Visiting on a weekday evening at 6pm with a friend, a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window brought today's aged sashimi with thickly sliced salmon and two highballs, generous enough to savor slowly. With a 2nd-floor bar and window seating plus a spacious 3rd floor, it works well for a date or a night out with a group. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, 12 Hangang-daero 54-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (Yongridan-gil, Sinyongsan) - **Ordering**: Table QR code ordering - **Seating**: 2nd-floor bar and window seats, plenty of hall seating on the 3rd floor - **Waiting**: Waiting list posted at the entrance - **Order**: Today's aged sashimi, two highballs - **Visit time**: Weekday around 6pm *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* My friend and I were looking for a good-vibe bar in Yongridan-gil and ended up at Hatpiendo, where you can enjoy aged sashimi and highballs! 🐟🍹 We went around 6pm on a weekday, and the seats kept filling up as time went on? Guess it's a hot spot even on weekdays... -`♥´- Lots of people were there on dates too — the floor-to-ceiling windows keep it from feeling cramped, and the overall vibe is great. I get why it's popular! ( •̀∀•́ )✧ The inside was way bigger than it looked from outside. Seats were packed not just on the 2nd floor but the 3rd floor too, so among Yongridan-gil bars, this looked like a solid pick for a group visit too! - Hatpiendo's location and exterior - 2nd and 3rd floor interior vibes - Today's aged sashimi and highballs - Honest review ![Main image from a visit to Hatpiendo, a bar in Yongridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-01-1k6u8-900.webp) ## Hatpiendo's location and exterior — close to Sinyongsan Station ![Exterior of the Hatpiendo building in Yongridan-gil, Sinyongsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-02-19a3o-900.webp) ![View of the alley leading to Hatpiendo's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-03-cqyyg-900.webp) Hatpiendo is located in Yongridan-gil, so it's a great bar for grabbing drinks with a friend near Sinyongsan or heading here for a date. It's close to the station too, good good. We'd been at Café Heuk right before, so it was only a 10-minute walk over. From the entrance, it already felt less like a plain sashimi restaurant and more like an aesthetic bar. * ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊ ![Menu displayed at Hatpiendo's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-04-4fqog-1200.webp) ![Sign listing dishes that pair well with drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-05-1sp1o-900.webp) You could check the menu right by the entrance, and there were plenty of dishes like today's aged sashimi that go great with drinks. ## 2nd and 3rd floor interior vibes — way bigger than expected ![Waiting list posted at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-06-j43vm-900.webp) There was a waiting list right by the door. Seems like it'd get packed on weekends!!! ![View of the seating on Hatpiendo's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-07-716i3-900.webp) The 2nd floor has both bar seats and window-side seating. ![Bar seats and window seating on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-08-1a5bp-900.webp) ![2nd-floor table by the floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-09-1u7s1-m-900.webp) ![2nd-floor interior lit up in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-10-1283c-900.webp) The floor-to-ceiling window made the space feel even more open, and once evening lighting kicked in, it turned into a surprisingly great date atmosphere...🙈 I sat right by the window, and honestly the bar seats had great vibes too ٩꒰｡•◡•｡꒱۶ Everyone really does come here on dates.. >.< There really were a lot of couples there, but it wasn't too dark or too loud, so it was also nice for chatting and drinking with a friend. ![Aesthetic decor and seating inside Hatpiendo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-11-61sso-900.webp) ![3rd-floor hall with tables spaced widely apart](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-12-1x5g0-900.webp) ![3rd-floor seating area with lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-13-16u6i-900.webp) And Hatpiendo's 3rd floor is genuinely spacious! Even in photos you can tell there are a ton of tables, right? Going up there, I was surprised at how much bigger it was than I expected haha After visiting at 6pm on a weekday, the crowd kept growing, but with plenty of seating up to the 3rd floor, the place never felt small. Aesthetic little props scattered around too, so overall it felt both comfortable and pretty. ### The bathroom was clean too The bathroom was kept nice and clean. That's something I quietly care about when visiting a bar, so good good on that front too! ![Clean, well-kept bathroom interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-14-va6xt-900.webp) ![Aesthetic bathroom sink area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-15-1if9i-900.webp) ![Detail of the bathroom interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-16-hnvdd-m-900.webp) Isn't the bathroom kind of aesthetic too? Hahahaha ## Ordering is simple with a table QR code Ordering was done via a QR code on the table. It was convenient because you didn't need to flag down staff — you could browse the menu at your own pace and order right from your seat. We ordered today's aged sashimi and two highballs. ![Two highballs on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-17-1as2q-900.webp) ![Drinking a highball by the window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-18-11mlp-900.webp) Having a highball with a friend in such a nice space made me really satisfied with our choice that day! ## Today's aged sashimi — the salmon was thick Finally, today's aged sashimi arrived! The plating was clean, and it came with several types of sashimi, perfect as a side for highballs. ![Plate of today's aged sashimi, plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-19-i3y0v-900.webp) ![Aged sashimi platter with several kinds of fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-20-1hm0a-900.webp) The salmon especially was sliced nice and thick, which I loved... whew. 🌟The slices weren't thin and small — they were thick, so it felt like a proper serving, and not just the salmon but all the other sashimi was delicious too.🌟 We both loved it so much that it felt almost a shame to eat fast, so we savored each piece haha ![Close-up of thickly sliced aged salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-21-1ginh-900.webp) ![Gim (seaweed) served alongside the sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-22-1ijho-900.webp) ![Wrapping sashimi in gim to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-23-8ysce-900.webp) It's delicious just eating the sashimi alone, but since it came with gim (seaweed sheets), wrapping the sashimi in it was great too! They even quietly showed us how to eat it best 👏🏻 We ordered just one plate of sashimi, but with several different ways to eat it, we enjoyed it all the way through without getting bored. ## Honest review of Hatpiendo, a Yongridan-gil bar ![Empty sashimi plate and glasses after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball-24-1wad5-900.webp) *All finished, haha* Visiting Hatpiendo with a friend on a weekday evening, we were happy with the atmosphere, the food, and the friendliness all around. The staff were really kind, and my friend seemed overall satisfied too. -`♥´- > Above all, it's an aesthetic space with floor-to-ceiling windows, so it suits anyone looking for a date spot in Yongridan-gil, and the 3rd floor seating was way bigger than expected, making it a good option for visiting with a bunch of friends too. Today's aged sashimi had thick-cut salmon and the other sashimi was delicious too, so much that we savored every piece — if you like sashimi, I'd recommend it. Even the bathroom was clean, and honestly there wasn't much to complain about that day. If you're looking for a good-vibe bar in Yongridan-gil where you can enjoy aged sashimi with highballs, give Hatpiendo a try :) ## Where it is - Hatpiendo (핫피엔도) - 12 Hangang-daero 54-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2F - 서울특별시 용산구 한강대로54길 12 2층 - 37.5326176, 126.97223 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%AB%ED%94%BC%EC%97%94%EB%8F%84/@37.5326176,126.97223,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coaster-after-work/hoppy-endo-yongridan-aged-sashimi-highball/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
