# Magok sushi restaurant negitoro tuna bowl lunch: Ilpum Magok - By Somin Roh (https://superchart.com/en/@insadong-tea-tray/) - Written Sep 19, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gangseo, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored visit to the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@insadong-tea-tray/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@insadong-tea-tray/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/index.md) ## In short Ilpum Magok is a sushi and kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) restaurant on Gonghang-daero near Magok Station in Gangseo, Seoul. Arriving at 1pm for a first outing after giving birth, the writer ordered the today's sushi set (₩28,000) and the ilpumdong special (₩30,000) piled with negitoro tuna, and the chawanmushi and karaage cold udon that followed turned the meal into a full course that left both diners stuffed. Between the tuna quality and 2 hours of free parking, Ilpum Magok suits a date and a solo lunch equally well. ## Good to know - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Hours**: 11:00-21:30 (break 15:00-17:30) - **Parking**: Leaders Tower Magok / 2 hours free - **Corkage**: Allowed (free or paid) - **Today's sushi set**: ₩28,000 - **Ilpumdong (special)**: ₩30,000 - **Monkfish liver hosomaki (pop-up menu)**: ₩15,000 - **Seating**: Counter seats available; full at lunchtime - **Price reference**: ₩28,000 ≈ $20 · ₩30,000 ≈ $21.5 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![First photo from the visit to Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-01-1bicu-966.webp) My first proper outing with my husband since giving birth! 🌸🌼🌸 Leaving our baby girl at home to get some fresh air, though my heart wasn't quite at ease haha 😅😅 I came here once while pregnant, but back then I played it safe and had the chicken karaage don instead of raw fish. This time, I was ready for real sushi 🍣🍣🍣 ![Entrance of Ilpum Magok, a Magok sushi restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-02-lidzf-966.webp) ## Ilpum Magok hours, closing day and parking Ilpum Magok is a sushi and kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) specialty Japanese restaurant on Gonghang-daero near Magok Station, closed every Monday. It's open 11:00-21:30, with a break time from 15:00 to 17:30. - Closed every Monday - Hours 11:00-21:30 (break time 15:00-17:30) - Parking available (Leaders Tower Magok / 2 hours free) - Corkage available (free or paid) ![Interior of Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-03-he4zl-966.webp) ![Ilpum Magok seating full of lunchtime customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-04-ri74k-m-966.webp) ![Bar seating where solo diners sit](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-05-3uwvz-966.webp) ## Is a reservation needed for lunch at Ilpum Magok? If you book ahead through Naver, you can eat right away. There are lots of offices around here, so it's always packed at lunchtime! Even though we came around 1pm, it was already full. There are bar seats too, so plenty of solo diners were eating there as well. ![Sign for the anago liver hosomaki pop-up menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-06-112kg-966.webp) There was a pop-up menu item, anago liver hosomaki (₩15,000). I love anago liver, so I'll have to try it next time 😉 ![Chawanmushi served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-07-1bouz-966.webp) Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) served before the meal. I liked that whatever you order at Ilpum Magok, it comes out feeling like a full course. ## What comes with the ₩28,000 today's sushi set ![The full today's sushi set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-08-vg9jt-1200.webp) *@Today's sushi set (₩28,000)* The today's sushi set 🍣 I ordered came with a satisfying lineup: 7 pieces of sashimi sushi, 4 pieces of tuna roll, plus 1 futomaki (thick roll). It was enough to fill up a woman on her own. ## Ilpumdong special ₩30,000: negitoro tuna like Tokyo's Tsujihan ![Ilpumdong special served with seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-09-8o4ou-966.webp) *@Ilpumdong (special) ₩30,000* The ilpumdong (special) reminded me of Tsujihan, which I ate in Tokyo. They serve it with seaweed on the side, so you just wrap it up as you eat. The portion was quite generous, and the rice was already seasoned, so I didn't need to pour on any extra soy sauce! ![Cold udon topped with karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-10-9hwp2-966.webp) ![Noodles of the yuzu ponzu-based cold udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-11-ql083-966.webp) It even came with a cold udon topped with chicken karaage, so we were completely stuffed~~~!! 😙😙 The cold udon had a yuzu ponzu base that really woke up your appetite, and it paired well with the main dish. The noodles were chewy and plump too. ![Maguro maki tuna roll with tamagoyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-12-mo2lm-966.webp) It would've felt a bit lacking with just sushi, but having this maguro maki (tuna roll) alongside made for a nice variety. That flavor reminded me of a sushi place I loved in Fukuoka,.. ❤️ The tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) that came with it was soft and fluffy too 🥚🥚 ## How good is the tuna sushi at Ilpum Magok? ![Close-up of sashimi sushi at Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-13-sfb0z-966.webp) All the other sushi was delicious too, but honestly, the tuna at Ilpum Magok is just that good 👍🏻👍🏻 The overall sushi quality had freshness on par with an omakase. (Definitely different from your average sushi platter,, 😉) ![Ilpumdong topped with tuna negitoro, salmon roe and sea urchin](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-14-8jlmd-966.webp) An ilpumdong piled high with tuna negitoro and topped with salmon roe and sea urchin. Last time I had the kaisendon here the portion was hearty too, and this ilpumdong was also plenty big enough to fill up a grown man! ![A spoonful taken out of the ilpumdong](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-15-16iwx-966.webp) I tried a bite of my husband's, and yep, it was just as delicious.. I'll have to order the ilpumdong myself next time ☺️😘 The menu is also varied enough that you could visit often and still enjoy picking something new (kaisendon, unagidon, seasonal buri don, aburidon, salmon sake don, honmaguro tsukedon, and more..) ![A large piece of futomaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon-16-1nh7w-966.webp) The futomaki was genuinely huge, kind of awkward to eat, but delicious anyway hahaha. They also sell a full roll of futomaki, and there's apparently a maguro special futomaki too. ## Why Ilpum Magok works for a date or a solo lunch We finished up with a mango purée dessert for dessert 🥭🥭 Overall it's clean and the atmosphere is nice, so it works well as a date spot, and I'd also recommend it for a solo lunch 👍🏻 If you want real sushi or kaisendon, head to Ilpum Magok,.,🤍🤍🤍 🚘 Parking was convenient too, and they gave us a solid two hours free, so we even had time to grab coffee nearby afterward ☺️ ## Where it is - Ilpum Magok (일품 마곡점) - 228 Gonghang-daero, Unit 112, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 공항대로 228 112호 일품 마곡점 - 37.5584383, 126.8328227 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%BC%ED%92%88%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1%EC%A0%90/@37.5584383,126.8328227,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@insadong-tea-tray/ilpoom-magok-sushi-set-ilpoomdon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
