About
Neighborhood raw fish restaurant in Goyang-dong, known for lavish multi-course sashimi courses and private rooms.
Tucked along Dongheon-ro near Goyang Neighborhood Park, Uldolmok is the kind of neighborhood raw fish haven that locals guard jealously. Renovated to offer partitioned dining tables and private booking rooms, it balances the buzz of a spirited gathering spot with the comfort of an intimate family dinner. Rumors among regulars note it as a favorite haunt of trot singer Jin Sung, but the true draw is an extraordinarily generous spread that turns a seafood craving into a multi-course event. The kitchen sets the rhythm fast and unsparing. Meals typically open with soothing abalone porridge flecked with tender bites of abalone, nutty black sesame salad, and a clear, briny clam broth to warm the palate. What follows is a parade of *tsukidashi* side dishes that quickly crowds the table: sizzling corn cheese, savory pancakes, grilled saury, and crisp battered bites of sweet potato, shrimp, and perilla leaf alongside sweet-and-sour eggplant. Fresh seafood takes center stage next. Sliced sea cucumbers, vivid orange sea squirts (*meongge*), tender whole scallops, and wriggling live octopus dressed in fragrant toasted sesame oil lead into the main platters. The seasonal raw fish course arrives thick-cut and pristine, featuring rotating varieties alongside glossy cuts of tuna. For those opting for the full Special Set, the progression does not taper off; portions of sushi, glazed unagi, and steamed ray arrive before hand-rolled *maki* and a deep, simmering pot of spicy *maeuntang* close out the meal. Solo diners frequently drop in for hefty bowls of chilled raw fish soup (*mulhoe*), but Uldolmok shines brightest when a group sits down to feast. With gracious, long-tenured floor staff attending to each course, it delivers the expansive abundance of a coastal fish market right in Goyang-dong.
