Mapo izakaya near Gongdeok Station for uni samhap: Orot Silbi

Orot Silbi is a casual izakaya near Gongdeok Station in Mapo, Seoul, serving Japanese dishes and drinks. I had uni samhap with gamtae, sweet shrimp, and negitoro, plus Suntory Premium Malt’s draft beer and fried chicken cartilage. Verdict: a polished, cozy choice for dinner or casual drinks.
