돈화옥 명지본점 Pork soup and blood-sausage hotpot, sausage made in the shop
Compiled from 15 blog posts read in fullSources →
A soup-and-hotpot house in the shopping block of a housing complex in the new town at Myeongji, Busan. Five posts say the blood sausage is made on the premises; two pass on the owner's gloss of the name, something like "bringing pork into flower". Four soups — pork, sausage, mixed, and a red one — and hotpots priced per person, minimum two. Order a hotpot and the ramyeon and extra broth are free and unlimited from the self-service counter; ice cream by the door afterwards, also free. Ten in the morning to ten at night. The posts we read run from April 2025 to July 2026.

What sets it apart
- Order a hotpot and the ramyeon and the broth are free and unlimited. The board says one order per head buys you the noodles; a row of yellow packets sits on the counter. When the pan cooks down and turns salty, you fetch more broth from the same counter — three writers did exactly that. Five put noodles in, and press it on you; one added them before the pan boiled, another put in two. The set sides are spare — pickled radish, onion, chilli, soybean paste — with the kimchi and garlic left to you. Two finished by frying rice in what was left.
- They keep saying the same thing about the pan. Two portions looked like three or four; it is not a normal hotpot pan; the first words out of one writer's mouth were about the sheer quantity. Which leaves the posts split on what two people should order — one advises two bowls of soup over a hotpot for two modest appetites, another says anyone who eats properly should take the hotpot. With free noodles on tap, nobody goes short. The soups draw the same adjectives, and a child's bowl comes at about half an adult's.
- Six writers raise the question of a porky smell and all six say there is none — two about the meat in the soup, two about the boiled pork, two about the sausage. On the sausage they overlap further: densely packed, chewy, and not the bought-in kind. One writer, who dislikes the glutinous-rice sort, says that is precisely why she liked it. Five say it is made in the shop, one of them told so by the owner after saying how good it was. The dumplings, by contrast, are bought in — so the writer who was handed one was told, finding it plump and decent anyway.
- Children come up often. Five writers saw the high chairs for themselves, one calling them plentiful. There is a children's bowl at ₩5,000, restricted to under-eights and pre-schoolers and not available to take away — about half the size of an adult's, by one comparison. Three record a child enjoying the ice cream, and one was told it had just run out because of how many children were in that day. One child who takes heat well skipped the children's bowl for the hotpot.
1 more
- There are signed boards on the wall. Two writers mention them; one is specific — a volleyball team came in, ate, and signed — while the other just notes there are a lot. Nothing else names the team or counts them. One writer catalogues who else was in the room that day: families, students, a couple off work, and foreign customers, one of them collecting a takeaway.

Getting inside
| Second floor | yes 0 · no 3 (of 15 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 4 of 15 posts |
It is buried inside a shopping block, and four writers stop to draw you a map. The shop is on the block's first floor — but in the lift you press B1. One writer explains why: the block's first floor is the lift's basement one, and its second floor is street level. The route repeats: gate 2 of the underground car park, lift to B1, out past the convenience store, left, to the end. Another came in at gate 3 and found it immediately on the left; a third says to follow the signs for the massage-chair showroom. On foot it is easier — the sign shows from the main road, and there is a white inflatable one at the mouth of the lane, beside the tax office and across from the bakery.
Nobody says whether you can get in with a wheelchair or a pushchair — not a ramp, a threshold or a step in all fifteen posts. There are hints: four writers come up from the car park by lift, the approach is a level mall corridor, and several note that the shop runs across two units with room between the tables. Five saw high chairs. None of that answers what is at the door. This is not a no — it is that nobody looked.
Nobody looked at the lavatory. It does not come up once in fifteen posts. One does contain the phrase "separate men's and women's" — strung together with bookings, groups, delivery, takeaway, wi-fi and high chairs, which is a transcription of the listing page rather than anything seen. Whether it is inside the shop or out in the mall corridor, and how far, we do not know.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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 30 posts we gathered, 15 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
- Exactly half of the thirty posts we were handed were written without going, and we have taken them out of our counts. Eleven came out of one template inside three weeks in late 2025: the same five hashtags in the same order, not a single price between them, and whole sentences repeated word for word about bones simmered each morning and feedback taken to heart. The blog handles are strings of nonsense letters, some used twice. In one the writer slips into being the restaurant — "hello, we are Donhwaok" — and another wanders between registers and leaves a word that is not a word. Of the remaining four, one names a soup the shop does not serve and one is written as a press release, quoting "a representative". Across all fifteen, nobody says what they ordered, who they came with, or what it cost. The numbers on this page stand on the other fifteen.
- Nobody among the fifteen who went says how to get here without a car, and that gap is deliberate. Directions do exist in what we were sent — a subway station, three bus numbers, a stop, two minutes' walk — but all five posts carrying them belong to the batch written without going. The sentence circulates only inside that batch; not one person who actually ate here says they came that way. It may well be right, but we did not verify it and will not count it. Two writers did walk: fifteen minutes from a library, and one who simply lives nearby.
- The posts disagree about Sundays. Of the ten that give hours, five say every day — but the most recent, from 28 July 2026, says closed on Sundays. Everything earlier says otherwise, so it may be a recent change, though we could not confirm it. On the rest they are steady: nine open at ten and one at eleven, all ten close at ten at night, and all five that mention it put last orders at half nine. One writer states there is no afternoon break. If you are planning a Sunday, ring first.
- Three posts declare that they were paid, and all three are in our count. Two open or close with the standard line; one tags it at the end of an information block. Declaring is not a tell — all three record what they ordered: one a red soup, a pork-and-rice set and a taster plate of sausage, down to the dried radish and the lettuce, with a look at the next table's hotpot; one a bowl of sausage soup and a plate of the sausage; one a hotpot for two with two extra bowls of rice, shared with a child. One further post looks shop-supplied without saying so — it carries the booking link twice and slips into the shop's voice about lunchtime reservations — but its account of being given a dumpling to try, and its directions through the car park, are specific enough that we kept it. Two of the discarded fifteen also declared payment; they were dropped for having no record of eating, which is the line we draw.
