(8 reviews)Hupo Sikdang has been a seafood-focused neighborhood restaurant since 1965. The menu is packed with classic coastal dishes — stews, braises, roe soups, and sashimi rice bowls. Their signature dorumuk jjigae is a shallow, gently simmered stew loaded with plump fish roe that bursts with texture; the mild sweetness of scallion and radish rounds out a deep, comforting broth. Seasonal jorim (braised fish) is also a house favorite, where skate, flounder or herring meet a spicy-sweet seasoning that keeps locals coming back.
Local Tips
