Late-night seafood restaurant in Ansan: Eochongye 1beonji

Here's the story of eating perfectly cost-effective, in-season grilled fresh shrimp at Eochongye 1beonji, a well-known spot on Bandal Island in Ansan! The shrimp were seriously huge and plump — I came home completely full!

Eochongye 1beonji hours and parking in Ansan

Eochongye 1beonji is open daily from 11:00 to 1:30am the next day. Check the image above for the full details :)

You can park in the basement parking lot inside the building, and since it's on the dining strip, street parking works too! I visited late at night so I just parked on the street!

10:30pm: the outdoor tent seats were already full

I visited around 10:30pm — pretty late — but there were still tons of people! Maybe because the weather's gotten cooler, they had outdoor tent seating set up, and it was completely full. The vibe was insane...

The inside of the restaurant is also really spacious. The tables have generous spacing, so it was comfortable while eating. The staff were super friendly too :)

Eochongye 1beonji menu and prices

Of course there's sashimi, but they also have a ton of other seafood, meal, and drinking-snack menu items. There are lots of options kids can eat too, so it seems great for family visits :) Or even for a group dinner. Sashimi is really expensive these days, so ₩65,000 for a large platter seems like a fair price. The portion looked really generous too!

• Salt-grilled fresh shrimp 1kg — ₩60,000
• Crab seafood ramyeon — ₩12,000

Side dishes and the seaweed soup

Eochongye 1beonji's basic table setting comes with all kinds of banchan (side dishes) and wraps, plus the sprouts and seaweed soup that no sashimi restaurant can do without! The seaweed soup was seriously rich. I finished a whole bowl haha.

I wanted to eat sashimi too, but 1kg of shrimp for two people already seemed like it'd be way too filling. So we decided to save sashimi for next time and just went with shrimp and crab seafood ramyeon today!

They brought us disposable gloves plus cotton gloves right away for peeling the shrimp!

Salt-grilled fresh shrimp, 1kg for 60,000 won

The fresh shrimp were so fresh they kept flopping around;; They piled on the salt generously, and even at a glance the shrimp looked huge and plump... thanks for coating them evenly in salt...

The salt-grilled shrimp cooked to perfection. The visual alone is just violent... doesn't it look amazing? It is amazing :>haha

They're seriously palm-sized. I got full quickly even eating just a few haha

Every table gets chojang (vinegar-chili sauce) and soy sauce set out, so you can eat with whichever sauce you like — but for shrimp I'm always team chojang!! So plump and springy it's insane!! The shrimp had this subtle sweetness that made it so delicious.

Crab seafood ramyeon, 12,000 won

The crab seafood ramyeon came out too, loaded with mussels, shrimp, crab, green onion, bean sprouts, and other savory, refreshing ingredients — the broth was seriously refreshing and spicy.

My boyfriend peeled all the shrimp for me so I got to eat super comfortably... We also tried it with ssamjang (thick soybean paste), and it went surprisingly well, so I'd recommend trying it with both ssamjang and chojang!

Two people finished the full 1kg: flounder next time

We cleared every last one, not a single shrimp left! They were so plump and springy with no fishy taste at all, so it was seriously delicious!! Looking at other tables, everyone was eating sashimi, and I saw reviews saying the sashimi is really good too, so next time I'm coming back for flounder!!

If you join the receipt review event, you can also get bone spicy stew depending on your party size! If you come with a group and get one bone spicy stew... the drinks would just keep flowing :0 haha. With delicious in-season salt-grilled fresh shrimp and affordable, tasty sashimi, I recommend Eochongye 1beonji, a top seafood restaurant in Ansan.
