Work has been so busy lately that by the end of the day I just want one tasty thing to comfort me, you know? So I made plans with a friend for the first time in a while and headed to Sangbong. I only meant to eat something light, but when I searched, I kept seeing so much talk about Hoepanjang near Sangbong Station that I got curious. ![Exterior of Hoepanjang Sangbong near Sangbong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-01-8wzta-900.webp) ## Hoepanjang Sangbong opening hours and atmosphere Hoepanjang Sangbong is open from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m. the next day, with last order at 2 a.m., and it is closed on Mondays. It's close to Sangbong Station, so it wasn't hard to find. The vibe the moment we arrived was cleaner than I expected, and I thought it would work for a date or a group get-together too. A slice of sashimi and a beer after work~ I'm happy before I've even eaten! The interior is fairly spacious, so it felt comfortable for a meal. Best of all, the staff guided us kindly, which put me in a good mood from the first impression. ![Spacious, clean interior of Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-02-1qg04-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-03-1h5ph-900.webp) ![Seating and interior of Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-04-sb8vc-900.webp) ## What did we order at Hoepanjang Sangbong? At Hoepanjang Sangbong we ordered the jumbo flounder platter. As soon as we sat down and ran through the menu, the aged sashimi spreads caught my eye. I usually prefer the deep flavor of aged sashimi over live-fish sashimi, so I picked aged flounder without a second thought. Honestly, freshness matters for sashimi, but the savory depth that comes from aging is totally different, right? That's probably why I was even more excited. The menu is varied, and there are sets that let a group try lots of different things, which I liked. I'll have to come back with a bigger group for drinks next time, haha. This time we ordered the jumbo flounder platter to go with a drink~ ![Aged sashimi menu at Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-05-tjt9s-900.webp) ![Hoepanjang menu set when ordering the jumbo flounder platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-06-f30w8-900.webp) ## What do the starters (skidashi) at Hoepanjang look like? The starters (skidashi, small side dishes served before the sashimi) at Hoepanjang Sangbong ranged from grilled saury, corn cheese and silkworm pupae (beondegi) to sweet potato tempura and shrimp tempura, filling the whole table. They started coming out one by one soon after we ordered, and this honestly surprised me. It wasn't a simple little offering at all; the table got full fast. The variety made it fun to look at, too. ![Starters laid out on the table at Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-07-84jks-900.webp) Ahh, this broth is so refreshing that I kept spooning it up, hahaha. Spicy yet cool, the kind of magic where you come for a hangover cure and end up drinking more. ![Spicy, refreshing broth starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-08-1afry-900.webp) It goes so well with soju, haha. I couldn't not order it, so I added a bottle of Hallasan too~ ![Hallasan soju added alongside the starters](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-09-djtps-900.webp) ![Hoepanjang starters including grilled saury and corn cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-10-6u69k-900.webp) ### Grilled saury, corn cheese and silkworm pupae The grilled saury was crisp outside and moist inside, savory with no fishy taste, and the corn cheese was sweet and soft, perfect as a palate cleanser. I was also oddly glad to see the silkworm pupae again after so long. Each little item brought a small bit of joy. ![Hoepanjang starters: grilled saury and silkworm pupae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-11-111sn-900.webp) ### Sweet potato tempura and shrimp tempura Sweet potato tempura and shrimp tempura came out as Hoepanjang starters too, and the quality was too good to call them mere sides. The crunch was alive and the texture was great; the sweet potato tempura was sweet and soft, so I kept grabbing more. The shrimp tempura had a plump, bouncy inside and was satisfying too. ![Crispy sweet potato tempura and shrimp tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-12-1seg0-900.webp) ![Plate of tempura starters at Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-13-13bj0-900.webp) Hot, moist, crispy outside and tender inside tempura~ how could we not eat them? We took a bite each before the sashimi arrived! ![Crispy-outside, tender-inside tempura tasted before the sashimi arrived](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-14-12qbb-900.webp) ## How does aged flounder sashimi taste different from live-fish sashimi? The aged flounder sashimi at Hoepanjang Sangbong starts out soft, then the chewy texture builds, and the more you chew, the more savory it gets. At last the main event, the aged flounder, arrived, and it was neatly arranged, so my expectations rose before I even ate. The flounder was translucent with a subtle sheen, and picking up a slice I could feel the springiness, so the freshness came through. ![Jumbo aged flounder sashimi platter at Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-15-nz1tm-1200.webp) One bite and it clearly has a different charm from live-fish sashimi. The umami that spreads gently through the mouth was very deep, and it wasn't overly intense, so you don't get tired of it however much you eat. ![A glossy slice of aged flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-16-15qaq-900.webp) Topping up with beer in between and inhaling slice after slice of sashimi, this is heaven~ ![Aged flounder sashimi enjoyed with beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-17-feo1d-900.webp) ![Table set with aged flounder sashimi and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-18-rcqpx-900.webp) ![Sashimi spread served with vinegared rice and special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-19-kh97m-900.webp) ### A full spread with seasoned rice, special sauce and seaweed The jumbo flounder platter at Hoepanjang isn't just sashimi; it comes with vinegared rice (choDaeri rice) and a special sauce too, so it felt like a proper full spread. I could see why people say it's good value. The portion is generous for two people, which I liked. It's served neatly, so it's good for a group too, hahaha. Wrapping it in seaweed like this is another treat, a real treat, haha. ![Aged flounder sashimi eaten wrapped in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-20-vh85f-900.webp) ![A seaweed wrap with flounder sashimi on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-21-4l3cf-900.webp) I could really feel the deep flavor aged sashimi is known for, so I was very satisfied. It has a clearly different charm from live-fish sashimi, so I think people who like aged sashimi will especially love it. ![Seafood ramyeon at Hoepanjang Sangbong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-22-zjluv-900.webp) ![Refreshing seafood ramyeon broth with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-23-1js45-900.webp) ![A bowl of seafood ramyeon eaten with aged sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work/sangbong-aged-flatfish-after-work-24-1ywrp-m-900.webp) ## Is the seafood ramyeon at Hoepanjang good with sashimi? We also ordered seafood ramyeon midway at Hoepanjang Sangbong, and it was a treat too. The broth was really refreshing, with a perfect hangover-cure feel. Maybe because of the depth that comes out of the seafood, it felt clearly different from regular ramyeon. Taking a sip of hot broth in between bites of sashimi made a pretty great combo. ## Why I recommend Hoepanjang Sangbong as an aged sashimi restaurant in Sangbong Hoepanjang Sangbong has decent value for money, so it was easy to visit without worrying, and I felt it's a place worth recommending for dates or get-togethers with friends. Next time I'd like to try other aged sashimi dishes too.
