Bada Coconut
바다코코넛
About
Seafood-and-sashimi pub near Noksapyeong Station, with a ship-like interior downstairs and a pocha-style rooftop floor.
On a seafood crawl around Yongsan, 바다코코넛 makes a strong case for settling in with a raw-fish platter and a drink. The dish that turns up repeatedly in visits is 영덕 가자미 막회와 날치알쌈: a generous serving of roughly cut flatfish, paired with flying-fish roe and a spread of sauces and accompaniments. Build each bite to your liking—try the fish with roe and 백김치 in a leaf, or wrap it in seaweed for a maki-like contrast. The range of condiments, from 초장 and soy sauce to wasabi, pickled ginger, garlic, and chili, makes the platter feel like a meal with several paths through it. The menu reaches beyond 회. Reports mention 숙성회, 한치 막회, shellfish such as scallops and abalone, 육사시미, chilled boiled pork, grilled fish, and seafood or spicy noodles. That breadth makes the place worth considering for a table with different appetites, though the signature draw remains the fish-and-roe wrap. The room has its own character. One level is described as ship-like, with long windows and subdued lighting; the upper floor has a more open, outdoor-pub feel. Together, those details give the restaurant a casual drinking-house mood suited to a date or an evening with friends, rather than a formal seafood meal. The exact seating experience may depend on which floor you land on. There are small rituals before the main event: visitors describe receiving a sweet, creamy ma drink before alcohol, and a piece of 빠다코코넛 that riffs on the restaurant’s name. Drinks are chosen from a refrigerator, with a range of soju and other options, and diners can pick their own soju glasses. It’s an easygoing setup that makes ordering part of the outing. Come for the shareable 막회, then mix and match each bite instead of treating it as a single fixed dish. Between the two-floor layout, self-serve drink selection, and lively assortment of seafood and cooked plates, 바다코코넛 feels built for lingering over food and conversation.
