Tip: Reserve the counter on Catchtable and park at Seohee Star Hills; the alley itself is tow-away.
Bibijae earned a Bib Gourmand on bibimbap alone in Busan's Namcheon-dong, running mala, gang-doenjang and yukjeon bowls from a small open kitchen.

Tip: It also delivers locally, but the stone-bowl crust only happens if you eat in.
