About

A long-running neighborhood sashimi restaurant tucked into an alley near Chung-Ang University, serving lunch favorites such as spicy pollock-roe soup alongside seafood dinners.

In Dongjak’s Heukseok-dong, 만선회수산 is the kind of neighborhood seafood restaurant that rewards knowing which door to look for: it sits down a side street near Chung-Ang University, in a building whose age shows. Inside, the mood is practical and lived-in rather than polished, with a dining hall and rooms—some traditional floor seating, others described by diners as having tables. It feels suited to an unhurried meal with classmates, colleagues, or family, not a sleek night out. At lunchtime, regulars seem to have a clear favorite: al-tang, a bubbling pot of spicy pollock roe stew. One account describes a generous serving of tender, springy roe with vegetables and tofu; the broth is warming and savory, with a clean, brisk heat rather than an aggressively sharp burn. Seok-eo-tang, combining pollock and roe, is another popular choice, while daegu-tang and the clearer daegu-jiri offer ways to follow the fish without the roe. Rice and a few simple banchan complete the meal. The sides vary somewhat by visit, and one diner notes that hoe-deopbap is not always available, so it may be worth checking before setting your heart on it. The restaurant’s 회 side is just as central to its identity. A visitor who ordered large flounder for four praised its plentiful portion and fresh, firm, chewy texture, especially dipped in makjang. A small spread of vegetables, steamed egg, corn, and braised fish came first; afterward, an order of maeuntang made for a natural, warming finish. These details suggest a place where a table can shift easily from a hearty lunch to a longer seafood-and-drinks gathering. The appeal here is not elaborate presentation but the straightforward pleasure of hot stew, substantial fish, and a familiar local room. Diners report that it can be busy, particularly around lunch, and recommend calling ahead for a room or a smoother visit. Expect a modest, old-fashioned setting—and come ready to choose between a steaming bowl of roe stew and a platter of fresh sashimi.
