The writer went the evening she paid the balance on her newlywed home, toasted with a first bottle of wine or sake brought in corkage-free, and ordered the 55,000 won two-person flounder and rockfish course, which came with eomuk (fish cake) soup, fried shrimp and grilled mackerel among the free side dishes. For a night when you want to bring your own bottle and still get a full sashimi spread, Ido Hoetjip is solid value. ## Good to know - **Location**: 11 Dongho-ro 12-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 11:30–23:00 (break 15:00–16:00) - **What we ordered**: Two-person course (flounder + rockfish), 55,000 won - **Corkage**: First bottle of wine or sake free, 10,000 won per extra bottle, whiskey 10,000 won per bottle - **End of the course**: Choice of seafood ramyeon or spicy fish stew, albap (rice with roe) included - **Price reference**: ₩55,000 ≈ $40.5 (2026-09-24) *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* I'm Nowon-daek, a rookie married woman 👰🏻‍♀️ I finally finished one of the biggest tasks of my life! I got through the day we paid off the final balance on our newlywed home. 🎉 ![A keepsake photo from the day we finished paying off our newlywed home](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-01-sbsz5-900.webp) After paying the final balance in the morning and carefully checking that the interior demolition was starting, I was completely drained. But on such a meaningful, happy day, going straight home felt like a waste, right? So let me tell you about the great-value restaurant near Yaksu Station we rushed to for a toast with my husband — 'Ido Hoetjip' (이도횟집). ## Where is Ido Hoetjip near Yaksu Station, and when is it open? Ido Hoetjip is at 11 Donghoro 12-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, near Yaksu Station. It's open 11:30–23:00, with a break time from 15:00 to 16:00. ![Exterior of Ido Hoetjip near Yaksu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-02-11qa2-900.webp) Ido Hoetjip occupies the whole building, so it's quite spacious — but wow, even on a weekday evening the place was absolutely packed. I guess I was the only one who didn't know this was a real Yaksu Station hidden gem.. 🤣🤣 ![Ido Hoetjip packed with customers on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-03-n2l7p-900.webp) I wanted to take pretty photos of every corner inside, but there were so many customers that I felt too guilty to lift my camera, so I had to give up on interior shots with tears in my eyes.. ![View near the entrance of Ido Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-04-1raw2-900.webp) ## Why we chose Ido Hoetjip: bring your own bottle, no corkage Out of the countless sashimi restaurants near Yaksu Station, the reason we specifically chose Ido Hoetjip was 'corkage-free.' You can't celebrate a happy day without a good bottle, right? Haha. - Wine & sake, 1st bottle: free - Each additional bottle: ₩10,000 - Whiskey: ₩10,000 per bottle ![Sign explaining Ido Hoetjip's corkage-free policy](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-05-igcnk-900.webp) Corkage fees these days aren't cheap, so having the first bottle of wine or sake free was exactly what we wanted — good sashimi paired with whatever drink we felt like. ![Drinks and glasses set on the table at Ido Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-06-1tuvj-900.webp) ![A glass of wine paired with sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-07-o79s7-900.webp) ![Toasting at Ido Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-08-1u7xg-900.webp) ## What the 55,000 won flounder and rockfish course for two includes We ordered the 2-person course (flounder + rockfish). At first I doubted my eyes on the menu — it said just ₩55,000, and I assumed of course that had to be per person. But wait, no? It was ₩55,000 for two. Isn't that value insane? ![The full spread of the ₩55,000 flounder and rockfish course for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-09-kgg8g-1200.webp) ### The free side dishes at Ido Hoetjip never stopped coming The price was so good that honestly I didn't expect much from the sides (sukiddasi), but dish after dish kept appearing and both my husband and I were floored. All of this for ₩55,000? Owner, are you even making any money off this..? ![An endless row of side dishes at Ido Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-10-1nion-900.webp) ![A plate of basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-11-sk7qb-712.webp) The basics included a savory seaweed soup, crunchy silkworm pupae, and aged kimchi (mukeunji) that's amazing wrapped around the sashimi later. ![Seaweed soup, silkworm pupae, and aged kimchi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-12-1elei-900.webp) Usually at cheap sashimi restaurants you just get corn butter or steamed egg and call it a day, but here they gave us eomuk (fishcake) soup, crispy fried shrimp, and beautifully grilled mackerel.. ![Fishcake soup, fried shrimp, and grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-13-14zv0-900.webp) It really just kept pouring out endlessly — we could've filled up on the side dishes alone. 👍🏻 And the quality was great too. Every single thing was delicious. (Especially the eomuk soup, so good) ![The main plate of flounder and rockfish sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-14-1umm9-900.webp) ![Close-up of chewy flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-15-iqp22-900.webp) ![A piece of flounder wrapped in aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-16-1ymw7-900.webp) ### Flounder and rockfish sashimi wrapped in aged kimchi The main flounder and rockfish sashimi had a chewy texture — super fresh. Especially when I put a piece of flounder on the aged kimchi side dish and dabbed on some wasabi, all the fatigue from the whole day just melted away. All the exhausting moments from paying off the balance were forgotten, and my husband and I raised our glasses in a moved toast. Haha. ![The spicy fish stew ordered to finish the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-17-ljefb-900.webp) ## Finishing the meal with spicy fish stew and albap For the finishing meal of Ido Hoetjip's 2-person course, you can choose between seafood ramyeon or spicy fish stew (maeuntang). We craved something spicy and rich, so we went with the stew. ![Rice bowl with fish roe served alongside the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free-18-rz59n-900.webp) On top of that, a rice bowl with popping fish roe (albap) came out perfectly to round things off. On such a meaningful day — after paying off the balance on our newlywed home and taking the first step into interior renovation — this was the perfect spot for a toast: Ido Hoetjip, a sashimi restaurant near Yaksu Station in Seoul! We move into our newlywed home in about a month, so please look forward to the renovation journey ahead 👰🏻‍♀️ ## Where it is - Ido Hoetjip (이도횟집) - 11 Donghoro 12-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 동호로12길 11 - 37.5558892, 127.0107118 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EB%8F%84%ED%9A%9F%EC%A7%91/@37.5558892,127.0107118,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menus-and-moments/yaksu-station-sashimi-corkage-free/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
