Visiting as a pair, the writer worked through a 35,000-won-per-person course of makhoe (mixed raw fish salad), yukhoe (beef tartare), braised pomfret, skate samhap, octopus and pork belly, fried rice, ramyeon, and finished with trendy Changeok-tteok pumpkin injeolmi and bingsu. Even without alcohol, the meal left the cozy, home-cooked feeling of a proper Korean dinner. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 10:00 - 21:00 - **Break time**: 16:00 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Parking**: No dedicated lot (writer parked at Lotte Mart Maxx) - **Price**: ₩35,000 per person for 2 / ₩30,000 per person for 3+ - **Group rooms**: New building: 8-team, 16-team rooms; Main building: 10-team, 12-team rooms; Annex: 20-person, 28-person capacity - **Drinks**: Soju available; drinks self-serve *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I'd always been curious about this place since it's always crowded whenever I pass by — we went at 4:30pm and it was already busy, and by 5pm the main building was completely full.

Alright, let's get into the review~! ## Hours, parking, and group room sizes - ⏰ Daily 10:00 - 21:00 (break time 16:00 - 17:00 / last order 20:00) - 🅿️ No dedicated parking lot (I parked at Lotte Mart Maxx and did some shopping while I was at it) They have a variety of group rooms set up, which makes it a really convenient place for gatherings. ![Interior of a group room at Misikga Imokase Sangmu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-01-z52h4-900.webp) ![Room seating at Misikga Imokase, good for gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-02-1bmq6-900.webp) ![Room space at Misikga Imokase Sangmu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-03-1hij7-m-900.webp) << New Building >> Can seat 8-team and 16-team groups ![Group room in the New Building at Misikga Imokase](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-04-6cnus-900.webp) ![Seating for an 8-team group in the New Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-05-73qhz-900.webp) ![Spacious group room for 16 teams in the New Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-06-1jtcy-900.webp) << Main Building >> Can seat 10-team and 12-team groups << Annex >> Can seat 20-person and 28-person groups ## So how much does Imokase cost?

Fresh and tangy, with the bean flour sprinkled on top adding a nice savory depth. ![Makhoe sprinkled with bean flour, served with perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-10-xymfa-900.webp) Wrapping it in perilla leaf added a nice fragrance and made it even tastier — a really good start✨✨ ![A bite of makhoe wrapped in perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-11-1fvys-900.webp) ### Grilled yellow croaker and yukhoe The moment I saw the croaker I thought of rice, but the seasoning wasn't too salty, so it was fine to eat without rice too. ![A plate of lightly seasoned grilled yellow croaker](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-12-11f17-900.webp) Maybe because it had been a while, but the yukhoe was so good. Chewy, with a lovely nutty richness from the sesame oil. ![A plate of yukhoe with a fragrant sesame oil scent](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-13-empjo-900.webp) ![Close-up of the yukhoe served at Imokase](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-14-p3gz1-900.webp) ### Dipping potato in the braised pomfret sauce Braised pomfret isn't something I see much outside of home cooking, so seeing it here felt so nostalgic... I dipped potato instead of rice into the sauce, and it was surprisingly good (honestly not a combo you'd expect to work, but it does). ![Braised pomfret eaten with dipped potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-15-aodvv-900.webp) ![Side dish plate with japchae and kimchi jeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-16-15hzd-900.webp) ![Banchan spread including acorn jelly salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-17-1nggb-900.webp) These are the side dishes you'd be disappointed not to see at a Korean restaurant, and all three came out together — such a happy moment. ![A generously plated serving of skate samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-18-1n5sx-1200.webp) ## How fermented was the skate samhap? The samhap arrived with a wildly intense visual🔥 My boyfriend can't eat skate, so all the skate was mine😋 ![Well-fermented skate with bossam and aged kimchi for samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-19-18xiv-900.webp) Skate samhap isn't good if it's not fermented enough, but this was fermented just right for a proper kick. ![Octopus and pork belly served alongside the samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-20-1c23p-900.webp) I tried to pace myself while eating, but this was around when I started to feel full. But once we finished, they took our plates away and came back with fried rice🫢 As Koreans, though, how could we resist fried rice as a follow-up dessert?! In the middle they also brought out yukjeon (pan-fried beef patty), which I'd recommend eating together with the yukhoe, scallions, and octopus-pork belly combo! ![Fried rice and ramyeon served to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-21-8jlwh-900.webp) The food really kept coming with no break — this last dish seemed meant to help settle the stomach. We didn't drink, but sipping the ramyeon broth helped everything go down. ![A bowl of ramyeon broth for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-22-yalrs-900.webp) ## Dessert: Changeok-tteok pumpkin injeolmi and bingsu And now, the long-awaited dessert~! They even brought out the trendy Changeok-tteok pumpkin injeolmi (rice cake) that's hard to find right now — I was just impressed they could keep up the supply. Full as we were, we couldn't resist and ate it anyway haha. ![Changeok-tteok pumpkin injeolmi served with fruit for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-23-1n851-900.webp) ![Bingsu eaten together with the pumpkin injeolmi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner-24-1xteg-900.webp) Bingsu came out too, and we ate it together with the pumpkin injeolmi. I really thought that was the last dish, but then the owner brought out shrimp crackers. ## Is it fine to go without drinking? The whole time we ate, both customers and food kept coming without a break at Misikga. We enjoyed ourselves even without drinking, but I imagine there's no better restaurant for those who do drink. And unlike other drinking spots, it had a home-cooked feel that made it really warm and cozy — I think that atmosphere is part of why it's so packed. ## Where it is - Misikga Imokase Sangmu Main Branch (미식가 이모카세 상무본점 단체룸 저녁 한식) - 114 Sangmu Pyeonghwa-ro, 1st floor, Seo-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 서구 상무평화로 114 1층 - 35.1485955, 126.8513341 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%B8%EC%8B%9D%EA%B0%80%20%EC%9D%B4%EB%AA%A8%EC%B9%B4%EC%84%B8%20%EC%83%81%EB%AC%B4%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90%20%EB%8B%A8%EC%B2%B4%EB%A3%B8%20%EC%A0%80%EB%85%81%20%ED%95%9C%EC%8B%9D/@35.1485955,126.8513341,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@market-stall-meals/sangmu-imokase-group-room-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
