About
Tuna sashimi specialty restaurant in Suyu featuring bar seating and private rooms, known for generous course sets and budget-friendly lunch specials.
Along Dobong-ro in Gangbuk, a large tuna illustration marks the entrance to Eodo Tuna, a neighborhood raw-fish haven catering equally to solo diners and evening gatherings. Inside, the space balances a spacious central wooden counter, where guests watch the chef slice fish from the open kitchen, with private partitioned dining rooms and low floor seating for extended group meals. While the restaurant is known for its refillable tuna sashimi courses, midday brings a steady stream of lunchgoers drawn to value-forward sets. The budget-friendly twelve-piece mixed sushi plate features generously draped cuts paired with tuna salad, warm miso soup, and crisp pickled vegetables. Those settling into the counter for the daytime tuna *jeongsik* receive a steady progression of twelve or more sashimi slices—spanning bigeye cheek and belly, swordfish belly, and ruby-red bluefin akami—flanked by comforting bowls of warm pumpkin or savory porridge and washed aged kimchi (*mukeunji*). The full sashimi courses transition through a colorful parade of traditional *banchan* and *tsukidashi* side dishes. Before the main cuts arrive, the counter fills with sizzling platters of sweet corn cheese, soft steamed egg custard (*gyeranjjim*), thick-cut torched sushi brushed with savory sauces, and deep-fried shrimp. Thicker slabs of tuna simmered in a sweet soy reduction offer a rich, braised counterpoint to the raw fish. The centerpiece platters feature precisely tempered cuts—neither icy nor limp—often crowned with edible gold flakes and garnished alongside sliced perilla leaves and fresh radish sprouts. Meals wind down with miniature sizzling bowls of fish-roe rice (*albab*), crisp nori packets, and comforting noodle soups. Warm, attentive floor staff keep water glasses and side dishes replenished, lending this unpretentious Suyu joint the welcoming demeanor of a neighborhood staple.
