About
Spacious Jeolla-style tavern near Sinjungdong Station serving seasonal seafood platters and skate or cuttlefish samhap combos.
Just an eight-minute walk from Sinjungdong Station, Namdo Sulsang Jungdong channels the coastal bounty of Goheung’s Geogeumdo Island directly into Bucheon. Inside, a mural of a southern fishing harbor anchors a spacious dining room outfitted with wide tables, broad spacing, and large windows that open out toward an outdoor patio in warmer months. It operates as a lively seafood pub where office workers and locals gather over drinks and massive platters of Jeolla-do specialties. The table setting opens simply with dried anchovies dipped in red pepper paste, but the main platters quickly take over the surface. The signature here is samhap—the traditional three-part pairing—ordered in several variations. For purists, the skate samhap pairs moderately pungent fermented skate with tender boiled pork belly, sharply soured mugeunji (aged kimchi), fresh water parsley, and raw onion wedges on crisp napa cabbage leaves. The skate retains a distinct cartilaginous chew with a sharp, blossoming tang that even relative newcomers can navigate. Those bypassing skate gravitate toward the squid combinations, such as the cuttlefish samhap, which piles thick-cut, tender boiled pork alongside steamed octopus and resilient, chewy cuttlefish. The VIP Special spreads out an even larger maritime feast, heaping octopus, cuttlefish, pork slices, seasoned raw fish, and whole abalone around the fermented kimchi. Alongside the platters, the kitchen sends out seasonal coastal catches like croaker and butterfish, crisp water parsley pancakes, and thick cuttlefish pancakes studded generously with seafood. The punchy kimchi, salty dipping sauces, and occasional offerings of skate liver keep the soju flowing late into the evening, providing an unapologetic, sea-heavy escape without ever leaving Gyeonggi-do.
