# Yeouido seafood rice bowl restaurant with 15-neta kaisendon: Ilpum - By Doran (https://superchart.com/en/@beauty-chair/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yeongdeungpo, Seoul - Sponsored: This review was written after receiving a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@beauty-chair/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@beauty-chair/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/index.md) ## In short Ilpum Yeouido Branch is a kaisendon and sushi restaurant on basement level 1 of Anwon Building, next to Yeouido Park in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. The premium kaisendon at Ilpum came with about 15 kinds of seafood, including halibut, snow crab, ankimo (monkfish liver) and uni (sea urchin), and the special ilpumdong piled negitoro high with uni and salmon roe. The sharp, seemingly red-vinegar shari (seasoned sushi rice) anchored the rich neta, making this a meal worth the trip. ## Good to know - **Address**: Anwon Building B1, 25 Eunhaeng-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 11:00–21:30 (break 15:00–17:00, last order 20:00) - **Closed**: Sundays - **Parking**: 2 hours covered (same building, ground level and B2/B3) - **What we ordered**: Premium kaisendon, special ilpumdong - **Seating**: Bar seats around a U-shaped kitchen, plus side tables - **How to order**: Mobile ordering via the table QR code *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Wanting a good lunch in Yeouido, I visited Ilpum Yeouido Branch, known for its kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) and sushi 😎 Ilpum runs locations at Magok (the main branch), Gwanghwamun, Gangnam, and Yeouido, and its signature menu spans kaisendon, sushi, and unagi don. ![A bowl of premium kaisendon at Ilpum Yeouido Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-01-xx20l-1200.webp) ## Where is Ilpum Yeouido Branch, and is there parking? > 📍Location > 25 Eunhaeng-ro, Anwon Building B1, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea > > ⏰Hours > 11:00 ~ 21:30 > Break time 15:00 ~ 17:00 > Last order 20:00 > (Closed Sundays) > > 🅿️Parking > 2 hours free > (same building, ground level and B2/B3) Ilpum Yeouido Branch sits right next to Yeouido Park, so it was easy to get to. Rather than just eating and leaving, it's a great spot to pair with a leisurely stroll through the park afterward. ![Exterior of Anwon Building next to Yeouido Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-02-1t1z3-966.webp) Parking can be a worry when driving, but there was plenty of space here, so I could enjoy the meal without stress. ![Entrance to Ilpum Yeouido Branch on B1](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-03-1r7s0-966.webp) ## Bar seats wrapped around a U-shaped kitchen Walking in, the first thing that caught my eye was the unusual layout. Since the space used to be a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, a U-shaped kitchen sits in the middle with bar seating running around it. ![Bar seats wrapped around the U-shaped kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-04-1483u-966.webp) ![Inside the open kitchen, exposed on three sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-05-15av2-966.webp) There are also side table seats, so families or larger groups can dine comfortably. ![Side table seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-06-19u3n-966.webp) I personally love this kind of layout — with the kitchen open on three sides, you naturally get to watch the food being made, and there's real fun in seeing everything prepared so cleanly right in front of you 😎 ![Kitchen staff preparing food](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-07-1t2pg-966.webp) ![View of the kitchen from the bar seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-08-q0cgp-966.webp) ## What we ordered: premium kaisendon and special ilpumdong After sitting down, we ordered two dishes: the premium kaisendon and the special ilpumdong. Beyond kaisendon, the menu also covers sashimi, sushi, and other Ilpum specialties, so there are plenty of options. ![Menu board at Ilpum Yeouido Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-09-ri1uo-966.webp) ![Kaisendon and sushi menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-10-7w6nm-966.webp) ![Sashimi and specialty menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-11-15u2e-966.webp) After checking the menu board, we placed our order through the mobile QR code on the table. ### Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) arrives first Not long after ordering, chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard) arrived along with the side dishes. It had shrimp and ginkgo nuts inside, which made it fun to eat. A nice light starter while waiting for the main dishes. ![Chawanmushi with shrimp and ginkgo nuts, plus side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-12-1h6nq-966.webp) While enjoying the view of the garden visible from the restaurant, our ordered dishes arrived. ![Premium kaisendon topped with a variety of