I visited Haehwaro (해화로) in Bangi-dong, Seoul on 5 October 2026 and paid for the meal myself. I ordered assorted sashimi, grilled shrimp, sea squirt and sea cucumber; the menu-item prices recorded on this visit were ₩37,000, ₩42,000, ₩18,000 and ₩18,000. The freshness and the friendly service stood out to me. The banner at the entrance reads 해화로 수산시장 the 야장포차; it has no connection to my own restaurant, Haehwaok.

Try every kind of seafood they have.
The moment I remember
In my video, the shrimp sit under a glass lid in a pan over a gas flame and I lift the lid at the table; then a stone slab of sliced white fish with lemon, a long plate of sea squirt and a bowl of sea cucumber on ice. The banner at the door mentions a second-floor yajang (open-air-style seating) and a private room — that's the restaurant's own sign.
On the day (only on this blog)
In my video the shrimp arrive under a glass lid in a pan over a gas burner and I lift the lid at the table; the sliced fish comes on a stone slab with lemon, then sea squirt and a bowl of sea cucumber on ice.

Before you go: questions visitors ask
Is this the same place as Haehwaok?
No. Haehwaok is the editor's own 24-hour hot pot restaurant in Sinnonhyeon. Haehwaro is a different seafood pub in Bangi-dong that he visited and paid for himself.
