Over dinner with a friend, the writer ordered the seafood platter for 42,000 won and the freshwater shrimp spicy stew for 28,000 won: chilled scallop, top shell, abalone and sea squirt first, then the hot stew with sujebi (hand-torn dough) to finish. Two people can eat their fill at Neoul Magok on these two dishes alone. ## Good to know - **Seafood platter**: 42,000 won (scallop, top shell, abalone, sea squirt and more — 6–10 kinds depending on the season, clam soup included) - **Freshwater shrimp spicy stew**: 28,000 won (sujebi, hand-torn dough, included) - **Address**: Unit 127, 1st floor, Magok I'Park, 90 Magokjungang 8-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Thu and Sun 17:00–02:00 / Fri–Sat 17:00–03:00 - **Parking**: Underground lot at the Magok I'Park shopping arcade; 3 hours free if you tell the staff - **Reservations**: Naver reservation, Instagram DM or phone - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Balsan Station Exit 1 - **Seating**: Tables for 2–4, with seats that can be pushed together - **Complimentary snack**: Gangnaengi (puffed corn snack) *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* I had dinner plans with a friend near Balsan a while back, and while figuring out what to eat, I ended up at Neoul Magok, a Balsan Station spot great for seasonal seafood with a soju or two 🙌🏻 It's a seafood pojangmacha (tented drinking spot) right in the middle of the Balsan pojangmacha street, known for its aged sashimi and generous seafood platters — instant pick!! ![Exterior of Neoul Magok, a seafood pojangmacha on the Balsan pojangmacha street](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-01-qiq3n-1200.webp) ## Neoul Magok: location, hours and parking 📍 Address 90 Magokjungang 8-ro, 1st floor unit 127, Magok Ipark, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea ⏰ Hours Mon–Thu, Sunday 17:00 – 02:00 Fri–Sat 17:00 – 03:00 🚗 Parking Underground lot at the Magok Ipark commercial building (tell staff for 3 hours free parking) 📋 Reservations Available via Naver Reservation, Instagram DM, or phone On weekend evenings or right after work it can get crowded, so if you're going with a group, booking ahead seems like the safer move! ### How to get to Neoul Magok from Balsan Station ![Directions to Neoul Magok on the 1st floor of Magok Ipark](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-02-qn948-900.webp) It's about a 3-minute walk from Balsan Station Exit 1, right in the Magokbalsan area's pojangmacha street packed with bars, so the whole vibe fits an after-work drink perfectly. It's on the 1st floor of Magok Ipark so it wasn't hard to find, and the pojangmacha-style storefront catches your eye even just passing by! When the weather's nice you can feel the outdoor tent atmosphere too, so anyone who loves that pojangmacha mood will love it even more. ## What is the atmosphere like inside? ![Interior of Neoul Magok with its retro pojangmacha atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-03-hlf0p-900.webp) Step inside and it's less of the sleek, trendy sashimi restaurant look and more of a retro pojangmacha feeling 😽 There's 80s-90s music playing and a comfortable vibe for a drink, which made it especially good for hanging out with friends. The tables fit 2–4 people easily, and there are seats you can push together, so it works fine for bigger groups too~ ![Seating with tables for 2–4 people](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-04-1jbm5-900.webp) It felt less suited to a quiet date and more like the kind of place perfect for chatting with friends over drinks, or for a company dinner with coworkers 💡 ## Neoul Magok menu and what we ordered ![Menu board showing the seafood platter and jjigae options at Neoul Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-05-1vi77-669.webp) That day we ordered the seafood platter for 42,000 won, and since we were craving something hot, we also got the freshwater shrimp jjigae (spicy stew) for 28,000 won. Neoul also has menus like aged sashimi platter, steamed seafood, and whelk soup in a metal bowl, so with a bigger group you could order a bunch of things to share as drinking snacks ➰ ![Menu board listing seasonal specials and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-06-1ajdu-714.webp) There are also seasonal specials and a wide range of drinks. ![Basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-07-gn17d-900.webp) The basic side snack is corn snack (gangnyeongi). Haven't had this in ages hahahaha ![Corn snack served as the basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-08-1v7m2-900.webp) ## What comes on the 42,000-won seafood platter? 🐚 Seafood platter, 42,000 won. This menu includes scallop, top shell, abalone, sea squirt and more — about 6 to 10 kinds of seasonal seafood depending on the time of year. The exact lineup can vary a bit by season or that day's supply! ![Seafood platter with scallop, top shell, abalone and sea squirt](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-09-j24eg-900.webp) Ordering the seafood platter comes with a small clam soup on the side. This was a surprisingly nice touch! The broth was clear and refreshing, not too intense right off the bat, and paired well with the seafood ✨ ![Clear clam soup served alongside the seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-10-1kv18-m-900.webp) The scallops were soft and moist, and the abalone was firm and fresh too. ![Soft scallop and firm abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-11-ms3d1-900.webp) The top shell was crunchy and chewy, seriously satisfying to bite into 〰️ ![Plate of crunchy top shell](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-12-h411b-900.webp) ![Close-up of the seasonal seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-13-1196d-900.webp) The sea squirt hit with that distinctive ocean scent the moment it went in my mouth. If you like seafood, this is the kind of combo that makes you crave soju automatically 🤭 ![Sea squirt with a distinct ocean scent](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-14-wp421-900.webp) ## Freshwater shrimp spicy stew, 28,000 won with sujebi 🍲 Freshwater shrimp jjigae, 28,000 won. A spicy stew with freshwater shrimp and sujebi (hand-torn dough bits) in it! ![Freshwater shrimp jjigae with sujebi](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-15-1ax3z-900.webp) The broth is spicy and refreshing, but there's a distinct savory, rich flavor from the freshwater shrimp that makes it feel a bit different from a regular seafood stew 😙 ![Rich, spicy broth of the freshwater shrimp jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-16-1vr13-900.webp) And then the sujebi inside!! Chewy dough soaked up all that spicy broth — eating it together with the soup was seriously so good 🤤 ![A spoonful of chewy sujebi soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew-17-1f4h5-900.webp) Starting off cold and clean with the seafood platter, then moving to the hot, spicy jjigae at the end — the combo was just right. Felt like getting your hangover cure in the same sitting as the drinking hahahaha. The portions were quite generous for two, so ordering the seafood platter plus the jjigae left us fully stuffed 🙌🏻 ## Who should go to Neoul Magok? - Anyone near Balsan Station wanting seasonal seafood with a drink - Anyone in Magok looking for a casual bar to go to with friends - Anyone looking for a spot for a company dinner or a bigger group - Anyone who loves that outdoor-tent-style seafood pojangmacha feeling With 3 hours of free parking supported too, it's great to visit even if you're driving! Next time I want to try the aged sashimi platter with the whelk soup combo, hehe. If you're ever near Balsan craving sashimi or seafood, Neoul Magok seems worth a visit. Highly recommend on a day you want good food with a drink!! 🙌🏻 ## Where it is - Neoul Magok (너울 마곡본점) - 90 Magokjungang 8-ro, 1st floor unit 127, Magok Ipark, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙8로 90 마곡아이파크 1층 127호 - 37.5604514, 126.8371351 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%84%88%EC%9A%B8%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5604514,126.8371351,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-takeout-tray/neoul-magok-seafood-platter-shrimp-stew/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
