A tuna sashimi house on the second floor of 21 Donggyo-ro 27-gil, near Hongik University station. There are four per-person courses — 45,000, 58,000, 75,000 and 100,000 won — running from porridge and starters through two plates of labelled cuts, refills, grilled fish, shrimp tempura, soup and a hand roll or rice bowl. Eight of the 14 visit posts had the 58,000-won chef's course, and the course prices did not change across the posts. We read 17 posts from November 2024 to October 2026; 14 describe an actual visit.

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
- There is both counter seating and tables: seven posts mention both, and several note partitions between tables. One post says the room is not large. Only one post mentions an actual separate room.
- From the counter you can watch the chef break down the tuna; four posts say so, and two describe the chef bringing the second plate and explaining each cut.
- People book ahead on Naver: seven posts booked or mention booking, and one found the table already set on arrival.
- It is a walk from Hongik University station; eight posts give 5 to 10 minutes from exit 2 or 5 minutes from exit 3.
4 more
- Five posts received a free bottle of gold-flake soju through a Naver review or notification event. The birthday bottle is the shop's own notice, which we did not count.
- Seven posts found it good value, one found it expensive (four people on the VIP course with three bottles of Hwayo came to about 100,000 won each), and one was undecided.
- Six posts are from repeat visits, one a month after the last, another from someone who goes every quarter.
- Five posts say the portions are large; one says they always leave the final rice course unfinished.

Where it 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
It is a walk from Hongik University station; eight posts give 5 to 10 minutes from exit 2 or 5 minutes from exit 3.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 4 of 14 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 4 (of 14 posts read) |
The restaurant is upstairs on the second floor; four posts say so, and one notes the sign and banner at street level make it easy to find.
No post says whether the second floor is reached by stairs or a lift, or whether there is a step at the door. We don't know.
No post mentions the toilet — where it is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: 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 17 posts we gathered, 3 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
- No post mentions waiting; most booked, and one arrived at the 4 pm opening as the first customers. We don't know the wait for walk-ins in the evening.
- Four posts went with friends and two in larger groups. None went alone — the counter is said to suit solo diners, but not by anyone who tried it — and none brought children.
- Nine visit posts give the same hours, 4 pm to 11 pm, closed Sundays, though mostly copied from listings. The no-break-time detail is copied too, and no one gives a last order time.
- Listed prices are for the course; drinks are extra. Only two posts give a whole-meal cost: about 100,000 won a head with Hwayo, and 116,000 won for two on the chef's course before drinks. Corkage was 20,000 won a bottle in one post.
- Two phone numbers appear: 0507-1495-3788 in six posts and 02-332-3788 in two, and one post says the table mat lists 332-3788 for reservations. Most people booked through Naver.
- Other tuna places share the name; one blogger says the nearby Mangwon branch is unrelated and this is the original, but that is hearsay we did not count.
- Kirin draft first appears in July 2025, when one post says it seemed new; earlier posts mention only soju, beer-soju mixes and Hwayo. We don't know exactly when it was added.
- Two posts may be promotional: one carries affiliate ads and credits its photos to the business, the other is a template with photo placeholders still in it. Neither discloses payment.
