Seochon Gyedanjip — Restaurant in Seoul

Another one of typical cases of notoriety preceding (or rather overrated for) the actual thing... Menu consists of either sashimi or steamed seafood, so all the dishes basically have no particular taste other than the plain unadulterated taste & flavor of the sea... Steamed shrimp and steamed trumpet shells (conch) were especially good and matched perfectly with beer or white wine, which (the latter) they don't serve... But one must take into consideration that the place is not for sophisticated taste buds or classy ambience. It's just a rough traditional joint like a road-side Irish pub, so coarse is naturally its style that comes with the territory... The closest parallel comparison may be McSorely's in the East Village, NYC... One can top it off with the fisherman's ramen, which is spiced up with assorted frutti di mare and hot...

Korean tradional(?) Suljib. You can enjoy Honghap-tang(Mussel soup), this is hard to eat it recently for basic side dishes.

A bit dirty and very noisy here, but this is the real Korean style place for...

Okay-ish food, TERRIBLE service. The lady RUSHED us to order NOW when we were not even seated yet. She literally stared at us for 2 minutes straight. Had to tell her that we will call her when we are ready. Heard the lady "strongly recommending" relatively expensive dishes only to other customers when they looked obviously uncomfortable. Came in here to pass the time until the other restaurant that we wanted to go had some seats available, but the experience overall was not satisfying. Would not come back here again.

안주는 괜찮으나 서비스는 별로. 의자에 앉지도 않았는데 뭐 시킬거냐고 다그치듯이 물어보고, 아직 먹고있는건데 안주 조금밖에 안남았다 싶으면 슬그머니 치우려고 하고. 솔직히 처음부터 여기 오려던것도 아니고 안주마을 가려다가 대기줄 너무 길어서 시간 때우기...
