🐟 Why Locals Love This Place

🍲 Signature Dishes You Can’t Miss

🔥 Gajami Jorim (Braised Flounder)

This is the signature dish here, and it’s unforgettable.

  • Flavor: spicy, rich, and perfectly balanced
  • Freshness: no fishy smell at all — the flounder is so fresh that even the broth is addictive
  • Tip: Mix the spicy broth with rice for the ultimate bite!

Another must-try dish.

  • Fresh raw Mi-juguri fish combined with crisp vegetables
  • Sweet, tangy, and refreshing flavor profile
  • Served with neatly prepared Korean side dishes

⏳ Waiting & Ordering System

This restaurant is always busy, but don’t worry — the turnover is quick.

  • Expect to wait 20–30 minutes, even with several groups ahead
  • Upon arrival: write your phone number and party size on the whiteboard at the entrance
  • Important: Decide your order while waiting — once seated, the staff asks right away

“Entrance of Suhyup Canteen — a hidden gem loved by locals and travelers alike in Ulsan.”

 

💰 Price & Portions

  • Gajami Jorim: ~₩14,000 ($10–11) per serving
  • Mi-juguri Salad: ~₩25,000 ($18–19) per plate

We visited as a group of four and initially ordered 4 servings of flounder + 1 salad. But the staff kindly advised that it would be too much and suggested a smaller portion — a sign of honesty and good service.
In the end, 2 servings of flounder + 1 salad + 2 bowls of rice were more than enough to satisfy all of us.

🌟 Why Suhyup Canteen Stands Out

  • Incredibly fresh seafood (operated inside a fishermen’s building)
  • Affordable, local pricing for premium quality dishes
  • Spacious parking & easy access for travelers
  • Loved by both locals and TV shows (featured on Korean programs, visited by celebrities)

🌊 A Local Flavor to Remember

If you’re visiting Ulsan, this place is more than just a restaurant — it’s a local dining experience.
With signature dishes like braised flounder (Gajami Jorim) and raw Mi-juguri salad, paired with a seaside view, Suhyup Canteen is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean seafood.
