Soup and riceKorean
Halmaejip
할매집 Halmae is Busan dialect for grandmother, so Halmaejip means 'grandma's place'; it sits on the ground floor of the Haeundae Oncheon Center, whose bathhouse is called Halmaetang.

A pork-rice soup house in the Haeundae Oncheon Center building, across from the Haeundae district office. Pork, sundae and offal soups are 9,500 won and the signature pork-jowl soup is 13,000 won; it also serves pork belly stir-fried with scallions on a hot plate (22,000 won for two). We read 15 posts from 25 July to 20 October 2026; 12 are records of actual meals. Two were about other restaurants that share the name (a seafood place in Dadaepo and a blowfish house in Mipo) and one only listed it among the city's top-20 gukbap shops.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Side dishes are topped up from a self-serve bar: 10 of the 12 visit posts mention it, with kimchi, radish kimchi, chives, onion, chilli, garlic and chilli paste. Two noted a sign asking diners to take only what they will eat. One was told to look for scissors at the bar and found none.
- Seven posts said the pork had no gamey smell. The broth is milky bone stock; one post found it light at first and deeper as they ate, warning that lovers of very heavy broth might be disappointed. One noted the chilli paste contains beans and makes the soup nutty rather than hot.
- Seven posts said portions are generous; one described the large offal soup as heaped above the rim.
- Eight posts called the room large, with tables from four-seaters to group seating; two saw parties of nine or ten walk in, and the one solo diner felt comfortable. One post sat by a sunny window overlooking a garden of large crocks.
4 more
- Seven posts mention a wall covered with celebrity autographs.
- Waiting depends on timing: four posts waited and three were seated straight away. Recorded waits are 10 minutes around 1 p.m. on a weekend and about 30 minutes even outside the peak. Those seated immediately came around 11 a.m. on weekdays (two) or on a quiet weekday (one). There is a waiting list or number machine at the entrance; one post joined the queue via Catch Table. One noticed more foreign customers than before.
- Two posts ordered on a tabletop tablet; two said the pork-belly hot plate starts at two portions.
- Three posts came with children; the soup was mild enough for a toddler to finish, and parents grilled plain pork apart from the seasoned scallions. One post confirmed a high chair; other mentions are copied notices.

Parking

Parking is in the Haeundae Oncheon Center lot behind the building. Three posts describe actually parking there; two found plenty of space across the surface lot and tower, and one parked at 11 a.m. on a weekday and had three minutes left of the free hour after soup and pork belly. The one-hour-free rule and the note that solo diners get no parking validation appear in five or more posts, but as copied notices or hearsay.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | 1 of 12 posts |
|---|
We don't know the floor layout from experience: several posts say ground floor of the bathhouse building, but that repeats the address; no one described the entrance itself.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That is not a no; nobody wrote about it.
One post says the restroom is to the left as you face the kitchen; nobody mentioned whether it is gender-separated or how large it is.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 13 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Only one post commented on service, saying staff were unhurried and seating and payment were slow on a busy day; others did not judge service. One post said the food came out quickly.
- Two posts copy a notice putting it 661 m from exit 1 of Haeundae station on Line 2; one says a five-minute walk, another ten. No post describes actually arriving by transit.
- Eight posts give the same hours, daily 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., all copied from listings. Last order is given as 8:35 p.m. (four posts), 8:40 (one) and 8:30 (one). Three add that holidays and weekends may differ; no post mentions a closing day.
- Only four posts give prices, all from September and October 2026. The only full bill: 51,500 won for three people with two portions of pork belly and three bowls of soup.
- The phone number 0507-1405-1184 appears in more than five posts. Listings say reservations go through Naver or Catch Table, and one post believes bookings close the day before, but no one actually booked.
- One post discloses sponsorship, and one six-restaurant roundup says four of the six were comped without saying which. One post says the writer paid.
