어사랑 A second-floor fish house by Euljiro 3-ga station: lunch stews and rice bowls by day, sashimi platters and private rooms at night.

Western · Jung-gu, Euljiro 3-ga

Data as of · Published ·

Eosarang is a fish restaurant on the second floor of a building on Supyo-ro, right outside exit 11 at Euljiro 3-ga. The licence calls it a Western-style diner; the writers call it a sashimi house, a seafood place, a Japanese restaurant. It runs as two restaurants in a day — at lunch, a rice bowl of raw fish, a roe stew, a cod stew or grilled mackerel, ₩12,000 to ₩14,000; in the evening, platters of sashimi and set courses. There are several private rooms for two to four along both sides of the hall, and a long table that takes eight to thirty-two. You order from a kiosk at the table. Eleven in the morning, closed from half past two to half past four, shut at ten on weekdays, nine on Saturday, and all day Sunday. The posts we read run from July 2025 to July 2026.

What sets it apart

  1. It is right outside the station. Sixteen writers say so, putting it at 65, 60 or 107 metres from exit 11 at Euljiro 3-ga, or one to two minutes' walk. Two give a landmark: straight across the road from the Four Points hotel, on the second floor. One says exit 12 works too, and one comes from exit 8 at Chungmuro in three minutes. One writer had resolved not to walk more than five minutes in the summer heat, and chose this place on that basis.
  2. The free side dishes are what these writers praise most. Twenty of them mention it, and several open with some version of the idea that you can tell a good kitchen by its banchan alone. What arrives varies, but the overlap is: a small dish of dressed raw fish (five are startled to get it free), dressed cockles (six), a fried egg each (eleven), braised radish (seven), seaweeds — wakame, gulfweed, kelp — aged and white kimchi, pickled scallion, ginger and radish, macaroni and cabbage salad, and a bowl of miso or soybean soup. One writer says it is like visiting your mother, who keeps bringing more. Two ordered a bowl of rice on the side purely to eat the cockles with.
  3. The owner comes round the tables. Ten writers describe it — one calls it a thing you rarely see now and reads pride into it; another watched him work the room and concluded from how the customers greeted him that most of them were regulars. Four record being taught how to eat something: wrap the fish in the aged kimchi; add the rice to the bowl last, because its heat spoils the fish; this one is sea bream and that one is sea bass. Four mention his photograph, large, on the stairs and by the door.
  4. There are a number of private rooms. Seventeen writers mention them: small rooms for two to four, along both sides of the hall, and a long table that takes eight to thirty-two, according to two of them. One describes curtains that can partition a space. Two writers tested the soundproofing and both approve — with the door shut you can talk, and the work dinner going on in the next room did not intrude. One was able to have a cake brought out while she was in the toilet, which the room made possible. One writer, though, says what she had was not quite a room, just a partly divided space. Four advise booking ahead.
  5. The fish is cut thick. Eight writers say so — one measures a centimetre; another says one slice here is two slices elsewhere; a third simply liked the bite of it. Seven say it is not fishy. There is exactly one dissent: a writer eating the poached octopus found it slightly off, and adds that the rest of her table did not.

Parking

5 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Posts saying you cannot5 of 26 posts

There is no car park. Five writers say so in their own words — parking in Euljiro is hard, find a public lot, it cannot be done here. But not one of them records actually parking anywhere. Which lot, how far, how much: nobody says. Every one of these twenty-six people seems to have walked or taken the train.

Getting there

Map showing where Eosarang is

Getting inside

Second floor8 of 26 posts

It is up a flight of stairs on the second floor. Eight writers say so in their own words — puffing up the steps, following the stairs, reading the menu taped along the stairwell on the way. Nobody mentions a lift. One writer opens her whole post with it: in this business, she says, the difference between the ground floor and the first is large, and so is the difference between a ground floor with a few steps and one without. How many steps there are, and whether there is a handrail, nobody says.

Nobody looked at the entrance. In twenty-six posts the words wheelchair, pushchair, step, ramp and lift never appear. All we have is that it is on the second floor and you take the stairs. We do not know whether you can get in — not that you cannot, but that no one wrote it down.

Nobody writes about actually using the toilet. Six posts state that the toilets are separated by sex, and all six are copying the same amenity list off the map listing — group bookings, takeaway, reservations, wi-fi, separate toilets, paid corkage, mobile payment, all in one line. Whether the toilet is inside the restaurant or out in the building's corridor, how many cubicles it has, whether it is on the same floor — nobody says. For the same reason not one writer used the corkage and not one used the wi-fi, so we left those fields empty.

No one mentioned: 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.

What we do not know

  • We removed two posts about different restaurants with this name. Eosarang is a common sign, and the pile we collected included one about an *Eosarang* near Konkuk University and one about an *Eosarang* by Sagajeong station in Jungnang-gu. The Sagajeong post carried a check-in widget pointing at our address, but its text says a hundred metres from exit 4 at Sagajeong. We went with the text. A third removal: a listicle of ten sashimi houses around Chungmuro, assembled from scraped review counts and phone numbers, in which this shop is one line. Twenty-six posts, twenty-three people. Someone who works nearby wrote four of them, as weekly lunch diaries in which this shop turns up once a week. Eight posts end with the same five hashtags in the same order. All were published in July and August 2025, and three of those eight declare a sponsorship. The other five say nothing. Their texts differ and we counted them all, but a third of what exists about this shop came out of one batch, and you should know that going in. Two writers say they paid; in two more, a company or a friend did.
  • They disagree about how much food it is, and the line falls in a clear place. Those who came at lunch for a stew or a rice bowl say it is plenty — full before the rice, more than she could finish, stuffed on half the rice. Those who came in the evening for sashimi say the opposite: a party of three who took the large platter ask what three people are supposed to do with it, and a writer who took the large yellowtail says twice that it was short. Lunch has one complaint of its own: two people ordering the same stew get one pot between them rather than a bowl each, which left one writer short — though another, given the same pot, preferred it that way.
  • Whether it is cheap also depends on the hour. Five lunchtime writers call it fair — reasonable for Euljiro and for an office lunch, the stew cheap and good, enough for one meal. The two who came in the evening for fish say otherwise: the prices run a bit high for what you get, and the large yellowtail is on the dear side. The prices themselves did not move over the year we read — a July 2025 post and a July 2026 post give the same ₩13,000 for the rice bowl, ₩14,000 for the roe stew, ₩12,000 for the pollock stew.
  • Nobody records queueing here. But the room filling up comes up repeatedly — a hall that looked roomy went full as the lunch hour proper began; a Saturday party who arrived at six watched it fill from seven; another found every table taken by other gatherings. The sharpest note is this: one writer gave up on a forty-minute queue elsewhere on a weekend and walked into this place, which she had simply seen in front of her. What happens when there is no table, and whether names are taken, nobody says. Four advise booking if you want a room.
  • Two things need a human to check. First, the ownership may have changed: a post from 10 August 2025 says, in one line, that the owner seems to be new. That is the whole of it; no post before or after mentions it. Second, another restaurant shares the street address — there is a whelk house on the ground floor, and one writer moved down to it for a second round. This place is upstairs. Two posts call it a designated model restaurant, a plaque the district office issues. Both were reading the plaque at the entrance. We have not verified it; we have only that two people saw it.
  • The phone number does not match our records. All nine posts that give a number give 02-752-8328, and the map listing has the same. The number on the food-business licence is 02-2267-1422. Nine writers agreeing is enough for us to publish theirs and record the other here — which of the two is answered today we have not checked. Read it alongside the one line above about the owner seeming to have changed.
