Over dinner and drinks with my sister, we ordered the bazaar chadol (beef brisket) stir-fried udon and the raw salmon sashimi, and the slightly exotic spice notes of the udon went well with the thick-cut salmon. Hiku is one of the calmer bars near Sadang Station for talking over a drink instead of shouting over a crowd. ## Good to know - **Hiku Set A**: 49,900 won — salmon, yukhoe (beef tartare), sweet shrimp + potato salad & sweet potato chips - **Hiku Set B**: 65,800 won — salmon, yukhoe, sweet shrimp + potato salad & sweet potato chips + Hanoi nabe hot pot - **Hiku Set C**: 100,700 won — salmon, yukhoe, sweet shrimp + potato salad & sweet potato chips + Hanoi nabe hot pot + yurinji (crispy chicken) + mango sorbet - **Location**: Sadang Station Exit 10 → into the Starbucks alley, about a 3-minute walk - **Parking**: Parking in front of Hiku is difficult; use Sadang No. 1 or No. 2 public lot (3–5 min walk), then give your plate number for 1 hour free - **Facilities**: Indoor restrooms, separate for men and women *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* A cozy izakaya in Sadang with a warm, date-friendly atmosphere: Hiku.

Raw salmon sashimi made from Norwegian salmon prepped the same day, soft and fresh in flavor. And Hiku's 1++ grade 9 Korean beef yukhoe, prepped the same day with house-made soy sauce for a fresh, deep flavor. ![Page of the Hiku menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-07-1w6f0-900.webp) ![Menu board listing Hiku's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-08-nq310-900.webp) ![Hiku's drinks and menu introduction](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-09-1rr7d-900.webp) ![Guide to Hiku's menu composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-10-a2nym-900.webp) ![Table setting at Hiku](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-11-frnxn-900.webp) The menu variety is nice, but personally, when picking a bar, I prefer places where you can talk comfortably rather than somewhere too loud — and Hiku was satisfying on that front. The staff were friendly, which gave a great first impression, and having gender-separated indoor restrooms was also convenient. If you want to have both a meal and drinks in one go on a date in Sadang, go for it! ![Dishes served on the table at Hiku](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-12-29spt-900.webp) ![A plate of Hiku's bazaar beef stir-fried udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-13-t4s3z-900.webp) *Bazaar chadol stir-fried udon* ## What does the bazaar beef brisket stir-fried udon taste like? The dish I was most curious about that day was Hiku's bazaar chadol (beef brisket) stir-fried udon. According to the menu description, it's savory chadol and chewy udon noodles stir-fried with a special soy sauce and spices!? It felt a bit different from your typical stir-fried udon, and I was curious~ The savory taste of the chadol combined with the special soy sauce, and there was a subtle spice flavor throughout haha. The udon noodles were chewy and soaked up the sauce well, and eating it together with the chadol made it work well both as a meal and as a drinking snack. ![Close-up of chadol beef mixed with udon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-14-htzk9-900.webp) Since I love noodle dishes in particular, I always get a little excited when I see a stir-fried udon on the menu. It felt like a familiar stir-fried udon but with a slightly exotic twist thanks to the spices, which I loved :) Pairing it with a lighter dish like the raw salmon sashimi was a good combination too. ![Bazaar beef stir-fried udon paired with raw salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-15-1ohvl-1200.webp) ## Thick-cut raw salmon sashimi at Hiku One of the dishes we ordered at Hiku that day was the raw salmon sashimi! Seeing the thick-cut slices of salmon, it looked delicious just by the visuals.. 🧡 Taking a bite, the soft, moist texture was great. You could taste the savory, clean flavor unique to salmon, and it went really well as a drinking snack too~ ![Thick-cut raw salmon sashimi at Hiku](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-16-1szsu-900.webp) ![Close-up of a single piece of raw salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-17-spngc-900.webp) Personally, I prefer salmon cut moderately thick like this rather than very thin slices, so it was easy to enjoy piece by piece~ Cold raw salmon sashimi paired with a cool drink is a combo that never fails haha. ![Side dishes and a drink on the table at Hiku](https://img.superchart.com/images/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon/hiku-sadang-izakaya-udon-salmon-18-15te6-900.webp) ## Who should visit Hiku in Sadang?
