Our Visit
Today I visited Haecheonobu located just a 1-minute walk from Exit 4 of Jongno 3-ga Station. It is a popular lobster specialty restaurant in Korea, which has appeared in various gourmet programs several times.
The atmosphere is great and it's a perfect place for gatherings or meetings.
English menus are also prepared for foreign guests! You can see the menu and ingredients at a glance so that even foreign customers can easily place orders without difficulty.
Today I ordered the 'Hot and Spicy Lobster Mukbang Set' and the 'Dancing Lobster Course for 1.' The set includes butter grilled abalone, shrimp salad, seaweed roll, shrimp tempura, and pumpkin tempura.
The lobster looks so fresh and alive, as if it could move right now.
Dragon King Special Course
This luxurious course features lobster sashimi, Dokdo shrimp, tuna, goose barnacles, sea cucumber, and more. Named after blessings of abundance—萬福 (Manbok) for endless prosperity, 長樂 (Jangnak) for lasting joy and peace, and 金運 (Geumun) for golden fortune—this feast is a gift from the sea, filled with the Dragon King's good fortune. Highly recommended for special celebrations.
* Hot and Spicy Lobster Mukbang Set
Truffle Lobster Butter Grill and Lobster Tang noodles are included in the 'Hot and Spicy Lobster Mukbang Set'. Hot and Spicy Lobster Mukbang Set is especially recommended for those who cannot eat raw fish.
* Dancing Lobster Course
'Dancing Lobster Course' is a menu that looks like a lobster cheering. In this course, the head of the lobster is taken back after being initially served and cooked on a butter grill, while the tail is served as fresh lobster sashimi. It also includes a variety of seafood such as octopus salad, sea squirt, sea urchin roe, octopus, raw beef, sea cucumber, and sea pineapple.
So many delicious foods to choose from, it's a happy dilemma of what to eat first!
First, I tried a fresh lobster sashimi. Just looking at the lobster sashimi makes you feel the tangy texture, and it is sprinkled with gold powder, giving it a luxurious feel. As soon as you take a bite, you'll feel the taste with a chewy texture and fresh sweetness.
Next, we tried tuna sashimi, goose barnacles, sea cucumber, and Dokdo shrimp. These are considered premium delicacies even in Korea, and it was great to enjoy such a variety alongside the lobster. Each seafood item had its own rich flavor and was truly delicious.
If you set aside the heads of the Dokdo shrimp, they'll fry them for you like this.
I also tried the grilled abalone with butter and seaweed roll that were served as the basic appetizer menu. A combination of clean and chewy abalone meets butter for a deeper flavor, and even deeper taste is added by topping rice fried with lobster innards with kelp and wasabi to create kelp makki, a combination that cannot be tasteless.
Lobster jjim is a menu that consists of lobster meat stuffed with butter-seasoned vegetables and lobster innards.
Lobster and pasta noodles stir-fried together with lobster innards, making it a very hearty lobster stew. Lobster and pasta can be so well combined, I didn't know that, more depth flavor than regular pasta.
Doesn't the large and thick lobster meat look like it's going to come out of the screen? Delicious lobster meat, boasting a firm and chewy texture, allows you to experience the flavor of butter along with it.
This way, when you put the lobster next to it, you can better appreciate its size. Delicious and hearty lobster, it feels like having a satisfying meal!
This time, I tried dipping lobster meat in sweet chili sauce and cheese fondue. A lobster infused with the sweetness of sweet chili sauce and a hint of spiciness, along with the richness of butter, creates a mouthful of flavor. Soft and creamy cheese fondue meets tender and juicy lobster, creating a fantastic flavor that melts in your mouth.
Finally, I finished my meal by eating ramen with a whole lobster. You can choose between lobster ramen and tangmyeon with white broth. Even if you choose ramen, you can adjust the spiciness, so you don't have to worry if you don't eat spicy food well.
After the meal, grilled pineapple was served as dessert! If you want to enjoy a unique course dish using lobster in a clean and sophisticated atmosphere, we highly recommend Haecheonobu!
