My friend and I went looking for a good restaurant near Hwajeong Station today, and I'm here to share my review of Min Cook Dasima (민쿡다시마)! It's a sushi restaurant run by a master chef with 25 years of experience, so I went in with high expectations just from the name. Hearing it was selected as a '100-year store' made me even more curious.
What is the space like at Min Cook Dasima?
Min Cook Dasima is located on the 2nd floor. The moment I opened the door and walked in, I was surprised — the space was genuinely spacious.
The interior had a café vibe, so it felt more like a cozy café than a sushi restaurant.
The tables were also spaced generously apart, so it wasn't stuffy and I could eat comfortably. It was perfect for catching up with my friend at ease after a while. I usually prefer quiet, calm spaces over noisy, bustling restaurants, and this place suited that preference perfectly, haha^^

Isn't it pretty? Looking down from the 2nd floor while eating makes the sushi taste even sweeter.

What comes with the 25,000-won sushi set meal?
I ordered the sushi set meal (25,000 won), and my friend ordered the same thing.
The sushi came with a satisfying, generous spread, and the rice had a nice chewy bite. Both the salmon and tuna were fresh, and the steamed egg was soft and melted in my mouth. The portion size was good too — the sushi pieces weren't small, so we left full. Ooh, the shrimp tempura — just looking at the photo makes me want more, hahaha.
And since it happened to be a review event, we got 3 pieces of shrimp tempura for free, which we ate alongside the sushi. It was crispy outside and moist inside, and paired with the sushi it felt like a hearty meal. The batter wasn't thick, so it didn't feel greasy at all.

Prices ranged widely from 13,000 won to over 30,000 won, so it seemed easy to choose depending on group size or budget.

The hoedeopbap (raw fish rice bowl) dishes in particular were reasonably priced, so they'd be great for a light meal too. The little decor pieces placed around the restaurant felt thoughtfully chosen, making it a decent spot for photos too. I fell for the sushi's taste, and I fell for the atmosphere.
Next time I go, I think I'll try the hoedeopbap dishes I haven't tried yet.^^ haha Honestly, I want to try everything. I'll work my way through the menu one visit at a time. Today's food tour was a success again.
Overall, it was a satisfying visit — spacious and cozy atmosphere, a generously packed sushi set, and the shrimp tempura on top. My friend liked it enough to say we should come again.
