About this spot
Big Guy's Seafood delivers massive portions of fresh catch that define the Mapo district's casual dining scene. Expect to share a steaming pot of spicy seafood stew or order whole grilled fish that arrives tableside, served with plenty of rice for soaking up the rich broth.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order extra rice immediately as it is essential for balancing the intense saltiness of the seafood stews.
- Ask your server to bring the soup bowl closer so you can easily dip your rice directly into the hot broth.
- Bring a coat or jacket because the air conditioning in Mapo seafood restaurants is notoriously cold.
