Today I visited Sadang. I met up with friends from my old job after ages, and haha, I started craving drinks in the afternoon .. so I went looking for an izakaya that opens early and found [Susan Sadang Main Branch]!!!!!
Almost every place opens at 5pm or 6pm, but Susan Sadang Main Branch opens at 3pm, so you can start your alcohol time a little earlier! Also, every bar in Sadang is popular, so if you're even a bit late, finding a seat is basically impossible .. If you're looking for an izakaya that opens early, before 5pm, Susan Sadang Main Branch is just perfect. Let me introduce it!

Gwangban-yukhoe ₩48,000: half flounder, half raw beef, and the side spread
Gwangban-yukhoe, ₩48,000. Half flounder sashimi and half raw beef yukhoe, such an amazing-value menu!!! Lemon, cheongyang chili, sliced garlic, wasabi, chojang (vinegared chili sauce), soy sauce, dried seaweed .. and even aged kimchi with black sesame sauce .. The portions of flounder and yukhoe were huge, and the accompanying spread was just savage. So much fun mixing and matching 💌
The plating is this good too, unbelievable. How could this not make you want to drink.
Of course it makes you want to drink. How do you hold back on alcohol with this side dish ... how do you hold back at a legendary izakaya in Sadang ..
Ankimo maki ₩23,000: a monkfish liver roll you rarely see in Sadang
Ankimo maki, ₩23,000. The craziest one in the block just showed up .. There really aren't many places that serve ankimo maki, and here it is, sitting right there at Susan Sadang Main Branch??!? Is this crazy??? How could you not eat this. Seriously.
It looks like small gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) rolled with seaweed and rice, piled high with ankimo (monkfish liver) and cheese, then torched. Absolutely top-tier, so good ㅠㅠ My friend was trying it for the first time and seemed unsure since it's an acquired taste, but I guarantee people who like it will go crazy for it.
How could you resist this ~? And since they packed the rice in generously, each piece of gimbap is big, so biting into it feels amazing 😇

Side dishes that vanish the second they arrive ㅠㅠㅠ I came in at 3pm and left after two hours of pure happiness .. Aren't you coming to Susan Sadang Main Branch? Why not? Why???
