Aged sushi set in Songdo: white fish-to-crab eating order, Sushi Doku

Today I'm introducing a great-value sushi spot in Onesta Mall in Songdo: Sushi Doku The Songdo! It's near Songdo Triple Street and Songhyeon-a, so it's an easy place to drop by, and the quality is really good~

Sushi Doku The Songdo location, hours and parking

Sushi Doku The Songdo (스시도쿠 더송도) is on the 2nd floor of Onesta Mall, 157 Songdogukje-daero, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. It's open 11:00–21:00 (break time 14:30–17:00, last order 20:15). There's a private parking lot, and if you park at Onesta Mall you get 2 hours free!

Here's the exterior! It promotes traditional aged, 100% live sushi, and the entrance already feels like a specialty restaurant.

It's on the 2nd floor of Onesta Mall! This is how it looks from outside, and it totally has that Japanese restaurant vibe.

How long is the wait at Sushi Doku The Songdo?

There's a break time until 5pm, so I went in right after it ended, and within 10–20 minutes it was completely full, wow. You can join the waitlist remotely through Catchtable, so I'd recommend using that!

Sake display and curtained seats inside Sushi Doku The Songdo

This was the space that caught my eye the moment I walked in. A wide range of sake and traditional Korean liquor is on display, so it felt like an izakaya (Japanese pub) in Japan.

The inside of Sushi Doku The Songdo! Soft lighting and wood-tone interiors come together for a warm, cozy mood. Fabric curtains hanging from the ceiling divide the space while still giving it Sushi Doku's own charm.

Japanese-style touches all around the interior stood out too ദ്ദി •⤙• )

Each table has wet wipes and chopsticks. The chopstick wrapper held a brush and chopsticks, and the spoons are separate in the table drawer. I've never been given such a big brush before ₍ᐢෆ ·̫ ෆᐢ₎

What order should you eat the Premium Sushi Special Set in?

The classy Premium Sushi Special Set, ₩25,900, ta-da~ here comes the menu! When the food arrives at Sushi Doku The Songdo, the staff recommend an eating order! They said it tastes best if you start with the white fish, then salmon and tuna, then eel, shrimp, crab and so on.

A generous spread of sushi set (ง *´▽`* )ว The Premium Sushi Special Set comes with not just sushi but also udon, chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard) and tempura, so it's really filling.

Truffle chawanmushi! It's springy yet melts softly, and a subtle truffle aroma spreads over it for a luxurious flavor! Perfect to eat before or after the sushi ♡

They also pour soy sauce into the little dish that comes with it. The soy sauce isn't too salty, more like a sashimi soy sauce!

So pretty.. sushi lovers are happy ( ˊ ᵕ ˋ )♡.°⑅ The set is well put together, and I wondered if this would really fill me up, but I got super full.

You brush the soy sauce onto the sushi with the provided brush. They coat it so carefully.

Flounder sushi with ankimo and flame-seared eel sushi

Flounder sushi! Chewy, clean-tasting flounder topped with rich ankimo (monkfish liver)! The texture was great, and I could taste that distinctive ankimo flavor too.

The eel sushi, soaked in a sweet-salty sauce, had a smoky flame-grilled flavor on top that made it even deeper! Moist and soft, so delicious. Eating eel with wasabi is the key, right? >_<

A gunkan (sushi boat) piled high with monkfish liver! The rich, creamy nuttiness of the ankimo was so good.

Every piece of sushi at Sushi Doku The Songdo was high quality, with the deep savory flavor of aged sushi! The amount of rice was just right, and the sashimi on top was delicious in itself, so good.. Overall it was a neat sushi lineup that lets the ingredients speak for themselves haha.

Half-size udon with Nemo fish cake, plus salad

Half-size udon! It had tempura flakes and crown daisy (garland chrysanthemum) in it, with a clean, deep savory flavor!! It was slightly spicy, which made it even better. The chewy noodles stayed springy, and it was perfect to have alongside the sushi! There was even a cute Nemo fish cake inside haha.

Salad! Crunchy and nothing special, but nice for cleansing the palate between bites haha

Shrimp tempura and karaage

The Premium Sushi Special Set came with shrimp tempura and 2 pieces of karaage, and the karaage wasn't greasy at all, juicy and so delicious.

The shrimp tempura especially was seriously huge;; crispy outside, juicy inside, wow. The shrimp inside the crunchy batter was still springy, and with the sauce it tasted even richer!

Plum tea for dessert, plus mouthwash and floss

On your way out you can have warm plum tea as dessert, and there's mouthwash and floss at the counter too! Such thoughtful touches, love it (♡´౪`♡) Also, I want that sushi keychain.
