About
A spacious Japanese-style restaurant in M State’s E-dong, known for hearty fish soups alongside sushi, sashimi rice bowls, and grilled fish.
At 석정, the sushi label is only the beginning. In Songpa’s Mstate building, this Japanese-style restaurant is also known for hearty bowls and fish dishes—food that makes it a practical choice when a table wants more than one kind of lunch. The room has private-style seating, and several visitors describe a busy midday scene, with queues around peak lunch hours. It feels geared to working-day meals and group gatherings, rather than a quiet, drawn-out sushi counter experience. The dish that inspires the strongest loyalty is al-tang: a generously portioned hot-pot of pollock roe and milt in a clear, peppery broth. One regular says its clean, brisk heat turned them into an al-tang fan; roe and milt dipped in wasabi soy sauce are part of the appeal. A separate visitor recalls the restaurant’s lunch sets arriving with a few pieces of sushi before the main course, including well-aged flounder nigiri. That small opening taste gives 석정 a link to its sushi-and-roll identity, even when the meal is centered on soup. There are other routes through the menu. The grilled mackerel has been described as a substantial whole fish, served with simple sides including soft tofu. In warmer weather, one account recommends the mulhoe: chilled, seasoned broth with raw fish, seaweed? No—the review specifically notes sea squirt, noodles and rice, and praises the broth for staying lively rather than watering down as the ice melts. The raw fish rice bowl also earned a favorable mention, though its oily fish could feel rich as the meal went on. Sushi is not equally praised in every account. One diner noticed a slight fishy smell in the sushi set, and was less taken with its accompanying cold buckwheat noodles. That contrast is useful: 석정’s clearest calling cards, from these visits, are its warming soups, grilled fish and seasonal cold bowl, with sushi as one option among a broader Japanese-style menu. Come at lunch expecting a lively room and consider timing your visit outside the rush. If you’re deciding what to order, the al-tang or grilled mackerel sounds like the surest place to start.
