through the third floor, visitors who need mobility assistance should ask about the elevator, steps, restroom accessibility, and assignment of first-floor seating when making a reservation by phone.

A 90–120-minute plan suited to a grilled-meat meal and private-room reservations

For a meal centered on a dish such as galbitang, allowing approximately 60–90 minutes including ordering and dining is reasonable. For a meal involving grilling several Korean beef cuts and conversation, plan for 90–120 minutes. These are estimates for visit planning based on the menu composition and floor-by-floor seating layout, not officially recommended durations.

In particular, the third-floor grand banquet hall accommodates 14–100 people, while basement level 1 has separate rooms for 4–16 people. Thus, even for the same type of reservation, the space you should request differs according to the group size and purpose of the meal. For a meal for two, ask whether hall seating or a small private room is available; for groups of 14 or more, confirm whether the third floor can be used and what time the meal can begin.
