Korean pub near Sadang Station for a wedding invite meetup: Sisibibi

Why we picked Sisibibi in Sadang for a wedding invite meetup

Sisibibi is a Korean-style cooking pub near Sadang Station, and I chose it for a wedding invitation meetup with my closest friends because of the seafood dishes and the pub vibe. I agonized over where to go, and while looking for somewhere easy for everyone to reach in Sadang, seafood plus a pub atmosphere looked so good that I booked right away and went!!!

Where is Sisibibi in Sadang, and what are the hours?

Sisibibi is at 163 Sadang-ro 30-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, on the second floor. There is no parking at the shop, so you'll need a nearby public parking lot. Hours are 17:00–00:00 Monday to Thursday, 17:00–01:00 Friday and Saturday, and 17:00–00:00 on Sunday.

It's a good place for the evening: a drink after work, or a second round late at night.

Just keep walking from Sadang Station Exit 8 and you'll reach Sisibibi. It's on the second floor deep in an alley, so if it's your first time, I'd recommend following a map.

Drinks!

What the three of us ordered at Sisibibi

There were three of us, so we ordered three dishes plus Bingtanbok (bokbunja, Korean black raspberry liquor) at Sisibibi 🍾

Basic starter snacks

Beef tripe and brisket motsunabe (hot pot) ₩31,000

Sisibibi's Korean beef tripe and brisket motsunabe is ₩31,000, and with the tripe and brisket in it the broth was rich and excellent. As a warm soup dish, it also suited eating in between rounds of drinks.

The nutty flavor of the tripe and the clean taste of the brisket come together, so it was a great dish for three people to share!

Sweet shrimp and barley doenjang raw fish set ₩45,000

Sisibibi's sweet shrimp and barley doenjang raw fish set (hoemuchim) is ₩45,000, and it was my favorite of everything we ordered that day! The sweet, springy texture of the shrimp went so well with the barley doenjang raw fish salad.

Above all, I love raw fish, and amberjack came out with it that day, which made me really happy 🐟 Eating the sweet shrimp together with the salad also made it a perfect drinking snack!

*slurp*

Chili nurungji eggplant fritters ₩23,000

Sisibibi's Chinese-style chili nurungji eggplant fritters are ₩23,000: crisp fried eggplant with a Chinese-style chili sauce. They even gave a generous amount of cilantro, so for cilantro lovers this was so delicious ⭐️

Bingtanbok bokbunja liquor ₩12,000

The Bingtanbok we ordered with the dishes at Sisibibi is ₩12,000, sweet and clean, easy to sip along with the food. Since this was a wedding invitation meetup, if you want a drink that goes comfortably with food rather than something too heavy, it's a good choice!

And we got the 30% review discount too, nicely done

How is Sisibibi as a meetup spot near Sadang Station?

The seafood at Sisibibi is incredibly fresh, and with boiled pork, hot pots and fried dishes there's a lot of variety, so it's easy to share dishes when you come with several people. The atmosphere isn't too loud either, so it was nice to chat over a drink.

If you want somewhere special near Sadang Station instead of the usual barbecue place or franchise pub, I recommend it >_< Thank you to my friends who came to my wedding invite meetup!
