Incheon sashimi restaurant flatfish set: Uridongne Yeonan Budu

Back at a Seoknam-dong spot specializing in flatfish sashimi with my parents

My parents came to visit today, and Dad said he wanted sashimi, so we went back to Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seoknam Main Branch (우리동네 연안부두 석남본점), where we had really enjoyed flatfish sashimi before.

It is open daily from 14:00 to 23:30, with last orders at 23:00, and closed every Tuesday. There is no separate parking area, so use Gangnam Market Public Parking Lot, a two-minute walk away, or park where there are street parking lines.

This is the exterior of Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seoknam Branch. The tanks were kept very clean, and the fish looked fresh too, haha.

We came at 4 to avoid the wait

It is a cozy little place with about six four-person tables, but I had experienced a wait before, so we came at that in-between time of 4, haha. Mom and Dad asked whether this counted as lunch or dinner, but honestly, it is nice to eat until you are full at this hour and then not eat anything else, haha.

I think this was seasoned seaweed, and Mom said she absolutely loved it.

A generous spread starting with seafood banchan

The seafood skedashi (small dishes served with sashimi) arrived: soy-marinated shrimp, boiled shrimp, sea squirt, abalone, and sashimi!

The soy-marinated shrimp were plump, and the spicy chili peppers really woke up the appetite.

Mom and Dad's shrimp heart, lol 🫶

This sashimi was so nutty and had such a lovely texture, you know? It was nice and thick, and the more I chewed, the better it tasted.

The abalone and sea squirt were fresh too! I love sashimi dipped in ssamjang (savory soybean paste).

Sweet flatfish sashimi cut into long strips

Here is the flatfish sashimi, sliced into long strips. Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seoknam Branch does not sell flounder or rockfish, lol—it is a flatfish specialist. Once you try this wonderfully sweet flatfish, “Mmm, delicious” just slips out.

Even when you pick up a big, generous bite, it is not tough at all, and the texture is fantastic. Busy hands, lol.

Flatfish mixed sashimi rice I keep thinking about

The rice topped with seasoned flatfish sashimi came out, and this thing is seriously something else, lol. Last time we had mulhoe, but this time it was mixed sashimi rice ♡ The rice had plenty of sesame oil and ground sesame seeds. The seasoning was spot-on, so I just kept eating it. It is a flavor I keep thinking aboutㅠㅠ

I wrapped the flatfish sashimi in perilla leaves with chojang (sweet-and-tangy chili sauce) plus wasabi, dipped it in chojang alone, made ssam wraps with ssamjang, and ate it with the rinsed, well-fermented kimchi...

Then freshly cooked kimchi pancake and corn cheese arrived. They were even better piping hot.

We diligently ate rice here and there too, lol. Still, we said sashimi digests easily and kept saying how delicious it was as we ate.

The grilled mackerel arrived, and whatever their secret is, it was crispy outside and moist inside~~^^

We were so full we thought we could not eat another bite, so they kindly packed up the spicy fish stew for us. As expected, Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seoknam Branch—another very satisfying flatfish meal today!! Highly recommend it♡
