▲ Review
(CAUTIONS) : It’s worth a visit. The best cost-effectiveness of Oboksusan Mountain is the taste I want to eat every day if the price of Kaisen-dong is cheap. You can enjoy the taste if you don’t just eat it with seaweed wrapped in wasabi.
Cost-effective Kaisen-dong restaurant, Sangsu’s “요이동”.
요이동, located a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Sangsu Station, became famous as a cost-effective Kaisen-dong restaurant as soon as it opened at a price of less than 20,000 won even though it served 10 fresh sashimi and seafood. The point is to mix fried kimchi and flying fish eggs when you eat about half of it.

(4D Dreamy Rabbit): You have to come to Yo-dong on a day when you want to have a seafood party. Kaisen-dong is good, and salmon-dong is also a taste that makes your eyes droop automatically! I was so happy that they gave me the service!
Kaisen-dong and sushi at the same time. Gangnam-gu Office Station “스시도우”
A place specializing in kaisen-dong and sashimi. Kaisen-dong, which serves eight to nine kinds of fresh seasonal seafood, including tuna, in a large size, is popular. Japanese-style steamed eggs are served as a pre-meal service, so it is good to warm up your stomach. In the evening, it is operated as an izakaya, so it is also a good place for meals and accompaniment.

(Gourmet liquor) I was surprised because the quality was better than I thought. Like the place famous for omakase, the fish preparation and ripening are amazing.
Seogyo-dong’s “기요한” enjoys Kaisen-dong as a course.
기요한, a famous Japanese restaurant in Kaisen-dong, presents dishes based on recipes learned from the famous Japanese restaurant Tsujihan. Types are divided according to the toppings added based on “Giyohandong,” which is piled up with ingredients such as squid, conch, conch, tuna, and salmon roe on rice.

(Chayo & Jjayo): It’s a bar, so it’s good for eating alone. I ate it as a special meal, and it’s full of crab meat and uni, so I can feel the smell of the sea! At the end, Ochazuke style is also a delicacy.
It’s as good as it’s pretty, Shinsa. “카이센동 우니도”
It is a popular restaurant in Kaisen-dong that contains 16 pieces of seafood, including Wando Jjin abalone, Honma-guro, raw salmon, and ripened flatfish. 카이센동 우니도, where high-quality Uni from Bukhado Island is abundant, is also popular for its soft and rusty taste. You can eat it with soy sauce sprinkled on Kaisen-dong, wrap it in seaweed with rice, and put it on top. It’s icing on the cake with a glass of cold draft beer.
