Dining alone at 3pm on a Saturday, the writer ate two plates of Korean beef tartare (yuk-sashimi) sushi along with otoro, sea urchin roe maki and cheese grilled prawn sushi, with plates priced from 2,100 to 7,500 won. Because plates on the rail can be left covered and ordered fresh instead, Sushi Maiu suits a solo meal at an in-between hour. ## Good to know - **Location**: 22 Seolleung-ro 93-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Yeoksam-dong, near Seolleung Station) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-22:00 (last order 21:45) - **Plate prices**: 2,100-7,500 won by plate color - **Seating**: Bar and solo seats along the rail, regular tables further inside - **Parking**: Available - **Signature menu**: Conveyor-belt sushi, lunch set course - **Event**: 13th anniversary: beer and soju 2,500 won (evenings only, after 4pm) - **Takeout**: Available (assorted sushi, popular sushi set, roll sets and more) - **Price reference**: ₩2,100 ≈ $1.6 · ₩7,500 ≈ $5.6 · ₩2,500 ≈ $1.9 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Aug 31, 2026* Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Plates range from ₩2,100 to ₩7,500 depending on color, and they're open daily from 11am to 10pm. I went alone on a Saturday at 3pm. ![Entrance view of Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-01-1ppgt-966.webp) I had errands near Seolleung Station and ended up needing lunch at an awkward hour, so I looked for somewhere nearby to eat solo. My appetite's been acting up lately — I didn't want to eat light, but I also didn't want to eat a ton either.. (make up your mind, self) Then I spotted a conveyor-belt sushi place and walked in. - 📍 Location: 22 Seolleung-ro 93-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - ⏰ Hours: Daily 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:45) - 🚗 Parking: Available - ✔ Signature menu: Conveyor-belt sushi, lunch set course ## Why Sushi Maiu works for a solo meal near Seolleung Station ![Bar-style solo seats in front of the conveyor-belt sushi rail](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-02-ljg1b-966.webp) Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch has an easy, no-pressure setup of bar seats and solo seats along the rail. There are regular table seats too! I went around 3pm on a Saturday, and there were only about two other tables. The place was cozy and quiet — quiet enough that I felt like I was filming Solitary Gourmet haha. I'm pretty much a solo-dining pro, but I still get self-conscious sometimes. There was already another solo diner there though, so this seems like a good spot if you're looking for solo dining near Seolleung Station. ![Seats along the rail with table seating further inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-03-1wiox-966.webp) There's a row of seats running along the rail, and a separate table section further inside. ## Sushi Maiu's rail plates and made-to-order sushi ![Sushi menu board at Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-04-inrl2-966.webp) At Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch the sushi comes around on the belt, but they also give you a separate menu so you can order directly. There's even udon and other meal options, plus some snacks. ![Covered sushi plates circling on the rail](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-05-8pze0-966.webp) They put covers over the sushi on the rail so the fish doesn't dry out. (Relief.) That's always the thing that bugs me at conveyor-belt places. ![Close-up of sushi plates on the rail](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-06-mkwy0-966.webp) When you grab a plate that's been circling for ages, the fish gets dry and loses flavor.. but at Sushi Maiu you don't have to worry about that. ![Chef making sushi in the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-07-1qsg0-966.webp) There's one chef, and you can watch everything he's torching right there — fun to watch. I also liked that they make things fresh to order when you ask. Anything just made goes straight onto the rail quickly. ## Sushi Maiu plate prices in Yeoksam-dong, from 2,100 to 7,500 won ![Sign showing prices by plate color](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-08-1ne8j-966.webp) Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch starts as low as ₩2,100! Besides conveyor-belt sushi, there are rolls, appetizers, and desserts too. Sides too. There's also a lunch set course, so if you're looking for a lunch special at a sushi place in Yeoksam-dong, this is worth noting. Takeout is also available — they've put together their best-selling items separately, like assorted sushi, the popular sushi set, and roll sets, which made it easy to pick. (And delivery orders kept coming in the whole time I was there.) ![Poster for the 13th anniversary drink event](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-09-da0ak-m-966.webp) And right now, for their 13th anniversary event, beer and soju are ₩2,500. But only in the evening, after 4pm! Perfect timing for a solo drink after work.. ## Ordering the Korean beef tartare sushi twice ![A plate of Korean beef tartare sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-10-wvs6h-966.webp) At conveyor-belt sushi places I usually like to try as many different kinds as possible, but I still ended up having two whole plates of Korean beef tartare sushi. ![Close-up of seasoned Korean beef tartare sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-11-f2yqw-966.webp) It's lightly seasoned, and the chewy texture was really good. ![A plate of sushi on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-12-1jtst-966.webp) ![Close-up photo of a sushi plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-13-1l155-966.webp) ![Thick-cut otoro sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-14-3faag-966.webp) The most expensive plate was the otoro. The thickness was on another level — a single piece served on its own little cutting board. It had a real bite to it. ![A plate of sea urchin maki sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-15-13ev3-966.webp) Sea urchin maki. At first I ordered it thinking, wait, what is this..? and it turned out to be sea urchin maki!! haha. ![Sea urchin roe placed on top of maki](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-16-1ykbr-1200.webp) They put the sea urchin right on top of the maki, and I loved how the seaweed aroma and the sea urchin's distinct scent came through together. >< A lot of people can't handle it, but I love sea urchin, so I was satisfied. ![Rich, oily salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-17-zb526-966.webp) The salmon sushi had just the right amount of richness running through it. The rice portions look small, but the fish is sliced just enough to match, so the balance works out well. ![Torch-grilled cheese prawn sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-18-3j1d5-966.webp) ![A plate of cheese grilled salmon roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-19-ywtzq-966.webp) The cheese grilled prawn sushi and the cheese grilled salmon roll are best eaten right when they come out from the torch, while they're still warm. ![Close-up of warm grilled sushi topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-20-1clkk-966.webp) Piled high with cheese, savory, and even though it's sushi, it's warm, which makes it feel that much more filling? You know how some people can only eat cooked fish? Even they could probably eat this. ## Verdict on Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch ![Sushi plates enjoyed while dining alone](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-21-1yfx8-966.webp) ![Stacked conveyor-belt sushi plates on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-22-nnnnk-966.webp) ![Collection of sushi plates at Sushi Maiu Seolleung Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-23-4f6vj-966.webp) ![Seat after finishing a conveyor-belt sushi meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo/seolleung-sushi-maiu-wagyu-uni-solo-24-1c075-966.webp) If you want to eat sushi alone near Seolleung Station, want somewhere quiet to eat at an odd hour, or just want a light sushi meal, this place suits all of that.
