Hannam-dong date bar for yellowtail wrapped in gamtae: Hannam Multeo

Are you looking for a date-night spot in Hannam-dong with a great atmosphere and food that actually tastes good?

Everyone, I really found a place I want to recommend for a Hannam-dong date! It's the seafood spot Hannam Multeo (한남물터). The atmosphere was just so good. It's in a basement, but when you walk down the stairs, a space opens up that's bigger and moodier than you'd expect.

When you think of a raw fish restaurant, you usually picture bright lights and rows of tables, right? This place feels more like a stylish Hannam-dong pub serving food and drinks, so it's perfect for a date. And you can get seasonal yellowtail sashimi too!

This time I had seasonal yellowtail sashimi with gamtae (seaweed), laver and rice, and I even got a grilled sea bream head as a free extra. I loved both the atmosphere and the menu at Hannam Multeo, so let me walk you through it ♥

Hannam Multeo location, hours and parking

Hannam Multeo is a seafood pub at 65 Daesagwan-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (B1), near Hannam Five-way Intersection. It's about a 10–11 minute walk from Exit 1 of Hannam Station, and it's closed every Monday.

• Address: 65 Daesagwan-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (B1)
• Location: about 10–11 minutes on foot from Exit 1 of Hannam Station
• Hours: Tue–Thu & Sun 16:00–01:00 / Fri & Sat 16:00–02:00
• Closed: every Monday
• Reservations: Naver Reservation and Catch Table available
• Parking: paid valet available
• Valet fee: ₩5,000 for the first 2 hours, then ₩1,000 per 10 minutes

It's within walking distance of Hannam Station, and it's a nice spot to drop into for dinner while on a date around Hannam-dong. Parking is hard in much of Hannam-dong, so it's good to know paid valet is available. It can get busy on weekend evenings, so if your date plans are set, I'd recommend reserving.

A basement with a big fish tank: a Hannam-dong date spot with great atmosphere

Hannam Multeo is on the first basement floor, but the ceilings are high and there's a huge fish tank in the middle of the room. Once you go down the stairs and step inside, the space is bigger than you'd expect. Even though it's underground, the high ceiling and roomy layout mean it doesn't feel stuffy, just different and unusual.

The huge tank in the center of the room is especially striking. It's not the small aquarium you see at a typical raw fish restaurant. It sits right in the middle of the space, so the interior itself is unique.

There's a variety of seating, so it seems fine for a cozy two-person visit or for coming with friends. I'd especially recommend it when you want dinner somewhere a little special rather than an ordinary pub. If you're looking for a Hannam-dong bar with good atmosphere, I think this space itself will feel pretty appealing.

What are the starter dishes at Hannam Multeo?

The starters at Hannam Multeo are monkfish liver (ankimo), boiled octopus and 2 pieces of sashimi! Wow, the starters are already this good…? You'll be really satisfied!!!

What I ordered at Hannam Multeo: seasonal yellowtail sashimi with gamtae, laver and rice

What I ordered at Hannam Multeo this time was the seasonal yellowtail sashimi. There were also gamtae, laver and rice to eat it with. And a grilled sea bream head came out as a free extra!

When the weather turns chilly, what raw fish comes to mind? Yellowtail sashimi, of course, right? haha I think yellowtail is especially appealing among winter seafood. When the weather gets cold, yellowtail gets rich in fat, so it's a great fish for enjoying that savory flavor.

That's why lots of people go out of their way to hunt down good yellowtail spots once the season starts. Hannam Multeo has seasonal yellowtail sashimi on the menu too, so I ordered it.

Look at how gorgeous this color is!!!

Put some wasabi on it with the oil dip and it just melts in your mouth~ Winter really is yellowtail season!!!

How to wrap yellowtail sushi-style with roasted laver and rice

At Hannam Multeo I ordered roasted laver and rice and wrapped the yellowtail up like sushi! This turned out to be a real treat~~~

Doesn't it look so good... If you're not a big sashimi person, try it this way!!

The grilled sea bream head we got as a free extra

The grilled sea bream head Hannam Multeo gave us as a free extra! Wow, isn't this a full-on feast?!

The fish was savory and I enjoyed it so much!

Finishing with the receipt review event ice cream

The finale at Hannam Multeo was the ice cream you get for doing the Naver receipt review event! Wow, this was seriously good? Like something a fancy restaurant would bring out at the very end!!!

Why I recommend Hannam Multeo as a Hannam-dong date course

• First of all, the atmosphere of the space is so good!! (It felt a bit like eating inside a ship!)
• The fish is cut fresh to order, so quality is guaranteed!!
• A wide range of drinks that pair well!

If you're looking for a seafood spot with great atmosphere in Hannam-dong, I highly recommend Hannam Multeo! I especially loved the mood of the basement. With a huge tank in a wide interior, it felt different from an ordinary raw fish restaurant.

The seasonal yellowtail sashimi I ordered is a great winter dish, and I liked that the gamtae, laver and rice combination let me eat it in different ways. If you're still deciding on a Hannam-dong date course, save Hannam Multeo! It's especially recommended for couples who love seafood haha ♥
