Panoramic beachfront view from Nasari Sigdang’s window-side counter seats

Gwangalli Beach in Busan is pure magic, especially when the Gwangandaegyo Bridge lights up at night. I recently stumbled upon a spot that makes this view even better: Nasari Sigdang Gwangalli Branch. Trust me, if you’re looking for an amazing meal with an even more amazing view, this is it!

Why Nasari Sigdang is THE View Hotspot in Gwangalli

What makes Nasari Sigdang so special? It’s all about the location. Tucked away on the 3rd floor of a building, it offers a completely unobstructed panorama of the Gwangandaegyo Bridge and the sparkling sea. Unlike some other places right on the beach, you get a clear, expansive view that feels like a painting come to life. This elevated position isn’t just for show; it’s central to Nasari Sigdang’s charm, giving you an immersive visual experience that truly sets it apart.

Finding this Nasari Sigdang is pretty easy too. It’s right by the beach, next to Hollys Coffee and Lascos Wedding Hall. There’s even a convenient elevator to whisk you up to the third floor.

Stepping inside, you’re immediately hit with that incredible view. The huge windows perfectly frame Gwangalli, making the whole restaurant feel bright and open. Whether you’re on a date, with friends, or just enjoying a solo meal, the ambiance at Nasari Sigdang is fantastic. The window seats are definitely the most sought-after – I can see why! During the day, sunlight dances on the water; at night, the bridge’s lights create a truly magical scene, transforming your dining experience into something truly special.

My Personal Favorites from the Nasari Sigdang Menu

Here’s a peek at what impressed my taste buds during my visit to Nasari Sigdang:

Seafood king kalguksu bowl at Nasari Sigdang with assorted shellfish

Seafood kalguksu and chungmu gimbap set meal at Nasari Sigdang

Seafood King Kalguksu (해물 왕 칼국수): This hearty noodle soup was packed with mussels, shrimp, and clams. The broth was incredibly clear and refreshing, almost like a perfect hangover cure! They even give a fun tip: don’t spend too long shelling your clams or you’ll get even hungrier. The added seaweed (miyeok) gives it a unique, delightful flavor.

Seafood chive pancake freshly served at Nasari Sigdang Gwangalli

Seafood Buchu-jeon (해물 부추전 – Chive Pancake): Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with seafood like squid and shrimp. Enjoying this with the ocean view just made it taste even better. They give you both wasabi soy sauce and a special chive pancake dipping sauce – try both! Every bite was perfectly textured, a real highlight from Nasari Sigdang.

Cockle chungmu gimbap set at Nasari Sigdang with kimchi sides

Cockle Chungmu Gimbap (꼬막 충무 김밥): Simple yet addictive! These small gimbap rolls came with a flavorful seasoned cockle salad, radish kimchi, and fish cakes. The well-seasoned cockles were a perfect match for the plain rice rolls, making it easy to keep reaching for more.

Beef tartare yukhoe bibim kalguksu served at Nasari Sigdang

Yukhoe Bibim Kalguksu (육회 비빔 칼국수 – Beef Tartare Mixed Noodles): If you like a little kick, this is for you! Fresh beef tartare on thick, chewy noodles with a spicy sauce. It’s got a totally different vibe from the seafood kalguksu, and they recommend trying the seafood one first since this one has a stronger flavor. It’s a truly invigorating dish from Nasari Sigdang!

Quick Tips for Your Nasari Sigdang Visit

Waiting Smart: Nasari Sigdang can get busy, especially during peak meal times. I recommend using the ‘Catch Table’ app to remotely add your name to the waiting list. You’ll get a KakaoTalk notification when your table is ready, so you can explore Gwangalli while you wait, making your wait much more convenient.
Timing is Key: If you want a more relaxed experience and a better chance at a window seat, try visiting a bit after the lunch rush, maybe around 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM. This allows you to savor the view and the meal without feeling rushed at Nasari Sigdang.
Window Seat Policy: This is important! The popular window seats at Nasari Sigdang are only for groups of 1 or 2 people. If you’re a group of 3 or more, you won’t be able to sit by the window, even if you try to split up. Keep this in mind when planning your visit, especially if that view is a priority! This policy helps the restaurant manage high demand and accommodate more guests.
