Yetnal Omakjip, Daesin-dong: the tripe and intestine were great again

Of the beef tripe restaurants in Busan, this is the one I like best. But I find it expensive, so I do not go often. That day a friend was visiting from another city and we were having dinner together, so we went at about 7 on a Saturday evening.

It is a beef tripe specialist near Dongdaesin Station. I am told it has been featured on a TV food program. Many of the customers looked like they were there for family occasions or business dinners.

We ordered the premium tripe and the large intestine.

Here the staff usually grill the meat for you. That day, though, it was crowded, the staff were going back and forth between many tables, and I saw meat burning at a few of them. The service was a letdown. Even so, the tripe and the intestine tasted just as good as on my earlier visits.

I thought it would be better to come on a quiet weekday. It is the place I recommend when you want beef tripe on a special day.

It is open from noon to 9:30 p.m., with last orders at 8:30 p.m. It closes on the second Monday of each month. Valet parking is available.

To finish, we ordered both the udon and the fried rice. I wanted my friend to be able to taste a little of each.

Both were good. Which one to pick is a matter of taste. I usually finish with the udon.
