Visiting on a rainy Monday lunch with her mother and 7-month-old baby, the writer ordered the Haemokjeong B Set — boneless angler fish stew, mushroom kalguksu noodles, and fried squid — and found the baby chair spotless enough to skip her usual sanitizing wipes. The portion looked a little small without bean sprouts, but the taste and cleanliness left her satisfied. ## Good to know - **Address**: 84 Sinseok-ro, 101-ho Haemokjeong, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - **Hours**: Sun–Fri 11:00–21:50 (last order 21:00) - **Saturday**: 11:00–24:00 (last order 23:10) - **Closed**: Open year-round - **Parking**: Gangnam Market public parking lot (8 Gangnam-ro 19beon-gil), about 200m away, 2 hours free - **Order**: Haemokjeong B Set (boneless angler fish stew or spicy braised pork ribs + mushroom kalguksu noodles + 2pcs fried squid) - **Spice levels**: Mild, medium (about as spicy as Shin Ramyun), and hot — 3 levels - **Amenities**: Baby chair available; restroom shared on the building's 1st floor (bring your own tissue) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* My mom is always busy with work, but Mondays are usually the one weekday she can spare, so if we meet at all during the week, it's on a Monday. This time was no different — we met for lunch, and since I had plans near Cheongna in Incheon, I looked for a restaurant nearby and ended up having lunch at Haemokjeong Seoknam. ## Location and hours of Haemokjeong Seoknam - Address: 84 Sinseok-ro, 101-ho Haemokjeong, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - Hours: Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 11:00 AM – 9:50 PM (last order 9:00 PM) - Saturday: 11:00 AM – midnight (last order 11:10 PM) - Open year-round, no regular closed days - Parking: Gangnam Market public parking lot (8 Gangnam-ro 19beon-gil), about 200m away, 2 hours free - Amenities: baby chair ⭕️ ![Sign for Haemokjeong Seoknam restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-01-8nivh-934.webp) ### Where do you park? They give you 2 hours free parking when you dine in. There's nowhere to park nearby, so make sure you park at Gangnam Market public parking lot and grab a parking ticket. I visited on a rainy day and, with a baby to carry along with all her stuff, it felt like too much hassle, so I just parked on the roadside nearby. This area still seems to be under construction, so plenty of people were parking on the shoulder too. ![Entrance to Haemokjeong Seoknam and the surrounding street](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-02-hmneo-966.webp) ![Vertical photo of the Haemokjeong Seoknam exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-03-1ovob-966.webp) ![Front of the building housing Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-04-1gzfv-966.webp) ![Sign in front of Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-05-oc1cg-966.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-06-424wa-966.webp) ![Street in front of Haemokjeong Seoknam on a rainy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-07-1anpa-966.webp) ## Menu and the vibe of the place They have everything from seafood stew and seafood-and-ribs stew to boneless angler fish stew and hot pots, plus single-portion stir-fries and rice dishes. There were quite a few people who seemed to work nearby, and even at lunchtime some families were dining together. ![Menu board for seafood stew and angler fish stew at Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-08-1rsx2-966.webp) ![Menu board for sets and rice dishes at Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-09-11644-1200.webp) The restroom is on the 1st floor of the building's shops. You have to punch in a code, but the door was open when I went. Bring your own tissue. ![Seating inside Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-10-45s08-966.webp) ![Tidy dining hall at Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-11-uk565-966.webp) ![Tables and interior view of Haemokjeong Seoknam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-12-1hxf4-966.webp) ![A table at Haemokjeong Seoknam with a baby chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-13-1bzhz-966.webp) ### How was the baby chair? The inside of the restaurant was really clean. They also had a baby chair, which they brought out when I asked. And it was spotless! Most baby chairs at restaurants have some kind of grime or stains on them, so I usually carry sanitizing wipes to clean them first, but Haemokjeong Seoknam's was so clean I just sat my 7-month-old, Creamy, right down in it!! You could tell they really keep up with the cleaning. ![Guide showing how to eat the dishes and the spice levels at Haemokjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-14-19bmd-966.webp) I wondered if maybe the place had just opened recently, but that couldn't be it — there were over 3,000 Naver receipt reviews. ### How to eat it for maximum enjoyment - Wrapping the various seafood in perilla leaves with chives and cheonsachae (glass noodle-like seaweed salad) makes it even tastier - When the sauce or broth is still left over in dishes like seafood-and-ribs stew or abalone seafood hot pot, they recommend adding cheese, flying fish roe fried rice, or extra noodles ### What are the spice levels? There are 3 spice levels: mild, medium, and hot. Mild is for people who can't handle spicy food — anyone can eat it. Medium is a level anyone can enjoy (about as spicy as Shin Ramyun). Hot is for people who genuinely enjoy spicy food. ## Haemokjeong B Set: boneless angler fish stew We ordered the Haemokjeong B Set. It comes with boneless angler fish stew or spicy braised pork ribs, plus mushroom kalguksu noodles (1 serving), and fried squid (2pcs). We went with the boneless angler fish stew. ![Basic table setting for the Haemokjeong B Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-15-yt2j7-966.webp) The basic side dish setup: four side dishes served along with the cheonsachae salad. ![Four side dishes and cheonsachae salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-16-1n2k4-966.webp) ![Side dish plate with cheonsachae salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-17-1k0yn-966.webp) The seaweed soup seems to be a standard side, and the fried squid is included as part of the B Set. ![Seaweed soup served as a standard side](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-18-1c0rw-966.webp) ![Fried squid included in the B Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-19-ccrlr-966.webp) The boneless angler fish stew comes almost fully cooked. They give you a timer along with it and tell you to heat it for about 2 minutes before eating. Inside were boneless angler fish, gonyi (monkfish roe sac), fish eggs, rice cakes, cabbage, onion, scallion, and minari (water dropwort). The angler fish itself was meaty and satisfying. ![A full serving of Haemokjeong's boneless angler fish stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-20-9obu5-889.webp) ![Boneless angler fish stew topped with minari and rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-21-3lfwd-927.webp) ![Angler fish stew showing boneless fish and gonyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-22-1aw2v-966.webp) ![Boneless angler fish stew served in a small plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-23-jufbo-966.webp) ![Mushroom kalguksu noodles in red seasoned broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch-24-xfjsz-966.webp) ### What I wasn't so sure about It's meant to serve 2, but it didn't feel like a huge portion. I think that's because there were no bean sprouts. Most seafood stews or angler fish stews come with bean sprouts, but Haemokjeong didn't have any. Without the bean sprouts, it felt a little... lacking, somehow. Still, it was delicious. The kalguksu noodles were mushroom kalguksu in a red seasoned broth. ## Where it is - Haemokjeong Seoknam (해목정 석남점) - 84 Sinseok-ro, 101-ho Haemokjeong, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 서해구 신석로 84 101호 해목정 - 37.5098359, 126.6714757 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EB%AA%A9%EC%A0%95%20%EC%84%9D%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.5098359,126.6714757,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@box-opened/haemokjeong-seoknam-anglerfish-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
