Uri Bada Susan is a seafood and raw-fish (hoe) restaurant in Seongsan-dong, Seoul, operating since 2007. The dish to order is Daebangeo (giant yellowtail amberjack) sashimi.

Uri Bada Susan uses a Korean waitlist app (a Korean phone number is usually required); you can also line up in person. Remote queueing via CatchTable (join the line before arriving; you get an alert when your table is ready) is the primary way to manage the wait. Limited online CatchTable reservations may open after 8pm on some days, though this isn't a standing policy. The winter daebangeo course is a shared set for two or more; no standing minimum applies to regular orders.
