[Sudong Sanghoe] A Solid Pick at Garak Market Sashimi Center—Live Sashimi with Impressively Tasty Side Dishes

This episode features a sashimi restaurant located inside the Garak Market Sashimi Center.

The restaurant introduced in the video is “Sudong Sanghoe.” Since Garak Market’s sashimi center is packed with seafood spots, you can usually enjoy fresh fish almost anywhere you go—so even if you don’t visit the exact place from the video, you’ll likely still have a great meal. This spot also offers delivery, which can be convenient if you live nearby.

One thing to note: orders start from two servings, so even if you visit alone, you’ll need to order at least for two people.If two people order 80,000 KRW or more, you’ll receive a set of complimentary side dishes such as live octopus, boiled octopus, fried shrimp, mini sweet-and-spicy crab bites, sea squirt, abalone porridge, braised radish, aged kimchi, fresh wasabi, various sauces, spicy fish stew, and kimchi. The lineup is diverse, but what really stands out is how clean and genuinely tasty the banchan are overall. The sweet-and-spicy fried crab bites, with a vibe similar to kanpunggi, are especially memorable and a bit unique.

In the video, the sashimi focused on white-fleshed fish like red seabream, sea bass, and flounder. A nice touch is that the platter comes with name labels for each fish, so even beginners can tell what they’re eating and compare them as they go.

Another point: unlike aged sashimi or “pre-killed” sashimi you might find at sushi restaurants, this place serves live-fish sashimi. Live sashimi tends to have a chewier, springier texture, but can be a bit less soft and less umami-rich—so while soy sauce is fine, many people say it can pair even better with cho-gochujang (spicy-sweet vinegar sauce).

Beyond the fish shown in the video, you can enjoy many other varieties here as well. With strong side-dish quality, lots of regulars, and solid Google reviews, it’s clearly a trusted spot. Reviews also mention that the owner is friendly.

If you want to enjoy fresh sashimi at Garak Market with side dishes that are truly satisfying, consider visiting Sudong Sanghoe!
