Scissors, small plates, baby utensils, even soup broth. Skipped the broth since it was hot out, but having it self-serve seemed like it'd make eating more comfortable ![Included pickled vegetables and grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-06-d3pae-966.webp) ![Abalone innard porridge, sweet potato croquette, and mini udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-07-sn2s9-966.webp) ## Included sides: abalone innard porridge, sweet potato croquette, mini udon The standard included sides are supposed to be three kinds of pickled vegetables, grilled fish, seasonal porridge, and tempura — we got abalone innard porridge for the seasonal porridge and sweet potato croquette for the tempura. Also, ordering sushi comes with mini udon included by default! Even the mini udon was solid quality, so I enjoyed it ✨Saw this while eating — some soldiers came into the restaurant and the owner swapped their udon for a bigger bowl, and the soldiers were so happy saying the world is a warm place ㅜㅜ so touching✨ ![Two plates: fatty belly assorted sushi 10p and special sushi 12p](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-08-voajk-1200.webp) ![Two sushi sets on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-09-1q6ks-966.webp) ## Fatty belly sushi 10p and special sushi 12p breakdown Fatty belly assorted sushi on the left, special sushi 12p on the right. The fatty belly assorted sushi is a new menu item made up of tuna belly, swordfish belly, salmon belly, flounder fin, and seasonal live fish belly ankimo — I ordered it right away when I heard that! The special sushi had a variety I liked, from flounder to abalone to tuna, so I ordered that too ![Close-up of the fatty belly assorted sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-10-1k1y3-966.webp) ![Close-up of salmon belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-11-1xmkk-966.webp) ![Close-up of flounder fin sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-12-1u217-966.webp) ![Special sushi 12p arrangement](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-13-982dg-966.webp) ![Picking up a piece of sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje-14-6bcuz-966.webp) ### A belly sushi lover's taste verdict Mine was the fatty belly assorted sushi! (I'm famously a belly sushi lover haha) I'd love to name the fish one by one from top to bottom, but,,, I'm hopeless at telling fish apart, so I could only identify the salmon belly and the flounder fin lol The one at the very top left seemed like a fish I hadn't tried even at other sushi places — totally rich and fatty, so good,,, and the others held up well too given how famous this place is for Ilsan sushi, but the flounder fin especially had incredible texture — my number one of the bunch,,,! + Oh, and if you can't handle wasabi, you need to tell the staff before ordering ## Conclusion 🌟Conclusion🌟 The care of warming even the seasonal porridge bowl, the kindness shown to the soldiers, and most importantly, the taste of the sushi — recommended as an Ilsan sushi spot‼️ Recommended if you're heading to a concert in Goyang (about 10 minutes by taxi from the stadium!) or visiting Ilsan Lake Park and want sushi! ## Where it is - Hwangje Sushi Ilsan Main Branch (황제초밥 일산본점) - 195 Baengma-ro, Sangga-dong 1F Green Zone 1117, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 고양시 일산동구 백마로 195 상가동 1층 그린존 1117호 - 37.653673, 126.7705862 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EC%A0%9C%EC%B4%88%EB%B0%A5%20%EC%9D%BC%EC%82%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.653673,126.7705862,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@market-lunch-saucer/ilsan-sushi-belly-set-hwangje/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
