About
Mildly sweet braised pollock with chewy rice cakes, rice and gim in a clean, spacious dining room.
The braised pollock is the reason to start at Eunseong Kodari. Kodari jjim (코다리조림) arrives in a mildly sweet, savory sauce, with chewy garaetteok on top. It is not particularly spicy and reviewers say it has no fishy smell. Eat it with rice and gim, the crisp roasted seaweed that gives the soft fish and sauce a salty edge. The side dishes are described as neat and tasty, rounding out a meal that feels closer to home cooking than to a fiery fish stew. The braised pollock comes in small, medium and large portions; the small is ₩34,000. For lunch, the kodari set is ₩17,000 per person and requires at least two orders. The lunch specials are listed for weekdays from noon to 3pm. Grilled mackerel is another option: the set is praised as home-style, and costs ₩16,000 per person, also for two or more. There is mushroom hot pot for a group, while seasonal menus include kodari naengmyeon and Hamheung-style cold noodles. If this is your first visit, ask the staff for help choosing; the menu has several set and portion options. The room is reported as clean, spacious and uncluttered, and the restaurant draws families, friends and weekday lunch groups. It is open daily from 10am to 9pm. Parking is limited, so plan to use a nearby lot rather than count on finding a space outside. Some visitors find the staff unfriendly, so service may not be the warmest part of the meal. Come for a shared fish-and-rice lunch or a group dinner, especially if you prefer gentle, savory flavors to heat; for a solo lunch, check the set’s two-person minimum before you go.
