Enguawa isn't on the belt, so just ask the chef

At Sushi Ianen Nowon Station, the tuna sashimi and flounder fin (enguawa) aren't on the belt, so I asked the chef for them. The enguawa was seriously good, so rich and nutty that the flavor bursts in your mouth.

Lots of shrimp sushi, and wasabi on the side

I loved that Sushi Ianen Nowon Station has so many kinds of shrimp sushi. The sushi here comes without wasabi, so you add your own to taste, which makes it a good Nowon spot to visit with kids too.

There's grilled shrimp, and there's also sushi with shrimp brushed with a sweet sauce on top of egg sushi. Overall the sauces at Sushi Ianen are great, so a lot of the sauced sushi is really tasty.

The soy sauce shrimp sushi wasn't salty and was delicious. It would have been even better with a beer! There's also bacon shrimp and plenty of torched sushi, and with this many shrimp varieties alone, I got to enjoy all sorts of tasty sushi.

A kid-friendly set: vinegared shrimp, egg and tofu pouch

The three-in-one plate of vinegared shrimp sushi, egg sushi and inari (tofu pouch) sushi is a good combo when you visit this Nowon sushi spot with a child. The signature sushi comes with 3 pieces on the plate, and even with 3 pieces it's still ₩1,990!

Warm yukhoe tataki sushi: I ate 3 plates

Sushi Ianen Nowon Station also has torched sushi and shellfish. The yukhoe tataki (seasoned raw beef) sushi was so good, and served warm, that I ate 3 plates.

Signature seaweed shrimp sea urchin sushi, also ₩1,990

I ordered 2 pieces of the signature seaweed shrimp sea urchin sushi (gamtae saeu uni) from the chef at Sushi Ianen, a conveyor sushi favorite in Nowon, and they gave me the 2 pieces in 2 separate bowls. Even pricey sea urchin sushi is ₩1,990 a plate here, so you can enjoy lots of premium sushi without worrying about price.

Salmon sushi and freshly grilled eel sushi

Of course you have to eat salmon sushi at a sushi place. Sushi Ianen has raw salmon and also salmon topped with onion and sauce, so the variety is really wide. The eel sushi is grilled to order, so eating it piping hot was even better.

Is the belt already full right after opening?

Sushi Ianen Nowon Station opens at 11:30 a.m. I came shortly after opening and the seats were already almost full. Even at opening time, plenty of different kinds of sushi were already made and circling on the belt.

Pickled ginger and the like are at your seat so you can take as much as you want. The staff bring the soup, and when you want a refill, just ask and they keep filling it with warm soup.

Time event: free udon or cold soba

Here's the event info for Sushi Ianen. If you visit between 11:30 and 12:00 or between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. and eat 10 or more plates, you get a free bowl of udon or cold soba (naengmomil). Ten plates of sushi is easy, so visiting at those times gets you udon or soba too.

I came at 11:40 and got a free bowl of cold soba. Next to the sushi plates, the bowl looked huge, and I was amazed by a portion and quality you'd never expect from a freebie. It even had shrimp tempura on top, so the sushi and soba together were so good.
