Gunpo Hon Tuna Review: All-You-Can-Eat Special Course

I visited Hon Tuna, an all-you-can-eat tuna restaurant in Gunpo. The post describes a wide variety of dishes, a very kind owner and an enjoyable meal.

The restaurant is close to Dangjeong Station. Hours are 17:00-23:00, Saturday 16:00-23:00 and Sunday closed.

The parking lot was wide with many spaces, making it convenient to arrive by car. At the underground parking entrance, there was no license-plate reader, only a barrier. I was told to call the restaurant and the owner will open it. After parking, go up to the second floor and turn right.

Inside, there were about four to five private rooms. Unless visitors specifically want counter seats, I suggest rooms are more comfortable because so much food comes out.

Counter seats and window seats were also available, which looked suitable for solo drinking or a simpler meal.

Order for the visit: special course for two people.

I chose the special course to eat well. The owner set things up in advance and then guided the group to a room.

The meal began with black sesame porridge and soup. I liked having porridge before raw fish because it settles the stomach. Seasoned sashimi, simmered fish, octopus, shrimp and more came out as part of the spread.

The seasoned sashimi was fresh and tasty. Sushi was served two pieces per person, and the freshness was clear enough that I said it melted away.

The first tuna platter arrived with the owner personally explaining the cuts and how to eat them for the best flavor.

Two accompaniments stood out: shiitake wasabi paste and salt that had been aged for seven years after removing brine. I felt the salt noticeably intensified the tuna flavor. When the tuna began to feel rich, the shiitake wasabi paste with radish sprouts cut through the heaviness.

I kept eating the tuna in different ways: wrapped in seaweed, dipped lightly in salt, and topped with wasabi and shiitake paste. The variety made it easy to keep eating without getting tired.

As the first plate was nearly finished, a second plate of special cuts arrived. I could tell from the look that these were premium pieces. A crunchy-textured cut was especially nutty and good. The owner said to ask if more was needed, but I was already very full.

Throughout the meal, additional dishes such as corn, gonit-tripe soup, egg custard and grilled ginkgo nuts kept arriving. I regretted not being able to drink because they had brought a car and wants to return with alcohol next time. The egg custard was especially soft and tasty.

I finished by highlighting two favorite pieces and called Hon Tuna a top choice among Gunpo all-you-can-eat tuna restaurants. They also appreciated the kindness of both the owner and staff. Disclosure: the post says I received service through Dangoljip Reyong Blog and wrote an honest review after direct experience.
