Why here
A raw-fish specialist (회무침 전문점) in Seokchon-dong, Songpa-gu, open since 1987. Its two signature dishes are hoe-muchim (raw fish tossed with spicy vegetable seasoning) and heosimtanhoe, a set where the raw fish and vegetable mix are served separately so the vegetables can be refilled. Weekend evenings can bring waits of an hour or more, with a name-list system at the door; phone reservations are accepted and weekday evenings are generally calmer. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
