From a bar counter seat, the writer ordered the signature kaisendon and ate through white fish, yellowtail, raw and torched salmon, squid, tuna, herring, ankimo (monkfish liver) and tamagoyaki in order. The sashimi at Makise Hapjeong was good enough to feel like a sashimi platter, and a receipt review added fried mozzarella cheese for free. ## Good to know - **Location**: 44 Poeun-ro 2na-gil, basement unit B01, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 11:30-21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00-17:00 - **Parking**: Not available - **Seating**: 4-seat tables, 2-seat tables, bar counter seats - **Side dishes**: Set out on every table, free refills - **Review event**: Leave a receipt review and get fried mozzarella cheese - **Ordered**: Kaisendon, the signature menu *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* Hi everyone~ it's Juju💙 I love sashimi so, so much~ I was wandering around Hapjeong when I suddenly craved kaisendon and ended up at this kaisendon restaurant, 'Makise Hapjeong'🐟 ![Preview shot of Makise Hapjeong's kaisendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/makise-hapjeong-kaisendon-yellowtail-salmon/makise-hapjeong-kaisendon-yellowtail-salmon-01-aqftb-900.webp) *Today's preview>_<* ## Where is Makise Hapjeong, and what are the hours?
