Local Rank / Seoul

Raw fish in Seoul, ranked by what Koreans pay

Local Rank is an independent guide that ranks restaurants in Korea by what Koreans actually spent there by card. This page covers Raw fish places in Seoul, across 6 neighborhoods: Myeong-dong, Hongdae, Seongsu, Ikseon-dong & Jongno 3-ga, Gangnam Station and Yeouido. As of 10 November 2026, the top 3 by last month's card spending are Sokcho Ojingeo Eosijang Yeouido (속초오징어 어시장 여의도, Raw fish in Yeouido, top 0.49% in Korea), Sokcho Ojingeoeosijang Yeoksam Branch (속초 오징어어시장 역삼점, Raw fish in Gangnam Station, top 1.6% in Korea) and Seongsu Godeungeo (성수고등어, Raw fish in Seongsu, top 1.61% in Korea). The order comes from BC Card payment data published through eat.pl, so it shows where local cardholders really pay rather than reviews, star ratings or advertising. Big chains are left out. The % is a place's position among all places in Korea: top 1% means only 1 in 100 took in more. Each place links to its eat.pl page with the map, opening hours and busy times.

How this ranking works

Koreans pay for most meals by card. Local Rank takes the card payment ranking that BC Card publishes through eat.pl and lists restaurants by how much was spent there last month. Nobody can pay to appear, and reviews play no part.

Big chains, cafés and bars are left out of the restaurant lists. Cafés and pubs have lists of their own.

Each place links to its page on eat.pl, which shows the map, opening hours and busy times. That page is in Korean; Chrome and Safari can translate it.

Local Rank is an independent guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by BC Card.
