Mackerel Research Institute, a restaurant for office workers in Jungang-dong, has become a popular spot near Busan Station.

📍Address: 1st Floor, Areum Building, 79-1 Jungang-daero, Jung-gu, Busan 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: Not flashy for Instagram, but clean 📍Key Points: I had the rice pot and soba set, and it was really clean and delicious. It's mild, so you can eat it without feeling heavy. Although I've had better mackerel rice pots elsewhere, it's definitely not bad. If I were nearby, I would often go for lunch, and for travelers, it's a good place to have a meal if you have nowhere else to go near Busan Station. 📍Average Price per Person: Set 13,500 KRW 📍Rating: 3.5/5
