Seafoodui Sin Review: Best Raw Fish Near Dujeong Station, Cheonan, South Korea

A little while ago,
I couldn’t stop thinking about
fresh seafood.

So around the Cheonan and Asan area,
I started asking around for a seafood spot that was both fresh and trustworthy.
Then I suddenly remembered a sashimi restaurant in Dujeong-dong
that a friend who used to live there
had praised nonstop.

He told me,
“The owner brings in sashimi-grade fish
directly from the source every single day,
so the freshness is on a completely different level.”
That was all I needed to hear, so I went without a second thought.

And honestly, I came back blown away by
the generous portions and incredible quality,
so here’s my honest review of Seafoodui Sin.

Seafoodui Sin near Dujeong Station: first impressions and why it felt trustworthy

One of the first things I noticed
as soon as I arrived at this Dujeong Station seafood restaurant
was the spotless tanks and clean dining room.

Compared with your average neighborhood sashimi place,
the condition of the tanks right at the entrance
and the freshness of the seafood felt like a whole different tier.

What impressed me most at first
was the clean, open-style
kitchen.

You can actually watch them prepare
the fresh seafood and sashimi right in front of you,
which made the whole place feel
especially hygienic and reliable.

On top of that, they never use imported seafood,
and the owner personally brings in
the freshest catch direct from the source every day,
so my expectations were already sky-high before the meal even started.

Freshness in every bite: wild assorted sashimi review

That day, we ordered
their signature wild assorted sashimi.

1. Wild assorted sashimi with impressive portions and quality

The second the table was set,
I was genuinely shocked by how much food there was.

Since they only serve 100% Korean seafood and 99% wild-caught fish,
I was a little worried it might be pricey or come in small portions,
but the value for money was excellent,
and the thick-cut slices of sashimi
absolutely covered the platter.

Depending on the season, they serve
more than 20 different types of fish,
which makes this the kind of place you’d want to revisit throughout the year.

What I loved most was how the platter came out
in a colorful, abundant spread that almost felt like a Japanese omakase course,
and every bite had
that perfect chewy texture and deep umami.

The price may be reasonable,
but the freshness and overall quality of the food
are anything but cheap—you understand that instantly.

2. Whole steamed squid, rich and unbelievably good

I’d heard this place was also famous in Dujeong-dong
for live squid and squid sashimi,
and after trying the whole steamed squid, I completely understood why.

They steam a just-caught fresh squid whole,
and the rich, creamy savoriness of the innards
paired with the bouncy texture of the squid itself was outstanding.
Best of all, it was clean-tasting with no fishy smell at all,
and the more I chewed,
the more natural sweetness came through—perfect with drinks or as a meal on its own.

A deep, old-school gochujang sauce that makes the meal even more special

Another standout at this Dujeong-dong restaurant
was hidden in the rice dishes.

A lot of sashimi restaurants these days
use bottled chojang for hoe-deopbap or mulhoe,
but here, the hoe-deopbap comes
with a deeper, richer gochujang sauce
that feels more like bibimbap sauce than standard sweet vinegar chili sauce.

The mulhoe also wasn’t overly sweet,
and that savory depth from the gochujang
kept the flavor clean while still letting
the true taste of the raw fish shine through.

It had that serious, old-school flavor
that’s honestly hard to find these days,
and the whole time I was eating,
I kept thinking, “Next time I need to bring my family here.”

Looking around the dining room,
I noticed quite a few middle-aged regulars
enjoying their meals,
which felt like proof that this place has real depth and consistency.

A great Dujeong-dong group dining spot with parking and convenience

The food was excellent,
but the convenience factor was just as impressive.
Parking in Dujeong-dong can be a hassle, but this place has parking,
and the restrooms are inside the restaurant, separated by gender,
and kept very clean,
which makes it especially comfortable for women or office dinner groups.

With its roomy layout,
I’d say it’s also one of the best options for anyone looking for a Dujeong-dong group dining spot.

Final thoughts and summary

I came here on a sudden craving for fresh seafood,
and thanks to my friend’s recommendation, I found a sashimi place I’d gladly come back to again and again.

No imported seafood—just 100% Korean, mostly wild-caught fish,
served at a surprisingly affordable price
without compromising on quality.

With 20-plus seasonal fish varieties,
friendly service, and a spotless open kitchen,
everything about the experience felt satisfying.

If you want to taste the real depth of seafood
in Cheonan, South Korea,
I highly recommend making a stop here.
