The writer stopped by after work for spicy seafood nabe with fresh noodles added separately, plus flounder sio sanhap and a cold dokkuri. Verdict: great anju for the price, but remember to order the noodle sari separately if you want noodles in your nabe. ## Good to know - **Location**: 176m from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6, 2nd floor of the backstreet behind the CGV building - **From Gangnam Station**: Less than 5 minutes on foot - **Parking**: Not available - **Weekday hours**: 17:00 - 02:00 - **Weekend hours**: 16:30 - 02:00 - **Last order**: 00:00 - **Large flounder sio sanhap**: ₩35,000 - **Spicy seafood nabe**: ₩26,000 - **Fresh noodle sari add-on**: ₩2,000 - **Cold dokkuri (sake flask)**: ₩11,000 - **Seating**: Counter (dachi) seats, partitioned booth seats (3-4 people) - **Reservation**: Recommended via Catch Table before visiting *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* A must-visit for anju near Gangnam Station: Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch ![Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch anju and drinks table shot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-01-1p4kw-1200.webp) I had no idea Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch was this popular before I went 🍶 Even though I came straight after work, the place was almost fully packed haha. The vibe is like a cozy Japanese bar — perfect for having a relaxed drink with friends! I'm not a fan of bars that are too loud or chaotic, but this place had exactly the kind of atmosphere where office workers stop by for a beer after work haha. The vibe is great, but the anju (drinking snacks) are so tasty and reasonably priced that it made total sense why it was so crowded haha. If you're looking for a great anju bar around Gangnam or Sinnonhyeon, I totally recommend Izakaya Goko! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spicy seafood nabe and flounder sio sanhap — an insane combo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ## Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch: location and hours Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch is 176m from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6, tucked in the backstreet behind the CGV building haha. It's also less than 5 minutes on foot from Gangnam Station~! 📍 No parking available - Weekdays 17:00 - 02:00 - Weekends 16:30 - 02:00 - Last order 00:00 ## The 2nd floor interior: counter seats and booth vibes Izakaya Goko is on the 2nd floor~! Just take the stairs up. Luckily there was no wait, so we got seated right away haha. During peak dinner hours it's likely to be fully booked, so I'd recommend reserving through Catch Table beforehand! The interior really has that Japanese izakaya feel~~! There are counter (dachi) seats too, which looked great for drinking solo,,🤪 There were quite a lot of seats, but since it was packed I couldn't get photos ㅠㅠ There were also partitioned booth seats, which looked great for small groups of 3-4 haha ![2nd floor interior atmosphere of Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-02-l0xh4-539.webp) ![일본 이자카야 느낌의 고코 실내](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-03-1aez8-539.webp) ![Interior of Goko with counter seats good for solo drinking](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-04-1u5mc-539.webp) ![Izakaya interior showing partitioned booth seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-05-1sl03-539.webp) ![Table setting at Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-06-y1s9w-539.webp) ![Interior lighting and seating at Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-07-cpz0n-539.webp) ## What we ordered and how much it cost The signature dishes here are sashimi and yakitori~! Before coming here, I'd watched Kang Minkyung's YouTube video and had been craving that combo of large flounder and salt gimbap (seaweed rice roll) that Namsan Flounder in Hannam-dong serves… and as if fate, the menu here had a large flounder sio sanhap, so I ordered it immediately!! Sanhap (a three-way combo) of large flounder, wasabi, and aged kimchi on top of gimbap 🍙🐟 And I felt like we needed a warm soup-based anju too, so we also ordered the seafood nabe~~ Plus a cold dokkuri to finish it off 🍶 The prices weren't too heavy for a bar around Gangnam Station, so it was easy to order several anju haha. - Large flounder sio sanhap (₩35,000) - Spicy seafood nabe (₩26,000) - Extra fresh noodles (₩2,000) - Cold dokkuri (₩11,000) ### Cold dokkuri (₩11,000) I went back and forth between the warm and cold dokkuri, but felt like something refreshing, so I went with the cold one — and it paired perfectly with what we ordered haha. It comes in a bowl full of ice, so it stays nice and cold while you drink! It had been a while since I'd had this, and it was so good,,, so smooth going down and refreshing. Paired with the tasty anju, it just kept going down easily. And the popcorn that came out as a basic side snack! Salty and sweet, so I kept reaching for it haha. ### Spicy seafood nabe (₩26,000) ![A pot of spicy seafood nabe at Izakaya