Sadang izakaya in Seoul: hanwoo beef tartare and mala hot pot, Hiku

Hiku is an izakaya in Sadang, Seoul, on Dongjak-daero 7-gil, serving Sichuan beef brisket mala hot pot and premium hanwoo beef tartare as drinking food. Two mala-loving friends shared the hot pot at 29,900 won and the tartare at 28,900 won with Asahi draft beer and a Jim Beam highball, and the Hiku hot pot came with udon noodles included as standard. A quick drink at Hiku easily turns into a full dinner, with generous portions on every plate.
