About
Cozy room-style izakaya near Yangjae Station featuring curtain-divided booths, fresh sashimi platters, and hearty nabemono hot pots.
Perched on the second floor of a commercial building just off Nambusunhwan-ro in Seocho, Sikgam Iyagi Yangjae Station provides a welcome buffer from the bustle of the district. The izakaya operates around a semi-private room concept: rather than fully sealed chambers, booths are cordoned off with black curtains and dividers. The layout buffers the chatter of adjacent tables without stripping away ambient bar hum, creating an easy, tucked-away environment well-suited for after-work gatherings, dates, or relaxed dinner parties. Tables feature built-in bench seating, pre-set dishware, and tablet ordering systems, allowing guests to pace their meals uninterrupted. After snacking on a starter bowl of crispy shrimp chips, the menu branches into an extensive lineup spanning raw fish, simmered pots, and fried fare. A cornerstone order is the sashimi moriawase, presenting a clean, varied arrangement of fresh cuts with pristine texture and zero fishiness. Those craving warmth gravitate toward the bubbling pots, particularly the myeongran motsunabe—a savory, satisfying broth loaded generously with seasoned pollock roe and rich offal meat. For a more substantial bite, the futomaki delivers thick rolls packed tightly with sashimi and fried fillings, while alternative choices range from arong-satae suji nabe (beef shank and tendon stew) to mero-gui (grilled toothfish) and spicy chicken neck. The bar stocks a balanced roster of sake, highballs, and soju to pair with the diverse plates. Because the kitchen serves a multifaceted izakaya menu within partitioned booths, it avoids the clamor common in open-floor drinking spots. Keep in mind that the kitchen takes its last order promptly at 9:40 PM, making this a venue best suited for an unhurried, focused first round of food and conversation.
