## Drink lineup and the second-bottle-of-wine 50% off deal

A carefully chosen drink lineup and a special promotion. Ice-slushed draft beer, curated sake and cheongju, plus domestic soju and beer — there's plenty to suit any preference.

In particular, the California-made premium and budget-friendly wines that pair so well with seafood and the set spread come with a standing perk: 50% off from the second bottle onward, so keep that in mind.

## What's in the Mapo Bada Signature Set (₩151,000)

I chose this because I wanted to taste a little of everything rather than just one dish.

It's not a single dish but a full spread covering sashimi, grilled items, seafood, and meat all at once — salt-grilled shrimp, raw shrimp, gizzard shad sashimi with a 4-kind sashimi platter, grilled gizzard shad, an assorted seafood platter, cold pork, and tofu kimchi (dubu-kimchi). The composition was seriously impressive.

The order came out all at once, set right onto the tabletop, and just looking at it you could tell why they call it the "signature spread."

![Full signature set spread laid out across the tabletop](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-08-2aegn-966.webp)

In the center sat a mouthwatering sashimi platter, while off to one side, plump shrimp were packed tight in a pot and cooking away.

Add grilled gizzard shad, the seafood platter, cold pork, and tofu kimchi on top of that, and I genuinely didn't know where to start.

### Six-kind sashimi: raw shrimp, gizzard shad, red seabream, rockfish, amberjack, flounder

First up, the fresh sashimi platter. The main signature sashimi lineup was raw shrimp, gizzard shad, red seabream, rockfish, amberjack, and flounder — tasting a piece of each, I loved the thick, chewy texture and how fresh and clean it all was.

![Sashimi platter with raw shrimp, gizzard shad and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-09-17oxd-966.webp)

The gizzard shad (jeoneo), right in season now, burst with nuttiness the more you chewed it, while the raw shrimp had a springy, soft texture with a sweet, savory taste that just clung to the mouth.

The flounder and rockfish, both national favorites for sashimi, were firm and chewy, and this was my first time trying amberjack — its subtle, delicate sweetness was really appealing.

The red seabream also carried a nicely fatty richness, and dipped lightly in wasabi soy sauce it was absolutely delicious.

I also tried wrapping the sashimi in lettuce — with so many varieties, it was fun comparing each one's texture and flavor as I went.

If you're a sashimi lover, I think you'd be quite satisfied getting to taste so many varieties in one sitting.

### Cold pork and tofu kimchi

This is cold pork served with a light, nutty chamnamul (aster) namul. Eating the plainly boiled pork with the namul gave a different kind of hearty satisfaction than the sashimi or seafood.

And here's the tofu kimchi (dubu-kimchi). It's a familiar dish anyone can enjoy comfortably, but the warm, nutty tofu paired with the spicy-sweet kimchi made a combo that also worked great as a drinking snack.

### Seafood platter, abalone innards porridge, and seaweed soup

The seafood platter came with scallops, abalone, sea cucumber, and sea squirt. Having several kinds of seafood together made it fun to pick through one by one.

Here's the warm, comforting, richly flavored abalone innards porridge.

![Richly cooked abalone innards porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-14-1kn26-836.webp)

The savory, deep flavor of the abalone innards came through subtly, and it went down really smoothly.

![Warm seaweed soup served on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-16-17olx-751.webp)

The warm seaweed soup (miyeok-guk) was mild and not overpowering, so it paired well alongside all the other dishes.

![Golden-grilled gizzard shad](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-17-11prd-1200.webp)

### Grilled gizzard shad and steamed egg

Gizzard shad grilled brings out a much deeper nutty flavor, giving a totally different impression from the sashimi version.

The golden-grilled gizzard shad had an appetizing aroma right off the bat, and once I picked the meat off the bone, it was plain yet richly nutty.

Here's the soft steamed egg (gyeranjjim). It had a fluffy, jiggly texture that was soft and easy to eat between other dishes.

### Salt-grilled shrimp and buttered shrimp head

This is the salt-grilled shrimp. Big, still-lively shrimp were packed in tightly, and they quickly changed color as they cooked.

After flipping the shrimp cooking nicely on the coarse salt bed, the staff cut off the shrimp heads.

Once peeled, the shrimp meat had a springy, chewy texture and the shrimp's characteristic sweet flavor really came through.

![Shrimp grilled on a bed of salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-19-cman1-966.webp)

The subtle saltiness from the salt-grilling made it delicious even eaten plain.

Once the shrimp heads were cut off, the staff took them away and fried them up — this buttered shrimp head is a savory little specialty in its own right.

Freshly fried, it was crispy and really tasty.

![Sushi served alongside the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine/mapo-hoetjip-signature-hansang-amberjack-wine-24-1bcrq-966.webp)

### Sushi and live octopus

Sushi came out too.

And here's some incredibly fresh live octopus (sannakji). The octopus had a springy texture that seemed to dance right in your mouth.

## How was it as a family-gathering seafood restaurant in Mapo?

As a Mapo seafood restaurant for a family gathering, Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada impressed me most by building its menu around seasonal ingredients, true to its name.

We ordered the signature set that day, and its biggest strength is being able to enjoy a wide variety of seafood and sashimi at once — ordering just one dish can end up feeling one-note in flavor.

The signature set lets everyone enjoy several dishes together, which works well even when tastes differ a bit, and I thought it was a great composition for sharing with family or friends.

If you want to enjoy a wide variety of sashimi and seafood in Mapo, I'd recommend visiting Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada.
