Sitting at the dachi (counter) seats, two diners shared a premium kaisendon at ₩37,000 and an ilpumdong at ₩30,000, with chawanmushi, mini cold udon, and mango jam pudding rounding out the meal like a course. Go for the premium kaisendon if you want a variety of seafood, or the ilpumdong if you want to eat your fill of tuna. ## Good to know - **Location**: 112, 228 Gonghang-daero, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Tue-Sun 11:00-21:30, closed Mondays - **Break time**: 15:00-17:30 - **Parking**: Building parking supported, max 2 hours - **Premium kaisendon**: ₩37,000 - **Ilpumdong**: ₩30,000 - **Review event**: Naver receipt review gets you 2 free croquettes - **Seating**: Dachi (counter) seats, plus partitioned group and party seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I recently wanted a clean, satisfying Japanese meal, so I went looking for a place — and I found a spot that really nails kaisendon (seafood rice bowl)!! 😍 It's Ilpum in Magok haha ## Ilpum Magok location, hours, parking - 📍 Location: 112, 228 Gonghang-daero, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - ⏰️ Hours: Closed Mondays / Tue-Sun 11:00 ~ 21:30 - ✨️ Break time: 15:00 ~ 17:30 - 🚗 Parking: Building parking supported *max 2 hours ## So many celebrity autographs right as you walk in!! ![Celebrity autographs hanging at the entrance of Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-01-1c72w-900.webp) A place tons of celebrities have visited°°° It even became a 'star-picked restaurant' after being featured on the KBS show Baedalwatsuda..!! ## Inside — from counter seats to group seating, fully equipped ![Dachi counter seats at Ilpum Magok facing the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-02-rl51z-900.webp) I especially liked the dachi (counter) seats, where you can watch the dishes being made right in front of you ![Partitioned group seating at Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-03-1t3g6-900.webp) The group tables are so nicely partitioned off too?!

Warm and silky egg custard >< It really wakes up your appetite before the main meal ![Chawanmushi steamed egg topped with gamtae](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-10-v5ci3-900.webp) ![Cross-section of chawanmushi with shrimp inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-11-1epdg-900.webp) Gamtae (roasted seaweed) on top and plump shrimp underneath haha. The gamtae aroma was really lovely! ## What we ordered - Premium kaisendon ₩37,000 - Ilpumdong ₩30,000 ## Premium kaisendon ₩37,000 The premium kaisendon I'd been so looking forward to! It comes with a mini cold udon topped with chicken karaage. It refreshes your palate when the broth from the sashimi starts feeling heavy. The udon portion is mini-sized too, so it wasn't overwhelming The rice is piled generously with all kinds of seafood 😍 It totally lives up to the name 'premium'.. ![Premium kaisendon piled generously with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-12-11i1g-900.webp) ![Premium kaisendon served alongside mini cold udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-13-1lwxf-900.webp) The sashimi was sliced thick all around, so each bite had great texture, and it was fresh with absolutely no fishy taste ❤️ ![A thick-cut piece of sashimi from the kaisendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-14-1fjss-900.webp) Salmon and salmon roe! Melts softly in your mouth°°° ![Close-up of salmon and salmon roe on the kaisendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-15-lieo3-900.webp) ![Close-up of vividly colored tuna sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-16-c4k26-900.webp) The tuna's color was gorgeous too. It was delicious wrapped in seaweed too... Sliced thick so the texture held up, and it was even better eaten in one big bite❤️ ![A piece of kaisendon sashimi wrapped in gamtae](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-17-1n9ep-900.webp) For me, wrapping it in gamtae was the tastiest way to eat it — that gamtae aroma is really something 😍 ## Ilpumdong ₩30,000 ![First look at the ilpumdong at Ilpum Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-18-1fty7-900.webp) Next, the ilpumdong we ordered together! Pretty appetizing-looking visual, right..ㅜㅜ ![Ilpumdong topped with minced tuna, salmon roe, and sea urchin](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-19-e5odv-1200.webp) The ilpumdong comes topped with minced tuna (tuna negitoro), salmon roe, sea urchin, and gamtae!! There was more tuna piled on top than there was rice underneath haha. Such a generous, budget-friendly portion that felt like it would burst your stomach! ![Minced tuna piled higher than the rice on the ilpumdong](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-20-i7r77-900.webp) It's also delicious eaten with salmon roe wrapped in seaweed ㅠㅠ None of the individual flavors are too strong — they blend together naturally haha ![Salmon roe and sea urchin piled on seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-21-9rcbo-900.webp) I also tried piling sea urchin and salmon roe together >< I was so happy °° ## A sweet, refreshing dessert to finish it off perfectly✨️ ![Mango jam pudding served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-22-11vbe-900.webp) As the meal was wrapping up, they brought out a pudding topped with mango jam for dessert! ![Close-up of pudding topped with mango jam](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-23-15uio-900.webp) ![A spoonful scooped out of the mango pudding](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon/ilpum-magok-ilpumdon-premium-kaisendon-24-u6924-900.webp) Mango is my favorite fruit, and mango jam?! 🧡 It had a gentle sweetness that wasn't overwhelming at all! A perfect ending!!! ## Final thoughts If you're craving kaisendon or a Japanese rice bowl in Magok, I definitely want to recommend Ilpum!! Above all, I got to enjoy fresh sashimi and seafood in a clean, satisfying way, and the plating was so pretty I took about 100 photos haha Personally, if you want to enjoy a variety of seafood, the premium kaisendon comes highly recommended!!!! If you're visiting with two people, I'd suggest ordering one kaisendon and one ilpumdong to share like we did ❤️ If you're looking for a nice-atmosphere Japanese restaurant and kaisendon spot in Magok, this is definitely worth a visit!
