Susan Sadang Main Branch (수산 사당본점) is an aged-sashimi bar in the Sadang Station food alley in Seoul. On a Friday night in yellowtail season, the writer came for a second round, ordered the yellowtail platter (78,000 won) by QR code and added sweet shrimp buckwheat noodles (23,000 won). Thick, fresh yellowtail wrapped in seaweed makes Susan Sadang Main Branch a recommended winter drinking spot.
Ichigyu Gwanghwamun Branch is a Japanese restaurant serving gyukatsu (breaded beef cutlet) and steki (steak) on basement level 1 of Lemeilleur Jongno Town, between Gwanghwamun and Jonggak stations in Jongno, Seoul. On an early dinner date before a show, we sat at a table for two and grilled the Ichigyu gyukatsu set, steki-don (steak rice bowl), and cold soba with fried shrimp on a cast-iron plate. Ichigyu Gwanghwamun Branch is a hearty Gwanghwamun dinner worth recommending for solo diners and dates alike.
