On a Friday evening two diners ordered the sashimi platter plus seafood stew set for two at 110,000 won, which brought flounder, dab, mideoh (croaker) and tuna on the platter and octopus, abalone and blue crab in the stew.

Donghae Bada Hoetjip is at 1F, 5-11 Neulpureun 6-gil, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and it's open daily from 11:30 to 22:00. There's a private parking lot for customers. - By bus — take bus 14 and get off at the stop; it's about a 3-minute walk from there - By car — about 8 minutes from Dujeong Station ![Exterior of Donghae Bada Hoetjip, visible from the main road](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-02-1887s-834.webp) It's right near the Dujeong Segwang & Rich Villa apartments, across from Baekseok-dong Manghyang Bibim Guksu, so you can spot it straight from the main road :) I'd walk past it after work and always see it packed with people, so I'd been curious about it for a while — this time I finally got to find out ✨ ![Interior packed with customers on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-03-hrhs5-900.webp) ## What is Donghae Bada Hoetjip like on a Friday evening? Walking inside, the place was pretty packed — I guess because it was Friday evening! There were couples, families, and groups clearly there for a work dinner, all eating away 👀 ![Main hall with reserved seating and the entrance to a private room](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-04-1ger0-900.webp) There were private rooms and reserved seats already set up. I'd heard the sashimi here was fresh and delicious, and with all the buzz in the room, I was already excited before the food even arrived 🐟🤍 ## The order: sashimi platter and seafood stew for two, 110,000 won ![Menu board at Donghae Bada Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-05-16kfo-966.webp) *Source — Naver Place* ![Menu information posted in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-06-pv8yh-862.webp) ![Tall vertical menu sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-07-npsft-882.webp) There was so much on the menu I had a hard time choosing, so we went with the sashimi platter + seafood stew set for 2 (₩110,000) 😉 ![Table set with banchan and the sashimi platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-08-19qrv-849.webp) ### The banchan spread and what comes on the sashimi platter While I was still browsing the kiosk to see what else there was, they'd already brought out the banchan and the sashimi platter haha. The banchan lineup was salad, jeon (pan-fried fritters), grilled fish, silkworm pupae, bossam (boiled pork wrap), and seaweed soup :) I actually went back and forth for a while between the seafood stew and the seafood hot pot — in the end I thought, let's go spicy today! — and picked the stew. Having the seaweed soup on the side to go with it was a nice touch too 🤭 Look at this sashimi platter........ flounder, dab, mideoh (croaker), and even tuna — such a nice variety to try a bit of everything 🐟 Being a seasonal-sashimi specialist, they even had mideoh on hand, and the flounder was firm and subtly sweet — really good haha (note: this is how the platter was composed on the day I visited; the fish can change day to day depending on the season) ![Sashimi platter with flounder, dab, mideoh and tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-09-jatwn-900.webp) ### What goes into the seafood stew at Donghae Bada Hoetjip Partway through the sashimi, they brought out the seafood stew we'd ordered. It was loaded with octopus, squid, conch, abalone, roe, milt, small octopus, blue crab and more — really generous 🤍 ![Spicy seafood stew topped with octopus and blue crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-10-jx429-813.webp) ![Seafood in the stew prepped into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-11-11tca-900.webp) Everything was already prepped into bite-sized pieces so we could just eat without any hassle ✨ The seasoning was nice and spicy too — I thought it'd be perfect for fried rice afterward, but by then... our stomachs were already at capacity 🥹 ## Private rooms and high chairs: is Donghae Bada Hoetjip good for groups? ![Hallway seen on the way out after paying](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-12-b3kn8-867.webp) ![Interior of a separated private room for groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-13-ib574-900.webp) ![Private room seating with a baby chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-14-960oj-900.webp) On the way out after paying, I noticed there were several private rooms. They had baby chairs ready and the spaces were separated, which seemed ideal for family gatherings or work dinners with a bigger group haha. ![Sea squirts and sea cucumbers in the entrance tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-15-blfqo-900.webp) There were sea squirts and sea cucumbers in the tank by the entrance! Why did we only come as two..... If we'd come with about 4 people, we could've had sashimi plus added on extra seafood and tried all sorts of fresh things..... It was a little disappointing to walk out without getting to try them 🥹🥹 ![Outside Donghae Bada Hoetjip after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner-16-9skyq-883.webp) ## The verdict on Donghae Bada Hoetjip If you're looking for a clean, parking-friendly spot in Dujeong-dong, this seems like a solid choice for a work dinner or family gathering too :) With everything from seafood stew to seafood hot pot to sashimi on the menu, it's great for a group where everyone can pick what they like haha. Next time I want to come back with a few more people and try the seafood platter and seafood hot pot we missed out on this time 🤭 ## Where it is - Donghae Bada Hoetjip (동해바다횟집) - 1F, 5-11 Neulpureun 6-gil, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 서북구 늘푸른6길 5-11 1층 - 36.8300368, 127.1278472 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%ED%95%B4%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%ED%9A%9F%EC%A7%91/@36.8300368,127.1278472,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sochon-morning-broth/donghae-bada-hoetjip-dujeong-friday-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
