Visiting with her husband on a Sunday at 6pm, the writer ordered the flatfish set and mulhoe (chilled raw fish soup) and received noodle-long strips of flatfish makhoe, an icy fruit-broth mulhoe, and side dishes of live abalone, sea squirt, mullet sashimi and soy-marinated shrimp. Seeing the live fish tank before eating made the flatfish mulhoe at Uridongne Yeonan Budu especially memorable. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Flatfish set + mulhoe (chilled raw fish soup) - **Visit time**: Sunday around 6pm, restaurant full but seated right away - **Parking**: Gangnam Market public lot, 1–2 minutes on foot, 600 won for the first 30 minutes, then 300 won per 15 minutes - **Time limit**: 2 hours when the restaurant is full - **Refill**: One free refill of the seasoned vegetables for the flatfish hoemuchim - **Price reference**: ₩600 ≈ $0.4 (2026-10-06) *as written by the visitor on Aug 11, 2026 · not checked with the business* ![Full flatfish spread at Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seongnam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-01-umjey-1200.webp) ![Table setting at Uridongne Yeonan Budu, a Seongnam-dong sashimi restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-02-g0l2r-811.webp) ![Table with the flatfish set and mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-03-11r25-966.webp) I visited a flatfish sashimi restaurant with my husband. We went to Uridongne Yeonan Budu, already a well-known Seongnam-dong restaurant. ![Restaurant interior packed with customers on a Sunday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-04-2fz26-819.webp) ## Sunday 6pm at Uridongne Yeonan Budu: was there a wait? I heard Uridongne Yeonan Budu Seongnam Main Branch gets busy on weekdays, so I went on a Sunday evening instead. We arrived around 6pm, and true to its reputation, the place was already packed with customers. Luckily there was a table free and we could eat right away. ## The live fish tank and the seafood side dishes that come first There's a big, beautifully clean fish tank right at the entrance, so the freshness of the live fish hits you the moment you walk in. We ordered the flatfish set with mulhoe. ![Live fish tank at the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-05-1637m-919.webp) ![Flatfish swimming in a clean, well-maintained tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-06-19zu7-541.webp) As soon as we ordered, live abalone, sea squirt, mullet sashimi, soy-marinated shrimp and other sashimi banchan covered the table — I was already amazed before the main dish even arrived. ![Table covered with sashimi banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-07-6n7ql-571.webp) ![Live abalone and sea squirt banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-08-1leno-631.webp) ![Plate of mullet sashimi banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-09-tfc9w-510.webp) ![Soy-marinated shrimp side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-10-1gezd-488.webp) ### How clean is the live fish tank, and what is the restaurant like? Looking at the fish tank out front really built my trust in the freshness here. The water is kept so clean that you could clearly see the flatfish swimming around. As a popular Seongnam-dong favorite, they say the place is always packed during meal times. ## Flatfish makhoe cut as long as noodles Uridongne's signature flatfish makhoe (rough-cut raw fish) is sliced into long, noodle-like strips, so it's visually striking right off the bat. I popped a piece in my mouth and there wasn't a hint of fishiness — just a chewy, bouncy texture that filled my mouth. The more I chewed, the more that distinctive nuttiness and clean, fresh flavor came through. ![Flatfish sashimi sliced long like noodle strands](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-11-e3z3m-748.webp) ![Flatfish sashimi picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-12-1eppg-568.webp) ## Why live fish and fruit broth make this mulhoe so refreshing ### Only live fish and live shellfish: how fresh is it? The freshness of Uridongne's mulhoe starts with using live fish straight from the tank. Since it's not frozen but freshly prepared from live fish on the spot, the chewy bounce and nuttiness of the sashimi really stand out. The moment it hit my mouth, the springy texture of the live flatfish was pure art — I couldn't put my chopsticks down! ![A bowl of mulhoe with live flatfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-13-90by3-664.webp) ### Naturally sweet fruit broth, not artificial syrup Instead of harsh seasoning, the broth is made with plenty of real ground fruit, giving it a deep savory flavor. It's a completely different kind of sweet-and-sour from sugar or store-bought sauces — clean and refreshing on the palate. One spoonful of the icy fruit broth and you feel that refreshing chill go straight through you — it's hard not to gasp a little. ![Icy fruit-broth mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-14-hd2rd-833.webp) ## Warm corn butter and kimchi jeon on the side Amid all the cold seafood, the warm banchan dishes that arrive raise the satisfaction even further. Steaming hot, savory corn butter and golden-fried kimchi jeon (pancake) come out together. Take a bite of the sweet corn butter, then tear off a piece of the spicy, crispy pancake, and your appetite just keeps going. Dishes kept coming out nonstop, so much that our wide table started to feel small — the owner's generosity was something else. ![Full spread of the flatfish set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth/seoknam-dodari-mulhoe-fruit-broth-15-juk6h-831.webp) ## Where do you park near Uridongne Yeonan Budu?
