Hapjeong Sushi House (합정초밥집) is an aged sushi restaurant near Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station, and today I went for the VIP sushi set. ![Exterior or entrance of Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-01-zrx3b-966.webp) ![Hapjeong Sushi House near Hapjeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-02-7hrwv-m-966.webp) This is Hapjeong Sushi House, a great sushi spot near Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station. The sushi here is omakase-level, made by a chef with a background in hotel cooking, hotels and overseas fine dining, and it's honestly one of my favorite sushi places. ## Aging method and atmosphere at Hapjeong Sushi House Hapjeong Sushi House gets its fish from the fish market every dawn and uses neta (the fish toppings) aged in the Tsumoto style. When you walk in, the day's special neta are posted on a board. ![Board of the day's special neta at the entrance of Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-03-1s2jn-966.webp) As you come in, the day's special neta are posted on a board like this. The fish comes from the fish market every dawn, so you get seasonal neta and freshly prepared sashimi. The aging is Tsumoto-style: the nerves are removed and the blood drained before aging, which they say allows a longer aging period, leaves no fishy smell, and locks in umami and moisture. It's a place where you can eat properly aged sushi thanks to that method. ![Counter seats and hall tables inside Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-04-17g57-966.webp) ![Large inner hall seating at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-05-1xsgl-966.webp) There are plenty of counter seats facing the kitchen and hall tables. The layout is L-shaped, so if you go further in, there's another big hall like this. The whole place is bright and clean, so it's good for group gatherings, lunch, or a dinner get-together. ## What's on the Hapjeong Sushi House menu? The signature dishes at Hapjeong Sushi House are aged sashimi and the Jeong sushi set. The sushi lineup is Hap, Jeong, Dong, VIP, mackerel bar sushi and herring bar sushi. There are also lunch rice bowls and set meals, udon and sides, so there are plenty of choices. ![Principles and philosophy notice at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-06-14hd6-966.webp) Let's read through Hapjeong Sushi House's principles and philosophy while we look at the menu. ![Aged sashimi and Jeong sushi set menu at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-07-942yn-966.webp) ![Signature dishes menu screen at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-08-kycez-966.webp) The signature dishes are aged sashimi and the Jeong sushi set. It's a place that ages fish well, so of course the sashimi is great and the sushi is great too. I also really like that the sashimi comes with the shari (sushi rice) served separately. ![Sushi menu list at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-09-1fvmb-966.webp) The sushi menu has Hap, Jeong, Dong, VIP, mackerel bar sushi and herring bar sushi, and you can order one type or single items. If you tap an item you can see what's in it, so it's nice to order after checking. Today I'm having the VIP sushi! Because it's the best one and it has 15 pieces! ![Rice bowl, set meal, udon and side menu at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-10-qzj7c-966.webp) There's a wide range of rice bowls and set meals that are good for lunch, plus udon and sides, so just order whatever you feel like eating. ![Tablet ordering screen at the table at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-11-1yb03-966.webp) I ordered on the tablet, added a few single items, and the order was done! ## What's in the VIP sushi set at Hapjeong Sushi House? The VIP sushi at Hapjeong Sushi House, in the ₩30,000 range, comes with 15 pieces of sushi plus salad, pickled shallots (rakkyo) and clear soup, udon, shrimp tempura and mini chirashi sushi. The shari was firm and the neta tender, just perfect sushi. And here it comes, the super luxurious VIP sushi! ![VIP sushi spread with 4 extra pieces at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-12-1csqf-1200.webp) Everything except the 4 extra pieces of sushi on the right is included in the VIP set. I wondered whether there's any other sushi place that serves this much for the ₩30,000 range. It really is a great spread. ![VIP sushi board at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-13-1l6ne-966.webp) You've got to serve at least this much to call yourself a Hapjeong sushi hotspot and say "omakase-level." ![Salad, pickled shallots and clear soup served with the VIP sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-14-1dj3h-966.webp) It comes with salad, pickled shallots and clear soup, ![Udon served with the VIP sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-15-q7lwk-966.webp) ![Shrimp tempura served with the VIP sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-16-10dzp-966.webp) plus the udon that you'd miss at a Korean-style sushi place, and shrimp tempura too, so noodles and fried food are covered in one spread. ![VIP sushi 15-piece board and a separate plate of 3 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-17-1vizt-966.webp) ![Neta lineup of the aged sushi board at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-18-4vsua-966.webp) ### Aged neta and Dongui Bogam rice shari The VIP set has 15 pieces, and since they don't all fit on one board, 3 pieces come on a separate plate. They print out the list of types and give it to you, so it's fun to eat while knowing which neta you're having. The herring, tuna and white fish were all tender, with no fishy taste, and delicious. Real aged-sushi-place class. ![Aged salmon sushi at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-19-15cig-966.webp) ![A piece of aged sushi at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-20-1h1uv-966.webp) The moment I ate the salmon, I felt that they age fish well and that the shari is really good. They said they use Dongui Bogam rice, the rice omakase places usually use, and the rice is definitely delicious. The ankimo (monkfish liver) was also clean with no smell, and so rich and melty, it was crazy. ![Mini chirashi sushi served with the VIP sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-21-1rxnm-966.webp) The sushi portion is already big, and mini chirashi sushi comes too. That alone could be half a serving. ### Extra single items: prawn and tuna belly ![Prawn and tuna sushi added as single items](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-22-hri0z-966.webp) I like prawn and tuna, so I ordered these as extra single items. I also can't resist tuna belly. Rich, melty, and just insane. ![Tuna belly sushi added as a single item](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-23-12gx5-966.webp) ![The finished sushi spread at Hapjeong Sushi House](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter/hapjeong-aged-sushi-vip-platter-24-1koe1-966.webp) ## Is Hapjeong Sushi House worth going back to? Hapjeong Sushi House is a Hapjeong sushi hotspot I really enjoyed. I treated myself properly for the ₩30,000 range. With the portions and the flavor, there's nothing lacking at this truly great Hapjeong restaurant.
