Known for Japanese cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
15 min walk from Seongsu Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like Seoul Forest: Free Urban Oasis with Deer Feeding & Stunning Seasonal Views.
Japanese cuisine has deep roots in Seoul, shaped by geographic proximity and a long shared history. Seoul-style Japanese restaurants range from affordable sushi conveyor belts and ramen shops to high-end omakase counters. Quality fish is flown in daily, and Korean chefs often put their own spin on Japanese classics — thicker broths, spicier condiments, and seasonal Korean ingredients woven into traditional recipes.
Seongdong-gu's Seongsu-dong has transformed from an industrial zone into Seoul's most talked-about food and culture district. Nicknamed 'Seoul's Brooklyn,' it hosts artisan roasters, pop-up restaurants, and concept cafés in renovated factories alongside high-end boutiques. The food scene rewards curiosity — the best spots are often down an alleyway or behind an unmarked door.

I won first place in the raffle event!! I'm so excited. I love both yukhoe and sushi, so it was great to be able to enjoy both. Surprisingly, the sukiyaki was surprisingly delicious. It's cold out, so the hot soup is perfect. The atmosphere is great, and it was a great post-dinner walk in Seoul Forest.
My wife and I visited Sushidoku The Seongsu branch, a popular year-end party spot in Seongsu-dong. True to its reputation, the assorted sushi and hitsumabushi were exquisite, made with fresh ingredients. We were able to sample a variety of sushi, and the eel rice bowl, made with a whole freshwater eel, was generous and delicious, making it a feast for the eyes as well. The upscale atmosphere and charming atmosphere make Sushidoku The Seongsu the perfect spot for dates, gatherings, or special occasions. I plan to return with my kids soon.
