We had the ₩49,000 weekend set for two, with udon, karaage, sushi, kaisendon, and unagidon. Gapposo is an excellent pick for Japanese food near Gasan Digital Complex. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Gasan Digital Complex Station - **Parking**: 2 hours free in-building parking - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Ordered**: Weekend set for two, ₩49,000 - **Sushi**: Choose 6 or 12 pieces - **Other**: Corkage, private rentals, and local currency accepted *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Gapposo before outlet shopping in Gasan On our way to shop at the Gasan outlets over the weekend, my wife and I stopped by Gapposo (갓포소), a popular spot in Gasan Digital Complex, for lunch. ![Gapposo visit information and the area around the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-01-aq3mo-966.webp) The interior was really distinctive. Since it is an authentic Japanese restaurant, even the exterior had that unmistakably Japanese feel. ![Japanese-style exterior of Gapposo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-02-740ie-966.webp) We arrived after the weekend lunch rush and got in right away without waiting, but it is already such a well-known Gasan restaurant that there can be a long wait at weekday lunch or dinner. ![Gapposo entrance area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-03-1j9au-966.webp) Maybe because we went in at 2 p.m., we were the last guests haha. There is a break time from 3 to 5 p.m. after lunch, so I recommend checking the time before you go. ![View inside Gapposo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-04-13zro-966.webp) ## Ordering the weekend set for two The menu itself differs from weekdays. We ordered the weekend set for two (₩49,000). ![Gapposo weekend menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-05-tml5t-966.webp) They are running a review event too. You should definitely leave a review and get it—at least get a free can of soda!! ![Gapposo review event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-06-1lh76-966.webp) Shortly after we ordered, they brought out danmuji (pickled yellow radish) and soy sauce. Personally, I think having them bring it to the table is more hygienic than keeping it on the table for everyone to serve themselves. ![Danmuji and soy sauce served as basic sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-07-18ekk-966.webp) My wife really loved the chopstick rest and chopsticks. The chopsticks were genuinely interesting—so thin that they were really easy to pick food up with. ![Chopstick rest and thin chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-08-1rgrd-966.webp) Maybe because it was Japanese food, the dishes came out quickly. I think it would be a good place for office workers on a weekday lunch break too. At lunchtime, how fast the food comes out is the most important thing, right? Hahaha. ![Weekend set for two table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-09-9l2gs-966.webp) ## Udon, karaage, and sushi sides First, some palate-cleansing udon. The noodles were super chewy and the broth was so refreshing—it was perfect as a starter. ![Udon served as a palate cleanser](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-10-1kd96-966.webp) Next came karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Maybe because this is an authentic Japanese restaurant, it was on a completely different level from the karaage I usually have. Even though the sauce was already drizzled over it, it was incredibly crisp and had such a great bite. ![Karaage with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-11-15a31-966.webp) We ordered six pieces of sushi, but you can also order 12 pieces, so if you want more sushi, the 12-piece option would be a good choice. ![Sushi from the weekend set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-12-oqc16-966.webp) ![Six-piece sushi selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-13-b54yn-966.webp) ![Sushi with wasabi and soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-14-ci4st-966.webp) Maybe because Gapposo's chef used to be the executive chef at a five-star hotel Japanese restaurant, it felt like there were 320 grains of rice in each piece haha. The sushi rice was perfectly springy, the sashimi was fresh, and it was seriously delicious. If I come back, I think I will order 12 pieces next time haha. Add wasabi to taste, brush on some soy sauce with the little brush, then pop it into your mouth in one bite—it is seriously heavenly haha. ![Brushing soy sauce onto sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-15-1cmkz-966.webp) ## Kaisendon and unagidon mains The sides had really opened up our appetites, so it was time for the mains hahaha. My wife's kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) and my unagidon (grilled eel rice bowl) came in square bento boxes, plated so beautifully that they looked delicious before we even took a bite haha. ![Kaisendon and unagidon in square bento boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-16-bv4ep-966.webp) ### My wife's kaisendon ![Kaisendon ordered by my wife](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-17-vcgwh-966.webp) ![Kaisendon topped with several kinds of sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-18-uz90r-966.webp) I had only ever eaten sushi at Japanese restaurants before, so this was my first time trying kaisendon. The sashimi was really fresh and delicious, and it was fun being able to choose among several kinds haha. ![Serving a portion of kaisendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-19-pi1qu-966.webp) I would have just scooped it up with a spoon, but my wife divided it into little portions and ate it sushi-style hahaha. You do end up with some rice left this way, but that was fine because I could eat the rest ^^ ![Kaisendon and the remaining rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-20-h3y2p-966.webp) ### The thick unagidon Next was my unagidon. The eel was incredibly thick. The sauce went so well with it that it practically melted in my mouth haha. ![Unagidon topped with thick eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-21-r0dc8-966.webp) I do not usually eat ginger, but I do not know how Gapposo pickles theirs—it was so sweet and delicious. ![Ginger served with unagidon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-22-1eygb-966.webp) There was also a rolled omelet underneath the eel, and it was seriously so good!! I tend to save the best things for last, so after finishing everything else, I ate the egg last hahaha. ![Rolled omelet underneath the eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-23-yd3w5-966.webp) Once again, we cleaned our plates without leaving a single grain of rice hahaha. Gapposo definitely deserves its reputation as a great Japanese restaurant in Gasan Digital Complex!! My wife and I both love Japanese food and eat sushi often, but this was honestly among the best places we have tried. If you are looking for a top Japanese restaurant near Gasan Digital Complex, I really recommend Gapposo!! ![Gapposo weekend Japanese meal for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch-24-7d1wq-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Gapposo (갓포소) - 106, 1F, Hyundai Terra Tower Gasan DK, 144 Gasan Digital 2-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 금천구 가산디지털2로 144 현대테라타워가산DK 1층 106호 - 37.4812082, 126.8794474 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%93%ED%8F%AC%EC%86%8C/@37.4812082,126.8794474,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meals-in-focus-2/gasan-gatposo-weekend-japanese-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
