We were trying to figure out what to eat, and since I wanted both raw fish and something warm to sip on, we headed to this Dujeong-dong spot. Eating just sashimi felt a bit lacking, and I wanted seafood stew alongside it too, so it seemed easy to decide — they happened to have a set that combines mixed sashimi with seafood stew. ![First photo from a visit to Donghae Bada Hoetjip in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-01-1lyv9-900.webp) ## Where to park at Donghae Bada Hoetjip in Cheonan The first thing I noticed arriving at Donghae Bada was the spacious parking area. Parking can be a bit of a hassle when driving to eat in Dujeong-dong, but there was plenty of space right in front of the restaurant. ![Spacious parking area in front of Donghae Bada Hoetjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-02-11hdf-900.webp) When I visit with my dad I tend to prefer places with easy parking, so this alone put me in a good mood. ![Parking spaces in front of the building at Donghae Bada Hoetjip in Dujeong-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-03-1rtk7-900.webp) The exterior had big lettering saying it was a seasonal raw fish specialty restaurant, and a sign advertising "no break time, great for daytime drinking" also caught my eye. ![Exterior of Donghae Bada Hoetjip with a sign reading seasonal raw fish specialty restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-04-vnyg5-900.webp) Since they run without a break time, it seemed like a good place to visit with a bit more flexibility around meal timing. ![Entrance with a sign noting there is no break time](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-05-1wah6-900.webp) ## Partitioned tables and what's on the menu Stepping inside Donghae Bada Hoetjip, the overall atmosphere felt clean and tidy. Each table had a divider installed, giving a bit of separation from the next table, which made it comfortable to sit and chat with my dad over the meal. ![Interior table at Donghae Bada Hoetjip with a booth divider installed](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-06-xgbmf-m-900.webp) Looking at the menu, there was more than just à la carte sashimi — several set menus were also available. Options ranged from sets pairing mixed sashimi with seafood stew or braised seafood, to braised monkfish, lobster seafood stew, and the Donghae Special. Depending on the season, there were also menus like dodari makhoe (flounder sashimi), pomfret sashimi, and squid mulhoe (cold raw squid soup), plus side dishes like fried king prawns, croaker jeon, and salt-grilled king prawns. ![Menu board at Donghae Bada Hoetjip listing sets and à la carte dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-07-1np2q-900.webp) ## The mixed sashimi and seafood stew set for two: banchan comes first Since we both wanted raw fish and a warm broth, we decided on the mixed sashimi + seafood stew set for two. Not long after ordering, the banchan started arriving on the table one by one. ![Table filled with Donghae Bada Hoetjip's basic banchan spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-08-5q08s-900.webp) A whole variety of dishes to nibble on before the sashimi arrived quickly filled the table. First came warm seaweed soup in a stone bowl. A spoonful before the meal really started went down easily. The nutty(?) braised silkworm pupae also came out, and my dad picked at them one by one, clearly enjoying it. (( But this blogger hates silkworm pupae )) ![Stone-bowl seaweed soup and braised silkworm pupae among the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-09-obg8u-900.webp) There was also a golden-fried pancake with a crispy exterior that was good while still warm. The cabbage salad came with a refreshing dressing, making it easy to eat alongside the other dishes. Getting boiled pork at a raw fish restaurant felt a little unusual too. The thick slices of boiled pork paired with dried radish salad made for a fun bit of grazing even before the sashimi arrived. Grilled fish also came out nicely browned, and I picked the flesh apart to eat. Just the banchan alone had so much variety that sharing dish after dish with my dad naturally led to more conversation. ![Table spread with pancake, cabbage salad, boiled pork, and grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-10-jxi83-900.webp) ## How the mixed sashimi tastes with gim (dried seaweed) and baek-kimchi After a while, the main event, the mixed sashimi, arrived. It was arranged neatly on a wooden tray and ceramic dishes, looking clean and appealing. Several kinds of fish were served together, making it fun to pick and choose. The sashimi had a chewy yet tender texture. ![Mixed sashimi set for two served on a wooden tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-11-1ti4b-900.webp) ![Plate of mixed sashimi neatly arranged with several kinds of fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-12-63paj-900.webp) Eating the sashimi plain was fine, but pairing it with seaweed or baek-kimchi (white, non-spicy kimchi) gave it a whole different feel. ![Seaweed and baek-kimchi served alongside the sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-13-1f2tg-900.webp) In particular, the crisp, clean flavor of the baek-kimchi went really well with the raw fish. Wrapping sashimi and baek-kimchi together in seaweed gave a range of textures in every bite, so I kept eating it that way over and over. ![Wrapping sashimi and baek-kimchi together in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-14-psk19-900.webp) Eating one piece at a time, the plate emptied surprisingly fast. ![Mixed sashimi plate partly eaten down](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-15-m39zq-900.webp) ## Inside the seafood stew: abalone, shrimp, octopus, pollack roe sac and clams While we were still working through the sashimi, the seafood stew we'd been waiting for was set on the burner. Inside the pot were abalone, shrimp, octopus, pollack roe sac, clams, and more. ![Seafood stew pot with abalone, shrimp, octopus, and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-16-cj04p-900.webp) At first glance the pot looked pretty generous, and it seemed like it'd be fun fishing out different things to eat. As it started bubbling, the seafood aroma soaked into the broth and stirred up this blogger's appetite even more... ![Donghae Bada Hoetjip's seafood stew simmering on the burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-17-1cxt1-900.webp) The broth was spicy with a kick, while also carrying that distinctive umami of seafood. Having a warm broth right after the sashimi shifted the whole mood of the meal. ![A spoonful of the spicy seafood stew broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-18-b1hzi-900.webp) My dad tried the seafood stew broth too and kept picking up his spoon, saying it was refreshing. Fishing out the abalone, shrimp, and clams one by one and sipping the broth in between kept the meal warm right through to the end. ![Seafood pulled out of the stew pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-19-17449-900.webp) ## Is the set for two enough? The bill, the coffee and the verdict Having the seafood stew along with the sashimi, rather than just sashimi alone, made the dinner feel much more filling. That day I got to have a leisurely dinner with my dad for the first time in a long while, and beyond the food, I really enjoyed the time we spent talking. ![Table set for two with mixed sashimi and seafood stew together](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-20-7fr5t-900.webp) With the banchan, mixed sashimi, and seafood stew all laid out together, we didn't even need to add anything extra to enjoy a good variety. Especially when dining with family, I tend to prefer places that bring out a decent range of dishes, and this set fit that need well. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, and want both sashimi and seafood stew, using a set menu like Donghae Bada's seems like a solid choice. The parking was plentiful and the interior was clean, making it comfortable for family meals, and easy for a relaxed dinner alone with my dad, too. ![In-store coffee machine used after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-21-bisrb-900.webp) *Coffee machine to finish off 👍* Most of all, it was a memorable evening because I got to sit across from my dad after a long time and share pieces of sashimi while chatting about this and that. This meal at Donghae Bada in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, where we enjoyed mixed sashimi and seafood stew together, was one where I filled up on good food and also got to spend some relaxed time with family. ![Mixed sashimi and seafood stew set at Donghae Bada Hoetjip in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner-22-190nw-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Donghae Bada Hoetjip (동해바다횟집) - 5-11 Neulpureun 6-gil, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 서북구 늘푸른6길 5-11 1층 - 36.8300368, 127.1278472 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%ED%95%B4%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%ED%9A%9F%EC%A7%91/@36.8300368,127.1278472,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-mealmarks/dongbaehae-hoetjip-dujeong-dad-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
