Haecheon Eobu is an Instagram-famous lobster specialist in Ikseon-dong. As you know, at a place built around fresh ingredients you only get to eat the good stuff if the tables turn over fast. There is a reason people go out of their way to the places with a line..

A place like this

It looks small, but there are private rooms inside.

Salad

I took the photo after we had already started eating.. Anyway, even the serving vessel is something else..

Shrimp tempura

Grilled abalone

The sake cup

You get the feeling they are quietly playing to Instagram..

And finally, the lobster

Oh.. this is something. The lobster is cut in half and still moving, which is a bit gruesome. It is even more gruesome on video..

Lobster sashimi

The meat is sweet..

Sea urchin, spoon worm, sea cucumber, sea squirt

All of it fresh, and the spoon worm especially is delicious!

Yukhoe and long-arm octopus come out too.

Everything is fresh. At a seafood place doing this well, freshness must be a given.

Mulhoe, cold raw fish soup

Grilled lobster

Maybe because they caught a big one, the meat is really substantial. The size of the lobster seems to be decided by the size of the party, so I suspect you should come with at least three people.

Picked clean

I am not sure I have ever eaten lobster to my heart’s content like this before. I got to taste what lobster really tastes like.

Lobster ramyeon

We had already eaten our fill, but there was no skipping the ramyeon. The broth is clean and refreshing.

Dessert

Or so I thought, but it is not sweet at all, more like some sort of herbal medicine..

The kitchen

Who knew doing nothing but lobster could taste this good.. I was impressed.. Of course the prices are on the high side, so factor that in.. If at all possible it is probably best to come with the company card..
