Place
Haehwaro · Bangi-dong, Jamsil, Seoul
📍 Where
Haehwaro (해화로) is in Bangi-dong, in the Jamsil area of Seoul. 📍
🍽️ What I ordered
I ordered raw shrimp (생새우회), sea squirt (참멍게) and fish sashimi (생선회), with soju. 🍶
👀 Visit impressions
The raw shrimp felt like it melted in my mouth and the sashimi was very fresh, but it was the sea squirt that I kept picking up and dipping lightly in chojang, the red dipping sauce. The seafood felt good value, and I left thinking about coming back. For fresh seafood and sashimi in Jamsil it is the first place I would suggest, especially the raw shrimp and the sea squirt. 🦐
