On the weekday evening of arriving in Gimhae, the writer ordered the Sushi Hwa flame sushi set for two (27 pieces, 38,000 won) plus a salmon sushi set (16,000 won) to compare the spicy and buttery sauces with plain raw salmon. Sushi Hwa has no lot of its own, but the free Bonghwang-dong public parking lot is close enough to make driving there easy. ## Good to know - **Address**: 32 Gimhae-daero 2315beon-gil, 1st floor, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–21:00 (last order 20:40) - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use the free Bonghwang-dong public parking lot, or park near the Bonghwang-dong Historic Site (4-minute walk) when full - **Sushi Hwa flame sushi set (for 2)**: 38,000 won (27 pieces of flame-seared sushi + 2 salads + choice of 2: udon or cold soba) - **Flame sushi set**: 15,000 won - **Tuna flame sushi set / salmon flame sushi set**: 16,000 won each - **Raw sushi set**: 15,000 won - **Salmon belly sushi set**: 18,000 won - **Tuna sushi set / salmon sushi set**: 16,000 won each - **Eel rice bowl set**: 18,000 won - **Flame-seared cheese pork cutlet rice bowl**: 9,000 won - **Flame-seared chicken karaage rice bowl**: 8,000 won - **Review perk**: A drink or 2 pieces of sushi for leaving a Naver review - **Price reference**: ₩18,000 ≈ $13 · ₩9,000 ≈ $6.6 · ₩8,000 ≈ $5.9 (2026-09-24) *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* ## Why Sushi Hwa in Bongridan-gil was the first dinner in Gimhae ![A plate of sushi at Sushi Hwa in Gimhae's Bongridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-01-1kiqp-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of Sushi Hwa's flame sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-02-1t28s-900.webp) The moment I arrived in Gimhae, I headed straight to Bongridan-gil for dinner. Bongridan-gil has filled up with more cafés and restaurants than before, so there are quite a few more options now. That night I was craving sushi, so I went to Sushi Hwa, right there in Bongridan-gil. > Sushi Hwa hours > 📍32 Gimhae-daero 2315beon-gil, 1st floor, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do > ⏲Daily 10am – 9pm (Last order 8:40pm) ![Exterior of Sushi Hwa in Bongridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-03-10pl9-900.webp) ## Where Sushi Hwa is and where to park Sushi Hwa sits right in the middle of Bongridan-gil, so it's a good spot to also stroll around before or after the meal. 🅿 There's no dedicated parking for Sushi Hwa, but it's close to the free Bonghwang-dong public parking lot, and if that's full, you can park around Bonghwang-dong Historic Site, about a 4-minute walk away. ![Entrance of Sushi Hwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-04-jrodc-900.webp) ![Interior seating at Sushi Hwa on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-05-sm1n7-900.webp) I visited on a weekday evening and there were more customers than I expected — I guess since there aren't that many sushi options in Gimhae, a lot of people looking for sushi end up here. ## Sushi Hwa menu and prices ![Sushi Hwa sushi set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-06-3uy94-900.webp) ![Sign explaining Sushi Hwa's flame sushi menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-07-1asxl-900.webp) There's raw sushi topped with fish straight off, but the flame-seared sushi, torched on the surface, seemed to be the main event on the menu. The set menus come with either hot udon or cold soba. - Sushi Hwa flame sushi set (for 2) ₩38,000 - Flame sushi set ₩15,000 - Tuna flame sushi set ₩16,000 - Salmon flame sushi set ₩16,000 - Raw sushi set ₩15,000 - Salmon belly sushi set ₩18,000 - Tuna sushi set ₩16,000 - Salmon sushi set ₩16,000 ![Menu board showing sushi set prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-08-1nfa7-900.webp) ![Sign explaining set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-09-wbk9r-900.webp) ![Sign for rice bowl menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-10-1vxbt-900.webp) ![Menu posting inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-11-162ww-900.webp) Besides sushi, there are also rice bowl dishes: eel rice bowl set ₩18,000, flame cheese pork cutlet rice bowl ₩9,000, flame chicken karaage rice bowl ₩8,000. ![Sign about the Naver review perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-12-1yawi-900.webp) If you leave a Naver review, you get a free drink or 2 pieces of sushi. ## What comes in the 38,000-won flame sushi set for two ![The flame sushi set for two, fully plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-13-1gvno-900.webp) The Sushi Hwa flame sushi set I ordered is well-portioned for two: 27 pieces of flame sushi + 2 salads + choice of 2 from udon or cold soba. ![A plate holding 27 pieces of flame sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-14-ysrxi-1200.webp) The sushi set lets you try many kinds of sushi at once, so for a first visit, ordering the set feels a lot easier than picking each piece individually. ![An assortment of different flame sushi pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-15-1hxle-900.webp) ![Close-up of torch-seared flame sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-16-10vw6-900.webp) Flame sushi has the surface of the fish lightly seared, which changes both the color and the aroma, giving it a different eating experience from raw sushi. If you're not used to the texture of raw fish, this style could be a good option. ![Flame sushi topped with spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-17-gm6zb-900.webp) ![A piece of flame sushi with buttery sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-18-i5tmu-900.webp) ### Spicy sauce on one half, buttery sauce on the other Each piece was a decent size, with a good rice-to-fish ratio. The flame sushi came in a mix — half topped with a spicy sauce and half with a sweet, buttery sauce — so it was fun picking whichever suited my mood. ![Cold soba included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-19-708bo-900.webp) ![A bowl of hot udon included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-20-17g1o-900.webp) With the cold soba or udon included, the meal felt heartier and more filling. The portion wasn't too much or too little — just right to enjoy alongside the sushi. ## Salmon sushi set: raw salmon vs flame-seared ![Sushi Hwa's salmon sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-21-ax5dh-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of a plate of raw salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-22-ebk44-900.webp) I also ordered raw salmon sushi. The raw sushi and flame sushi styles are polar opposites, so it really comes down to which style you personally prefer. ![Close-up of raw salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-23-h2st3-900.webp) If you care most about the fish's natural texture and flavor, go raw. If you prefer sushi with sauce added, go flame-seared. ![Flame sushi and raw sushi placed together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night-24-xrpfq-900.webp) If you're looking for sushi in Gimhae, give Sushi Hwa in Bongridan-gil a try~ ## Where it is - Sushi Hwa (스시화) - 32 Gimhae-daero 2315beon-gil, 1st floor, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 김해시 김해대로2315번길 32 1층 - 35.2289375, 128.879248 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%EC%8B%9C%ED%99%94/@35.2289375,128.879248,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@afterwork-rice-map/gimhae-bongridangil-sushi-hwa-first-night/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
