A (fermented skate) specialist on Yeongsanpo’s well-known street — the strong, distinctive aroma meets you as soon as you enter. The menu ranges from single plates like hoe and hong-eo muchim to a multi-course 7-stage set that guides you through fried, jeon, steamed, and a finishing barley soup, so you can taste in many forms.

Local Tips

  • Order the 7-stage Hongeo 1beonji set to taste hongeo served as muchim, samhap, fried, jeon, steamed and finished with a barley broth.
  • Situated on Yeongsanpo’s hongeo strip — expect a lively, local fishing-town atmosphere and the characteristic pungent aroma.
  • Reservations and parking available; choose domestic or Heuksando hongeo for higher quality (Chile options are more budget-friendly).
