I heard this place has spread by word of mouth among moms in the Hwajeong area, which gave it that feeling of a Japanese restaurant near Hwajeong Station that's been steadily loved for a long time.

What I ordered that day was the special sushi set for ₩31,000 and the flounder belly sushi 3P for ₩10,000. Even though I was eating alone, I wanted proper, delicious sushi, so I went with the special set. On top of that, I added my favorite flounder belly sushi! Even though it was a solo dinner, it felt like I was having a full sushi spread, so I was fully hyped 😳

![The special sushi set made up of a variety of types](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook-18-100dt-966.webp)

![Sushi topped with thick cuts of sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook-19-1aral-966.webp)

The set had a nice variety of sushi, so it was fun picking through one by one — and honestly, seeing sushi laid out like this all at once just makes me happy 🍣 The sashimi-topped pieces in particular had good thickness and looked really appetizing, and the rice-to-fish ratio was just right. Even though I came alone,

![Close-up of the special sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook/hwajeong-station-solo-sushi-minkook-21-yzriz-966.webp)

I got to try a bunch of different types of sushi in one sitting, so I was glad I went with the special set. If you're someone like me who likes to eat a little bit of everything, this would suit you well.

## Adding flounder belly sushi, 3 pieces for 10,000 won

The flounder belly sushi 3P I added on separately — that was ₩10,000. If you like flounder, you know the belly has its own charm compared to regular flounder sushi haha. I love flounder belly too, so I felt like it'd be a shame to stop at just the special set, and ordering the extra was worth it — I could really taste that signature chewy texture of flounder belly, and it was delicious 🤍

With every bite, I could really feel the texture of the fish on top of the rice, which made me glad I'd ordered the extra. And since it was just 3 pieces, it was a manageable amount to work into the special set as I went along.
