I visited with a close younger friend for 20 plump raw shrimp sashimi, wrapping it with seaweed, white kimchi, and wasabi, then dipping it in Buldak mayo. Verdict: a date spot I’d happily return to whenever I’m craving raw shrimp sashimi. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 16:00–01:00 / Fri–Sat 15:00–02:00 / Sun 15:00–01:00 - **Alcoholic drinks**: ₩5,000 - **First-floor seating**: Round tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ## Susan Sadang Main Branch, an izakaya in Sadang’s dining alley I visited Susan (수산) Sadang Main Branch with a close younger friend for a little date in Sadang! It’s a delicious seafood restaurant with a great atmosphere, located in Sadang-dong’s dining alley, so it was easy to find. ### Hours - Mon–Thu 16:00–01:00 - Fri–Sat 15:00–02:00 - Sunday 15:00–01:00 As you can see from the hours, they stay open pretty late, right? I visited on a Tuesday and ate my fill until 12:30 before heading home haha. ### Outside Susan Sadang Main Branch ![Exterior of Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-01-6t2dl-900.webp) The place is large, so it was easy to spot at a glance. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, it didn’t feel stuffy and had an open, almost outdoor-dining feel. ![Susan Sadang Main Branch exterior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-02-uyy2o-900.webp) I visited around 10, so luckily there was no wait, but it seems like this is normally a place with a queue. If you’re planning to come during peak hours, I recommend reserving ahead on Naver. ![Menu information at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-03-1xlrv-692.webp) ## I saw the raw shrimp sashimi and ordered it as if hypnotized They had halibut, salmon, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), yuk sashimi (raw beef slices), and more, along with cooked dishes such as mala beef-tendon fish cake. I was wondering what to get, when raw shrimp sashimi caught my eye! I’d been seeing so much raw shrimp sashimi on Reels lately and wanted it so badly, so I ordered it as if hypnotized haha. Alcoholic drinks are reasonably priced at ₩5,000 too. ![QR ordering menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-04-1plyj-900.webp) You can order using the QR code at the table, and I took screenshots mainly of items that weren’t on the menu board above. There was even steamed whole chocolate squid? plus spear squid sashimi and raw shrimp sashimi maki. The cooked dishes also included sweet shrimp soba noodles, ankimo maki, and pollock-roe cream udon—so many things looked delicious. It was such a hard choice!! ![Interior space at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-05-zd53d-900.webp) ![Table area inside the izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-06-1kugc-900.webp) ![First-floor interior of Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-07-sfeii-900.webp) ## Round tables and sake-bottle lighting The first floor was made up entirely of round tables. There were cute lights made from sake bottles, perfect for the izakaya vibe of a Sadang bar haha. ![Lighting made from sake bottles](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-08-w6dbg-900.webp) When we sat down, they served us each a glass of sake as an aperitif. It had been a while since I’d casually enjoyed sake, so it was a lovely little change of pace. ![A glass of sake served as an aperitif](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-09-1wyn8-900.webp) The fortune-charm-shaped wet wipe was so cute that I had to take a photo too..♥ ![Fortune-charm-shaped wet wipe](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-10-17giq-900.webp) ## 20 raw shrimp sashimi and the perfect accompaniments Finally, the raw shrimp sashimi I’d been waiting for appeared! It came with a whopping 20 shrimp, so the portion was generous, and the shrimp themselves were incredibly plump. Even the pretty ginger-flower garnish was such a thoughtful touch! ![Twenty raw shrimp sashimi with a ginger-flower garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-11-9nh6u-900.webp) I loved that it wasn’t just raw shrimp—there were plenty of accompaniments to enjoy with it: white kimchi, a sweet sauce, gochujang (Korean red chili paste), and Buldak mayo! The Buldak mayo here is seriously delicious. It goes so well with the raw shrimp. ![Raw shrimp sashimi with white kimchi accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-12-1abxc-1200.webp) I tried taking a photo with the flash on. Even more glowy-looking... I couldn’t resist alcohol, so we ordered some too. Seriously, it still looks so delicious when I look at it again. ![Raw shrimp sashimi and drinks photographed with flash](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-13-1s32v-900.webp) Just how plump were the shrimp?.. Even compared with my index finger, they were really thick and long, so they passed the visual test right away. ![Plump raw shrimp compared with a finger](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-14-f7ohy-900.webp) Pile a plump raw shrimp, white kimchi, and wasabi onto seaweed and wrap it up—it’s honestly knock-you-out delicious... Please, please try this combination. Or simply dip it generously in chojang (sweet-and-tangy chili dipping sauce) or Buldak mayo; it’s delicious that way too!!! Raw shrimp really is the best 💗💗 ![Raw shrimp sashimi with seaweed and white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan-15-bkd9j-900.webp) We’d originally planned to stop by lightly as a second round and try aged sashimi or yuk sashimi, but the raw shrimp sashimi was so good that we ended up drinking two bottles ㅎ.ㅎ The quality of the food is so good that next time I’m definitely coming back for yuk sashimi and beef-tendon hot pot! I highly recommend it as a date spot thanks to the delicious food and atmosphere 😆 ## Where it is - Susan Sadang Main Branch (수산 사당본점) (수산 사당본점) - B1F–1F, 17 Nambusunhwan-ro 271ga-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 동작구 남부순환로271가길 17 지하1층, 1층) - 서울특별시 동작구 남부순환로271가길 17 지하1층, 1층 - 37.4778717, 126.9790119 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%98%EC%82%B0%20%EC%82%AC%EB%8B%B9%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4778717,126.9790119,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-night-glass/sadang-saengsaeuhwe-izakaya-susan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
