I went for lunch to a Hanam spot famous for kodari (dried pollock), and after hearing the rumors, I made my way to Appa Jjim Main Branch — turns out I'm glad I did! I arrived right at noon, lunchtime, and the place was already fully booked. I'd reserved ahead, so I was able to be seated right away. ![Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch fully booked at lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-02-naoyo-1200.webp) ## Lunch special at Appa Jjim: braised pollock and pot rice for 15,000 won Appa Jjim Main Branch's lunch special is braised pollock and pot rice for ₩15,000, served from 11am to 3pm. Really solid value for the price. No wonder it's packed at lunch. One thing worth noting — no need to panic seeing it full. Turnover is fast, so staff seated us right away. > Hanam's go-to kodari (dried pollock) restaurant, Appa Jjim ![Exterior of Appa Jjim Main Branch on Wolho-ro in Hanam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-03-zbhnf-900.webp) ## Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch location, hours and free parking It's located at 60 Wolho-ro, 1st floor, Hanam-si, open daily 11:00–21:50. Break time is 15:00–15:30, with last order at 20:50. Parking is free. There's a large lot right in front of the restaurant, so parking is easy. Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch specializes in jjim (steamed dishes) and braised dishes cooked over 180-degree maekbansuk (roasting stone) steam. Their standout lunch menu is the Sokcho-style braised pollock with freshly cooked pot rice — a Hanam favorite people line up for. The pot rice reportedly uses suhyangmi rice, prized for its gentle aroma and sticky texture, with real care put into it. ## Inside Appa Jjim: the private group room and dining area The lunch special — braised pollock and pot rice for ₩15,000 — draws a huge crowd for its value, and even the parking lot was already full when I arrived. There's clearly a reason so many people come here! At the entrance, you can see traces of visits from well-known figures. One more thing — they've installed an ultrasonic bubble washer, so it felt clean and reassuring to eat there. ![Notable visitor mementos displayed at the entrance of Appa Jjim Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-04-1gwsu-m-900.webp) ![Interior with signage about the ultrasonic bubble washer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-05-dg6mn-m-900.webp) They say they were the first to use 180-degree maekbansuk cooking, making for even tastier braised dishes. The place was already full by then. I guess everyone shares the same desire to find delicious food at a good price. ![Fully seated dining hall at Appa Jjim Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-06-ov0eu-900.webp) ![Separate private room for group gatherings at Appa Jjim Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-07-mwhhy-m-900.webp) They also run a separate, private room, great for group gatherings, work dinners, or family meals where you want a bit more privacy. ![A note posted by the owner on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-08-k7sy3-900.webp) This looked like a note the owner had put up, and I liked it enough to snap a photo. It's even better when the same sentiment is expressed like this and actually put into practice, haha) ## Appa Jjim menu and what we ordered ![Menu board listing jjim, braised, and soup dishes at Appa Jjim Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-09-1pssq-m-900.webp) Appa Jjim Main Branch isn't just about braised pollock — true to a jjim specialty restaurant, there's a wide variety: steamed dishes, braised dishes, soups, lunch specials, and side dishes to suit any appetite. As the weather turns chilly, I hear the soup dishes are getting popular too. ![Menu board with lunch specials and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-10-nmnb0-900.webp) We ordered siraegi kodari-jjim (braised dried pollock with radish greens) for ₩35,000, suhyangmi pot rice for two at ₩5,000, crispy seafood pancake for ₩16,000, and a drink for ₩2,000. I wanted to try the star dish, the braised pollock, and the crispy seafood pancake also looked incredibly good. ![Sign explaining the review perk program](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-11-3gysq-900.webp) There's a fun little review-based perk system to enjoy too. Adds a nice bit of fun. ## Banchan and the basic table setting A sweet-and-sour cold seaweed soup comes out, which is a nice, clean way to finish the meal. The braised pollock is also great wrapped in a piece of dried seaweed for a whole different flavor. ## The main spread: siraegi kodari-jjim and suhyangmi pot rice ![Full spread of siraegi kodari-jjim, seafood pancake, and suhyangmi pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-12-jewmh-900.webp) The table was set with the siraegi-loaded braised pollock, crispy seafood pancake, and suhyangmi pot rice. Freshly cooked pot rice needs no introduction — the gentle rice aroma rising up made my mouth water instantly. First things first, dig into the rice~ haha Pot rice is best the moment it arrives. I gently lifted the lid, scooped a spoonful, and couldn't resist the tempting smell — took a bite right away, and yep, delicious as expected. ![Suhyangmi pot rice with the lid removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-13-1txlf-900.webp) A staff member trimmed the braised pollock into easy-to-eat pieces for us — quick hands, really. They cut the radish greens into nice bite-sized pieces too. ![Braised pollock and radish greens trimmed by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-14-1jepo-900.webp) Taking a bite of pot rice topped with the braised radish greens, I thought — ah, this is exactly the flavor that keeps people coming back. ![Pollock meat and radish greens placed over pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-15-1pliy-900.webp) ![A seasoned piece of braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-16-1wcmw-900.webp) ![Close-up of radish greens inside the braised pollock dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-17-1yhc7-900.webp) The braised radish inside the siraegi kodari-jjim needs no explanation, haha) There's tofu too, so it's fun picking what to eat, plus chewy rice cakes rounded things out perfectly. ![Braised radish, tofu, and rice cake inside the braised pollock dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-18-1sr2v-900.webp) On a sheet of dried seaweed, layer on clean bean sprouts, then the braised pollock — and the radish greens are essential too. Add those in and it's straight to the mouth~ instant thumbs-up flavor. That's probably exactly why so many people keep coming back. ![Dried seaweed wrap with bean sprouts, pollock, and radish greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-19-12k3s-900.webp) ![Scorched rice topped with radish greens to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-20-1wbn2-900.webp) I piled it on rice, then tried it again on the savory scorched rice at the end of the meal with the radish greens on top — and the conclusion was, no matter how you eat it, it's delicious. ![Crispy seafood pancake with a fried texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-21-1rqtr-900.webp) ## Crispy seafood pancake with an almost deep-fried texture Appa Jjim Main Branch's crispy seafood pancake really came out crispy. It looked less like a typical Korean pancake (jeon) and more like a deep-fried dish, and the crunchy texture kept my hand reaching back for more. ![A piece of seafood pancake dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-22-ynr84-900.webp) I dipped a piece into the sauce served alongside the seafood pancake and took a bite — the sauce made it even more delicious. ![Ice cream freezer and snack corner for after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-23-zl2hh-900.webp) ![Twisted doughnuts, sweet potato chips, and scorched-rice crackers for a palate cleanser](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room-24-1xbdq-900.webp) ## Free ice cream and snacks after the meal There was ice cream after the meal, along with twisted doughnuts, sweet potato chips, and scorched-rice crackers. The ice cream especially caught my eye as the perfect cool bite to finish things off. Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch, a favorite kodari (dried pollock) spot in Hanam and a great place for a Misa lunch gathering — definitely somewhere I want to come back to. ## Where it is - Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch (아빠찜 하남본점) - 60 Wolho-ro, 1st floor, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 하남시 월호로 60 1층 - 37.5543544, 127.2085414 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EB%B9%A0%EC%B0%9C%20%ED%95%98%EB%82%A8%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5543544,127.2085414,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@osan-evening-tray/hanam-misa-kodari-lunch-group-room/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
