## In short

Min Cook Dasima is a 25-year-old Japanese restaurant in Hwajeong, Goyang, on the second floor of its building three minutes on foot from Hwajeong Station Exit 1, certified as a Hundred-Year Store and run by a certified Japanese cuisine master. Two lunch specials for two people — the special sushi set at 25,000 won and the sake-don set (salmon rice bowl) at 15,000 won — brought 9 pieces of sushi, sashimi, steamed egg and tempura, with the tempura especially crisp. The building has no parking of its own, only one free hour at the E-mart across the street, but Min Cook Dasima is still a solid lunch near Hwajeong Station.

Yesterday for lunch my wife and I went to Min Cook Dasima, a well-known Hwajeong Station restaurant haha. If you've ever wondered what to eat near Hwajeong Station, you've probably heard of this place — search 'Hwajeong Station lunch' on Naver and tons of posts about Min Cook Dasima come up.

Maybe that's why my expectations were sky-high before we even walked in haha. Let me honestly write down what I felt during our lunch.

There were three things I was looking forward to that day. First, the discounted lunch special menu. Second, that it's a 25-year Hundred-Year Store and a certified Goyang tourism restaurant. Third, that the owner is a certified master of Japanese cuisine. Whether it lived up to expectations or not, let me walk through the menu, prices, and the one drawback, for anyone hunting for a good Hwajeong Station lunch.

## Where is Min Cook Dasima? 3 minutes from Hwajeong Station Exit 1

Min Cook Dasima is about a 3-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hwajeong Station on Line 3. The address is 37 Hwasin-ro260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and it's on the second floor of the building. There's an E-mart right across the street, so it wasn't hard to find at all. For anyone looking for a Hwajeong Station restaurant, it's close enough to the station to reach easily by public transit. If you're driving, I'll go into the parking situation in the drawbacks section below.

## A 25-year Hundred-Year Store run by a certified Japanese cuisine master

Walking into Min Cook Dasima, the Hundred-Year Store certification plaque and the Goyang tourism restaurant plaque immediately caught my eye. Knowing the place has been running for 25 years gave me confidence even before the food arrived. These days plenty of restaurants pop up and disappear quickly, so a place that's held its ground this long clearly has something going for it as a Hwajeong Station favorite.

What impressed me most, though, was that the owner is a certified Master of Japanese Cuisine in Korea. Seeing the master's plaque and medal in person shifted my mood a little even before eating haha. I don't know if the master himself made our sushi, but it definitely made me even more curious about what was coming out of the kitchen.

## What is the dining room at Min Cook Dasima like?

The interior of Min Cook Dasima felt clean and tidy overall. It's a comfortable atmosphere for a relaxed lunch, which makes it a good Hwajeong Station lunch option. It was a nice, low-pressure spot for my wife and me to eat together, and it wouldn't feel out of place for a meal with friends or family either.

## Lunch special menu and prices at Min Cook Dasima

Min Cook Dasima has a lunch special menu, so we were able to enjoy a full set meal without breaking the bank. Here's what we ordered that day.

- Sushi set (special): ₩25,000
- Sake-don set (salmon rice bowl): ₩15,000

Ordering one sushi set and one salmon bowl set let us try two different styles at once, which felt like a great combo for a Hwajeong Station lunch. Both sets came with porridge, salad, tempura, miso soup, and pickled radish as standard, so we got to eat a good variety beyond just the main dish.

## Special sushi set, 25,000 won: what comes with it

![Full spread of the sushi set special](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-10-1x8t2-900.webp)

The sushi set special is made up of 9 pieces of sushi, sashimi, salad, steamed egg, tempura, porridge, miso soup, and pickled radish. Getting 9 pieces of sushi and sashimi for ₩25,000 felt like decent value for the composition.

Sushi alone can sometimes feel a bit lacking, but having sashimi as well made it an even more welcome set for anyone who loves raw fish.

The sushi overall was clean-tasting and delicious. There was also the fun of trying several different kinds one by one.

![Sashimi served with the sushi set special](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-12-mtou3-900.webp)

The sashimi came alongside it too, so alternating between sushi and sashimi kept things interesting — never a dull bite.

![Side dishes: steamed egg, tempura, and miso soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-13-oldgq-900.webp)

The steamed egg, tempura, and miso soup rounded things out nicely, making for a filling meal. Having several dishes together felt like more of a proper set-meal experience than sushi alone would. And honestly, that tempura was a work of art. So crispy and so good.

## Sake-don set, 15,000 won: is the salmon rice bowl worth it?

![Full spread of the sake-don set](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-14-panbn-900.webp)

The sake-don set comes with porridge, salmon rice bowl, salad, tempura, miso soup, and pickled radish. Getting the salmon rice bowl plus all the sides for ₩15,000 also felt like good value.

![Close-up of the salmon rice bowl in the sake-don set](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-15-19n0d-900.webp)

If you love salmon, you'll be more than happy choosing the sake-don set. Being a rice bowl, it was also great for a lighter, single-bowl meal. Overall it was a clean, tasty lunch. If you want a mix of sushi and sashimi, go with the sushi set special; if you're focused on salmon, I'd recommend the sake-don set.

## The honest drawback: parking near Hwajeong Station

![Parking guidance for the E-mart across from Min Cook Dasima](https://img.superchart.com/images/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set/minkook-dasima-hwajeong-lunch-set-16-1eio3-900.webp)

Let me be honest about this part. The building where Min Cook Dasima is located doesn't have its own parking lot, so we had to park at the E-mart across the street. On top of that, the free parking support is only one hour, which was a bit disappointing. If you want to eat slowly, I'd recommend checking the parking time limit before you go. Since it's close to Hwajeong Station, taking public transit would honestly be much more convenient. Keeping just this in mind, it's still a place worth visiting as a Hwajeong Station restaurant.

## Min Cook Dasima hours, closing days and how to visit

- Location: 37 Hwasin-ro260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (3-min walk from Hwajeong Station Exit 1)
- Hours: 11:00–21:00
- Break time: 15:00–16:50
- Last order: 14:30 / 20:30
- Closed: 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month
- Parking: E-mart across the street (1 hour free)

Double-check the business hours on Naver Place before you visit.

## Final verdict on lunch at Min Cook Dasima

A 25-year Hundred-Year Store, a certified Goyang tourism restaurant, and a Japanese cuisine master's shop all in one — overall it was a clean, delicious meal. Being able to enjoy both the sushi set special and the sake-don set at discounted lunch prices was great, and parking was the only real drawback. If you're craving sushi or a salmon rice bowl near Hwajeong Station and looking for a good lunch spot, give Min Cook Dasima a try. That was my honest, first-hand review.
