From a bar seat facing the grill, the meal ran through a seafood platter with aged sashimi and scallops and a spicy Korean beef hormone nabe, with plating and atmosphere just as good as the food. Tatsu Robatasho feels like a night out in Japan and suits a special-occasion drink. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Weekdays 17:00–24:00 / Sat–Sun 16:30–24:00 - **Valet parking**: 5,000 won for 2 hours - **Corkage**: Up to 1 bottle, only for guests with reservations before 8 PM - **Corkage fee**: Wine/sake: 30,000 won in the hall, 50,000 won in a room / champagne 50,000 won / whisky 80,000 won - **Menu**: Sea urchin platter — market price - **Menu**: Charcoal-grilled kushiyaki, 6 kinds — 4.0 (as printed on the menu) - **Menu**: Shime saba stick sushi — 3.2 (as printed on the menu) - **Price reference**: ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 · ₩30,000 ≈ $22.5 · ₩50,000 ≈ $37 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* While looking for good restaurants near Sinsa Station, I visited the izakaya Tatsu Robatasho. I heard it's the second brand from Tatsu Hannam. The moment I walked in, I was totally overwhelmed by how upscale and distinctive the atmosphere felt. Apparently a lot of celebrities visit, and it's known as one of actor Kang Dong-won's regular haunts.

Watching the chef cook and each item get grilled over charcoal right in front of you made it so much more special. I kept taking photos.. it was just too good 💟 ![Izakaya interior atmosphere viewed from the bar seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-03-1c6cz-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Tatsu Robatasho, and the corkage rules Tatsu Robatasho has an incredibly wide menu — types of charcoal robatayaki, nabe (hot pot), fried dishes, and more.

The plating is just gorgeous, right? The sashimi was well-aged with a chewy texture, and the scallops were sweet and soft. The stone sea squirt and abalone were fresh with no fishy taste at all, making them a really satisfying pairing for drinks. Each piece had a different flavor, which made it great to enjoy slowly. ![Seafood platter with stone sea squirt, abalone, and sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-11-w6tjk-900.webp) ![Seafood platter with stone sea squirt, abalone, and sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-12-1fd0c-m-900.webp) You all have to come here. The vibe is insane ㅜㅜ ![Dining scene in the atmospheric izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-13-s185x-900.webp) ㅠㅠㅠ so delicious and so pretty 💟 ![Process of preparing a seafood dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-14-1fz4r-900.webp) Getting a live preview of our dish being made 🍣 ## Spicy but deep: the Korean beef hormone nabe, with udon noodles added The nabe (hot pot) got richer the longer it simmered. It was packed with Korean beef hormone, giving it a savory depth, and the broth was spicy but more about umami than harsh heat — I couldn't stop going back for more. ![Spicy Korean beef hormone nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-15-qgydu-900.webp) Eating the chewy hormone with the vegetables made me want a drink automatically! ![Nabe with hormone and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-16-1p165-900.webp) ![Nabe with hormone and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-17-1lh07-900.webp) We also added udon noodles, and they were really good. Recommended!! ![Hormone nabe with added udon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-18-1ib47-900.webp) While eating the sea urchin platter (market price), watching it being made was also a work of art.. it's fun just to watch, so I snapped a photo ![Process of preparing the sea urchin platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-19-1we2r-900.webp) This is the charcoal-grilled kushiyaki, 6 kinds (4.0). The quality was insane. I'm planning to try that one next time haha ![Charcoal-grilled kushiyaki, 6 kinds](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-20-118rt-m-900.webp) Everything looks great in photos and the atmosphere is just so good... ![Atmospheric scene inside the izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-21-wfwlo-900.webp) This is the shime sama hand rolls (3.2). The quality is really good, right? It felt like you couldn't go wrong with any item on the menu. ## Worth a return trip: a Sinsa izakaya that feels like Japan 💟 If you're looking for an izakaya with great atmosphere in Sinsa, I really recommend Tatsu Robatasho. It's a great fit for dates, and just as fitting for a drink on a special occasion. The biggest draw of this place is definitely sitting at the bar counter and watching the irori-style cooking happen right in front of you. Atmosphere, taste, and plating — Tatsu Robatasho near Sinsa Station delivered on all of it. ![Closing scene of the meal at Tatsu Robatasho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu-22-1ym0a-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Tatsu Robatasho (타츠 로바타쇼) - 16 Gangnam-daero 154-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F, Unit 101) - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로154길 16 지상1층 101호 - 37.5176842, 127.0205539 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%80%EC%B8%A0%20%EB%A1%9C%EB%B0%94%ED%83%80%EC%87%BC/@37.5176842,127.0205539,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@highball-doorway/sinsa-robata-bar-seat-tatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
