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.
Mapo-gu — home to Hongdae, Sinchon, and Hapjeong — is Seoul's youth and arts district, defined by its university population, live music venues, and creative energy. The food scene is diverse, affordable, and experimental: trendy cafés, late-night pojangmacha, global street food, and boundary-pushing restaurants all compete for attention in this perpetually buzzing neighbourhood.

Small cozy place with the freshest fatty tuna and delicious udon soup. If the place if full, you can write the last 4 numbers of your phone number on the waiting list and move to the red door next door (there is a waiting area over there). They will call the 4 numbers in korean over speaker if it is your turn.
I got the Premium 12 piece Toro Sushi and it was absolutely delicious! I was lucky enough to get the last pieces as it is a limited menu, so I would advise that you go early to place your spot as this restaurant can get busy quick. On top of the sushi, you are also given a complementary Udon which had a slight kick but also tasted amazing. It was perfect for the chilly weather and I was left very satisfied after the meal. Highly recommend the 12 piece Toro sushi, and I know I’ll be going back next time I visit Korea.
