Visiting on a Saturday at 7pm meant a 10-minute wait, then four people shared the ₩151,000 signature set with gizzard shad sashimi, assorted sashimi and seafood, plus free corkage on a bottle of white wine even though the salt-grilled shrimp had sold out. It works well for both family gatherings and a night out with friends. ## Good to know - **Mapo Bada Signature Set**: ₩151,000 - **Mapo Bada Premium Set**: ₩129,000 - **Mapo Bada Value 2-Person Set**: ₩103,000 - **Draft beer**: ₩2,000 discount currently - **Corkage**: Free for 1 bottle of wine, whiskey, sake, or traditional liquor (must not be sold in-house); ₩10,000 per extra bottle - **Location**: 1-minute walk from Daeheung Station Exit 3, ground floor - **Parking**: Not available - **Waiting time**: About 10 minutes on a Saturday at 7pm *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Went with friends for a weekend evening get-together to Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada (제철담은 마포바다), a raw fish restaurant in Mapo! From families with babies to neighborhood regulars out drinking, the place was packed — it already had that unmistakable local-favorite feel. We showed up around 7pm on a Saturday and waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. Tables started opening up a bit after 7:30, so if you'd rather skip the wait, go a little later — but if you're worried about seasonal menu items selling out, go early! ![Family gathering spread at Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-01-nyn26-1200.webp) *Mapo raw fish restaurant family gathering* The restaurant is a 1-minute walk from Daeheung Station Exit 3, heading toward Mapo/Gongdeok — close to the main gate of Sogang University. ## A Mapo raw fish restaurant good for family gatherings ![Exterior of Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada on the ground floor near Daeheung Station's main road](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-02-1km1p-m-966.webp) *Restaurant exterior* Walking along the main road from Daeheung Station, you'll spot Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada on the ground floor of a building. ![View near the entrance of Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-03-1ves6-966.webp) ![Interior with a comfortable neighborhood raw fish restaurant atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-04-uzpa6-966.webp) The interior isn't flashy — more the comfortable, neighborhood-raw-fish-joint feel, good for casually enjoying sashimi and drinks. Plenty of tables, and lots of family groups too, so it seemed like a solid pick for a Mapo family gathering. No parking though, so public transit is the way to go. ![Dining hall with multiple tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-05-1yofa-966.webp) ![Mapo Bada set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-06-1x0yo-966.webp) ![Menu signage showing the draft beer discount](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-07-17m7t-966.webp) - Mapo Bada Signature Set — ₩151,000 - Mapo Bada Premium Set — ₩129,000 - Mapo Bada Value 2-Person Set — ₩103,000 The Premium and Signature sets seem perfectly sized for four people! Draft beer is also discounted to ₩2,000 right now. ## A signature spread built for four ![Full spread of the Mapo Bada signature set for four people](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-08-m3it6-966.webp) *Mapo Bada signature set, ₩151,000* We ordered the Mapo Bada Signature Set for ₩151,000. It comes with salt-grilled shrimp, raw shrimp, gizzard shad sashimi and assorted sashimi, grilled gizzard shad, assorted seafood, cold pork slices, and tofu kimchi — a whole variety spread on one table. Unfortunately, since we visited a bit late, the salt-grilled shrimp had sold out. ![Steamed egg and basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-09-3f0b1-966.webp) ![Seaweed soup and side dishes served as standard](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-10-1qbsi-966.webp) Steamed egg, various side dishes, and seaweed soup all come standard, so it seems like a good place for families with babies too! ## A fresh seafood spread ![Assorted seafood platter with scallop and abalone sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-11-1x76g-966.webp) ![Seafood plate topped with moving live octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-12-1md29-966.webp) The assorted seafood was solid from the start. The scallop sashimi had no fishy taste and was properly fresh, and the abalone sashimi had a good chewy texture. The live octopus was moving the moment it hit the table — anyone who loves seafood will probably be quite happy with this spread! ## Seasonal gizzard shad sashimi plus assorted sashimi The sashimi lineup started with seasonal gizzard shad, then moved through flounder, sea bass, amberjack, and sea bream. Rather than a big pile of just one type, we got to compare several fish in smaller portions, which was nice for matching everyone's taste. ![Assorted sashimi with flounder, sea bass, amberjack, and sea bream](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-13-1ob5m-966.webp) ![Plate of assorted sashimi with small portions of several fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-14-uaeux-966.webp) Sea bream sashimi changes flavor over time so you have to eat it first. Above all, it was a generous portion for four people to share! ![Plate of seasonal autumn gizzard shad sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-15-1hnw6-966.webp) ![Picking up a piece of gizzard shad sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-16-1yb4p-966.webp) Autumn gizzard shad especially was clearly in season — nutty and delicious haha. Now I understand why there were so many older gentlemen dining there. ## Nutty grilled gizzard shad too ![Grilled gizzard shad served one per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-17-10er9-966.webp) ![Plate of grilled gizzard shad, large portions](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-18-1y505-966.webp) The grilled gizzard shad also comes out as one big fish per person, making it a great side dish to pair with a drink. ## Tofu kimchi and cold pork slices too ![Tofu kimchi served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-19-1mtek-966.webp) ![Tofu kimchi and cold pork slices side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-20-1ghsb-966.webp) Having side dishes like tofu kimchi and cold pork slices to mix in between rounds of sashimi is another plus. ![Cold pork slices with seasoned wild chervil salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-21-ztprs-966.webp) ![A piece of cold pork with wild chervil salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-22-ve2kv-966.webp) The cold pork slices came with a seasoned wild chervil salad, which paired nicely. ## What are the corkage-free terms? ![Bottle of white wine brought for corkage](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-23-17ect-966.webp) ![Glass of white wine enjoyed with sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage-24-nkftk-966.webp) Mapo Bada also offers free corkage (only for liquor not already sold in the restaurant). One bottle of wine, whiskey, sake, or traditional liquor is free, and it's ₩10,000 per bottle beyond that! We brought a bottle of white wine that paired well with the sashimi and seafood, which was great. ## To sum up - Value: Signature set for 4 at ₩151,000 — seasonal sashimi, grilled fish, assorted seafood, and more - Portions: Generous enough for 4 people to eat and drink well, especially good for seafood lovers - Atmosphere: Recommended for groups, family gatherings, and company dinners - A Mapo/Gongdeok restaurant with free corkage ## Where it is - Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada (제철담은 마포바다) - 104 Baekbeom-ro, Bonghwa Building 1st Floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 백범로 104 봉화빌딩 1층 - 37.5473168, 126.9428341 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%9C%EC%B2%A0%EB%8B%B4%EC%9D%80%20%EB%A7%88%ED%8F%AC%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4/@37.5473168,126.9428341,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@apron-hook/mapo-bada-saturday-wait-wine-corkage/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
