For a birthday dinner, I had the ₩35,000 course, Southeast Asian-style shrimp noodle soup, a dry Matgim Highball, and seasonal strawberry ade at the bar.

Matgim prepares its food with the thought, “Leave the menu to us, come in, and relax while enjoying the atmosphere and your time.” 🤍 They make everything with care, from sauces to every last seasoning, so I arrived full of anticipation 🥰 ## Matgim information and menu ![Matgim store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-01-39les-900.webp) 📍 Location 129, 1F, 788 Seogot-ro, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, South Korea ⏰ Hours 18:00–24:00 Last order 23:00 Closed every Tuesday ![Matgim location and hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-02-1bb2m-900.webp) 🚗 Parking 2 hours free in the building parking lot ![Matgim building parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-03-1ahur-900.webp) 📋 Menu ![Matgim omakase and drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-04-146ei-900.webp) - Per person (5–6 dishes) ₩35,000 - Per person (7–8 dishes) ₩50,000 - Southeast Asian-style shrimp noodle soup ₩8,000 - Wine by the glass ₩10,000 - Wine by the bottle (choose directly in the wine room) ₩70,000–₩150,000 - Suntory Premium Draft Beer ₩9,000 - Matgim Highball ₩8,000 - Yamanoka (shochu) ₩10,000 - Sekitoba (sweet potato soju) ₩10,000 - Hendrick’s (gin and tonic) ₩12,000 - Whisky (single malt/bourbon/peat/cognac) ₩13,000–₩25,000 - Seasonal ade ₩9,000 ## The open kitchen from the bar table ![Matgim bar tables and dining tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-05-rswp2-900.webp) There were bar seats and tables for four, but I reserved the bar table for that omakase feeling 😁 ![Wine display blending with the interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-06-1bnax-900.webp) The wines displayed along one side worked so nicely with the interior—it had such a lovely atmosphere 🧡 ![Matgim wine room](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-07-pkpet-900.webp) There’s also a wine room, and apparently it has a photo spot inside too 📸 ![Wine room with a photo spot](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-08-14uxi-900.webp) ![Bar seating facing the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-09-jpjss-900.webp) Because the kitchen is open, I could watch the chef preparing the food right in front of me, enjoying both the fun of watching and the fun of eating at once 😆 ## My September ₩35,000 omakase order I ordered the ₩35,000 omakase with five to six dishes, plus Matgim shrimp noodle soup, a Matgim Highball, and seasonal ade!! - ₩35,000 omakase: fig & tofu cream cheese, grilled young cabbage, tripe taco, daily pasta, pork tenderloin steak, plum granita - ₩50,000 omakase: fig & tofu cream cheese, grilled young cabbage, tripe taco, daily pasta, Swedish meatballs, flat iron steak & herb chimichurri, plum granita ### Fig & tofu cream cheese ![Fig and tofu cream cheese appetizer](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-10-1kzja-900.webp) The appetizer was a salad with seasonal figs and plums, arugula, and house-made tofu cream cheese! ![Salad with plums and arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-11-1i3jl-900.webp) Since the cream cheese was made from tofu, it was nutty and not at all heavy!! Personally, I loved that it didn’t have the distinctive tang of regular cream cheese 😊 The tart plum, sweet fig, and arugula came together perfectly as an appetite-opening appetizer 🤍 ### How was the signature grilled young cabbage? ![Grilled young cabbage topped with cheese and bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-12-1wk37-900.webp) Next came Matgim’s signature grilled young cabbage!! Topped with cheese, bacon, scallions, and salsa, it really brought out the cabbage’s flavor 👍👍 I was especially impressed that the young cabbage itself became sweeter the more I chewed—perhaps because they select only good ingredients 😋 It was a dish that immediately showed how much care the chef puts into every ingredient choice 💚 ### Tripe taco ![Doenjang-based tripe taco](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-13-1k7b9-900.webp) After the grilled cabbage came a taco topped with doenjang (fermented soybean paste)-based tripe, a special sauce with a wasabi-like kick, and fragrant cilantro 🌮 The cilantro wasn’t overpowering; it just gently tied the flavors together, so even people who usually avoid cilantro can enjoy this light, clean dish without strong likes or dislikes 😁 ### Daily pasta with a hint of truffle ![Short pasta with truffle and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-14-1htvm-900.webp) The daily pasta that followed wasn’t the long noodles we usually imagine, but a Southern Italian-style short pasta! With truffle and three kinds of mushrooms, the subtle truffle aroma really got my appetite going 🍄🟫 After mixing it so the sauce, pasta, and mushrooms came together well, I scooped up a generous spoonful. The nutty flavor filling my mouth, the rich mushroom texture, and the truffle flavor that lingered without being too much were honestly the best combination ✨ ### The tender pork tenderloin steak ![Sous vide pork tenderloin steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-15-1dv9q-900.webp) Here’s the highlight: pork tenderloin steak 😋 It was sous vide, so it was incredibly tender with no toughness at all! ![Pork tenderloin steak with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-16-1gabc-900.webp) The accompaniments neatly lifted what could have been a simple meat flavor, making it even more delicious 🧡 ### Southeast Asian-style shrimp noodle soup ![Southeast Asian-style shrimp noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-17-1hpr9-900.webp) Reimagined with Matgim’s own recipe, the shrimp noodle soup had a subtle curry aroma and an exotic Southeast Asian-style savoriness, and it was even tastier than I expected 👍 I was already quite full from the course, but its distinctive deep broth never became tiring, so I happily finished every last noodle 😋 It’s a special dish I would have been sad to miss! ### Plum granita for dessert ![Plum granita topped with Shine Muscat grape jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-18-5np2k-900.webp) This crisp, refreshing, sherbet-like granita was topped with bouncy Shine Muscat grape jelly, and the chewy texture was so appealing 👍 The plum’s signature sweet-and-tart flavor neatly refreshed my palate ✨ ### Matgim Highball & seasonal ade ![Unsweetened Matgim Highball](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-19-1ty1m-900.webp) The Matgim Highball was also far more satisfying than I expected! Unlike the sweet highballs I usually drink, it was a dry style with no sweetness at all! Strangely enough, it didn’t have a strong, bitter alcohol taste, so it went down clean and light 🍹🍸 ![Seasonal ade with strawberry pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-20-174dm-900.webp) The seasonal ade was a strawberry ade full of freshness 🍓 It didn’t taste like something quickly made with artificial commercial ade syrup; there were actual strawberry pieces to chew, which made the texture completely different. I could taste the fruit’s natural sweetness, and it left my mouth clean rather than coated after drinking it 🥰 ## Why it’s also good for second or third rounds ![Matgim drinks and snack selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date-21-aj1yb-900.webp) Matgim is great for a meal, but here’s why it also works for second or third-round drinks ‼️ Depending on how full you are, they lower the per-person price and offer snacks that go well with drinks‼️ Getting one or two dishes for just ₩10,000 per person, in such a nice, quiet atmosphere, makes Matgim perfect for a date or a blind date too 🥰 If you’re looking for an omakase bar in Incheon’s Seo-gu, give Matgim a visit 🧡❤️ ## Where it is - Matgim (맡김) - 129, 1F, 788 Seogot-ro, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, South Korea (인천 검단구 서곶로 788 1층 129호) - 인천광역시 검단구 서곶로 788 1층 129호 - 37.5881561, 126.6752901 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%A1%EA%B9%80/@37.5881561,126.6752901,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-pour/geomdan-matgim-seasonal-omakase-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
