HoesarangHoesarang’s reviewRecommended

“For ₩30,000 per person, this drinking-snack omakase delivers satisfying aged red seabream sashimi and clear fish soup”

  • Chamdom hoe (raw red seabream)BestPleasantly chewy like mochi, with sweetness that develops as you chew
  • Sandungjang (Shandong-style dish)Cinnamon-scented, pleasantly chewy, and not too salty
  • Ai saeu jorim (simmered shrimp)Sweet and distinctive, making it very satisfying

Liked

  • Thick slices of red seabream make for a generous portion
  • The clear soup has plenty of fish meat
  • Alcohol, including clear rice wine, is reasonably priced

Downsides

  • May not be filling enough as a full meal
  • You have to get your own drinks