neta](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-13-ei3xc-966.webp) ## About 15 kinds of neta in the premium kaisendon The premium kaisendon was visually striking at first glance. The colors were varied and so many types of sashimi sat in a single bowl that it was satisfying just to look at. As I ate, I counted: halibut, giant squid, red seabream, snow crab meat, ankimo (monkfish liver), salmon roe, salmon, seared salmon, tuna akami, tuna belly, uni, raw shrimp, abalone, scallop, and tamagoyaki — roughly 15 kinds of seafood in one truly lavish bowl 👍 ### Building your own bite: nori, shari and neta What I think makes kaisendon so fun is that you're not locked into one fixed way of eating it. You get to lay shari (vinegared sushi rice) on a sheet of nori and pick whichever neta you like to build your own combination. ![A bite of shari and neta on nori](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-14-dp58v-966.webp) ![A custom kaisendon combination with chosen neta](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-15-3flql-966.webp) I tried a bunch of combinations that day, and it was interesting how the flavor changed depending on which neta I paired together, even though it was the same bowl. My favorite combination was raw shrimp + snow crab meat + ankimo + salmon roe. The sweetness of the raw shrimp, the umami of the crab meat, the rich, silky flavor of the ankimo, plus the salty umami burst of the salmon roe — it was a really memorable bite. I loved how each flavor layered and spread richly in the mouth 🥰 ![Raw shrimp, snow crab, ankimo and salmon roe combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-16-11esp-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the tangy red-vinegar shari](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-17-y2pqi-966.webp) ### The tangy shari that tastes like red vinegar I can't talk about the kaisendon without mentioning the shari — it had a tang and a color that suggested red vinegar was used. I happen to like shari with this kind of acidity, so it really won me over. With the neta being so rich and varied, the tanginess rising off the shari felt like it kept everything centered. If you care about how the sashimi and shari work together, this is the kind of detail you'll appreciate. ## Special ilpumdong: negitoro with uni and salmon roe We also ordered the special ilpumdong. This one had an equally striking look — negitoro (minced fatty tuna) piled up literally like a mountain, topped with uni and salmon roe. ![Special ilpumdong with negitoro piled high](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-18-1nbtm-966.webp) The portion was substantial enough that at first I wasn't sure where to start. I laid shari on nori, added negitoro, uni, and salmon roe together, and took a bite — this combination was genuinely satisfying too. The savory, rich negitoro paired with the deep flavor of uni, and the salty pop of salmon roe rounded out the whole combination nicely. ![Negitoro topped with uni and salmon roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-19-zb34y-966.webp) ![A bite of special ilpumdong on nori](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-20-18eef-966.webp) ### Karaage cold udon and mango pudding at Ilpum The karaage cold udon served alongside the main dishes was more impressive than I expected. I'd been focused on the kaisendon, but after trying the udon, the noodles were so springy I thought they could easily stand as their own dish. The chewy texture of the cold noodles was very satisfying. ![Karaage cold udon served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-21-19tgo-966.webp) The meal ended with a dessert — soft milk-flavored pudding topped with mango purée. ![Milk pudding topped with mango purée](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-22-3865q-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the pudding dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-23-170bl-966.webp) ## Is Ilpum worth it for kaisendon in Yeouido? Ilpum Yeouido Branch impresses from the visuals alone, and the premium kaisendon in particular lets you taste many kinds of neta at once, giving you the happy problem of deciding what to eat first. The special ilpumdong, with its mountain of negitoro topped with uni and salmon roe, was just as satisfying a meal. If you're looking for kaisendon or sushi in Yeouido, I'd recommend giving Ilpum Yeouido Branch a try — you get to enjoy a wide variety of neta all in one sitting. ![Table at Ilpum Yeouido Branch after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari-24-12b60-966.webp) ## Where it is - Ilpum Yeouido Branch (일품 여의도점) - 25 Eunhaeng-ro, Anwon Building B1, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 은행로 25 안원빌딩 B1층 - 37.5287196, 126.9215453 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%BC%ED%92%88%20%EC%97%AC%EC%9D%98%EB%8F%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5287196,126.9215453,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@beauty-chair/ilpum-yeouido-premium-kaisendon-akazu-shari/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
