The seafood platter came as one full spread of abalone, whelk, octopus, shrimp, stone sea squirt, sea squirt and cockles, with warm seaweed soup and seaweed as the basic sides, and the perilla oil buckwheat noodles ordered to finish were nutty and satisfying. Parang Haenyeojip is a good pick for late-night seafood and a glass of soju in Jongno. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 37 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul — 3-minute walk from Exit 4 of Jongak Station - **Hours (Sun–Thu)**: 16:00–01:30 the next day (last order 00:30) - **Hours (Fri–Sat)**: 16:00–02:00 the next day (last order 01:00) - **What we ordered**: Seafood platter, perilla oil buckwheat noodles - **Seating**: Reserved and group tables available; spacious dining room - **Extra orders**: Side dishes and sauces can be reordered at the kiosk *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* If you've read my blog before you already know I'm a total seafood and raw fish lover haha… I was searching all over Jongno for seafood when I found "Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch," which serves a seriously loaded seafood platter!

Still, the place itself is spacious so it seemed like it could hold a lot of people. Once it hit peak time a little past 6:30, it filled up fast — I'd recommend booking ahead like I did! There was an ocean visual playing on a screen, which made the vibe of the place even better! A really nice atmosphere for a date. ## The seafood platter: abalone, whelk, octopus, stone sea squirt and cockles ![Warm seaweed soup and seaweed served as basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-14-azmz2-900.webp) I can't eat cold food right off the bat, so I was really glad this warm seaweed soup came out as a basic side dish Seaweed is also a basic side! This is a hidden gem — dipped in vinegared gochujang it works perfectly as a drinking snack too kekeke And finally, the star of the show, the seafood platter, arrived Abalone, whelk, octopus, shrimp, stone sea squirt, sea squirt, and cockles.. it came packed full of seafood you'd only ever hear praised as delicious anywhere you go ![Seafood platter with abalone, whelk, octopus and sea squirt](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-15-nu64e-900.webp) ![Overhead view of the full seafood platter spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-16-q354s-900.webp) Even from above it looks so impressive.. The steamed whelk came with its innards still attached, and the nutty flavor along with that distinctively chewy texture is the signature here Such a big, plump octopus — I'm always used to eating leftover, cold octopus from ancestral rites, so eating it freshly steamed and still warm was clearly a totally different experience ![Close-up of the big, plump steamed octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-17-wdhbb-900.webp) Next up, stone sea squirt! Honestly I figured regular sea squirt would show up, but I didn't expect this precious stone sea squirt to be included too. You scoop out the contents inside the stone sea squirt first and then there's a special little joy in mixing the leftover seawater inside with a shot of soju ![Stone sea squirt with seawater still inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-18-zbgb7-900.webp) The chewy live abalone came drizzled with sesame oil sauce — nutty and fresh, and honestly I think live abalone beats steamed abalone every time ![Live abalone drizzled with sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-19-t5ynx-900.webp) The cockles came topped with a seasoning sauce, and maybe because the sauce wasn't too strong, the standout fresh cockle flavor still came through underneath the light seasoning — I could really tell they manage their ingredients well here 🤤 ![Cockles topped with a light seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-20-1r87c-900.webp) ![Seafood enjoyed together with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-21-1ytl2-900.webp) Every single piece was the perfect soju pairing.. I couldn't hold back and ended up overdrinking 😵 ## Finishing with perilla oil buckwheat noodles I have this rule where drinking always gives me a carb craving, so I have to eat something starchy at the end ![Perilla oil buckwheat noodles ordered to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-22-13sh0-900.webp) I got hooked on perilla oil buckwheat noodles on a recent trip to Gangneung, so I ordered it right away ![Perilla oil buckwheat noodles piled with seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-23-19c4h-900.webp) The whole point of perilla oil buckwheat noodles is that perilla aroma, right? It smelled so nutty I wondered if they were using a really good perilla oil, and it came piled with seaweed flakes too — the perfect dish to cleanse your palate! ![Signature seafood platter photo from Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles-24-16v2w-1200.webp) If you're out around Jongno or Jongak and want to properly enjoy fresh raw fish and seafood in the evening? I'd recommend heading straight to "Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch." Especially the seafood platter and the perilla oil buckwheat noodles — the prices are reasonable considering the quality, so it's a great place to really indulge ☺️🤍 ## Where it is - Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch (파랑해녀집 종로본점) - 37 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - 서울특별시 종로구 우정국로2길 37 1층 - 37.5696222, 126.9851431 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%8C%EB%9E%91%ED%95%B4%EB%85%80%EC%A7%91%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5696222,126.9851431,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-and-space/jonggak-seafood-platter-perilla-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
