On a Friday evening with friends, the Haetan Combo Set arrived with squid stir-fry, bossam (boiled pork), spicy squid salad and fried squid, and the hot plate kept the stir-fry warm down to the last bite. With bean sprout cold soup at the self-serve bar and soft-serve ice cream on the way out, Haetan Seolleung Branch is an easy pick for sharing a meal with a group. ## Good to know - **Name**: Haetan Seolleung Branch - **Address**: 2nd floor, 15 Seolleung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 11:00-22:00 (break 15:00-16:00) - **Parking**: Not available - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation - **Getting there**: 10-minute walk from Exit 2, Seolleung Station - **Ordered that day**: Haetan Combo Set - **Lunch perk**: Unlimited rice refills at lunchtime - **Freebie**: Self-serve soft-serve ice cream *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![The Haetan Combo Set spread at Haetan Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-01-1b42p-966.webp) I had a dinner plan near Seolleung Station and was trying to figure out what to eat, when squid stir-fry popped into my head — so I headed to Haetan Seolleung Branch. The area around Seolleung Station is full of office workers, so on weekday evenings you end up looking for a restaurant good for company dinners or get-togethers. This time I ordered the Haetan Combo Set, perfect for sharing a bunch of dishes with a group, so here's my review! ## Where is Haetan Seolleung Branch, and what are the hours? Haetan Seolleung Branch is on the 2nd floor of 15 Seongneung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Hours are 11:00-22:00, with a break time from 15:00 to 16:00. There's no parking, but Naver Reservation is available. - Name: Haetan Seolleung Branch - Address: 2nd floor, 15 Seongneung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: 11:00-22:00 (*break time 15:00-16:00) - Parking: Not available - Reservations: Available via Naver Reservation ### How to walk there from Seolleung Station A 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Seolleung Station. ### What the building and entrance look like Haetan Seolleung Branch is on the 2nd floor of the building, and even on a first visit it wasn't hard to find. ![Exterior of the building where Haetan Seolleung Branch is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-02-5x7xd-966.webp) ![Stairway entrance leading up to the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-03-1jhb1-966.webp) The building had an elevator, but I walked up, and as soon as I got to the top, Haetan was right there in front of me. ![Entrance to Haetan Seolleung Branch seen straight ahead on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-04-lpw0c-m-966.webp) If there's a wait, you write your name at the entrance and wait your turn. If you'd rather skip the wait, book ahead through Naver Reservation :) ![Waitlist sign-up area at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-05-bkhby-966.webp) ## Inside Haetan Seolleung Branch and the self-serve bar Right in front of the entrance at Haetan Seolleung Branch is a self-serve bar, with seating on either side. The place was much bigger inside than it looked from outside — I was surprised. ![Restaurant interior with seating on both sides of the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-06-1hgv2-966.webp) The tables had plenty of space between them, and there was even a room-style separated area at the back of the restaurant, so it looked like a good spot for larger groups too. ![Spaced-out tables and the inner room area](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-07-1s8ms-966.webp) Maybe because it was a Friday, a lot of tables were already having company dinners. ![Restaurant filled with Friday evening company dinner tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-08-iwy0u-966.webp) There's a self-serve bar in the middle of the restaurant, and apparently rice refills are unlimited at lunchtime. If my office were nearby I think I'd come here all the time haha. ![The self-serve bar in the center of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-09-1tck6-966.webp) At the self-serve bar there were basic side dishes, roasted rice tea (sungnyung), and a chilled bean sprout soup — the cold soup was so refreshing and delicious. ![Basic side dishes, roasted rice tea, and chilled bean sprout soup at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-10-e71bi-966.webp) ![Side dishes and cold soup brought back from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-11-4ibag-966.webp) And Haetan was also running a fun event! haha You guys should try it too. ![Sign announcing an event running in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-12-9m8jj-m-966.webp) At the entrance there was a thoughtful little station with a charging spot, hair ties, toothpicks, and even dental floss. ![Charging station with hair ties, toothpicks, and dental floss at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-13-pqkk1-966.webp) ## What comes with the Haetan Combo Set? Haetan's signature dish is the hot-plate squid, but since I wanted to try a bit of everything, I ordered the Haetan Combo Set this time :) ![Menu board at Haetan Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-14-1d1fi-966.webp) ## How the hot-plate squid stir-fry, bossam and fried squid tasted Ordering the Haetan Combo Set at Haetan Seolleung Branch means the basic side dishes get set out first. ![Basic side dishes set out after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-15-dzbb8-966.webp) Right after, the spicy squid salad came out — squid tossed with minari (water dropwort) and other fresh vegetables in a sweet-and-tangy sauce that really woke up my appetite! ![Spicy squid salad with minari tossed in a sweet-and-tangy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-16-14xop-966.webp) And the baek-kimchi (non-spicy white kimchi) was mild, exactly the kind you want for wrapping around bossam or squid stir-fry. ![Mild baek-kimchi served for wrapping](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-17-1fex1-966.webp) And the main dish, the squid stir-fry, had squid so tender, coated in a spicy sauce with a hint of smoky char — exactly the kind of side dish that calls for a drink. Since it came on a hot stone plate, the heat lasted a long time, so I could keep eating it warm the whole way through. ![Spicy squid stir-fry served on a hot stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-18-bcve9-1200.webp) The squid stir-fry was already delicious on its own, but wrapping it with Haetan's side dishes made it even better. ![Squid stir-fry wrapped with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-19-wuuod-966.webp) And the bossam had absolutely no gamey smell, super tender and delicious. ![Tender boiled bossam pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-20-1gqdx-966.webp) ![Picking up a piece of bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-21-xmdx3-966.webp) This time I tried baek-kimchi with the spicy squid salad on top. This combo is so good!!! Highly recommend. ![Combination of baek-kimchi topped with spicy squid salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-22-14jor-966.webp) The last dish was the big fried squid pieces. I worried something that size might be chewy, but that worry was totally unfounded — it was really tender and salty in the best way, exactly the kind of thing that calls for beer! My friends and I ended up having a bottle of beer each that day haha. ![Large pieces of fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-23-1mauq-966.webp) And on the way out after finishing our meal, Haetan's ice cream service! You can help yourself to soft-serve, and it was smooth and sweet, the perfect palate cleanser. ![Self-serve soft-serve ice cream on the way out](https://img.superchart.com/images/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang-24-1mcdj-966.webp) ## Is Haetan Seolleung Branch worth it for a group dinner? I originally just went because I was craving squid stir-fry, but it turned out to be a much better spot for group dining than I expected! Ordering just the squid stir-fry is great too, but if you're visiting with a group, going for a variety of dishes like the Haetan Combo Set is also a great option. This place works whether you're an office worker looking for lunch near Seolleung Station, having a work dinner, or meeting friends in the area. If you're near Seolleung Station and looking for a place to enjoy spicy squid stir-fry alongside a hearty spread of Korean dishes, definitely check out Haetan Seolleung Branch :) ## Where it is - Haetan Seolleung Branch (해탄 선릉점) - 15 Seongneung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로86길 15 지상2층 203호,204호 - 37.5034988, 127.050937 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%ED%83%84%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5034988,127.050937,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@salted-rice-page/haetan-seolleung-friday-dinner-hansang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
