# Seafood platter at a Gongdeok raw fish restaurant with open-air vibes - By Doeun (https://superchart.com/en/@southbound-lunch-route/) - Written Sep 9, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@southbound-lunch-route/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@southbound-lunch-route/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/index.md) ## In short Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch is a raw fish and seafood platter restaurant right outside Exit 10 of Gongdeok Station in Mapo, Seoul. Sitting at a wide-open, yajang-style spot, two people ordered the medium seafood platter (₩62,000 for 3 people) and got full on scallops, whelks, whole golbaengi (sea snail), and steamed squid. The medium size, which includes steamed squid, is ₩3,000 cheaper than adding it to the small size, and since waiting starts around 6:30pm, a reservation is the smarter move. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2 Saechang-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, near Exit 10 of Gongdeok Station (Airport Railroad) - **Hours**: Mon–Wed 16:30–01:00, Thu–Sat 16:30–02:00 - **Parking**: Hi Parking Airport Railroad Gongdeok Station branch (₩1,800/hour) - **Order**: Seafood platter medium (for 3) ₩62,000, includes steamed squid - **Signature menu**: Aged raw fish (sukseonghoe), seafood platter - **Waiting**: Waiting starts around 6:30pm, Naver reservation recommended *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Exterior of Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch, a raw fish restaurant near Gongdeok Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-01-j82h2-m-900.webp) I was looking for a decent dinner spot in Gongdeok and found Neoul! 🤍 It's a hot place to eat seafood and raw fish to your heart's content. The doors were wide open that day so we got to enjoy it with an open-air, yajang feel. 🫧 We ordered the seafood platter that day and it was seriously x1000 delicious! ## Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch — location, hours, parking - 📍Location 2 Saechang-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, near Exit 10 of Gongdeok Station (Airport Railroad) - 🕐Hours Mon–Wed 16:30–01:00 / Thu–Sat 16:30–02:00 - 🅿️Parking Hi Parking Airport Railroad Gongdeok Station branch (₩1,800/hour) ## Menu — aged raw fish and seafood platter ![Menu board at Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-02-12oib-900.webp) ![Menu board listing aged raw fish and seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-03-1brqr-900.webp) ![Neoul side menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-04-1mh09-900.webp) ![Menu showing seafood platter prices by size](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-05-1r46z-900.webp) Their signature menus are aged raw fish (sukseonghoe) and the seafood platter 🫢 I'd had raw fish not long ago so I went with the seafood platter instead. We ordered the medium size, which comes with steamed squid included, and the two of us ate until we were completely stuffed. There were also plenty of side dishes to order, making it a good spot for group visits. ## Open-air feel interior and the waiting line The doors were wide open so the outside breeze drifted in gently.. 🤍 It wasn't fully outdoors, but with the view outside clearly visible from inside, it had that yajang (open-air pub) feel. ![Restaurant interior with doors open for an open-air feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-06-ueem1-900.webp) The basic snack was popped corn kernels! ![Popped corn kernels served as a basic snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-07-18loz-900.webp) Old newspapers were laid out on the table. I thought it might be a fake prop at first, but seeing them slightly faded made me think they were real newspapers 🫢 ![Retro-style table lined with old newspapers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-08-doql9-900.webp) Overall the vibe was retro. We visited with a reservation, but as more customers arrived, a waiting line started forming around 6:30. If you can, I'd recommend making a Naver reservation or arriving early. ## Taste review — seafood platter medium, ₩62,000 ![Cheongha ordered alongside the seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-09-1tor0-900.webp) For drinks, cheongha 🤓 Seafood and cheongha is a combo that never fails! ![Seafood platter for 3, medium size, ₩62,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-10-oa2o4-1200.webp) Seafood platter for 3, ₩62,000. It was a hefty spread packed with all kinds of seafood! Scallops, abalone, whelks, sea snails and other in-season seafood — close to 6 to 10 kinds went into this platter. Note that the seafood lineup can vary slightly by season. ![Plate of steamed seafood including shrimp and hard clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-11-112fn-900.webp) ![Seafood platter with whole sea snails and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-12-bpgpw-900.webp) Shrimp, squid, hard clams, whole golbaengi (sea snail), and more — most came out steamed warm and melted softly in the mouth… 🤍 Dip them in sesame oil sauce or vinegar-chili sauce and it's paradise. ![Seafood being dipped in sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-13-j4q2z-900.webp) Best of all, the portion was so generous we could dig in without worrying about the other person. I thought seafood wouldn't fill us up much, but it surprisingly did. Plus, there was such a variety of seafood that we never got tired of eating. ![Full view of the generously loaded seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-14-kl53q-900.webp) The scallops came out topped with chili and garlic, served almost like raw fish. 🫧 The clam meat was firmly stuck to the shell, so you need a spoon to pry it out cleanly. ![Scallop raw fish topped with chili and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-15-s393a-900.webp) There were toothpicks for the whelks so you could pull the meat right out. 🐚🤍 The innards came out too, which were great for a savory bite. ![Whelk meat pulled out with a toothpick](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-16-1w57z-900.webp) ### Ordering medium size includes steamed squid The steamed squid included in the medium size was also really tasty. My original plan was to order small + add steamed squid separately, but ordering the medium size comes with the steamed squid included, saving ₩3,000. Nice nice 🤍 ![Steamed squid included with the medium size platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-17-h1g3f-900.webp) In the middle was a seasoned vegetable salad, which paired great with the seafood! Crunchy vegetables plus soft, chewy seafood — such a great match .. 💗 ![Seasoned vegetable salad placed in the middle of the platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-18-1jq25-900.webp) ![White kimchi served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-19-v06vh-m-900.webp) ![Mushroom and corn salad side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-20-1xnzf-900.webp) The platter came with white kimchi, mushrooms, and corn salad as side dishes, which we enjoyed alongside the meal. ![Close-up of the seafood platter presentation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-21-136cq-900.webp) Even looking back, the visuals are impressive. Most tables around us seemed to be having aged raw fish, but the seafood platter is a really solid choice too — highly recommend it.. 🫢 ![Toasting with cheongha glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-22-tfhc0-900.webp) Cheers 🐷 Honestly, one bottle of cheongha wasn't even enough as we kept eating… that's how generous the seafood portion was! ![Table piled with leftover seafood shells](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-23-1l3jn-860.webp) A somewhat wild, dragon-like scene by the end ![Evening open-air atmosphere at Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter-24-vab10-900.webp) ## Why I'd recommend it as a seafood spot in Gongdeok If you're looking for a fresh, quality seafood restaurant in Gongdeok, I recommend Neoul! It's great for group dinners, and I loved catching a cool breeze while eating too 🤓 With aged raw fish and steamed seafood on the menu, it's highly recommended for anyone who's a seafood lover! ## Where it is - Neoul Gongdeok Direct Branch (너울 공덕직영점) - 2 Saechang-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 새창로6길 2 1층 - 37.5418338, 126.9524483 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%84%88%EC%9A%B8%20%EA%B3%B5%EB%8D%95%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5418338,126.9524483,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@southbound-lunch-route/gongdeok-neoul-seafood-platter/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
