Songpa Jamsilsaenae Station Restaurant Ulla Ra Hoetjip: Great Value and Generous Side Dishes

One day when I was really craving salmon, I started wondering if there was somewhere I could enjoy it well, and that’s when I discovered Songpa Jamsilsaenae Station restaurant Ulla Ra Hoetjip. Of course the sashimi is delicious, but the prices and even the side dishes are generous too, so it was already widely known as a Jamsilsaenae Station favorite. In that sense, it seems similar to our clinic, Aihoa. We also have many people who visit us through recommendations and word of mouth.

That turned into a sudden self-praise moment for our clinic.

I visited Ulla Ra Hoetjip because I wanted salmon, but looking at the variety on the menu made me want to try not just salmon, but other dishes as well.

Just looking at the prices on Ulla Ra Hoetjip’s menu may not make it obvious whether it’s cheap or good value, but once you see the food, you’ll understand why.

After ordering, the side dishes came out, and I was surprised.

These days, it’s hard to find such a variety of side dishes at a sashimi restaurant. It had been so long since I’d seen such a generous spread that, even before the main dish arrived, I had already saved Jamsilsaenae Station’s Ulla Ra Hoetjip in my mind as a great value restaurant.

Next came the small assorted sashimi I ordered.

The small assorted sashimi at Songpa Jamsilsaenae Station’s Ulla Ra Hoetjip is 50,000 won.

At 50,000 won, can it really come out this abundant and varied?!

I was deciding whether to order the set with flatfish and salmon, or rockfish and salmon, but I still wanted to taste a variety of sashimi, so I ordered the assorted sashimi instead, and I think it was a good choice.

First of all, I liked that it was aged sashimi. Since Seoul is not close to the source, I feel aged sashimi tastes better to me. And it’s chewier too.

The thickness of the sashimi made the texture when chewing excellent as well. I could see why people call it a sashimi restaurant with great value.

Since just eating sashimi felt a little lacking, I ordered the sea cucumber and sea squirt set. The sea cucumber and sea squirt set is 35,000 won.

I liked the sharp, briny flavor of the sea squirt. And sea cucumber is nice for something light.

Of course, sea squirt and sea cucumber can be divisive, but since they come as a set, it’s nice that you can eat what you like, and they seem good as a light snack and also as a side dish for drinks.

It felt a little disappointing to leave after only eating the assorted sashimi, sea squirt, and sea cucumber, so I added the spicy stew and a bowl of rice for dessert.

The after-meal spicy stew is 9,000 won, and a bowl of rice is 1,000 won.

I thought the after-meal spicy stew would be a small portion, but it was no different from a regular spicy stew.

After letting it bubble and boil, I could taste the rich flavor of the spicy stew. As expected, eating spicy stew with rice makes it feel like you’ve had a satisfying meal.

Songpa Jamsilsaenae Station restaurant Ulla Ra Hoetjip.

It’s a place where I couldn’t help but fall in love, with great value and such generous side dishes.

Of course, not only freshness but also taste has to be there from the start before you can even talk about value.
