About

Japanese-style Magok izakaya for sashimi, skewers and sukiyaki, with private rooms and group tables.

Red lanterns and cherry-blossom decor set the scene at Chun Magok Branch, an izakaya with an open kitchen, private rooms and tables for larger groups. The room looks neat and Japanese-inspired, but it is not especially quiet: sound carries between tables, which matters if you are trying to talk over a work dinner or a first date. The house-recommended choices are the assorted sashimi (모둠사시미, ₩39,000) and sukiyaki (스끼야끼, ₩28,000). The sashimi gets praise for freshness and value, though reports are mixed; one diner found it cold, dry and fishy. For a more dependable-sounding order, the six-piece skewer assortment (수제 꼬치6종모둠, ₩18,900) has been singled out as a favorite. Mackerel bo-chobap (고등어 봉초밥, ₩22,000) is another standout in reviews: thick-cut, with a soft, almost melting texture and little fishiness. The sukiyaki’s savory broth works well with drinks, and you can add udon. Mochiri tofu (모찌리도후, ₩7,000) is springy rather than firm, a good small dish to finish with. This is an evening place, open Monday through Saturday from 5pm to 1am and closed Sunday. You can book through Naver; one blog reports that bookings before 7pm come with a free bottle of beer or soju. The building has basement parking, reported as free for up to two hours, then ₩1,500 per 30 minutes. Takeout is available. Order at the table and expect food cooked to order from the open kitchen. It suits groups of friends, colleagues and couples who want dinner with drinks and room for a longer evening. The private rooms help with gatherings, but do not guarantee quiet: the space is reported to have poor sound insulation, and the on-site smoking room can leave a noticeable smell. If sashimi is the main reason for your visit, keep the mixed reports on fish quality in mind.
