About
Seafood spot in Byeollae known for value-packed lobster courses paired with soy-marinated or seasoned shrimp in private dining rooms.
Tucked into a quiet dining enclave in Byeollae, Baek Ganjang Saewoo is an izakaya-style seafood specialist built around an undeniable centerpiece: the multi-course lobster feast. The storefront greets guests with pristine, brightly lit water tanks packed with active shellfish, hinting at the high-turnover freshness within. Inside, a faux cherry blossom tree anchors the dining floor, framed by spacious tables fitted with tabletops kiosks, as well as enclosed sliding-door rooms favored by gathering families and local diners seeking privacy. The signature draw is the multi-course lobster set, an extensive spread that begins with marinated shrimp. Guests can opt for chili-seasoned prawns or the restaurant’s namesake *ganjang saewoo*, cured in a proprietary soy marinade that leans sweet, deeply savory, and mild enough to spoon clean over steamed rice. What follows is raw lobster tail sashimi, carved and served translucent alongside seasonal white-flesh fish, glistening scallops accented with sesame oil and minced peppers, and sea squirt. The raw lobster flesh is sweet and taut, offering a brisk snap that stands in stark contrast to the steamed second act. After the raw courses, the lobster heads and claws return blanketed in melted mozzarella and garlic butter, paired with savory fried rice. Those dining with children or craving a hot, salty staple often add the *yeolgi-gui* (salted grilled rockfish), which arrives tender and flaky from the grill. To cut through the richness of the cheese-baked shell, the final course brings a piping-hot pot of lobster ramyeon, using the residual carapace to brew an oceanic broth spiked with fiery scallions and broth seasoning. Rounded out by dedicated parking directly out front, this neighborhood fixture delivers an unstuffy seafood feast where cold draft beer and crustaceans do all the heavy lifting.
