A Japanese izakaya on the fourth floor of a building on Seolleung-ro 155-gil, a few minutes' walk from exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo station. It serves aged sashimi, mackerel bar sushi, hotpots and charcoal-hearth robatayaki, with most plates between 19,000 and 58,000 won and the sashimi platter at 34,000 won a head. Seating is split between a bar facing the open kitchen, hall tables and private rooms. We read 30 posts from December 2025 to October 2026; one was about a different restaurant, leaving 29 visits.

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

The private rooms are the main draw: 24 of the 29 visits mention them, many from groups booking for birthdays, wedding-invitation dinners or year-end parties. Three posts say a birthday note brought balloons or a garland and a bowl of beef seaweed soup. The room minimums (150,000 won for 2–4, 300,000 for 6–8) are copied from the house's own notice; one December 2025 post instead wrote that spending over 200,000 won waived the room charge.
From the bar you watch the cooking: 11 posts mention the open kitchen, describing mackerel being smoked or crab cleaned for the hotpot right in front of them. One noted the grill chef does nothing but grill.
A crisp cracker snack arrives as soon as you sit; 12 posts mention it, and one party refilled it three times. One post was also served cold barley tea.
Five posts say you order from a tablet or kiosk at the table.

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

Eleven posts put it a three-to-five-minute walk from exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo station.

Getting inside

In a basement	yes 0 · no 5 (of 28 posts read)
Lift to the floor	5 of 28 posts
Toilet inside	2 of 28 posts
Separate restrooms	3 of 28 posts

Five posts took the lift up to the fourth floor, so it is not a basement venue. One post says the entrance is right off the lift, with a waiting bench.

No one wrote about a step at the entrance or wheelchair and pram access; we only know there is a lift.

Two posts say the toilet is inside the restaurant and three that it is split by gender; two mention mouthwash and hand cream laid out. No one mentioned an accessible toilet.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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

It is not cheap, and several prices have risen. Seven posts call it pricey; one questioned the beef sashimi and flounder gimbap outright. Soju was 8,000 won in posts up to September 2026 and 9,000 won in October; the beef katsu sando went from 39,000 (August) to 49,000 won (October), and the five-colour sashimi from 64,000 (September) to 68,000 won (October). One couple's three dishes came to 145,000 won.
Several posts copy that corkage is allowed, but the fee differs: three (June, July and October 2026) say 40,000 won for wine and 80,000 for whisky, two (October) say 50,000 for wine or sake and 100,000 for whisky. The split does not follow dates, so ask first.
No post reports waiting. Ten booked ahead, and two noticed reserved tables filling after 7 pm. We don't know how long a walk-in would wait.
Opening hours: 19 posts all give daily 17:00 to 02:00 with last orders at 00:30, but every one copied the listing. One says there is no closing day.
The phone number, 02-544-0405, is the same across posts; bookings go through Naver or CatchTable.
The claim that actors Cha Eun-woo and Ji Chang-wook are regulars appears in identical wording in four posts, so we don't rely on it; five posts likewise repeat the same house notes (a chef 'brought from Kyoto', a three-hour seating limit) in the same order. No post discloses sponsorship; one says it paid its own way, one hints at an invitation, and the other 27 say nothing.
