Wonjo Masan Kotteolne Agujjim
원조마산콧털네아구찜
About
Spicy monkfish stew with soft fish and seasoned sauce, served in a spacious room with booths and group rooms.
The best part of the agu jjim may come after the monkfish is gone: the sauce is already seasoned, and diners scoop it up with rice, sometimes adding cabbage. The main dish, agu jjim (아구찜), is monkfish steamed in a spicy sauce. Reports praise the fish for being soft and clean-tasting, with a rich, savory sauce. But portion size is a gamble: some diners say the large serving has too little fish and too many bones. It costs ₩45,000 for a small, ₩55,000 for a medium, or ₩65,000 for a large. Soy-marinated crab (간장게장) is the other dish people talk about, with fans saying it makes rice disappear quickly. Opinions are divided: one diner found the crab small and the sauce salty. It costs ₩35,000 per serving. For something brothy, the monkfish soup (아구탕) and braised hairtail (갈치조림) are described as spicy but refreshing; the catalog lists each from ₩45,000 for a small serving of monkfish soup and ₩40,000 for medium hairtail. The room is spacious and clean, with booths and private rooms that suit families, groups of colleagues, or a late meal with friends. The restaurant is listed as open 24 hours. Book ahead if you need a private room or a six-seat table; groups can make reservations. Parking is available, with valet parking reported at about ₩3,000. The menu is in Korean, and an English menu is not confirmed, so have the Korean dish name ready. This is a practical pick for a group that wants a substantial seafood stew and does not mind sharing. Go for the seasoned sauce and the soft monkfish, but temper expectations about how much fish comes in the pot. If choosing the crab, be prepared for a salty-sauce possibility as well as the rice-friendly reputation.
