Road-trip conveyor sushi in Seosan: 30 plates at Mikado Sushi

I found a great sushi spot in Seosan while traveling!! I love sushi and eat it often, but this visit to Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch nailed value for money along with freshness and flavor, and I fell for it instantly. Let's get into the detailed review.

Is parking easy at Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch?

Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch has plenty of parking space right in front of the restaurant. That convenience was the first thing I loved! Driving there was really easy.

There was a reason I came haha. Being able to enjoy fresh sushi at a reasonable price without any guilt is a huge perk of this Seosan sushi spot~

How does the waiting work?

Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch is known enough that there's a wait during peak times, but you can quickly register on-site with CatchTable and wait somewhere cool and comfortable haha. The waiting area is kept really cool and pleasant, so even during the wait I didn't get tired. Small touches like this really raise a restaurant's class 👍

Events and new menu items I spotted while waiting ~ for your reference!

Inside the restaurant and seating layout

Finally, going in!!! Inside Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch, the lighting is bright and the whole interior is kept clean, which gave me confidence on the hygiene front. Seating is split into table seats and bar (dachi) seats.

• Table seats — spacious seating comfortable for families with young kids or groups visiting together
• Bar seats (dachi) — perfect for solo diners or pairs who want to enjoy the conveyor sushi up close

I took a spot at the bar seats! Being right in front of the conveyor belt made it super easy to grab whatever plate I wanted haha.

Once you sit down, they set out wasabi and soy sauce and pour a warm, savory soup too haha. One sip of that soup warming up your stomach, and you're ready to start the full-on sushi eating spree!!!

Danmuji (pickled radish), mini peppers and rakkyo (pickled shallots) were also going around on the conveyor belt! You scoop out as much as you want into your own bowl and put the rest back, which felt much more hygienic and fresh.

About 80 menu items and same-day ingredients

Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch has an incredible lineup of about 80 kinds of sushi and other food (tempura, desserts, etc.), so just watching the conveyor belt was a joy for the eyes.

All of this sushi uses only fresh ingredients sourced that very morning!! You could feel the vitality of the raw fish, and the rice temperature and seasoning were just right.

Beef, shrimp, eel and abalone sushi, a full-on feast

I ate as much of the sushi I wanted as I could haha. Here are photos of everything I devoured that day. Looks good, right???? Haha. Scanning the conveyor belt and picking up whatever caught my eye, the plates just kept stacking up haha. Beef sushi, shrimp sushi, eel sushi, abalone sushi — they all melted in my mouth the second they hit it. Thanks to the same-day freshness, there was zero fishy taste and everything was delicious!!

Order whatever you want with a simple Post-it note

If you're scanning the belt and the sushi you want isn't right there, don't worry at all! Write what you want to eat on a Post-it note and hand it to the chef, and they'll make it fresh on the spot and bring it right over. The chefs were so kind too, so I could enjoy whatever I was craving without any gaps 👏

I focused hard on salmon belly and tuna belly haha. I don't even know how many Post-its I handed in — it was that good, hehe.

I could see items like fried shrimp and takoyaki too~

And since I have a bit of a kid's palate, I had to grab the sweet shrimp sushi and egg sushi too haha.

₩2,100 udon and dessert too

After eating sushi so enthusiastically, I got a craving for warm broth, so I ordered udon too! The fact that all of this is ₩2,100 made it so easy on the wallet. Taking a sip of udon broth between sushi plates resets your palate, and then you're somehow ready to eat more sushi — such a funny experience haha.

I also neatly polished off macarons and fruit for dessert~

My honest thoughts after 30 plates

Picking away so mindlessly, I ended up eating a whopping 30 plates! It's, uh, fine,,, it was delicious, so that's all that matters haha. Even after cleanly finishing 30 plates plus udon, my stomach didn't feel heavy at all — the ingredients were so fresh and clean that it was a good, satisfying kind of full.

If you want to enjoy high-quality Seosan sushi to your heart's content without breaking the bank, whether solo or with family, don't hesitate — visit Mikado Sushi Chungnam Seosan Branch! Another delicious meal today 😊
