I've been several times, and it crossed my mind, so I decided to go again. ![Entrance of Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-03-curp8-740.webp) Sushi Doku is a place you can trust. It's delicious enough to rank number 1 on Naver search among sushi restaurants nationwide. ## Weekend waitlist at Sushi Doku The Songdo: how long even right after opening? Even arriving around 11:10 on a weekend, right after opening, I got waitlist number 12 and waited 1 hour. On weekends, I'd recommend arriving before 11:00 if you can. ![Joining the waitlist at Sushi Doku The Songdo right after weekend opening](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-04-1fezs-740.webp) I came right when it opened on the weekend and still had to join the waitlist, which made me sad. Really, I'd recommend getting there before 11:00. ![KakaoTalk waitlist notification for Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-05-6tuan-740.webp) When you enter your waitlist number, you get a friendly KakaoTalk message like this. But even though I arrived at about 11:10, I was number 12 and waited an hour. ![Dimly lit interior of Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-06-1tr81-740.webp) ### Atmosphere and seating inside Sushi Doku The Songdo The inside is dark with moody lighting, so it looked good for a blind date or a date. It was already full, so I couldn't take proper photos, but there are plenty of seats, and the staff were all kind, especially when taking our order. ![Chopsticks and sushi brush in hygienic pouches, and a water glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-07-18evt-740.webp) The chopsticks and sushi brush came neatly packed in hygienic pouches, which I liked. The water glass was pretty and had a nice mood too. ![Sushi Doku The Songdo menu and receipt review event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-08-s34s3-740.webp) ✔️ Leave a Naver receipt review and get 1 premium sushi piece (₩6,900) ## Menu and prices at Sushi Doku The Songdo - Standard sushi set, 10pc: ₩19,900 - Premium sushi set, 10pc: ₩25,900 - Special sushi full set, 13pc: ₩35,900 - Hearty kids' set: ₩9,900 - Salmon sushi set: ₩26,900 - Flounder sushi set: ₩27,900 - Salmon sashimi: ₩29,900 Surprisingly, a lot of people ordered the menus with only salmon or only flounder. ## What's in the premium sushi set for 2 (₩51,800)? What I ordered at Sushi Doku The Songdo was the premium sushi for 2 at ₩51,800. The sushi here is so good that I'll introduce what I ordered one by one. ![Premium sushi spread for 2 at Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-09-12imr-740.webp) Premium sushi for 2, ₩51,800 ![Lineup of the 10pc premium sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-10-1q6pi-740.webp) The classy premium sushi, ₩25,900: flounder + sea bream + salmon + squid + sweet shrimp + lean tuna (akami) + red shrimp + red snow crab meat + eel + ankimo (monkfish liver), all things I love. ![Plate of premium sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-11-mtdyv-740.webp) I also liked that you can choose a wasabi option when ordering extra, so you can order to your taste. ![Side dishes served with the set at Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-12-1ju97-740.webp) ![Salad served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-13-m5yz1-740.webp) ### Sides: salad, tempura, udon and steamed egg The premium sushi set at Sushi Doku The Songdo comes with a salad, shrimp tempura and karaage (Japanese fried chicken), udon (thick wheat noodles) and steamed egg (chawanmushi-style). A salad is a thoughtful touch, and eating it first helps guard against a blood sugar spike. They didn't drown it in dressing, just the right amount, so I enjoyed it. ![Plate of shrimp tempura and karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-14-9ef4o-740.webp) The fried items are shrimp tempura and karaage. The shrimp tempura is really big and the karaage pieces are chunky too, so I got full. It looks like a small portion, but it's really big and plentiful. ![Udon served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-15-ob8op-740.webp) The udon that came with it had a rich broth and bouncy noodles, great for slurping. It's only a side, but it was so good I'd want to order it separately. ![Warm steamed egg at Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-16-12m7h-740.webp) It's not an exaggeration to say you could come just for this steamed egg. It's so soft and warm that I'd want to eat it every day. ![Steamed egg with shrimp and ginkgo nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-17-b1sog-740.webp) It's silky like pudding, with shrimp and ginkgo nuts inside, a perfect side to slurp down before the sushi. ![Sushi plate with eel sushi and ankimo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-18-1dfqx-740.webp) ### My favorites: eel sushi and ankimo From the premium sushi set at Sushi Doku The Songdo, my personal favorites were the eel sushi and the ankimo. Whenever I come, they're the best-tasting ones for me. Maybe because they use good fish, the color was really different. At cheaper sushi places the fish is often thin and the rice plentiful, which I didn't like, but not here..!! ![Close-up of the premium sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-19-1xmvv-740.webp) ![A piece of sushi at Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-20-oinnv-740.webp) ![Brushing soy sauce onto sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-21-rvluu-740.webp) If you use the brush to spread the soy sauce evenly, it tastes even better. Whoever thought of that was really clever. ![Thick salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-22-1ip6e-740.webp) The salmon was also so, so good, and I liked that they gave a long, thick piece. It just melts the moment it's in your mouth. ![Big shrimp tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-23-1yi0b-740.webp) The shrimp tempura is big too, nice as a palate cleanser in between. ![Mouthwash, floss and coffee coupon received at Sushi Doku The Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist/songdo-sushidoku-weekend-opening-waitlist-24-dr5i4-740.webp) ## Mouthwash, floss and a coffee coupon on the way out On the way out, Sushi Doku The Songdo gave us mouthwash and floss, plus a Zenzen coffee coupon, which I liked.
