A post claimed that at a sashimi restaurant in the Jeonbuk region, they paid 120,000 KRW but only received side dish-level sashimi.

On the 11th, an online community shared a review after visiting a sashimi restaurant with a river view in the Jeonbuk area. The restaurant’s signature meal costs 60,000 KRW per person, so two people ordered for 120,000 KRW. The menu includes three types of seafood along with live fish, soy sauce marinated shrimp, grilled steamed clams, clam porridge, and assorted clam stew, including side dishes.

Mr. A said, "I received 4 slices of sea bass, 4 slices of sea bream, sea squirt, sea cucumber, and webfoot octopus," and expressed disbelief, saying, "I thought these were just side dishes."

Photos attached by Mr. A show the basic skida-shi (small side dishes), three types of seafood, live fish, soy sauce marinated shrimp, and assorted clam stew. Mr. A paid a total of 130,000 KRW for the Chaeseokgang meal for two plus two bottles of soju. When he asked the owner, he was told it was "normal," leaving him feeling disheartened.

Netizens responded with comments such as, "Just looking at the sashimi plate, it’s like a 25,000 KRW pack from our local supermarket," "It’s worse than the 30,000 KRW one in my neighborhood," "Maybe the price includes the view," "Even a 30,000 KRW delivery sashimi would have at least five times this amount of fish," and "Considering current prices, both self-employed and salaried workers seem to be in a ‘let’s all perish’ mood."
