This time, I visited Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch (강한초밥 천안불당점). > Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch ## Why I returned with my younger brother after eating alone Actually, this was not my first visit. I had eaten here by myself before and enjoyed it more than I expected, so this time I came back with my younger brother, whose favorite food is sushi. ![Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch revisited with my younger brother](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-01-mug97-900.webp) I like taking family or friends to places I have tried first and liked, so I wanted my brother to try this place too. From the outside, Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch caught my eye with its neat, warm wood-toned look. ![Wood-toned exterior of Ganghan Sushi in Buldang-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-02-107v6-900.webp) *A quality sushi restaurant in Buldang-dong with a good set that leaves you full!* There was a banner at the entrance emphasizing the thick sushi, and once I received the food, I could see why they used that phrase: the neta, or fish topping, was indeed quite thick. ![Entrance banner emphasizing thick sushi toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-03-1mum3-900.webp) ## A tidy restaurant that is comfortable for solo dining too The interior was tidy and well organized overall. I had not felt awkward visiting alone, and this time my younger brother and I could eat comfortably together. ![Neatly arranged restaurant table and palate-cleansing candy](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-04-bh26r-900.webp) *Even palate-cleansing candy ••• such thoughtful touches 👍* Each table had a tablet for ordering, with pickled ginger, rakkyo (pickled scallion bulbs), soy sauce, and more set out neatly. Cutlery, tissues, and cups were organized in a drawer, which also kept the tabletop from feeling cluttered. ![Table with dining tools organized in a drawer](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-05-1nohr-900.webp) They said the restaurant operates year-round without a break time, making it easy to time a meal. Solo dining, takeout, and delivery are available too. ![Restaurant notice for solo dining, takeout, and delivery](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-06-1ym9z-900.webp) ![Information on solo dining, takeout, and delivery](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-07-179mm-900.webp) ## The 12-piece Ganghan Special Sushi set This time, we ordered the ₩17,000 Ganghan Special Sushi. It came with 12 pieces of sushi, plus mini udon, miso soup, salad, a seafood croquette, and rinsed aged kimchi. ![Ganghan Special Sushi set with mini udon and croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-08-1dnr1-900.webp) The sushi included flounder, flounder fin, salmon, tuna, spear squid, gamtae shrimp, soy-marinated shrimp, ankimo, clam, egg sushi, and more. With so many varieties on one plate, it was fun choosing them one by one. ![Plate of Ganghan Special Sushi with many varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-09-12bmj-900.webp) ### Thick toppings and a varied selection piece by piece The thick neta was the first thing that stood out when the sushi arrived. The flounder and salmon were springy yet tender, while the flounder fin had a pleasantly crisp bite and savory richness. The tuna was richly savory too. ![Thick flounder, salmon, and tuna sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-10-17iik-900.webp) The gamtae shrimp paired the distinctive aroma of gamtae (seaweed) nicely with shrimp, while the soy-marinated shrimp was salty and full of umami, making it good with the rice. ![Gamtae shrimp and soy-marinated shrimp sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-11-1ghzd-900.webp) The ankimo was also delicious, with a rich, soft flavor that came through nicely. ![Rich and soft ankimo sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-12-1nli1-900.webp) With so many different kinds of sushi, there was a natural little thrill in eating one piece and deciding on the next. More than anything, seeing my sushi-loving younger brother enjoy it so much made me oddly proud. ![Various sushi pieces chosen with my younger brother](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-13-dwzuc-900.webp) Since I had enjoyed it on my solo visit, I thought my brother would like it too, and after eating together, it seemed to suit his taste well. And there was one item at Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch that I personally loved: the seafood croquette...!!! ![Seafood croquette served as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-14-10sw9-900.webp) ## The seafood croquette I kept reaching for between sushi pieces It came as part of the standard set, and its crisp exterior and soft interior made it great to eat alongside the sushi. ![Seafood croquette with a crisp exterior and soft center](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-15-r9ums-900.webp) It was honestly so good that I kept reaching for it more than I expected. Having a croquette in between sushi pieces also kept the meal from ever feeling one-note. ![Seafood croquette enjoyed between sushi pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-16-w0zi6-900.webp) The rinsed aged kimchi served alongside it also went well with the sushi. Its tangy, clean flavor felt refreshing after fish sushi. The warm mini udon and miso soup made the meal feel a little more substantial than sushi alone. ![Rinsed aged kimchi, mini udon, and miso soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-17-mt3kh-900.webp) ## A return visit that was even more fun with my brother I usually do not bother revisiting places that disappoint me after one meal, but this Buldang-dong sushi restaurant had good sushi and a set I liked, so I wanted my brother to try it too! He normally loves sushi, and I wanted to take him somewhere tasty; thankfully, he enjoyed our meal that day as well. As we each picked the sushi we liked and said, “This one is good,” and, “Try this one too,” even 12 pieces disappeared in no time. Sushi really does seem more fun when you eat it with someone who loves it too. Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch was a place I revisited because I had first eaten there alone and enjoyed it, and we were both able to enjoy the texture of the thick neta and the varied sushi selection. I also liked that one Ganghan Special Sushi set came with mini udon, miso soup, a seafood croquette, and rinsed aged kimchi, so there were several things to enjoy alongside it. The seafood croquette especially stayed with me. I went out for sushi and came home feeling like I had enjoyed a croquette too. ![Sushi meal with thick toppings and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette-18-1dmhy-1200.webp) If you are craving sushi in Buldang-dong or looking for a good sushi restaurant in Cheonan, it is a place worth visiting more than once. Especially if you want a sushi restaurant that, like it did for me, feels good enough after one visit to come back to, this may be useful to keep in mind. ## Where it is - Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch (강한초밥 천안불당점) (강한초밥 천안불당점) - 111-ho, 67-12 Buldang 21-ro, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 서북구 불당21로 67-12 111호 - 36.8136358, 127.1083873 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%95%ED%95%9C%EC%B4%88%EB%B0%A5%20%EC%B2%9C%EC%95%88%EB%B6%88%EB%8B%B9%EC%A0%90/@36.8136358,127.1083873,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-mealmarks/cheonan-buldang-sushi-croquette/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
