## In short

Samsami-ne Gyeongpodae Main Branch is a sashimi restaurant near Gyeongpo Beach in Gangneung, next to the St. Johns Hotel, with 25 years of serving red sea bream yubiki (thin-sliced raw fish). After a first round of kaljjebi (hand-torn noodle soup) upstairs in the same building, the writer came down to a window table at Samsami-ne and ordered the value assorted sashimi set for two at 70,000 won, which arrived with vinegar-gochujang mulhoe (cold raw fish soup), a stone-bowl steamed egg and a generous side dish spread. It is an easy, good-value seafood stop to slot into a Gyeongpodae travel course.

Went to Gangneung's Gyeongpodae area and stopped by Samsami-ne, a red sea bream yubiki specialist that even locals swear by! 🐟🐟

You always agonize over which sashimi place to pick when planning a Gangneung trip 😮😮 I did my research too and found this spot near Gyeongpodae that locals rate highly for yubiki, so I bookmarked it right away — a Gangneung sashimi restaurant recommendation!

This is the exterior of Samsami-ne. There's a Gangneung Kaljjebi place on the 2nd floor, so we had our first round there and then came down for round two at Samsami-ne's pocha (street tent) section.

It's right near Gyeongpo Beach, so it slots naturally into your travel route.

Out front there's a row of fish tanks, with live fish swimming under blue lighting — it just screams "the sashimi here must be fresh."

Not cup tteokbokki but cup mulhoe to go..!! Taking it out and eating by the sea sounds maximum romantic.

## Inside Samsami-ne: the window seats by Gyeongpo Beach

Here's the inside of Samsami-ne! Pretty clean, right?

Plenty of tables with generous spacing between them, so it looked easy to use for family gatherings or group dinners too.

We grabbed a window table! You could see the parking lot and a bit of the view toward Gyeongpodae outside, so it was nice for eating with some atmosphere.

## What comes with the set: side dishes, mulhoe and steamed egg

As soon as we sat down, the basic setup was already laid out — lettuce, perilla leaves, shrimp, aged kimchi, vinegar-gochujang — the side dish lineup was hearty.

And the dishes we ordered came out! !

And here's one of the house's signatures, the vinegar-gochujang mulhoe! They pile radish strips and vegetables mountain-high over a sweet, tangy, spicy broth, and dipping the sashimi and veggies into the broth as you eat is really refreshing — the kind of flavor you keep craving.

The flesh was sliced so thin and translucent it caught the light, and the moment it hit my mouth it had this chewy bite — "ah, so this is why everyone raves about yubiki, yubiki."

The stone-bowl egg custard puffed up soft and fluffy — it passed the visual test right away! Great for cleansing the palate between bites of sashimi without any greasiness.

The seasoned mix and rice also came out shaped into cute little rounds!

I topped the sushi rice with a piece of sashimi, the seasoned vegetable mix, and some aged kimchi — absolutely delicious!

## Is Samsami-ne worth adding to a Gyeongpodae travel course?

Samsami-ne, the Gyeongpo Beach sashimi restaurant! ✨✨ If you want a proper sashimi spread during your Gangneung Gyeongpodae trip, this is a place I'd genuinely recommend. As a 25-year red sea bream yubiki specialist, you could tell the fish prep and thickness were clearly a cut above.

With mulhoe, egg custard, and a full set of side dishes, the value was satisfying too. It's a flavor that works well whether you're with family, friends, or on a couple's date, so I'd definitely suggest slotting it into your Gyeongpodae travel course ❤️
