Seolleung Station sushi price chart: 10 plates for ₩29,500, Sushi Maiu

Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant on Seolleungno 93-gil in Gangnam, Seoul, where the plate color sets the price across eight tiers from 2,100 won to 7,500 won. Eating alone at the bar table at 7pm on a weekday, ten plates (twenty pieces) came to 29,500 won, and the salmon plates were the most satisfying. For a solo diner who wants to eat until full while keeping the bill under 30,000 won, Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch does the job well.
