The best Chinese food in Busan, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Chaoran comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Chaoran
Cantonese
A Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor of Signiel Busan, with floor-to-ceiling views over Haeundae and a room done up to evoke old Hong Kong, which is a lot to promise and a specific aesthetic to pull off. The dim sum leans seafood and mushroom, assembled with the kind of care that makes you slow down, and the barbecue pork with honey glaze has the lacquered sheen you'd cross a city for.

Rank 1. Dim Tao
Cantonese
A dim sum shop in the Haeridan-gil area, recognizable by the line that forms outside before you've even decided whether you're hungry. The menu stays focused: soup dumplings, shrimp and chive dumplings, wonton soup, barbecue pork buns, and tea, ideally pu'er or jasmine, because that's how this is supposed to go. Small plates, shared table, no agenda beyond the next bamboo steamer arriving.

Rank 1. Good morning Hongkong
Cantonese
A cha chaan teng, the classic Hong Kong-style café, transplanted to Busan by someone who opened the place purely out of love for the city. The dishes lean Korean in seasoning, but the tomato noodle soup is deeply satisfying and the condensed-milk-glazed bread is hard to argue with. Nai cha and iced lemon tea round out a menu that reads like a Hong Kong fever dream filtered through a very affectionate lens.
