I went back to Haetan, a place I'd enjoyed once before. It specializes in squid dishes, so ordering just one set gets you a variety of dishes at once — that's what I liked about it. It's apparently been featured on several TV shows, and this time I made sure to properly enjoy the signature Haetan Set again. ![Signature squid feast set at Haetan Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-01-4zir2-1200.webp) - Daily 11:00–22:00 - Break time Fri–Sat 15:00–16:00 - Last order 21:20 - No parking available ## How to find Haetan Seolleung Branch from Exit 2 of Seolleung Station Haetan is located on the 2nd floor of a building close to Exit 2 of Seolleung Station.

Looking at the menu, you can really feel how committed this place is to squid. The Haetan Set and Duo Set are the signature dishes, alongside a range of other squid dishes like boiled squid, fried squid, and vinegared squid salad. They say they use 100% squid, no giant squid. There's also a separate lunch special, which makes it a good choice for office workers looking for a Seolleung Station restaurant to grab lunch at. ![Menu board of squid-specialty restaurant Haetan Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-04-1s1nw-966.webp) ### Free rice refills until 2pm at lunch During lunch hours, you can get free rice refills until 2pm. With the lunch special plus all the rice you want, it seemed like a good option when trying to decide on lunch nearby. ![Sign for free lunch rice refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-05-ac6oo-966.webp) ### Two promotions running at Haetan Seolleung Branch There were some fun events going on too.

The self-serve bar has not just side dishes but also scorched-rice tea and bean sprout soup, so you can use as much as you need comfortably. ![Self-serve bar with side dishes, scorched-rice tea, and bean sprout soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-07-7lys6-966.webp) ## Ordering the Haetan Set again on a return visit What we ordered was the signature Haetan Set. It comes with stone-plate squid stir-fry, flower pork belly, seasoned raw squid, and fried squid all at once. Since I liked it so much last time, I ordered the same set again without a second thought. It's the perfect setup for people like us who prefer eating a variety of things rather than just one dish. ![The full Haetan Set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-08-50x6m-966.webp) ### Sizzling stone-plate squid stir-fry The stone-plate squid stir-fry comes out sizzling on a hot stone plate. The sauce is slightly sweet, and since it stays hot for a long time, it was good to eat slowly. It also went well with rice. ![Sizzling stone-plate squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-09-18iy7-966.webp) ### Flower pork belly boiled pork and seasoned squid The flower pork belly went well when paired with the seasoned raw squid. Since the pork belly can be reheated, it stayed warm throughout the meal. Pairing the tender pork belly with the seasoned raw squid gave a nice variety within the set. ![Plate of flower pork belly and seasoned raw squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-10-1dwo4-966.webp) ![Flower pork belly paired with seasoned raw squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-11-kfod8-966.webp) ![A bite of pork belly topped with seasoned raw squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-12-1rfwr-966.webp) ### Big pieces of fried squid The fried squid was substantial in size from the start. It's not just a thick batter — there's plenty of actual squid inside, so it had a satisfying chew with each bite. It has a totally different texture from the stir-fry or the seasoned salad, and it would be a shame to leave it out of the Haetan Set. ![Plate of sizeable fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-13-n9co4-966.webp) ![Cross-section of thickly-stuffed fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-14-15prs-966.webp) ## A beer alongside the squid feast With such a full spread laid out, I couldn't resist a beer. With the stir-fry, pork belly, seasoned squid, and fried squid all there, it was great for picking at one dish after another as a drinking snack. If you're looking for a Seolleung Station restaurant for dinner, this is a great combo for a meal with a drink too. ![A beer to go with the squid feast set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-15-w14i7-966.webp) ### Fried rice in the leftover sauce is a must Even though we were already quite full, I couldn't give up the final fried rice. Stir-fried in the leftover sauce, it was the perfect finish after eating the squid stir-fry. Personally, I'd recommend leaving a little room from the start if you're coming to Haetan, just for the fried rice. ![Finishing fried rice cooked in the leftover sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-16-1r9qs-966.webp) ### Ice cream to finish the meal After eating our fill of the squid feast and fried rice, finishing off with cool ice cream at the end made it feel like a proper conclusion to the meal. ![Ice cream served for dessert after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang-17-17nz6-966.webp) ## Who will enjoy Haetan Seolleung Branch? Having enjoyed it before, I was glad to return to Haetan and once again get to try squid stir-fry, boiled pork, seasoned squid, and fried squid all through just one Haetan Set. I'd especially recommend it to people who like trying several dishes at once, or anyone in Seolleung looking for a place that works for lunch, dinner, or an office dinner alike. ## Where it is - Haetan Seolleung Branch (해탄 선릉점) - 15 Seolleung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2nd floor units 203-204 - 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로86길 15 지상2층 203호,204호 - 37.5034988, 127.050937 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%ED%83%84%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5034988,127.050937,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-stone-bowl/haetan-seolleung-squid-hansang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
