Mapo omakase restaurant for dinner: Danya at Seoul Garden Hotel

Danya at Seoul Garden Hotel (서울가든호텔 단야) is a Japanese restaurant on the hotel's first basement level near Mapo Station in Seoul. I took my mom for the ₩85,000-per-person sushi omakase, a chef-selected dinner course, and especially enjoyed the lightly aged sashimi and sushi made to order. The space was small, but the staff were attentive and the courses added up to a filling meal.

Sangam gimbap restaurant for picnic takeout: Samhyeongje Gimbap

Samhyeongje Gimbap’s Sangam branch (삼형제김밥 상암점) specializes in yubu gimbap (seaweed rice rolls with fried tofu) on basement level 1 of Nurikkum Square in Mapo-gu, Seoul. I took three varieties to Nanjicheon Park for a picnic and enjoyed the savory, sweet tofu and generously packed fillings. There is a small seating area outside the shop, but it felt better suited to takeout, and the spicy fish cake roll was hotter than I expected.
