Three friends came after work on a Thursday and ordered raw shrimp sashimi for 40,000 won, stone octopus with haenyeo bossam (boiled pork wraps) for 34,000 won, and spicy seafood ramen for 12,000 won, and the ramen broth was the most memorable dish of the night. Parang Haenyeojip suits a loud, lively drinking night with friends rather than quiet conversation. ## Good to know - **Location**: 37 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 16:00–1:30 (or 2:00); varies by day, so check ahead - **Parking**: Streets are narrow — use a nearby public parking lot - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation - **Raw shrimp sashimi**: 40,000 won - **Stone octopus with haenyeo bossam**: 34,000 won - **Spicy seafood ramen**: 12,000 won - **Ordering**: Table-order system *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Main photo of Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-01-78dfd-m-1200.webp) Today I'm writing about my visit to Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch, famous as a Jongak Station seafood spot, haha! Raw shrimp is in season right now, and my friends are all soju fanatics... so after work, my high school friends and I went out for a long-overdue good meal, hehe. ## Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch: location, hours and reservations ![Exterior of Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch near Jongak Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-02-1e3id-966.webp) ![Entrance of Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch on Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-03-11ape-m-966.webp) - Location: 37 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: 16:00–1:30 (or 2:00) — hours vary by day, so check in advance - Parking: streets are very narrow, so use a nearby public parking lot - Reservations: available via Naver Reservation I found this place while looking for somewhere for seafood or sashimi near Jongak Station, and it looked like a good spot for a casual drink with friends too, so I booked through Naver and went. We showed up around 6:30 pm on a Thursday after work. Since we'd reserved, I wasn't worried about not getting a seat, hehe. But when we walked in, the place was almost completely full! Guess that's what happens during the after-work rush. If you're planning to go, booking on Naver ahead of time is a must! ## What is the atmosphere like inside Parang Haenyeojip? ![Interior of Parang Haenyeojip designed to feel like the inside of a ship](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-04-t5h0d-966.webp) ![Fully booked seating hall at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-05-qwcpv-m-966.webp) The moment I walked into Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch, the unique interior caught my eye. The whole place has this feeling of being inside a ship? I oddly felt like I'd become the captain of a boat, hahahaha. That said, since the place was nearly full that night, it felt pretty loud overall. We hadn't seen each other in a while and wanted to actually talk, but sitting in the middle of the room made it a bit hard to hear each other! This isn't really a spot for a quiet meal and conversation — it's more suited to a loud, rowdy night out drinking with friends or coworkers. ## The menu and how ordering works ![Menu board at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-06-1knir-966.webp) ![Sashimi menu page at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-07-19bs8-966.webp) ![Seafood menu page at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-08-1bc95-966.webp) ![Meal menu page at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-09-sax37-966.webp) ![Drinks menu page at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-10-1ngik-966.webp) ![Final page of the menu at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-11-fwvq7-966.webp) Here's the full menu at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch, haha. Ordering is done through a table-order kiosk, which was convenient — no need to keep flagging down staff, you can just look at the menu and order right away. ## What three friends ordered for dinner We ordered three things total: raw shrimp sashimi for 40,000 won, stone octopus and haenyeo bossam (Korean-style boiled pork wrap) for 34,000 won, and spicy seafood ramen for 12,000 won. Split between the three of us, the portions were just about right. ### Raw shrimp sashimi, 40,000 won ![A plate of raw shrimp sashimi at Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-12-g2vi2-966.webp) The first thing that came out was the raw shrimp sashimi! It looked fresh just from the visuals, and it tasted just as fresh — clean, with none of that fishy edge. You could really feel the springy texture that raw shrimp has, and it went down clean with no off flavors. Freshness matters most with seafood, and everything here definitely felt fresh. Also, I tried fried shrimp heads for the first time, and they were delicious. ### Stone octopus with haenyeo bossam, 34,000 won ![Plating of stone octopus and haenyeo bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-13-7e5g9-966.webp) ![A plate combining bossam, kimchi, and stone octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-14-kpuek-966.webp) Next was the stone octopus and haenyeo bossam! I liked that the plating came out clean and neat. The bossam was tender and the kimchi was tasty, and eating it together with the stone octopus made for a pretty great combo! The bossam especially was soft rather than dry, which made it delicious. It's a good option when ordering two full sashimi dishes at a seafood place feels like too much — and it was easy for the three of us to share and pick at. ### Spicy seafood ramen, 12,000 won ![Spicy seafood ramen loaded with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-15-1x7uq-966.webp) Surprisingly, the spicy seafood ramen was the standout. We were there for sashimi and seafood, so we figured we'd cap things off with a ramen — but it was way better than expected, honestly surprised me, haha. It's packed with seafood, so the broth was incredibly refreshing, and it lived up to its name with a proper spicy kick. The clean, savory flavor from the seafood really soaked into the broth, so it wasn't just spicy ramen — it had that distinct clean seafood-ramen taste. > Feels like getting cured from a hangover in real time That's how my friend put it, haha. Also, I saw a soju called Busan Galmaegi for the first time that night, and for someone like me who drinks maybe 3-4 times a year, it was way too bitter 🤣 I think I should just give up drinking altogether at this point. ![A bottle of Busan Galmaegi soju on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen-16-10sv8-966.webp) ## Is Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch worth a visit? Turns out Parang Haenyeojip is already well known as an aged sashimi spot. So I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an aged sashimi restaurant in Jongno, or a seafood restaurant near Jongak Station! - Taste: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (fresh and delicious!! especially recommend the spicy seafood ramen) - Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (decent for sashimi dishes, though a bit more volume would've been nice!) - Space & atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️.5 (a bit loud, which actually makes it good for a work dinner, but so-so for real conversation) - 💛Would I return: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Next time I want to try the sashimi menu!! ## Where it is - Parang Haenyeojip Jongno Branch (파랑해녀집 종로본점) - 37 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 우정국로2길 37 1층 - 37.5696222, 126.9851431 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%8C%EB%9E%91%ED%95%B4%EB%85%80%EC%A7%91%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5696222,126.9851431,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tongin-evening-bowl/parang-haenyeo-jongno-shrimp-ramen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
