My boyfriend wanted sushi, so I went looking for a good sushi place in Hapjeong and found Hapjeong Sushi House (합정초밥집)! It's close to Hapjeong Station and you can try a variety of thick-cut sashimi sushi. We were practically clapping like seals because it was so good, and it felt like too good a sushi spot to keep to ourselves!
Where is Hapjeong Sushi House?
Hapjeong Sushi House is on the 2nd floor of the building at 38 Dongmak-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, close to Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station. Just head up to the 2nd floor and you'll find it!
It's near Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station, so it's easy to stop by after work, and it's clean and comfortable enough to be a perfectly good blind date spot too!
Aged sushi from an owner-chef with a fine-dining background
There's a special reason I recommend Hapjeong Sushi House as a Hapjeong sushi spot: you get aged sushi made by hand by an owner-chef who came from overseas fine dining!
My boyfriend said it was by far the best sushi he's had lately, and I was genuinely surprised at how good it was too! It's the kind of high-quality sushi you'd expect at an omakase (chef's choice) sushi counter!
Naver receipt review event at Hapjeong Sushi House
Hapjeong Sushi House also runs an event if you write a Naver receipt review, so it's worth checking before you choose your menu :)
What did we order? I'll show you in just a moment!
Even the water cups are sushi cups: a fully committed concept
They first poured us water, and the cup itself was shaped like sushi, so you can tell they're really committed to sushi! It was unique and so much fun!
While we were chatting away, our order arrived! This is how I'd order as a couple!
What should two people order at Hapjeong Sushi House?
If two of you go as a couple, I recommend ordering one Hap sushi set (12 pieces, ₩24,000) and one Jeong sushi set (13 pieces, ₩28,000).
- Hap sushi set, 12 pieces, ₩24,000
- Jeong sushi set, 13 pieces, ₩28,000
Hap sushi set (₩24,000, 12 pieces)
- Price: ₩24,000
- Pieces: 12
- Comes with: mini udon, steamed egg, broth, salad
The set I chose was the Hap sushi set! You get 12 pieces in a wide variety, and the lineup is really generous and filling! It feels like eating a whole course meal at once! Everything comes neatly on one tray, and both the tableware and the freshness of the sushi were excellent!
My boyfriend's pick: the Jeong sushi set (₩28,000, 13 pieces)
- Price: ₩28,000
- Pieces: 13
- Comes with: mini udon, steamed egg, broth, salad
My boyfriend eats more than I do, so he ordered the Jeong sushi set! Maybe because it's the Jeong set, it has one extra piece. A little extra "jeong" (affection), you could say? And unlike the Hap set, it comes with abalone sushi!
Food tastes better when you know what each piece is, right? Hapjeong Sushi House wrote out what's in each set nicely! So that's how it's put together! Eating while knowing that with my boyfriend made it so much tastier.
How did the Hap sushi set taste?
The Hap set has such a wide variety, doesn't it? Every single kind was equally fresh and equally high in quality! No wonder it's sushi made by a fine-dining owner-chef!
Generously filled futomaki (thick sushi roll)
There was futomaki (thick sushi roll) too, so it was properly filling, and the generous fillings gave a rich flavor that filled my whole mouth :)
Ankimo (monkfish liver) sushi, the highlight of the meal
And then the ankimo came out! It's monkfish liver, served steamed, and it was honestly so, so good! A total kick! Just thinking about the ankimo sushi, I'm sure I'll be back to Hapjeong Sushi House!
Torched beef sushi full of smoky flavor
There was beef sushi too, with a strong smoky flame aroma that spread through my mouth the moment I ate it! Overall the quality was high and the fish was thick-cut, so I was even more satisfied!
We came for a dinner date, but it's a Hapjeong Station restaurant that works just as well for Hongdae/Hapjeong lunch or a weekend date!
Ending the Hapjeong sushi date with ice cream
After a hearty meal, on the way home my boyfriend and I happily had ice cream too! (The end of a food-loving couple's eating date -♥️) It was our first time going to a sushi restaurant as just the two of us, and I felt like we'd picked a really good Hongdae sushi spot, which made the day even happier!
If you're wondering where to go for a Hongdae or Hapjeong date, I really recommend Hapjeong Sushi House! Bye-bye!
