Green Onion Noodles in a Seomyeon Alley: The Waiting and Ordering Process to Know at Yasumaru

The name ‘Parang Noodles’ began with green onions and rolled egg

Yasumaru is a Japanese restaurant located on the first floor of 24, Jungang-daero 756beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan. Visit Busan, Busan’s tourism platform, lists Parang Noodles and mackerel seaweed rolls among its signature dishes and introduces the restaurant as a place that aimed to create food suitable for eating in summer, when appetites tend to decline.

Parang Noodles are easy to understand by name because the dish consists of finely sliced green onions and a large rolled egg placed on top of the noodles. Reviews mention the temperature difference between the noodles served cold and the relatively warm rolled egg, so the dish may be better suited to people who enjoy cold noodle dishes than to those expecting hot noodle soup.

Between noon lunch and the 5:30 p.m. dinner opening: how to avoid the break

According to Visit Busan’s operating-hours information, the restaurant is open from 12:00 to 14:50 and from 17:30 to 21:00, and is closed on Sundays and the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Other recent reviews list hours of 12:00 to 21:30 from Monday to Saturday, with a break from 15:30 to 17:30, a last lunch order at 14:40, and a last dinner order at 21:00. It is therefore advisable to reconfirm the hours for that day just before setting out by calling 010-7144-7600 or checking the restaurant’s social channels.

This is a restaurant with no admission fee, and food is charged according to the dishes ordered. Reviews note that Parang Noodles, Eggplant Dengaku, Saba Bouzushi, Saba Isobemaki, Miso-Grilled Chicken, and Soy-Sauce-Braised Pork Belly may sell out depending on ingredient availability. If you have a particular dish in mind, it is better to ask whether it is available as soon as you arrive.

A 3-minute walk from Seomyeon Station, 8 minutes from Jeonpo Cafe Street

Triple’s guide states that Yasumaru is about a 3-minute walk from Seomyeon Station on Busan Metro Line 1 and about an 8-minute walk from Jeonpo Cafe Street. The destination is not on the main road of Jungang-daero but inside Jungang-daero 756beon-gil, so it is easier to find by entering “24, Jungang-daero 756beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan” in a map app and checking where to enter the alley.

When traveling from Busan Station, set Seomyeon Station on Busan Metro Line 1 as your destination to travel without a transfer. The commercial area between Jeonpo Station and Seomyeon Station has many pedestrians and some narrow alley sections, so people with suitcases or strollers should move slowly along the final stretch from the main road into the alley.

Why remote queuing may be difficult at a restaurant without a sign

Older reviews introduced Yasumaru as a shop without a sign, while a 2024 review of the annex explained that after joining the remote queue through Tabling, visitors had to arrive at the restaurant and enter their reservation number before their wait was confirmed. The current operating location and waiting system may change, so rather than relying solely on a remote queue number and staying far away, check the same-day screen for the required arrival time before being called.

A 2022 review described a waiting experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes, while a 2024 review mentioned that waiting was possible even on weekdays. This does not mean the same wait occurs on every visit. Still, it is practical to check the restaurant’s current waiting status before lunch and dinner begin, and to prepare an alternative meal plan if your travel schedule is fixed.

• The waiting system may change, so checking on the day of your visit is recommended
• Some reviews describe a procedure requiring arrival and confirmation on-site after joining the remote queue
• There are reports that closing may be moved earlier when lunch ingredients run out
• Signature dishes may sell out

Mackerel stick sushi and mackerel seaweed rolls are alternatives to Parang Noodles

Even if you are visiting with the goal of ordering only one bowl of noodles, understanding the character of the mackerel dishes can make ordering easier. Reviews introduce Saba Bouzushi as pressed stick sushi made with mackerel and rice, and Saba Isobemaki as mackerel and vegetables rolled in seaweed. If you are sensitive to the aroma of raw fish, you may wish to consider cooked dishes such as Eggplant Dengaku or Miso-Grilled Chicken first.

Eggplant Dengaku has been described as a dish of fried eggplant topped with sauce and baked in an oven. Knowing the differences—cold noodles; fish dishes for the mackerel stick sushi and seaweed rolls; and cooked side dishes for Eggplant Dengaku and Miso-Grilled Chicken—can help reduce overlap when dining with two or more people.

Who should first consider the under-20 entry restriction and the bar-seat atmosphere

A 2024 review states that people under 20 are not allowed to enter. Families dining with teenagers should confirm with the restaurant before making a reservation or setting out whether this policy is still in effect, and it is safest not to finalize your visit plans until it has been confirmed.

Older reviews mention counter-style seating and bar seats that are convenient for solo diners, but there is limited official information about the seating layout, group capacity, or wheelchair access routes. If you use a mobility aid, wheelchair, or stroller, or are visiting with a group, it is advisable to call ahead and ask about available space and the number of guests who can enter. A third-party listing says that nearby Lucky Parking may be available, but the partnership status and fees have not been confirmed, so separate verification is necessary before arriving by car.

• Under-20 entry restriction: Based on reviews; reconfirm before visiting
• Seating: Some reviews mention bar and counter-style seats
• Parking: Nearby Lucky Parking is mentioned in some listings, but fees and partnership status are unconfirmed
• Recommended duration: About 40–60 minutes for the meal only; waiting time is additional

How this Jeonpo-dong alley restaurant fits into a Seomyeon itinerary

The Jeonpo and Seomyeon area where Yasumaru is located belongs to the Seomyeon neighborhood served by Busan Metro Lines 1 and 2, and it is about an 8-minute walk from Jeonpo Cafe Street. Rather than making Yasumaru a standalone destination, you can shorten your travel route by arranging your schedule in the order of arriving at Seomyeon Station, waiting for a table, and then walking to Jeonpo Cafe Street.

The “2025 Taste of Busan” publication issued by Busan Metropolitan City includes “Yasumaru Ninniku,” while Visit Busan introduces Yasumaru through Parang Noodles and mackerel seaweed rolls. It is more appropriate to view the restaurant as a place that serves a combination of noodle dishes, fish, and Japanese-style small dishes rather than as one fixed type of restaurant. Since the menu and operating location may change, check announcements on the official Instagram first.
