Three of us had sigeumchi kodari-jorim at the standard spice level with pot rice, then added perilla-oil fried rice and nurungji. Verdict: the sauce-soaked siraegi and tender, moist pollock made this a memorable meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 60 Wolho-ro, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 하남시 월호로 60 1층) - **Hours**: Daily 11:20–22:00 - **Last order**: 20:50 - **Lunch hours**: 11:00–15:00 - **Closed**: Open year-round - **Parking**: Dedicated restaurant parking lot - **Spice levels**: Standard / spicy / extra spicy *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch in Deokpung-dong ![Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch in Deokpung-dong, Hanam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-01-1heof-1200.webp) My mom recently went to a gathering in Misa, Hanam, then brought us to a place she said was delicious. It was Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch (아빠찜 하남본점), a Deokpung-dong favorite where you can try all kinds of steamed dishes, from braised pollock to steamed monkfish and seafood. It is especially known as a Deokpung-dong favorite because at lunch you can enjoy braised pollock and fragrant pot rice at a good value. Mom raved about it as a Hanam restaurant, so I was curious—and after trying it myself, I was so pleased! ## Hours and parking - Address: 1F, 60 Wolho-ro, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 하남시 월호로 60 1층) - Hours: Daily 11:20–22:00 - Open year-round; last order 20:50 - Lunch hours: 11:00–15:00 - Parking: Dedicated restaurant parking lot > Korea’s first 180°C high-temperature steam with Maekbanseok stones Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch is said to be a steamed- and braised-dish specialist that cooks with Korea’s first 180°C high-temperature steam using Maekbanseok stones. The Sokcho-style braised pollock and pot-rice pairing is apparently so popular that people line up at lunchtime☺️ ![Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch steamed and braised-dish restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-02-axahv-966.webp) ![Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch braised pollock and pot-rice information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-03-7m08y-966.webp) ![Visiting Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-04-12cvy-966.webp) ![Inside Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-05-l6lfa-966.webp) They also use Suhyangmi rice for the pot rice, which has a subtle sweetness and pleasing stickiness. We visited on a weekday evening, thankfully getting in right away without a wait, but weekday lunch and weekends often have a wait—something to keep in mind if you are planning a visit! ## Siraegi braised pollock for three ![Table setting before the siraegi braised-pollock order](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-06-1569g-966.webp) ![Basic side dishes served with braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-07-1369c-966.webp) ![Roasted seaweed, bean sprouts, salad, and chilled cucumber soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-08-1ws2y-966.webp) The three of us ordered siraegi braised pollock, added pot rice, and chose the standard spice level. ⚠️Spice levels: standard / spicy / extra spicy⚠️ All the basic side dishes paired beautifully with the braised pollock: ✨roasted seaweed, bean sprouts, salad, and chilled cucumber soup✨. Having them alongside the pollock made the flavors feel even more abundant. ### How was the siraegi braised pollock? At last, the main dish—siraegi braised pollock—arrived! The braised pollock was topped with appetizing red sauce and generously filled with siraegi (dried radish greens), rice cakes, radish, and tofu. ![Braised pollock with siraegi, rice cakes, radish, and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-09-1sj17-966.webp) ![Red-sauced siraegi braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-10-17e4h-966.webp) ![Generous serving of siraegi braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-11-1r835-966.webp) Perhaps because Appa Jjim uses natural seasonings, the taste was not aggressively intense; instead, it had the deep, clean savory flavor of natural ingredients. They prepare the pollock themselves, so all you have to do is eat it—and it was incredibly moist and tender~ ![Moist, tender pollock flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-12-of1d4-966.webp) ![A plate of naturally seasoned braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-13-qxfur-966.webp) And the real star here was the siraegi! It had soaked up loads of that delicious sauce, so it had a great texture and was a total rice thief with the pollock meat…😋 The regular pollock is delicious too, but the siraegi is the masterstroke, so I recommend the siraegi braised pollock if you can! ![Sauce-soaked siraegi and pollock flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-14-161qk-966.webp) ![Siraegi braised pollock with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-15-mhn5k-966.webp) ### The pairing with pot rice The lightly sticky pot rice with the braised pollock was the ultimate pairing~ The rice itself had a gentle sweetness and was delicious on its own, but with the pollock? So, so good. ![Pot rice eaten with braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-16-12g1h-966.webp) My favorite was definitely wrapping it in roasted seaweed: ⭐️pollock + bean sprouts + roasted seaweed⭐️. The bean sprouts’ texture and the nutty seaweed came together for peak savory flavor. ![Pollock, bean sprouts, and roasted seaweed combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-17-1yhhq-966.webp) ![Pollock and bean sprouts wrapped in roasted seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-18-795vl-966.webp) The sauce was so good that we even added fluffy fried rice scented with perilla oil—K-dessert! Then we had hot nurungji (scorched rice soup) from the pot rice, and it truly felt like we had enjoyed a proper meal. ![Fluffy fried rice scented with perilla oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-19-1q5k3-966.webp) ![Hot nurungji made from pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-20-1bmw4-966.webp) ## Tender pollock and gently seasoned sauce ![Finishing a braised-pollock meal at Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-21-1qdaa-966.webp) From the flavor to the portion size, I was happy with ❤️Appa Jjim, a braised-pollock favorite in Misa, Hanam❤️. The pollock flesh was truly tender, and the sweet-and-spicy sauce had soaked in nicely, making it perfect with rice! ![Tender pollock flesh with sweet-and-spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-22-1c8sq-966.webp) ![Braised pollock eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-23-i2jjo-966.webp) ![A generous braised-pollock meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim-24-1gnir-966.webp) Most of all, the sauce was not overly spicy or sweet; it had a gentle savory flavor that kept drawing me back for more~ I absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves braised pollock, and it is great for a generous meal, whether for a Misa family outing or a Misa company dinner! ## Where it is - Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch (아빠찜 하남본점) - 1F, 60 Wolho-ro, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 하남시 월호로 60 1층) - 경기도 하남시 월호로 60 1층 - 37.5543544, 127.2085414 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EB%B9%A0%EC%B0%9C%20%ED%95%98%EB%82%A8%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5543544,127.2085414,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@second-table-street/hanam-codari-siraegi-appajjim/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
