  1. Mori

    Japanese

    Kaiseki in Busan, with Haeundae's seafood doing most of the talking. The chef trained in Japan and channels that discipline into meticulously paced course meals, each dish shaped around what the season and the harbor are offering that week. It holds a Michelin star, which feels about right for a room this quiet and precise. His wife runs the floor, and the two of them together give the place a calm that a lot of fussier restaurants spend a lot of money trying to fake.
