About this place
When the platter arrives at the table, the sheer variety of food piled together immediately grabs attention. Along Hakusan-dori, lunchtime diners head to Pusan no Mise largely for its daily special, which crowds fried or grilled mains onto a single plate alongside Napolitan spaghetti, a fried egg, green salad, simmered root vegetables, and tempura. Meaty anchors such as crisp menchi-katsu minced meat cutlets, chicken nanban, or bite-sized katsu come flanked by these varied side dishes, paired with hot miso soup and rice at accessible prices starting in the 700-yen range.
Beyond the daily combinations, the menu holds a full range of traditional Japanese-Western diner fare. Served in a lidded jubako box, the katsuju pork cutlet over rice comes alongside a soft-cooked egg and simmered onions and shiitake mushrooms, yielding an earthy, comforting flavor profile. Diners can also opt for savory ginger beef, Salisbury steak-style hamburg, or rich curries when in the mood for a hearty sit-down meal.
The small dining room features a counter and a few tables, offering a comfortable setting for a solo meal. The kitchen caters to lunch as well as dinner teishoku diners. Payment is strictly cash only, making it wise to keep bills or coins on hand before stopping by.
