The writer travelled over from Jamsil after work on a Friday and ordered the giant clam hot pot for two at 59,000 won plus a mini seafood pancake at 6,000 won, and found fresh clams with no grit of sand, a clean refreshing broth and a generous self-bar. For this clam hot pot dinner, Gaetbeol-ui Jogae was well worth the long ride across Seoul. ## Good to know - **Giant clam hot pot for two**: 59,000 won - **Mini seafood pancake**: 6,000 won - **Parking**: Basement parking lot of the building (Twosome Place side) - **Location**: About a 5-minute walk from Exit 1, National Assembly Station - **Price reference**: ₩59,000 ≈ $44 · ₩6,000 ≈ $4.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## How to walk to Gaetbeol-ui Jogae from National Assembly Station Location-wise, come out of Exit 1 of Yeouido Station, turn right at the alley in front of the SK gas station, and it's about a 5-minute walk!

It was kind of a city view, and since it was Friday evening, the night view outside the window was surprisingly pretty haha lol. There's a hall too, and the place is spacious, so it seemed good for group visits as well. There were guests of various ages, and the vibe suggested a lot of people come here for company dinners too! ![Restaurant hall and window seats on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-08-1sml8-900.webp) ![Seating with a city view](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-09-1yznm-900.webp) ![Spacious hall suitable for group visits](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-10-w9l50-900.webp) ## Ordering the giant clam hot pot and mini seafood pancake For the menu, we picked the giant clam hot pot for two at ₩59,000! It seemed like a lot of people order the seafood boiling too, but we decided on the clam hot pot right away! On top of that, we added a mini seafood pancake for ₩6,000 to make sure we'd be full haha. ![Giant clam hot pot and mini seafood pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-11-183fq-1200.webp) The clam hot pot came out, and you really can't tell the size from a photo but it is seriously huge, like SERIOUSLY huge... Seeing this size in person is shocking lol. While they put the lid on, turned on the burner and let it boil, we went to check out the self-bar! ![Clam hot pot with lid on before boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-12-3eozo-900.webp) ![Table with the clam hot pot boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-13-1jywa-900.webp) ![The giant-sized clam hot pot spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-14-14ob2-966.webp) ## What is on the self-bar while the clam hot pot cooks The self-bar had macaroni salad, yeolmu kimchi (young radish greens kimchi), and geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi), plus barley rice, ganjang and gochujang so you could make your own bibimbap. Well-educated people, honestly lol. While the clam hot pot was boiling, we mixed barley rice with the spicy soybean paste and it was delicious all on its own haha. ![Self-bar with barley rice and spicy soybean paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-15-k117e-900.webp) And on my way to the bathroom, I noticed they even had dental floss, hair ties, mouthwash, and candy stocked up. The owner's attention to detail is a perfect score... little touches like this really boost how much I like a place haha. ![Bathroom amenities sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-16-cedw7-900.webp) ![Dental floss, hair ties and other amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-17-1nfws-900.webp) ## How crispy is the mini seafood pancake? While I was munching on barley rice, the seafood pancake came out so we ate that too, and it was better than expected! Honestly I didn't expect much from the pancake, but the outside was crispy and it was packed with seafood, so the first bite had me going oh, this is actually good? lol. At ₩6,000, the portion was decent for something called 'mini,' and it was the perfect side to eat before the hot pot arrived haha. Glad we added it! My boyfriend said it was good too, so you should all try it... ![Crispy mini seafood pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-18-64mic-900.webp) ![Mini pancake packed with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-19-1db5v-900.webp) ## Giant clam hot pot: fresh clams with no sand And finally, the fully boiled giant clam hot pot! Scallops, hard clams, mussels, half-shell clams, fish cakes, shrimp, crab, rice cake sticks, green onion, and radish — so much in there, and everything was huge. The broth was really refreshing, and dipping the clams in vinegar-chili sauce was heaven... I want to eat it again. The distinctly refreshing clam broth flavor was truly a masterpiece! The clams were also super fresh and I didn't bite into a single grain of sand, which I loved. This is actually a really important part — if you bite sand while eating clams, that moment ruins everything lol. Here, there was zero worry about that. They also gave us cheese on the side, so dipping the clams in cheese was tasty too. ![Clam hot pot eaten with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view-20-oenf0-900.webp) ## Finishing the broth with kalguksu noodles For the finish, they'll add kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) if you ask, and they told us to flip the hourglass on each table. This little hourglass detail was so cute and interesting haha. I think they said once the sand runs out, boil for 5 more minutes from there...? Anyway, I don't really remember the explanation... Either way, the hot pot broth soaked perfectly into the noodles, and eating it with the geotjeori was really delicious too. A place that was well worth the trip from Jamsil all the way to Yeouido! Fresh clams, refreshing broth, and a well-stocked self-bar — overall satisfaction was very high. Traveling far after work wasn't easy, but once we actually ate, that distance was nothing lol. With clams so fresh you won't bite a single grain of sand and broth this refreshing, this place set the real standard for a great clam hot pot restaurant. If you're headed near Yeouido Station or thinking about a Yeouido date course or a company dinner spot, I absolutely recommend Gaetbeol-ui Jogae 😊 ## Where it is - Gaetbeol-ui Jogae Yeouido Main Branch (갯벌의조개 여의도본점) - 15-1 Gukhoedae-ro 70-gil, 2nd floor, Geukdong VIP Building, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 국회대로70길 15-1 극동VIP빌딩 2층 - 37.5296714, 126.9204076 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%AF%EB%B2%8C%EC%9D%98%EC%A1%B0%EA%B0%9C%20%EC%97%AC%EC%9D%98%EB%8F%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5296714,126.9204076,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tiled-table-2/yeouido-clam-hotpot-night-view/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
