Deokjanghansang Mapogongdeokjeom
Deokjanghansang Mapogongdeokjeom is a Korean restaurant located in an alley in Dohwa-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, specializing in semi-dried fish grilled dishes air-shipped from Sokcho, as well as bossam and samhap, offering lunch set meals and table setups for company dinners and gatherings.
Highlights
- Only semi-dried fish air-shipped from Sokcho is used, so the size and thickness of the flesh are exceptional, with little fishiness and a moist, savory flavor.
- Located quietly inside an alley, it is easy to converse, and with a basement group space and floor-by-floor use, it is also suitable as a venue for company dinners and gatherings.
- Not only the main dishes but also each side dish is neat, home-style and not overly stimulating, allowing a pleasant meal to the end.
- The composition is convenient, continuing in one place from lunch specials (spicy stir-fried pork set meal, grilled fish set meal) to evening snacks (dried pollack, seasoned pollack sashimi salad, seafood scallion pancake, chewy noodles and soup).

Compared to nearby places
- Bakmanbaearirangbossam Gongdeokjeom
Here: Half-dried grilled fish comes in the same table as bossam, so the table composition differs from bossam restaurants that only serve meat
Bakmanbaearirangbossam Gongdeokjeom: There is no specialization point like using only gabrisal for bossam meat - Masilmyeonga ( Dohwa-dong )
Here: Half-dried fish is a menu not available at Masilmyeonga, so it is advantageous for 'a day when you want fish but also crave bossam'
Masilmyeonga ( Dohwa-dong ): Compared to Masilmyeonga, which is known mainly for solo lunches and office worker lunches, the feeling of 'a light meal easy to go alone' is weaker - Orotsilbi / Oronnobata ( Gongdeok Ijakaya )
Here: Although it lacks awards like six consecutive Blue Ribbons, the Korean combination of half-dried grilled fish and jar-pickled bossam cannot be tasted at an izakaya
Orotsilbi / Oronnobata ( Gongdeok Ijakaya ): The izakaya side has a much more diverse lineup of refined Japanese snacks, sake, and highballs for dates and blind dates
Good to know
- Closed on Sundays, so weekend family gatherings are only possible up to Saturday
- No parking, so if you bring a car, you need to use a nearby public parking lot
