The small seafood stew, ordered in the spicy version, came with tender whole octopus and boneless anglerfish in a sauce that stayed mild rather than harsh. With a large parking lot and a free public parking coupon, Haemokjeong is an easy choice for a family or couple's lunch. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Small seafood stew (haemuljjim), spicy option available - **Signature dishes**: Spicy pork ribs, boneless anglerfish stew, spicy beef rib stew, abalone seafood hot pot, seafood stew - **Special menu**: Haemokjeong Emperor Special (abalone seafood rib stew + hot pot) - **Side dishes**: Sesame salad, cold jellyfish noodle salad, pickled chili, white kimchi, chives, braised potatoes, seaweed soup - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:50 (break 15:00–16:00, last order 21:00) - **Parking**: Large lot; free public parking coupon provided - **Location**: 2F, 120 Beotkkot-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* There are so many good restaurants clustered around Yeonsu Station that I go there often haha! Today I was craving a spicy seafood stew and the place I visited turned out to be really great! ## Where is Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch, and what does it look like? ![Exterior of the Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch building](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-01-ve9z6-900.webp) ![Sign at the entrance of Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-02-796zb-900.webp) This is Haemokjeong! It's a chain, and the Yeonsu branch is actually the original main branch. ![Notice about Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch's TV appearances](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-03-wf78b-900.webp) ![View of the second-floor entrance at Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-04-11qh6-900.webp) It's been featured on TV and YouTube a lot, so some of you might already know it! I mostly like seafood while my husband is a total meat-eating dinosaur, so picking a menu can be a struggle. When we go somewhere that sells both seafood and meat, though, we don't fight and both end up eating happily! ## Inside Haemokjeong: dining room and menu lineup ![Spacious main hall inside Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-05-1d41c-900.webp) ![Various ginseng liquors on display in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-06-1sxxb-900.webp) The inside of Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch is very spacious, and what stood out was the display of various ginseng liquors — like the place was saying 'we sell healthy food.' Maybe that's why so many of the customers were middle-aged! The signature dishes include spicy pork ribs, boneless anglerfish stew, spicy beef rib stew, abalone seafood hot pot, and seafood stew! If you want pork ribs and seafood together, you can order the seafood rib stew. What really stood out was something called the Haemokjeong Emperor Special — a menu where you can enjoy abalone seafood rib stew and a hot pot at the same time! I saw the table next to us order it and wow, the visual was incredible — I told myself I'd definitely order that next time with family! ## Ordering the small seafood stew in the spicy version ![Menu board for seafood stew and braised rib dishes at Haemokjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-07-m4w0r-900.webp) ![Guide showing how to best enjoy the seafood stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-08-1umky-900.webp) We ordered the small seafood stew, and you can choose a spicy level! Apparently the best way to eat it is to wrap the various seafood with chives, jellyfish noodle salad, and perilla leaves. And when the broth is left over, adding fried rice or noodles to stir-fry is supposed to be great too haha! ![Table already set up for a reserved seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-09-e90jj-900.webp) ![Side dishes including sesame salad and jellyfish noodle salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-10-1brge-900.webp) We had reserved ahead, so maybe that's why our cozy table was all set up when we arrived! There was neat sesame salad, sweet-and-sour jellyfish noodle salad, pickled chili, white kimchi, chives, braised potatoes, and seaweed soup! ![Plate of white kimchi and braised potato side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-11-14pxr-900.webp) ![A full pot of the small seafood stew packed with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-12-1arf1-1200.webp) And the seafood stew came out surprisingly fast!!! It's fully cooked in the kitchen so you just need to reheat it — and since they use a safe induction stove, it seems like a good spot to bring kids too! At a glance you could see it was packed with all kinds of seafood, anglerfish, and gonyi (fish roe sac). Apparently their seafood rib stew won a grand prize award, so I'm even more curious how good it must taste. ![Seafood stew cut into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-13-1e45x-m-900.webp) ![Seafood stew with whole squid and gonyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-14-2nuyh-900.webp) They cut everything into easy-to-eat pieces haha! The whole squid, boneless anglerfish, gonyi, roe, and whole octopus were so fresh and plump — my mouth was watering just watching them cut it. ### How were the whole octopus and boneless anglerfish? ![Close-up of tender, well-cooked whole octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-15-rnf1g-864.webp) ![A moist piece of boneless anglerfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-16-1x43w-823.webp) The octopus was chewier and more tender than I expected — the cooking level was perfect. I don't like tough octopus, but this one was so soft it was really delicious! And the boneless anglerfish was so moist! I eat anglerfish stew a lot, but this one ranked among the best I've had! ![Plate of seafood stew showing whole squid texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-17-yo2w2-790.webp) ![Seafood stew filled with plump roe and gonyi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-18-tr8tl-793.webp) My beloved squid is always good anywhere, but since it was whole squid, the texture was outstanding here too. I also like roe and gonyi, and they were nice and plump. The seasoning wasn't overpowering, so you could really taste the seafood's own flavor — just the right amount of spice and savoriness. I think adults would especially love it, and if you go for the mild option, kids should be able to eat it just fine too! ![Wrapping seafood stew with chives to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-19-c9ju6-900.webp) ![Cold barley tea enjoyed after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-20-3odlo-900.webp) The owner was really kind too, and on our way out we had a refreshing cup of barley tea. ## Parking and opening hours at Haemokjeong Yeonsu ![Spacious parking lot at Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-21-lj6ry-900.webp) ![Sign posted in the restaurant showing business hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch-22-17l3z-900.webp) The parking lot is spacious and they also give out a free public parking coupon, so there's zero parking stress! It was great being able to enjoy such a rich spread of both land and sea delicacies together with the whole family in one place. - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:50 - Break time: 15:00–16:00 - Last order: 21:00 - Open during Chuseok holiday too ## Where it is - Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch (해목정 연수본점) - 2F, 120 Beotkkotro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 연수구 벚꽃로 120 2층 해목정 연수본점 - 37.4169424, 126.6786366 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EB%AA%A9%EC%A0%95%20%EC%97%B0%EC%88%98%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4169424,126.6786366,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-cake-plate/haemokjeong-yeonsu-seafood-jjim-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
