O Jangin Sonmat! Cool, refreshing flounder mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) and clean, comforting Korean dishes at this Magok restaurant near Magok Station. From raw fish to home-style Korean food, I'd recommend it for family gatherings or a meal out with kids in Magok.

I'm a cheerful mom raising a son who's basically a sunfish — always floating along, haha. Today my sunfish family went to a Korean restaurant in Magok perfect for family meals, known for cool mulhoe and a variety of Korean dishes.

This Magok spot is run directly by a chef with 40 years of experience, having worked at places like Korea House, Olympia Hotel, and Samjung Hotel, so I had high expectations. Today I'm introducing 《O Jangin Sonmat》, a mulhoe restaurant near Magok Station.

Order — Flounder mulhoe x3, ₩36,000 (choice of noodles or rice)

Side dishes and pollack seaweed soup

The neatly arranged side dishes were clean and light in flavor overall. They paired well with the main dish and also worked nicely with rice, so it was fun tasting each one.

Ordering a main dish comes with pollack seaweed soup on the side — the milky, mild broth carried a subtle, savory pollack flavor that was every bit as good as the main dish itself.

How was the flounder mulhoe?

The flounder mulhoe looked refreshingly cool just from a glance. It was loaded with fresh flounder sashimi and crisp vegetables, and the house-made sauce added a clean yet deep flavor to the broth.

The fresh ingredients and the sauce's savory depth blended together naturally. Each spoonful pulled me in more — it tasted even better the more I ate. It's the kind of dish that would hit the spot perfectly on a hot day or when you have no appetite.

Noodles or rice — which to choose?

Personally, I loved that you could enjoy it different ways with noodles or rice. Adding noodles into the cool mulhoe broth was delicious, and adding rice turned it into a hearty, filling meal.

The flounder's soft texture was great, and the crisp vegetables mixed with the tangy, savory sauce came together beautifully in one bowl. It was refreshing without being too light, which made it a satisfying meal on its own.

Above all, what I loved about 《O Jangin Sonmat》 was the care that went into every dish. It was also impressive that they use house-made sauce to finish the flavors. Maybe that's why the whole menu felt non-spicy and mild, yet still deeply flavorful.

After finishing the meal, I wrapped things up leisurely with a cup of coffee. Having a filling, delicious lunch after a while put me in a great mood.
