I tried Korean cuisine for the first time, which I'm not very familiar with. The small dishes lined up in front of me were overwhelming. Are these complimentary dishes? They are all intricately made and delicious. I ordered seafood pancake. I think it was 2000 yen. It was delicious! The pancake was thin with plenty of filling, and I realized this is what real pancake tastes like. The kimchi stew was around 1300 yen, I think. It looked small in the photo, and the taste was okay. The prices are a bit high, so I realized that I need to be more decisive to come here more often.

On a regular day, six of us visited a popular second-floor restaurant along Kasuga Street, not far from Ueno Okachimachi. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance as they have limited seating capacity. We started with a toast with beer and ordered dishes like octopus sashimi, seafood pancake, kimchi, kimchi dumpling hot pot, etc. Various Korean appetizers were served, such as kimchi, marinated kamaboko, bean sprout namul, small fish, pickled radish, all of which were delicious. The octopus sashimi, served with cucumber and sesame oil, had a chewy texture and was a hit among everyone. The seafood pancake was perfectly cooked with a generous amount of seafood and a refreshing sauce. The kimchi dumpling hot pot had a rich and spicy soup with large dumplings that were excellent. We also added ramen at the end and enjoyed it thoroughly. We indulged in a variety of drinks from beer to makgeolli and sours. Although the prices were a bit high, the food had a consistent quality and we would definitely come back when craving authentic Korean cuisine. Thank you for the meal!

Just a 1-minute walk from Yushima Station!! Introducing "Korean Cuisine Sei Tsuru Do (Cheong Hak Dong)" where you can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine. This restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, from classic Korean dishes like Samgyeopsal, Jjim, and Sundubu to less common ones like Kamjatang, Bossam, and Gyeranmari. The interior of the restaurant has a traditional Korean atmosphere that will uplift your mood!! In Korean culture, it seems to be common for customers to leave behind what they don't finish, and surprisingly, you will be served with 7 appetizers (see 5th photo). The prices of each dish are a bit high, so it may not be suitable for those who want to order a lot of dishes. However, the portion size of each dish is generous and very delicious. We tried the Stone Grilled Seafood Green Onion Jjim for ¥2750 and Kamjatang (medium) for ¥3850. The Stone Grilled Seafood Green Onion Jjim is made on a hot stone with plenty of ingredients and tastes addictive when dipped in the special sauce!! It goes well with alcohol, so be sure to order the Jjim. Kamjatang is a pot dish made by simmering potatoes and pork spine, and it was my first time trying it. It was also incredibly delicious, with the tender pork and the soup in the pot being a perfect match!! The soup was so good that you'll want to drink it all up.

Located along Kasuga Street, there is a Korean home cooking restaurant called Seireidou. It may be a bit tricky to pronounce, but it's a two-story restaurant with seating available on both floors, making it quite convenient. The third floor even has a spacious tatami room, suitable for larger groups. The entrance is adorned with a painting that catches the eye, giving off a Korean cuisine vibe. With around 8 people, the cost per person is reasonable, at less than 5000 yen. The dishes are not overly spicy but have a well-balanced flavor profile. Despite the abundance of Korean restaurants in the area, this place stands out with its satisfying taste. If you're dining with a large group, this restaurant is definitely worth considering!

The restaurant is open until 3am and I visited when I wanted to eat delicious Korean food late at night. The Bossam was very tender and tasty. The Jjim was also recommended by the staff and was full of ingredients. The prices are not very cheap, but I recommend it to those who want to eat delicious Korean food.

Thank you for reading this article. Your likes and comments are encouraging. I will continue to update with more content, so I would be grateful if you could save or follow. The Chi-jmi Kanjan Kejan was also delicious. Thank you for the meal.

There are so many things I want to eat at this restaurant that I end up ordering too much and can't finish it all. The portion sizes are huge, so I wish they would offer smaller menu options. The food is authentic and I find myself craving it at least once every two weeks. It's a place where you want to show off your eating skills, otherwise you'll have leftovers. Every menu item has a generous portion size, so be careful. Considering this, the cost performance is good.

You can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine at this restaurant. They import seasonings and chili peppers from Korea. Bosam is a must-try dish, with tender pork cooked with aromatic vegetables, topped with kimchi, wrapped in pickled cabbage and radish, and dipped in shrimp salted sauce. The stone-grilled seafood pancake is also delicious, made with flour mixed with lotus root and potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, so it's recommended to go with 3 or 4 people if you want to eat a lot.

I entered without a reservation at 4:00 pm, but at 5:00 pm, walk-in customers were being turned away. I do not recommend the kamjatang as it has a small amount of edible parts. The "Kora" in Ebisu has plenty of vegetables like chrysanthemum greens. The stone-grilled seafood negi chijimi for 2,500 yen is expensive but delicious. The level of chijimi is too high. Just this and beer are enough (lol).

I wanted to try possum so I went and tried it. It was definitely delicious and it was my first time trying possum so I made some discoveries. If I had to say something negative, the price was a bit high and the portion size was moderate, so it might be more enjoyable for a larger group than a small one. Personally, I really liked the potato jeon. It was chewy and had a good texture, probably because it was connected with potato starch. It was satisfying to eat and the taste suited my preferences.

The Kochujang Pork Galbi was already cooked type and it was delicious, not too spicy, not too sweet. The Chijimi was also recommended and very tasty. I personally think that the Korean restaurants in this area are better than Shin-Okubo. Actually, I visited because Allen Mock was full this time, but it was very delicious. I will visit again.

