This seafood restaurant has been open for about 3 years now. The owner owns another place in Hannam Dong (어거리 – 5 point intersection) called 방울과꼬막, a pocha that has been open for 5 months. He has a sign hanging out front that also refers to it as Bubble & Cockles. The two locations are really opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of mood and atmosphere. Bubble & Cockles in Itaewon is “luxurious” (but not obnoxiously expensive) whereas the 방울과꼬막 pocha is your hole-in-the-wall neighborhood watering hole that serves up incredibly delicious seafood and fresh fish. The owner-operator of both establishments runs a wholesale fish stall at the famous Noryangjin Fish Market so fresh sourcing is not an issue here. The pocha accepts reservations up till 6:30 PM. After that, you have to wait.
