Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch is a seafood restaurant in Jongno, Seoul, serving low-temperature-aged sashimi and seafood dishes. I paired a small aged-sashimi platter with red snow crab innards cream croquettes, blue crab roe soup, gamtae, and vinegared rice. Verdict: a repeat-worthy spot for an aged-sashimi spread in Jongno.
Golmokjip Galbisal Yeonsinnae Main Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Eunpyeong, Seoul. I tried the Golmokjip Value Assortment of beef rib meat, pork neck, and pork belly over fierce charcoal, plus doenjang-jjigae. Verdict: a strong pick when you want both beef and pork.
Eolkeunhan Ppyeo Haejangguk Suwon Ingye Branch is a Korean restaurant in Ingye-dong, Suwon, Gyeonggi, serving spicy pork bone soup and pork bone hot pot. Its Eolkeunhan level had four large bones, plenty of meat, and a broth about as hot as Buldak Bokkeum Tang Myeon. Verdict: a terrific spot for a fiery hangover meal or an evening drink snack.
Manmok is a Japanese restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, near Seolleung Station. The charcoal-grilled eel rice bowl and thick sliced beef brisket hot pot came with thoughtful reserved-table service, roomy seating, and complimentary corkage. Verdict: Manmok is a polished pick for a date or an important group dinner.