Slightly deviating from traditional Korean cuisine, yet not too modern, this place leaves a unique impression. It's not something you would find in Shin-Okubo, but maybe it's not quite right for Yushima either. It's like a proper restaurant, but it doesn't quite fit anywhere. It's hard to put into words, but there's something off about the way the dishes, decor, and service come together. It's not necessarily bad, but it just doesn't quite click.

At first, a variety of punchan (Korean appetizers) were energetically arranged on the table, making it hard to decide where to start. I tried to control my excitement and behave properly. This time, I enjoyed the Kamjatang (potato soup stew) as the main dish. Of course, I had Chamisul (Korean soju) to drink. They didn't even ask how I wanted to drink it, as if drinking it straight was the norm. I could hear Korean being spoken at various tables, indicating its popularity among Korean customers. The Kamjatang was perfect, with plenty of pork backbone providing a rich broth, and the soft texture of the potatoes complemented by the slight bitterness of perilla leaves. It was a great dining experience, and I would definitely visit again. Ueno and Yushima have many Korean restaurants, thanks to the Korean Town (Touueno) established during the post-war reconstruction period. Overall, it was a great restaurant. Thank you for the meal. - Memo - ◉ Highball 550 yen ◉ Draft Beer 550 yen ◎ Negi Salad 990 yen ◎ Kamjatang (medium) 3,850 yen ◉ Chamisul 1,430 yen x 2 Total (incl. tax) 8,800 yen for 2 people ✔︎ Card payment available ✔︎ 3rd floor seating is not sunken kotatsu style ✔︎ Popular restaurant, reservations recommended ✔︎ Korean customers also frequent the restaurant

I made a reservation at a restaurant I had been wanting to go to for a while, and they said they could fit me in in an hour and a half. I was thrilled and excited to go. They had mentioned that the seating was a bit cramped, but it wasn't cramped at all. I tried the moving octopus dish (San-nakji) and the steamed pork wrapped in cabbage (Bossam), and they were incredibly delicious. However, this restaurant is tough for just two people. You won't be able to eat anything else besides the Bossam. It fills you up completely! (laughs)

I made a reservation through Tabelog, but when I arrived, they told me that the Tabelog reservation was closed. Oh well, at least we got a table! It was a mistake to go with just two people. We wanted to go with about five people because each dish was so large, we ended up feeling really full! The food was delicious and we wanted to try more dishes. I wanted to order the seafood pancake, but my companion couldn't eat shrimp and squid, so I ordered the kimchi pancake instead. Even though I was told it didn't have squid, it actually did have a lot of squid in it, which was a big disappointment!

I finally visited this restaurant that was recommended to me a long time ago. The customers before me were Korean, and the ones who came after were also Korean, so I can trust this place!! The pork kalbi was spicy and really went well with rice. I took Kimbap to go for breakfast the next morning. It was delicious!!

I visited a Korean restaurant called Choonghaktong. The nearest stations are Ueno-Hirokoji or Yushima. The area is filled with Korean restaurants, giving it a Koreatown vibe. The restaurant is on the second floor, with manual doors. The atmosphere is very casual, with mostly Korean staff and customers. The interior was a bit cold, possibly due to frequent ventilation for COVID-19 prevention. The restroom setup was unique, with a separate area for men and toilets at the back. The menu is on the pricier side, but the portion sizes make up for it. We ordered a bottle of beer, which was served with a complimentary set of 7 appetizers. The standout dish was the Seafood Pancake, packed with shrimp, squid, red pepper, and chives. It was worth the price and delicious. We also tried the Ginseng Chicken Soup, which was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, the food was great, and I would love to come back with more people to try more dishes.

Taste: Excellent Service: Excellent Cost performance: Excellent First, I ordered drinks and then the appetizers arrived. There were 7 different types to enjoy. I highly recommend the seafood pancake (forgot to take a photo). It was loaded with seafood and not greasy like other places. It remained delicious until the last bite. Next, the highlight was the Kamjatang, a pork bone stew that was a surprising first-time experience for me. The pork bones were large and the meat almost melted off. The soup was rich with flavors of pork bone, sesame, and other complex tastes. The bone-in kalbi was also delicious. The Korean lady serving us was friendly and occasionally came to explain things. We enjoyed the night drinking Makgeolli and left feeling satisfied.

Authentic Korean restaurant. It doesn't have the trendy vibe of the city, but rather the atmosphere of a traditional and clean Seoul eatery. We had pig trotters, seafood and green onion pancake, stir-fried pork, and beer. The pig trotters are steamed and seasoned with soy sauce, with bones intact for sucking the meat off. The collagen-rich meat is gelatinous and has zero fat. It might be a love-it-or-hate-it dish. The seafood and green onion pancake is huge! It can easily fill up two people. The ingredients and cooking method are spot on, reaffirming the deliciousness of the pancake. The stir-fried pork is Korean-style with a gochujang base, perfect for enjoying with beer. In addition, there are 7-8 types of banchan, all vegetable-based and deliciously healthy. The fact that none of the dishes are catered towards Japanese tastes actually works in their favor, and the majority of customers are Korean, with Korean conversations filling the air. In these times when we can't travel abroad due to COVID-19, this restaurant offers a brief taste of Seoul. The portions are large, so it's best to go with a large group, but I definitely want to revisit in the future.
