It had been a while since I'd had seafood omakase, so on the weekend I headed to Sarang gwa Pyeonghwa (사랑과평화), a Gongdeok favorite among Mapo office workers! From seasonal sashimi to mackerel bar sushi, it's also a great Gongdeok drinking spot, perfect for an evening date. Parking in the building's basement is easy, and there's a weekday lunch special too, so it's a good-value place for seafood.

Interior and seating overlooking the Gyeongui Line Forest Park
Inside, you can look out at Gyeongui Line Forest Park, which is lovely in this kind of weather. There are tables for 2, tables for 4 and more, and if you reserve ahead there's no waiting, which is great. You can even drink in the daytime from lunch onward!
The basic side dishes alone are good enough to drink with. There were quail eggs and potato salad, nice and cool on a hot day~

Sarang Course opener: mackerel bar sushi and mackerel sashimi
My partner and I ordered the signature Sarang Course for two, and it started with mackerel bar sushi. You get two pieces each, and fresh mackerel on sushi rice is a work of art.
Next came fresh mackerel sashimi, three slices each. It wasn't fishy at all and immediately made me want a drink.
What comes in the Sarang Course's five seasonal sashimi?
The sashimi in the Sarang Course is served in individual portions, paced to how fast you eat. I enjoyed every piece, from the chewy flatfish to the Spanish mackerel topped with sesame sauce.
Then came sea bass topped with braised burdock and horse mackerel sashimi. No bones at all, fresh and delicious!
The last one was well-aged red sea bream~ It comes with cucumber, and the two go together nicely.
After that came a yuzu-sauce-based sashimi salad with chamnamul (pimpinella, a fragrant Korean herb), great to eat alongside. It was full of savory depth, and I liked that there was plenty of sashimi.
Fried chicken cartilage, a classic drinking snack
The Sarang Course also includes fried chicken cartilage, the one thing a drinking snack lineup can't skip, and it worked well as a side (skidashi) to eat with the sashimi. Crispy outside, and the chicken was tasty!
Finishing with spicy fish stew and ramen noodles
The omakase course at Sarang gwa Pyeonghwa ends with a cool, spicy stew, and you can add ramen noodles, so we did! The course was so generous that we left completely full.
