The writer and her partner shared the small aged sashimi platter (for 2), cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles) and clam odeng (fish cake) soup at Suksseong Susan, then finished their Jongno date with a walk along Cheonggyecheon. With every seat in a separated private space and free corkage, Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch turned out better than expected for a date or a dinner meetup. ## Good to know - **Address**: 3rd floor, 16 Samil-daero 19-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:00–23:30, weekends 12:00–23:30 - **Corkage**: Free corkage - **Lunch**: Lunch menu available - **Seating**: Every seat is in a separated, private space - **What we ordered**: Small aged sashimi platter (for 2), cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu, clam odeng soup *as written by the visitor on Oct 9, 2026* ![First photo of the visit to Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-01-b1ua6-900.webp) *Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch* Today's post is about a Jongno outing, my first in a long while. My partner and I ate delicious aged sashimi at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch (숙썽수산 종로본점) and then strolled along Cheonggyecheon. It was a perfect date course. We had great aged sashimi plus other dishes in a private space, and I only just found out that corkage is free! The restaurant is Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch. As the name suggests, it's a great aged sashimi spot. But... the other dishes are all delicious too. (Warning: the drinks go down way too easily!!) ## Where is Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch, and what are its hours? Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch is at 16 Samil-daero 19-gil, 3rd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It's open 11:00–23:30 on weekdays and 12:00–23:30 on weekends. Corkage is free, so you can bring your favorite bottle. ![Basic information photo for Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-02-glsxv-900.webp) *Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch* Unlike a typical drinking place, it has a lunch menu, so it opens at 11:00 on weekdays and 12:00 on weekends. I bet lots of office workers around Jongno come here for lunch. ## What's the atmosphere at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch, and is it good for a date? The restaurant has an upscale feel and every seat is a privately separated space, so it's great for a date or a dinner meetup. I was surprised three times in a row: by the upscale atmosphere when I walked in, by the fact that every seat is separated, and by how kind the staff were. ![Inside Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-03-1bxgo-900.webp) Honestly, with a name like Suksseong Susan, I assumed it would be a casual, free-spirited pocha (Korean street-style pub) vibe?! But I think it's perfect for a dinner meetup or date. It would also suit a relaxed drink on a blind date. This ajumma (middle-aged woman) is thrilled to be at such a fancy place after so long. ![Private seating at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-04-u1xh0-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere of Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-05-10guh-900.webp) ![Interior decor of Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-06-1i1l0-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch The must-order here is the aged sashimi, of course :) This day we ordered the three dishes below. - Small aged sashimi set (for 2) - Cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles) - Clam odeng (fish cake) soup Everything probably tastes good, but I was really looking forward to the clam odeng soup. Clams are a premium ingredient, right? I expected a properly refreshing broth. ![Ordering at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-07-12rjb-900.webp) ![Table spread of the dishes ordered at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-08-1hifd-900.webp) ### Small aged sashimi set (for 2): sea bream, salmon, flounder, bluefin tuna The small aged sashimi set for 2 is a high-quality spread with sea bream, salmon, flounder, bluefin tuna and more. I honestly never knew much about aged sashimi, but well-aged fish really does have a different flavor and texture!? ![Suksseong Susan small aged sashimi set for 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-09-zuthb-900.webp) ![Aged sea bream, salmon, flounder and bluefin tuna sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-10-49zf9-900.webp) ![Close-up of the small aged sashimi set for 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-11-1ifxm-900.webp) ![A piece of aged sashimi at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-12-1pnmn-1200.webp) ### Cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu: the dish that revived our appetite The cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu was the dish that revived our appetite that day. My partner wasn't feeling great, but after this noodle dish and the clam odeng soup, they perked right up. The fresh cuttlefish and the spicy-sweet mixing sauce of the perilla-oil noodles really wake up your appetite. ![Suksseong Susan cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-13-15kt8-m-900.webp) ![Mixing sauce for the cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-14-1irzf-900.webp) ![Mixing the cuttlefish perilla-oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-15-14ca4-900.webp) ![Fresh cuttlefish and perilla-oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-16-uats2-900.webp) ![A bite of Suksseong Susan cuttlefish makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-17-15vyf-900.webp) ![Table with makguksu and aged sashimi at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-18-sjy5l-900.webp) ### Clam odeng soup: a hot soup to finish The clam odeng soup is a steaming hot soup that's just right to finish after the aged sashimi and cuttlefish makguksu. Seriously.. a broth that makes the drinks go down so easily. And even while drinking, the cool clam broth made me feel like I was sobering up. Please try the clam odeng soup... The portion is generous too. ![Suksseong Susan clam odeng soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-19-a9mua-900.webp) ![Generous clam odeng soup broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-20-1uvkg-900.webp) ## Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch review: for dates, blind dates and dinner meetups Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch was 100%, no, 200% better than I expected. The food is good as a given, the portions are big, and it's a private, upscale drinking spot, so I recommend it for dinner meetups, dates and blind dates. Corkage is free, so feel free to bring a bottle you love :) ![Closing photo of the visit to Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-21-rq3qw-900.webp) ![Meal table at Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-22-j4x9q-900.webp) ![Review photo from Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-23-13roh-m-900.webp) Delicious aged sashimi at Suksseong Susan, then a Cheonggyecheon walk to finish. It was such a happy Jongno outing. The end. ![Cheonggyecheon walk to end the Jongno outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date-24-tomhp-900.webp) ## Where it is - Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch (숙썽수산 종로본점) - 16 Samil-daero 19-gil, 3rd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 삼일대로19길 16 3층 - 37.5696614, 126.9867721 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%99%EC%8D%BD%EC%88%98%EC%82%B0%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5696614,126.9867721,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@city-menu/jongno-aged-sashimi-cheonggyecheon-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
