On a busy Friday at 11 p.m., I had the 85,000 won signature set, 4,000 won salt gimbap, and its especially memorable crab tomalley pasta. Verdict: a great late-night date spot for seafood and drinks. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, Units 101–102, 56 Hakdong-ro 2-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Walking distance**: 7 minutes from Exit 3 of Nonhyeon Station; 10 minutes from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–05:00; last order 04:00; open year-round - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation and Catchtable - **Corkage**: Sake and wine ₩20,000 per bottle; whiskey ₩30,000 per bottle - **Sanhocho Signature Set**: ₩85,000 - **Salt gimbap**: ₩4,000 - **Crab tomalley pasta à la carte**: ₩25,000 - **Three-kind sashimi**: ₩77,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A buzzing seafood bar by Nonhyeon Station until dawn It is a 7-minute walk from Exit 3 of Nonhyeon Station and a 10-minute walk from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station.

It is a seafood pocha (casual Korean drinking spot) known for aged sashimi and seasonal seafood. ![The seafood pocha space at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-02-7gvu7-900.webp) I went around 11 p.m. on a Friday night and luckily got the one remaining table. Sanhocho Nonhyeon was so hot and lively that you could not even tell what time it was ;; What a strong first impression. ![Friday-night atmosphere at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-03-go32d-900.webp) ![Sanhocho Nonhyeon interior on a Friday night](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-04-msya0-900.webp) ![Sanhocho Nonhyeon late at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-05-uzm7i-900.webp) ![Pocha atmosphere at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-06-1ff7j-900.webp) ![The space during a visit to Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-07-1kvx6-900.webp) ![A lively nighttime scene at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-08-1x7bn-900.webp) ![The atmosphere inside Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-09-z2qi7-900.webp) ![Sanhocho Nonhyeon late in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-10-17ht3-900.webp) ![Interior seating at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-11-16dhl-900.webp) ![Sanhocho Nonhyeon at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-12-154pa-900.webp) ![On-site at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-13-bf6eq-900.webp) ## Can you choose exactly what goes into your sashimi platter? The menu was huge, with so many delicious-looking things that I photographed it all. - Raw shrimp sashimi, 12 pieces ₩42,000 - Live mackerel sashimi + 10 raw shrimp ₩78,000 - Live squid sashimi ₩52,000 - Half-frozen mulhoe (cold raw-fish soup; assorted sashimi + live squid) ₩52,000 - Sanhocho Signature Set (sashimi + pasta/fried dish + spicy fish stew) ₩85,000 - Sanhocho platter (sashimi + seafood) ₩69,000 - Assorted aged sashimi ₩53,000 - Three-kind sashimi ₩77,000 ![Signature menu information at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-14-hp2q3-900.webp) The three-kind sashimi is great because you can build it only with the sashimi you want from eight choices: live mackerel, live squid, raw shrimp, salmon, large flatfish, red sea bream, butterfish sea bream, and fatty tuna belly. Not just the usual picks—you can include seasonal sashimi such as live mackerel, live squid, and raw shrimp too! ![A sashimi menu that can be customized](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-15-t77mg-900.webp) ![Seasonal sashimi selection menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-16-6cul2-900.webp) There are plenty of other trendy, delicious choices too, including chopped squid sashimi, salt-grilled king prawns, live mackerel sashimi, and aged large flatfish sashimi. ![Seafood menu at Sanhocho Nonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-17-7p7on-900.webp) ## The Sanhocho Signature Set and salt gimbap Even the banchan (small side dishes) at Sanhocho Nonhyeon were no ordinary matter. Bean sprouts dressed in sesame sauce, beondegi (silkworm pupae), aged kimchi, and small squid jeot (salted seafood) were giving off serious great-restaurant vibes >.< Today’s order was the Sanhocho Signature Set for ₩85,000. It comes with sashimi, crab tomalley pasta, and either spicy fish stew or clear fish soup; we also ordered salt gimbap for ₩4,000. ![Sanhocho Signature Set and salt gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-18-1w2nh-1200.webp) You can ask for the clear fish soup when you are ready to eat it, so the sashimi, crab tomalley pasta, and salt gimbap arrived first. ![A sashimi assortment with many varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-19-d1uko-900.webp) From the left, there were red sea bream, tuna, mackerel, flatfish, abalone, squid, salmon, and one more delicious fish whose name I forgot. It was quite a generous portion! The gold jelly-like thing on top of the salmon is frozen katsuobushi (bonito flakes); put it on the sashimi and eat it with wasabi for a different flavor. ![Aged sashimi served with katsuobushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-20-m7ekn-900.webp) ### The hidden star: crab tomalley pasta I ordered it because I already love the rich flavor of crab tomalley, and it was completely moving. ![Crab tomalley pasta and toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-21-1acp2-900.webp) The richness had real depth, the pasta was pleasantly chewy, and the crab had lots of meat. It was so easy to pick out and eat! The toast was crisp too, perfect for dipping. It is ₩25,000 à la carte, but it truly felt worth even more than that. A highly recommended dish! ![Crab tomalley pasta à la carte](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-22-8ue1x-900.webp) ### Salt gimbap with aged sashimi I ordered the salt gimbap after seeing how to enjoy aged sashimi at its best. ![Salt gimbap served with aged sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-23-fldaw-900.webp) It is all the rage these days, but I had not been able to try it because of the wait—then I finally had it at Sanhocho Nonhyeon. I ate it with the classic flatfish, small squid jeot, aged kimchi, and wasabi, and it was heavenly. The rice was delicious on its own, but having everything together made the flavors meld and doubled the depth. ![Salt gimbap served with flatfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta/nonhyeon-sanhocho-sashimi-crab-pasta-24-1k3o0-900.webp) ### When should you have the clear fish soup? With the Sanhocho Signature Set, you can choose between clear fish soup and spicy fish stew; we chose the clear fish soup. It came generously loaded with fish and vegetables. The broth was clean and refreshing, so we added kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) noodles. > Highly recommended when you are craving delicious aged sashimi and seafood. I also recommend it when you want a range of drinking dishes alongside seafood, and its detailed, distinctive atmosphere makes it a lovely date spot too.
