About
Cozy Japanese-style pub near Taereung station serving warm sukiyaki, clams, and draft beer in an intimate counter and table setting.
Tucked just a short walk from Exit 6 of Taereung Station, Hatten operates with the cozy charm of an intimate neighborhood hideaway. The compact interior splits cleanly between a row of counter seats running along the left and three four-person tables on the right, filled with understated Japanese tavern accents. It functions effortlessly as an approachable hideout suited for solo drinks after work, casual neighborhood meetups, or late-night dates. The kitchen leans into classic Japanese drinking snacks executed with thoughtful balance. A standout choice is the *bajirak butter suljjim* (clam steamed in sake and butter), featuring a broth so balanced and restrained in its richness that guests regularly order an addition of pasta noodles to drink up every drop. Another crowd-pleaser is the miso-glazed pork jowl (*miso hangjeongsal gui*), grilled tender and deeply savory. For something heartier, the house serves a generous Kanto-style beef brisket sukiyaki loaded with meat and vegetables, as well as sizzling plates of beef brisket stir-fried with bean sprouts alongside pickled ginger and wasabi. Lighter bites hold their own, ranging from sesame-slicked perilla oil soba (*banggatgan deulgireum soba*) tossed with seasoned seaweed flakes (*kimjaban*) to chicken neck meat seared on an iron plate with shishito peppers. Standard table starters typically arrive with boiled edamame, macaroni salad, and pickled radish. Hatten requires drinks with every food order, and the beverage program covers everything from refreshing lemon sours to cold sake and soju. Beer drinkers take note: the draft Cass pours beneath a dense, velvety layer of head. Note that seating is cozy, with smaller parties typically steered to the counter, and a two-hour dining limit applies when a waitlist forms. It is closed on Sundays.