Goko](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-08-yopcb-900.webp) ![Spicy seafood nabe packed with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-09-krtt4-900.webp) When drinking, you really need at least one soup-based anju haha. We went back and forth but ordered this one, and it had plenty of seafood packed in with a spicy broth — perfect drinking food!!! Style-wise it was like a spicy jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) nabe ![Broth of the spicy jjamppong-style seafood nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-10-1u70h-900.webp) The broth itself wasn't overly aggressive-spicy — it has that refreshing taste that comes from the seafood, so I kept scooping up more haha. ![Scooping up ingredients from the seafood nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-11-1h1sq-900.webp) ![Close-up of crab in the seafood nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-12-15dkg-900.webp) There was crab in there too 🦀 Scooping up the vegetables, seafood, and meat, one bottle of dokkuri disappeared in no time;;; ![The nabe pot after ingredients have been scooped out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-13-1t0x7-900.webp) ### You have to order the fresh noodle sari separately Just because you order a nabe or soup dish doesn't mean fresh noodles or kalguksu noodles automatically come with it! We wanted to eat noodles in the broth too, so we ordered fresh noodles separately haha. The noodles come pre-boiled, so if you add them from the start they can get mushy — so it's better to eat some of the nabe ingredients first, then ask staff for the noodles, and they'll bring them right over haha. ![Fresh noodles added to the seafood nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-14-90ic9-900.webp) Once the noodles went in, it turned into a whole new dish,,,!! It shifted to more of a spicy ramen feel The noodles were nice and chewy, so tasty,,, if we'd added udon noodles instead, it probably would've felt exactly like jjamppong But the thin fresh noodles were great too haha ### Large flounder sio sanhap (₩35,000) Finally, the large flounder sio sanhap!! Goko's signature dish — a bit of wasabi on gimbap, topped with flounder and aged kimchi. I'd really been craving that flounder, salt gimbap, and aged kimchi combo, so I was excited even before it arrived. ![A plate of Izakaya Goko's large flounder sio sanhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-15-1xzjb-900.webp) Thinly sliced large flounder and thick-cut salmon sashimi ![Thinly sliced large flounder and thick-cut salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-16-1bt0h-900.webp) The gimbap came in mini size, super cute. If you ask for more salt, they'll bring you extra haha. ![Mini-sized gimbap served with the sio sanhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-17-p97fv-900.webp) The sashimi was so fresh that it would've been fine to just order sashimi outright haha ![Close-up of fresh large flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-18-l62b1-900.webp) ![The full plate arrangement of the large flounder sio sanhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-19-rf2nt-900.webp) Honestly I sometimes make this combo at home too, and it's tasty at home as well, but this restaurant-bought version can't really be beat ![Gimbap topped with flounder sashimi and aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-20-obf64-900.webp) ![Flounder sashimi with wasabi on salt gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-21-1bfhz-900.webp) You just top the gimbap with the chewy, soft flounder sashimi, add a bit of wasabi, then eat it along with aged kimchi, dipping it into salt ㅠㅠ ![A finished bite of the large flounder sio sanhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-22-1b24k-900.webp) So good;;;;; A perfect match with dokkuri. After finishing all the gimbap, only sashimi was left, and eating that alone was still delicious haha ![Close-up of fatty salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-23-zdh32-900.webp) ![Eating the leftover sashimi separately on its own](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles-24-zr64w-900.webp) The salmon sashimi was so rich and fatty ㅠㅠㅠ They really know how to do sashimi here,,, next time I come I'll definitely order sashimi and yakitori ⭐️ If you're looking for a true anju spot near Gangnam Station, I totally recommend Izakaya Goko ## Where it is - Izakaya Goko Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch (이자카야 고코 강남신논현점) - 21 Bongeunsa-ro 2-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Banseok Building 2F, Izakaya Goko - 서울특별시 강남구 봉은사로2길 21 반석빌딩 2층 이자카야고코 - 37.5033195, 127.0261503 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9E%90%EC%B9%B4%EC%95%BC%20%EA%B3%A0%EC%BD%94%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%8B%A0%EB%85%BC%ED%98%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5033195,127.0261503,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@last-round-seoul/gogo-izakaya-sinnonhyeon-nabe-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
