01 LOCAL TABLEA casual Korean sashimi restaurant near Gangnam Station, best known for its thick-cut, aged sashimi. The restaurant focuses on large, chunky cuts of fish such as flounder and sea bream, with seasonal fish such as yellowtail added depending on the time of year. Generous Korean side dishes come with the sashimi, making it a popular choice for casual dinners, drinks and group gatherings.
View restaurant02 LOCAL TABLEHongdae Sujokgwan is a casual Korean sashimi restaurant on a side street near Hongik University. Rather than presenting itself as a specialized sushi or omakase restaurant, it follows the familiar Korean neighborhood sashimi-house format: fresh sliced fish, simple side dishes, drinks and a choice of seafood dishes. The current menu includes assorted sashimi, halibut, salmon, seasonal yellowtail, abalone, live octopus, mulhoe and seafood hot pots. The restaurant is particularly relevant during the winter yellowtail season. Recent visitor content shows diners ordering yellowtail and salmon together, with the yellowtail receiving more attention because of its rich, fatty texture during peak season. The restaurant is also relatively spacious for a Hongdae neighborhood sashimi restaurant, making it suitable for small groups and casual drinking rather than only a quick meal.
View restaurant03 LOCAL TABLEJageun Sijang Hoetjip is a small neighborhood seafood restaurant in Yeongdo, Busan, serving Korean-style sashimi and affordable hoe jeongsik set meals. The restaurant's most accessible option is the hoe jeongsik, which combines fresh sliced fish with rice, Korean side dishes and a bowl of spicy fish soup. Unlike many Korean sashimi restaurants that are mainly designed for groups, this restaurant also accepts single-person orders. The restaurant is located on Jageun Sijang 1-gil in Yeongdo, in a local neighborhood rather than a major tourist dining district. Its simple setting and relatively low-priced lunch sets make it useful for travelers who want to experience the way locals eat fresh fish without committing to an expensive seafood dinner.
