Songdo sashimi bowl and lunch set for three: Songdo Jonghap Eosijang

I visited Songdo Jonghap Eosijang (송도종합어시장), a raw fish restaurant in Songdo that sells a cheap lunch special. The lunch sashimi set (hoejeongsik) is only ₩12,000, so it's a great-value spot.

The lunch sashimi set at Songdo Jonghap Eosijang is ₩12,000, and it's a full course that even ends with spicy fish stew. If a place has a lunch special, I almost always order it. This Songdo restaurant lets you enjoy a sashimi course with spicy fish stew for ₩12,000.

Where to park

Park in the building's underground car park. They gave us a 2-hour free parking ticket, so we could drive out for free.

Lunch set contents and ordering conditions

The lunch sashimi set includes assorted sashimi, sushi, sea squirt, fried shrimp, steamed egg, seasoned vegetables, spicy fish stew, and free use of the self-serve bar. You need to order for at least 2 people, and steamed rice is extra. The lunch set can be ordered until 2 p.m.

The restaurant is spacious and open. There was no fishy smell at all, and it was a comfortable place to eat.

What sashimi is on the menu at Songdo Jonghap Eosijang?

If you want sashimi, check this menu. There was a wide range: flatfish (halibut), rockfish, mullet, salmon, flounder, parrot fish, sea bream, sea bass and more. If you love seafood, just order from the seafood menu.

Isn't summer croaker season? They sell croaker (mineo) here too, so it's a good Songdo spot for that as well. But we came for lunch, so we decided on the meal menu: the lunch sashimi set for 2 people and one live-fish raw fish rice bowl.

The hall is big and crowded, but the server lady was kind and set the table quickly.

The white kimchi (baek-kimchi) was refreshing and tasty, and not too sweet, so it was easy to eat. There was also something like a fried meatball? I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it was a nice little treat.

Can three people share the lunch set for two?

Three of us shared the lunch set for 2, and the amount was fine for a lunch meal. It comes with assorted sashimi, sea squirt and sushi. Since we ordered for 2 people, there were 2 pieces of sushi per person.

The assorted sashimi came out small. It was mullet and rockfish. It was a good amount for three people having lunch. We ate the portion meant for 2, but since it was a lunch meal, it was enough for the three of us.

The seaweed soup was refreshing and delicious too, perfect for sipping during the meal.

The seasoned vegetables were the kind you could use to make hoemuchim (spicy raw fish salad). They come with a lot of roasted soybean powder sprinkled on top, which made them even nuttier and tastier.

How the mullet and rockfish sashimi tasted

The color of the mullet sashimi was lovely. It was chewy and sticky-firm rather than springy. I only came for the value, but there was no fishy smell and it was delicious, a great Songdo spot for mullet. Topped with the seasoned vegetables, it's amazing. Is it mullet season? I want more mullet already,,

The rockfish sashimi is of course springy and insanely good. Is there even an off season for rockfish? It seems delicious every time of year.

I already thought the lineup was good, and then the steamed egg and fried shrimp came out. The steamed egg was fluffy and a bit mildly seasoned, so I happily got my protein without any fuss.

The fried shrimp was crispy. It's always a crowd favorite at raw fish restaurants.

How is the ₩9,000 live-fish raw fish rice bowl?

Live-fish raw fish rice bowl, ₩9,000. If you're looking for a good Songdo hoedeopbap (raw fish rice bowl), I'd suggest visiting Songdo Jonghap Eosijang. The price is cheap and they use fresh fish. When it's fresh, it can't help but taste good.

The vegetables were in good condition, and there was fish roe and finely chopped pickled radish for texture.

Mixed up, it's amazing. The sesame oil flavor is great, and the fish is tasty with no fishy taste~

The fish in the bowl isn't sliced long but cut into small cubes.

My mom's raw fish rice bowl wrap combo

My mom, who really knows her food, told me to wrap the tasty raw fish rice in a perilla leaf, add one more piece of mullet sashimi, then top it with garlic, chili and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste). She said it's heavenly.

I tried it her way and it was really good. It felt like a party was going on in my mouth haha

Finishing with spicy fish stew

We'd eaten a ton, but the spicy fish stew (maeun-tang) was still waiting.

We added a few pieces of kimchi and boiled it, and the broth was rich and deep. Put rice in, top with kimchi and crown daisy, and you can't help but go "aahh."

The hearty lunch set and raw fish rice bowl at this Songdo raw fish restaurant made for a delicious, great-value lunch.

Overall verdict

It feels like a top Songdo spot for mullet,, the mullet was fresh, chewy and delicious. The lunch set has a good lineup and the fish was especially fresh. The raw fish rice bowl was really good too. It's worth seeking out as a Songdo raw fish rice bowl restaurant.
