Sashimi bar open till 2am near Jeonpo Station, Busan: Rigo Susan

I stopped by Rigo Susan Jeonpo Station Main Branch, a bar near Exit 8 of Jeonpo Station in Busan, and enjoyed an aged sashimi combo platter. Perfect aging on the fish, a hearty spread of basic side dishes, and pairing it with the new soju flavor Saero Omija made this place a complete package — let me introduce it.

Walking from Jeonpo Station to Rigo Susan: what is the bar like?

Located at 13 Jeonpodae-ro 216beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, 1st floor, Rigo Susan is a very short walk from Jeonpo Station on Line 2, so accessibility was great.

The exterior was clean and had a strong blue, oceanic feel, which built up my expectations right from the entrance.

Stepping inside, I noticed a cozy yet stylish interior, and the tables were spaced comfortably, making it a great spot for a relaxed drink. The lighting was soft too, perfect for a date or catching up with friends.

I visited around 11pm on a Friday and there was no wait, but on weekend evenings there might normally be a line.

Rigo Susan menu and prices

Looking at the menu, there was a wide variety of seafood and sashimi dishes prepared. The main representative dishes — aged sashimi combo platter, gizzard shad sashimi set, and live raw shrimp set — were all priced at ₩49,000. There were also a few other seafood dishes worth pairing with. The drink selection was wide too, from regular soju to various highballs.

We ordered the aged sashimi combo, but since it's raw shrimp season right now, a lot of people were ordering that too. They said they fry the heads separately, which sounds like a nice treat as well!

Is the 49,000-won aged sashimi platter worth it?

What we ordered at Rigo Susan Jeonpo Station Main Branch was the aged sashimi combo platter for ₩49,000 and soju for ₩5,000.

A simple snack to nibble on: caramel popcorn.

True to a seafood-focused restaurant, even the soy sauce was Japanese soy sauce.

I was planning not to drink and let just my husband have some, but with side dishes like this, how could I resist? I saw they had the Omija Saero flavor and got curious, so I ordered that haha.

Wow, seeing it in person was even more impressive than in photos — this basic spread alone could easily empty three bottles if you really sit down and drink.

Okonomiyaki as a basic side dish...? Is this even real?

The shrimp weren't dried out either — plump and juicy.

And there was even a California roll lol. So much for the idea that you'll go hungry at a sashimi restaurant — it can double as a meal.

This is seasoned squid — usually you mix it with chogochujang (vinegared chili paste), but I ate the vegetables separately and dipped it instead. It's already seasoned with sesame oil, so it was tasty even on its own.

This is fried squid and sweet potato — the oil was drained well so it wasn't greasy at all.

And the udon was genuinely as good as what you'd get from a specialty shop! The broth was perfectly seasoned and the noodles were very chewy.

What comes on the platter: Spanish mackerel, salmon and amberjack

Ta-da, finally the main aged sashimi combo platter — mackerel, salmon, and amberjack sashimi, served together with sushi rice. It was neatly sliced, and it wasn't just good-looking — my husband, a sashimi fanatic, said it had great depth of flavor and a chewy texture and ate it happily. Since I personally can only eat salmon when it comes to raw fish, my husband is usually disappointed we can't go to sashimi restaurants together, but here salmon was included too, so I was so happy 😆 (the salmon is all mine^^)

Just looking at it, the whole spread felt so plentiful~~

The Saero Omija wasn't overly fruity either — just enough to soften the bitterness of soju. It went down smoothly~ I said I wouldn't drink but ended up going for round two once we got home 🤣

Final verdict on Rigo Susan in Jeonpo-dong

If you're looking for a proper sashimi restaurant or bar in Jeonpo-dong, I'd recommend this place. At ₩49,000, the sashimi combo was generous, the basic side dishes alone were filling enough on their own, and the atmosphere was satisfying all around.
