Eunhaenggol Hongdaeyeok-jeom

은행골 홍대역점 Eunhaeng can mean the ginkgo tree (or a bank) and gol a hollow or village; none of the posts explain the name, and Hongdaeyeok-jeom marks this as the Hongik University Station branch of the chain.

Compiled from 11 blog posts read in fullSources →

Eunhaenggol Hongdae Station branch is a red-signed sushi house on Eoulmadang-ro, behind Exit 8 of Hongik University Station. It serves 12-piece mixed and single-fish sushi plates plus bluefin tuna sashimi by the cut. Posts from 2026 list the mi plate at 13,000 won, the teukseon and seon plates at 17,000 and half flounder/half salmon at 19,000; a July 2025 post lists the jin plate at 22,000 and the special toro plate at 39,000. You order on your phone from a QR or tag on the table, and free udon comes out first. Three posts warn that a separate 'Hongdae branch' sits near Sangsu Station. We read 28 posts dated January 2025 to October 2026; 12 of them (July 2025 to October 2026) record eating here. The rest were about other Eunhaenggol branches, other restaurants, or didn't say which branch.

Rows without a count: 2 of 5 posts.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. Udon arrives first after you order: nine of the twelve visit posts mention it — in a stone pot, a small earthen pot, with fish cake. One called it a complimentary fish-cake soup, and one said refills were offered. Two posts also got a free aged-kimchi sushi piece.
  2. You order on your own phone rather than with a server: four posts used a QR code or NFC tag on the table, and one noted you pay at the counter after eating.
  3. The posts find it easy on the wallet: five say so and none calls it expensive. A family of three paid 30,000 won for two plates, and another compared the 13,000-won mi plate with supermarket sushi at about 10,000.
  4. It is close to the station: three posts put it 3 minutes, 5 minutes or 225 m on foot from Exit 8 of Hongik University Station, and one gives turn-by-turn directions past Gong Cha and a roundabout. Several mention the red facade is visible from afar.

Where it is

Map showing where Eunhaenggol Hongdaeyeok-jeom is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

3 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

No post says which floor the restaurant is on or whether there are stairs; we don't know.

No post mentions a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access; we don't know.

No post says where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender; we don't know.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 13 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • Accounts of the room differ: four posts call it roomy with well-spaced tables, one says it is not large, and one says the hall is small but the tables are spread out. Two posts noted many foreign customers.
  • Five posts say the rice is packed loosely and falls apart easily. Some like that it melts in the mouth, and one diner used a spoon. Others did not: one says the egg sushi lost its shape entirely, and one found the rice crumbling on a first visit right at opening but fine on the second.
  • One post found a strong fishy smell on entering, while noting the dishes were spotless and still warm from washing. No other post mentions a smell.
  • No post describes waiting. Two say they were seated right away — just before a weekend lunch, and at a weekday lunch with one other party. Nobody wrote about evenings, so we don't know.
  • Five posts list opening hours, all in an info-box style. They agree on 11:30 to 22:00; two say Saturdays run to 22:30 (last order 22:00), while one lists 22:00 every day. No post mentions a closing day.
  • Four posts give the same phone number, 02-336-4988. None says whether the restaurant takes reservations.
