Friday signature set for four at Huto, a Konkuk University izakaya
In short
Huto is an izakaya on the 2nd floor of the bar street in the food alley near Konkuk University, Gwangjin, Seoul. On a Friday evening four adults ordered the signature set (9-piece assorted sashimi plus 6 skewers), Kansai-style oden stew, whole fried squid and 3 beers for 91,000 won in total, paying 79,000 won after a discount, and the whole fried squid was the standout dish to drink beer with. Huto fills up fast, so reserve a table before a Friday night visit.

It's almost the end of Chungmyo season already, so I went out for izakaya food to enjoy the last Friday night haha
We picked Konkuk University's food alley as a halfway meeting spot for Friday evening, and while looking for somewhere tasty and reasonably priced, I found a spot lined up with bars
We got a small discount, but since we actually paid ₩79,000, here's my honest review ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We came to enjoy Friday night, and even though it's on the 2nd floor, it was fully booked. So glad we reserved ahead haha
What to order at Huto
(I couldn't photograph the actual menu board, so I brought in the Naver menu image instead ㅇㅅㅇ)
Since it's an izakaya, the menu is compact — there's a nice variety of stews, sashimi, skewers, and fried dishes
What four people ordered at Huto and the total bill
We went mostly with the signature items ✔️ Four adults (1 man, 3 women) ordered the following‼️
- Signature set (9-piece assorted sashimi + 6 skewers)
- Kansai-style oden stew
- Fried squid
- 3 beers
- ₩91,000 total order haha
The 9-piece assorted sashimi plate
The sashimi came out first — abalone, salmon, sweet shrimp, tuna, fatty tuna, octopus, and white-fleshed fish, 9 kinds in all 🍣🍱
The tuna was the best haha. The salmon and sweet shrimp were also chewy and had way more umami than I expected
The 6 grilled skewers
The 6 skewers included in the set were full of smoky char flavor 🔥
The sauce and cabbage that came alongside were good too. Actually, I showed up late that day so I missed out on some of the skewers and only got to try what was left — a bit disappointing
Whole fried squid, the best dish with beer
With beer, we craved something fried 🍻🍺 so we ordered whole fried squid 🦑
It really came out whole, so we cut it into bite-size pieces with the scissors provided at the table ✂️ This was truly a special treat — the kind of snack that calls for beer hahaha
Kansai-style oden stew (fish cake soup)
The last soup dish was oden stew haha. It has 11 kinds of oden in it, and thanks to the bonito flakes and special sauce, the broth flavor was top-notch 👍🏻
Is Huto worth a Friday night in Konkuk University?
The vibe is cute and cozy, great for chatting!!! All the staff were friendly too, so I'd come back!! The place seemed well managed, and every dish was delicious, which I loved💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
