We enjoyed a Korean beef tartare and sashimi platter, live octopus, and hot radish soup with drinks.

Honestly, even when I've had three full meals and am completely stuffed, yukhoe and sashimi are still delicious. A friend came to visit Suwon Station for the first time in ages, and while looking for a good restaurant-bar around the station, my eyes lit up at the thought of yukhoe!!! ![Interior of Yukhoe Dokjon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-03-f3v7n-900.webp) ![Clean, long and narrow interior at Yukhoe Dokjon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-04-2bkkx-900.webp) ## A clean, long and narrow interior The interior is clean and long and narrow. They say that if the meat used at Yukhoe Dokjon isn't Korean beef, they'll give you 10 Korean cows. Part of me thought, well, it would be fine even if it weren't Korean beef. What really got me excited was that, even though it was early, there was an older gentleman dining alone with yukhoe and soju. There was no way it could be bad. ![Yukhoe Dokjon Korean beef menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-05-1c370-900.webp) ## Are there meal options besides yukhoe? I came only thinking about yukhoe, but I couldn't possibly pass up the sashimi in the Korean beef tartare platter either. Honestly, I couldn't resist the octopus, either. I've forgotten how to resist. Korean beef stir-fried sashimi? It was a menu item I'd never seen before, so I wondered what it would taste like, but the temptation of raw food is hard to resist~ There are Korean beef sushi and yukhoe bibimbap (mixed rice), so it seems great for a solo meal or dinner when you need more than bar food. By the way, every menu item is available for takeout. ![Yukhoe Dokjon menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-06-107mh-900.webp) ## Hot radish soup before the main dishes The radish soup arrived first. Its clean flavor made it the perfect soju snack while waiting for the main dishes. You can keep it hot at the table, and after a bite of cold beef sashimi, one spoonful of hot radish soup warms you right through—then the drinks just keep going. Refills are available too, which is honestly dangerous. ![A full spread of Korean beef sashimi, tartare, and live octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-07-19bxo-900.webp) ## A full table of Korean beef sashimi, tartare, and live octopus Isn't this unreal? A radiant, luxurious spread of Korean beef sashimi, yukhoe, and live octopus. It looked soooo delicious. ![Korean beef tartare platter with tartare and sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-08-1qo5j-900.webp) ### Korean beef tartare platter (tartare + sashimi, for 2) ₩37,000. The freshness of the tartare and sashimi spreads through your mouth the moment you eat them. Cheers to the beef sashimi~ You can dip it deeply into the egg yolk for a wonderfully nutty bite, or eat it as is; either way, the sesame oil fragrance is incredible. It was so good ㅠㅠㅠ I considered pouring in the egg yolk and mixing it all up, but worried it would spill over into the sashimi, so we chose to dip instead. Dip the yukhoe deeply into the sesame dressing that comes with it, add a crisp slice of pear, radish sprouts, and even cheese, and I can confidently say that in that moment, nobody was happier than me. ![Korean beef sashimi served with sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-09-hhy75-900.webp) Dip a piece of beef sashimi deeply in sesame oil, drip drip~~ There was none of the distinctive off smell Korean beef can sometimes have, so even with just the oil sauce, its sweetness and nuttiness exploded. It seriously called for drinks. Cheers, cheers, cheers. The flower of yukhoe, sashimi, and Korean beef had bloomed. In that moment, it was more beautiful than any flower—and the tastiest, too. I have gone looking for good yukhoe around Suwon Station before, but I failed so often that I ended up going for raw fish instead. Now I'm happy to have my own go-to yukhoe spot. ![Live octopus menu for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-10-vh9pe-900.webp) ### Live octopus (for 2) ₩17,000. When you eat yukhoe, nakji tangtangi (chopped live octopus) is automatic. Just like the tartare and sashimi, the octopus was incredibly fresh. Nutty, fresh, and made for drinks—it was the perfect bar snack. ![Live octopus served with beef tartare and sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap-11-kdz4u-900.webp) The live octopus kept wriggling for such a long, long time. It showed off its freshness firsthand. It was so strong that it had no intention of letting go of the chopsticks. Wrap some octopus with the yukhoe and sashimi, almost like a samhap (three-ingredient wrap), and the chewiness and nuttiness double—making the drinks go down so easily. ## Any round of drinks on Suwon Station Rodeo Street Right in the middle of Suwon Station Rodeo Street, it would be great for a first round with yukhoe bibimbap or sushi alongside a meal, and I don't think there is anything better for finding light drinking snacks for a second or third round. They're open until dawn, so you can go no matter how many rounds you're on! This Suwon Station restaurant-bar is the real deal. Whenever I crave fresh Korean beef tartare, beef sashimi, and live octopus in the evening, I feel like I'll have no choice but to head to Yukhoe Dokjon from now on. For a Suwon Station restaurant date, too, wouldn't the calm atmosphere and the food make for a satisfying day? ## Where it is - Yukhoe Dokjon Suwon Station Branch (육회독존 수원역점) - Unit 109, 1F Dream Plaza, 30 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 30 드림프라자 1층109호) - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 30 드림프라자 1층109호 - 37.2684221, 127.0042828 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A1%ED%9A%8C%EB%8F%85%EC%A1%B4%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.2684221,127.0042828,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-round-table/suwon-station-yukhoe-nakji-samhap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
