EDITORS NOTE: has been replaced by Taste of Thailand
Great seafood has just become that much easier to find thanks to Sydney Seafood in Itaewon close to Gyeongnidan. The new restaurant specializes in fish and chips. You can order them either grilled, my favorite, or battered for 12,000 KRW. The set menu includes a soft drink, which you can substitute for a beer or glass of wine for a few extra won, and also a crisp delicious salad. You can also up the standard two pieces of fish by one or choose three calamari, two prawns or soft shell crab for 3,000 KRW.
Besides the standard fish and chips set you get several other choices such as battered fish and calamari, battered fish and prawns, fish taco and chips, cod fish and crab, frito misto or even a seafood platter. They also make their own tartar sauce in house. So for great seafood do yourself a favor and try Sydney’s you won’t be disappointed.
Directions: Go to Noksapyeong Station take exit 2. Walk straight to the underground pass. Once you are across Sydney Seafood is above Noxa on the corner.

This was one of my favorite places, and sadly it has closed and been replaced with a different restaurant. i am now searching for anything that is close to as good as this place was.
It’s a shame it disappeared. Hopefully the new Thai place opening is just as good. Fingers crossed!
Robin, you're so right! I still wish more people would go. They deserve the business!
This place is great! And it is 'bad' that more people here don't know about it!
