Pork soup in Nampo-dong, ranked by what Koreans pay

Local Rank is an independent guide that ranks restaurants in Korea by what Koreans actually spent there by card. This page covers Pork soup places in Nampo-dong (남포동), Busan. The old port downtown, next to Jagalchi Market. As of 10 November 2026, the top 3 by last month's card spending are Jinmi Dwaejigukbap (진미돼지국밥, Korean BBQ, top 1.22% in Jung-gu), Miryang Sundae Dwaejigukbap Bupyeong Branch (밀양순대돼지국밥 부평점, Soups & stews, top 2.97% in Jung-gu) and 1deunggamasotdwaejigukbap (1등가마솥돼지국밥, Soups & stews, top 3.96% in Jung-gu). The order comes from BC Card payment data published through eat.pl, so it shows where local cardholders really pay rather than reviews, star ratings or advertising. Big chains are left out. The % is a place's position among all places in Jung-gu: top 1% means only 1 in 100 took in more. Each place links to its eat.pl page with the map, opening hours and busy times.

How this ranking works

Koreans pay for most meals by card. Local Rank takes the card payment ranking that BC Card publishes through eat.pl and lists restaurants by how much was spent there last month. Nobody can pay to appear, and reviews play no part.

Big chains, cafés and bars are left out of the restaurant lists. Cafés and pubs have lists of their own.

Each place links to its page on eat.pl, which shows the map, opening hours and busy times. That page is in Korean; Chrome and Safari can translate it.

Local Rank is an independent guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by BC Card.
