Interviewed by HeySeorak
SeafoodModerateDaepo

A Daepo Port sashimi and crab house run by a chef who rebuilt the old playbook from scratch. The owner came into the trade in his thirties — late, by industry standards — and decided to throw out whatever didn't meet his standards: kitchen towels instead of reused fish cloths, fugu in every assorted sashimi platter year-round thanks to a blowfish-handling license, and prices held at industry-average or below because he'd rather run on a 30–40% margin than pad the bill. Most customers are regulars, most regulars come back with friends. The namesake Han-Seong-Ho sets — one letter of his name per course — are the house specialty.

Pro tip

Let the set do the work. 90% of what goes out the door is a set, and the Han-Seong-Ho trio (named after the owner's own name) is the best way to try the house's range — Han for red crab value, Seong for snow crab, Ho for pure sashimi. Every assorted sashimi order includes blowfish almost year-round, which is rare even in Korea. If you don't eat raw fish, ask for things cooked — the owner learned from a foreign guest years ago that dropping the seafood into the clam broth to cook it works perfectly, and he's happy to do it.
