Haneul Sushi near Edae Station: 32-Piece Yoksimjaengi Review

I visited Haneul Sushi (하늘초밥), a sushi restaurant near Edae Station in the Sinchon area! I'd heard great things about this place near Ewha Womans University, so I headed over as soon as someone recommended it.

Getting there Haneul Sushi is close to Ewha Womans University Station, commonly called Edae Station. Exit 3 is the closest exit, and it's an easy walk from the station. You can also walk there from Ewha Womans University in under 10 minutes. Opening hours 11:30–22:00 Break: 14:00–17:00 Last order: 21:00 Closed every Monday Parking The restaurant doesn't have parking. My budget-parking recommendation around Sinchon and Edae Station is the Irum Tower parking garage (이룸타워). The reported rate is KRW 1,000 for the first 30 minutes, then KRW 800 for every additional 10 minutes—a relatively affordable option in my view.

The restaurant was full, so I couldn't take any interior photos. Seating includes a bar, tables for two and tables for four. I noticed a few people eating alone at the bar, along with families, students and diners having drinks. One side of the restaurant was also packed with cooking manga lined up on shelves!

What we ordered Yoksimjaengi Karaage

We ordered Haneul Sushi's signature Yoksimjaengi (욕심쟁이), plus some karaage to share. The Yoksimjaengi was KRW 59,000. Think of it as a platter for two, but a generous one! If you add other side dishes, I'd say it could serve around two to three people. Keep the portion size in mind when ordering.

I'd understood that porridge was usually served, but on my visit we received a salad with Oriental-style dressing instead. Since the sushi was so filling, I actually preferred the salad. The wet-wipe packaging was adorable, too—almost too cute to open!

I went in with high expectations and left completely happy. For me, this was the best sushi I've had, and I'll definitely be back when the craving hits again! The karaage was wonderfully crisp on the outside and juicy inside. The sauce was delicious, too.

Our platter had 32 pieces in total—16 each when shared between two people. That's a substantial amount of sushi! Apparently, the selection changes a little each time. I liked the assortment we received, though I was a little disappointed that there was no uni, or sea urchin, on this visit. Even so, I was very satisfied.

If I had to choose a favorite piece, it would be the shrimp sushi. It had three layers of shrimp, and it was fantastic! If you love sushi and haven't tried Haneul Sushi yet, I'd definitely recommend a visit. I also noticed draft beer on offer. A glass alongside the sushi sounds like a wonderful combination.
