## In short

Sushi Ryeo is a room-seating omakase restaurant near Seoul National University, in Gwanak, Seoul. The writer had an anniversary dinner course with her husband, from chawanmushi through tamago, warm soba, and green tea ice cream, and asked to reduce the rice portion partway through. Even with over 20 courses, the balance never wavered until the end.

I was trying to figure out where to take my husband for our anniversary dinner when I got a great chance to visit this place. It's famous as a restaurant near Seoul National University's Sharosu-gil, and people were calling it the ultimate value-for-money omakase, so I went in with high expectations!

Just like the reviews said, it was an incredibly packed course for a dinner in the ₩100,000s, and there was even a room where a group was having a company dinner. Here's my detailed review of the dinner course at Sushi Ryeo, a sushi spot on Sharosu-gil!

## Basic info on Sushi Ryeo, omakase near Seoul National University

They accept local currency and consumption coupons, offer parking support, and allow corkage (paid). Best of all, there's a separate room, so I'd recommend Sushi Ryeo to anyone who wants to eat quietly.

## Blue Ribbon exterior, interior with a private room

When I arrived at the door, I counted how many stickers there were... this Blue Ribbon spot near Seoul National University is no joke.

Stepping inside, you feel that quiet atmosphere unique to omakase restaurants. There are two hall tables,

and a room that fits about 6 people. Room-style restaurants aren't common near Seoul National University, and I feel like I've barely seen any among omakase places especially. I'd recommend it to groups having a dinner gathering!

![Chawanmushi, the first course served](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-06-rxv1y-966.webp)

It started off gently with chawanmushi. The temperature was just right for eating, so it went down easily.

The sea bass arai had a pretty chewy texture. A subtle sweetness came through the more I chewed.

![Tuna belly sushi topped only with salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-07-1qp9t-900.webp)

The tuna belly came with just a bit of salt on top, so you could really taste the ingredient itself. The fat content was just right, not greasy at all.

![Amberjack topped with garlic soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-08-1u4vg-900.webp)

The amberjack paired really well with the garlic soy sauce. The sauce wasn't overdone, so the fish's natural flavor still came through.

![Mozuku cold salad with whelk and cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-09-1oazj-966.webp)

![A bowl of tangy mozuku seaweed salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-10-l36at-900.webp)

The mozuku played the role of resetting your palate with its tanginess. There were whelk and cherry tomatoes in it too, so it was fun to chew on.

![Softly steamed abalone dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-11-17wfv-966.webp)

The steamed abalone was cooked soft and just right. It still had that signature abalone chewiness, which I loved.

![Red sea bream and striped jack sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-12-1ax4k-900.webp)

The red sea bream and striped jack sushi had rice at just the right temperature. The sushi pieces were also a nice bite-sized size.

![Clear soup with fish balls and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-13-tbgjj-900.webp)

The fish ball clear soup warmed up my stomach once. The broth was clean, not overly strong.

The akami had been lightly marinated in soy sauce, at just the right saltiness for sushi.

![Sushi topped with sweet shrimp and sea urchin](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-14-n2r3k-900.webp)

The sweet shrimp and sea urchin combo was easily one of the best in the whole course! The shrimp's sweetness and the sea urchin's creaminess worked so well together.

![Second serving of tuna belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-15-1xsb5-900.webp)

Tuna belly made its second appearance, but from a different cut this time. The texture was a bit richer than the belly from before.

![Miso-grilled sablefish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-16-kl19s-900.webp)

The miso-grilled sablefish was on the salty and savory side. The outside was lightly charred while the inside stayed moist.

![Wild flounder and kelp sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-17-13mnf-900.webp)

The wild flounder and kelp brought out a huge burst of umami. The kelp aroma lingered subtly.

![Gizzard shad and grunt fish sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-18-dkryt-900.webp)

### Can you ask them to adjust the rice portion during the dinner course?

The gizzard shad and grunt fish came up one after another next. By this point I was already full, so I asked for less rice from here on out. The dinner course really has that much food, so I think women especially might want to ask for less rice from the very start haha.

![Kaisendon topped with a variety of seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-19-l799p-966.webp)

![A bite of kaisendon wrapped in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-20-1jkrn-900.webp)

The kaisendon filled me up all over again. It's topped with a bunch of seafood, and wrapping it in seaweed was so good!

![Fried pufferfish served with shishito peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-21-1ipc0-900.webp)

The fried pufferfish came with shishito peppers and was nice and crispy. The batter wasn't thick, so it felt light to eat.

![Herring and sea eel sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-22-1qbqq-900.webp)

The herring and sea eel followed right along. The eel was cleanly prepared, so I didn't have to worry about small bones.

It wrapped up cleanly with tamago at the end. The sweet rolled egg felt like the perfect note to close out the course.

![Warm soba served near the end of the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-23-74aj3-900.webp)

The warm soba broth was so good that I kept eating even though I was already full ㅠㅜ

![Green tea ice cream for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner/seouldaeinpgu-omakase-ryeo-private-room-dinner-24-l9ozq-900.webp)

And the full course wrapped up with green tea ice cream for dessert!

## Wrapping up my recommendation for Sushi Ryeo, the room omakase on Sharosu-gil

With omakase, even with a lot of courses, the energy often fades toward the end, but Sushi Ryeo kept the balance steady all the way to the final tamago.

Omakase restaurants with a separate room are rare, so I'll have to come back to Sushi Ryeo, the room omakase near Seoul National University, next time I want a spot for a relaxed chat with friends! With corkage available and parking support too, I'd recommend Sushi Ryeo, the sushi spot on Sharosu-gil, to anyone looking for a room omakase for an anniversary or another special occasion.
