다미
About
Long-running Yeouido grill house serving whole grilled fish, skewers, and Korean fish stews in an izakaya-style setting.
In Yeouido, 다미 moves easily between dinner spot and second-round drinking den. Its calling card is grilled fish: the menu has included mackerel, salmon, Spanish mackerel, hairtail and the prized-potential merou, alongside skewers and soups. A counter with fish on display gives the room a Japanese tavern feel, while the broader hall and simple vegetable-and-pickle nibbles suit an unhurried meal or a drink after work. For a reliable, warming order, try the fresh cod soup. One diner describes its broth as spicy, clean and soothing, with generous pieces of fish; another couldn’t resist the pollock-roe soup, ordering rice to go with it. These bowls make 다미 more than a place to graze over drinks. Grilled fish can be a less predictable bet: one visitor praised a whole mackerel for its crisp, browned surface, while another found the grilled Spanish mackerel dry and disappointing. That mixed report is worth bearing in mind if you’re choosing a centerpiece. There’s also a late-night, shareable side to the menu. A mixed skewer platter was reported with chicken, gizzard, scallion, mushrooms, scallop, ginkgo and eggplant—a spread of savory, chewy and sweet notes for passing around. Cucumber and carrot sticks, along with other modest banchan, set out a fresh crunch before the main dishes arrive. Those looking for a lighter second stop can make a meal of skewers and a drink; those coming hungry can add rice and soup. The mood, as described by visitors, is closer to a long-running neighborhood tavern than a polished destination restaurant: fish on view, familiar tables, and a steady association with Yeouido evenings. Go for the hot soup and a round of grilled or skewered dishes, and let the table decide whether the night is dinner or just one more stop.
