About
Cozy Korean pub near Sadang Station serving seafood-rich tomato stew pasta and anju platters, featuring a second-floor loft space.
Tucked just a short walk from Sadang Station’s Exit 5 in Gwanak-gu, Moonlight Sura (Dalbit Sura) is a compact Korean cookery pub that hits its stride late into the evening. The storefront glows with a warm, romantic moonlight concept, leading into a dimly lit, atmospheric interior. While the ground floor offers well-spaced tables suited for quieter conversations, a cozy second-floor attic space with low floor seating accommodates lively group gatherings. Rather than overwhelming diners with an sprawling tavern menu, the kitchen focuses on a curated selection of comforting anju designed to pair with soju and beer. The experience starts with a bowl of nostalgic spiral-shaped sora crackers to nibble on while the kitchen fires up the orders. A house favorite is the spicy tomato haejang pasta, brought to the table bubbling hot in an earthenware ttukbaegi. Built on freshly crushed tomatoes, the broth leans heavily into seafood flavors and a sharp, peppery kick rather than Italian richness, swimming with spaghetti, mussels, squid, shrimp, and cabbage. It eats closer to a spicy Chinese-style seafood noodle soup, keeping heat in the pot and acting as an assertive hangover cure mid-drink. For richer pairings, the menu leans into premium Korean beef. The 1++ Hanwoo yukhoe arrives glossed in a sweet-and-tangy dressing, paired with wasabi and an unctuous raw egg yolk that coats the chewy, fresh raw beef. Guests also turn to savory rounds of Hanwoo yukjeon served alongside dressed chives and onions, dense cheese-stuffed rolled omelets (gyeran-mari), and hearty pots of beef shabu jeongol or skewered odeng-tang. Drawing both younger pairings and older neighborhood regulars, this unpretentious hideaway captures the relaxed charm of Sadang’s backstreets, making it an easy pick for a deliberate first round or a restorative late-night pit stop.
