Cheonan Buldang-dong sushi with wasabi on the side: Ganghan Sushi 12P

In short

Ganghan Sushi Cheonan Buldang Branch is a sushi platter restaurant in Buldang-dong, Cheonan, right in front of the city hall. Arriving at 2pm with a sushi-loving child to miss the crowds, the writer ordered two of the basic Ganghan Sushi 12P platters at 14,000 won each, and each one arrived with mini udon, a seafood croquette, miso soup and aged kimchi, so a single order felt like a full course. The best part at Ganghan Sushi was that wasabi comes on the side by default, which made sharing with a kid easy.

I'd often walked by during meal times and seen every table full, so since there's no break time, I timed our visit for around 2pm when it'd be quieter. They told us the regular Monday closure was actually just removed recently — so now it's a Buldang-dong sushi spot you can enjoy every day.

Description of the Ganghan Sushi 12P composition

Our Ganghan Sushi 12P was made up of jumbo flounder, 7kg superior grade raw salmon, 200kg bluefin tuna, thick raw squid, sweet shrimp with seaweed, 24-hour aged handmade soy sauce shrimp, castella egg sushi, and Japanese-style fried tofu sushi. Ordering a sashimi platter comes standard with mini udon, salad seafood croquette, miso soup, and washed aged kimchi.

One platter, but a full course: what comes with Ganghan Sushi 12P

Salad seafood croquette served as an appetizer
Miso soup served alongside the seafood croquette

While the sushi was being made, the seafood croquette and miso soup came out first as appetizers. I was already hungry, so the hearty croquette settled my stomach a bit. Croquettes can get greasy, but with a fresh salad underneath, the combo worked well.

The sushi came out soon after. At a glance, the fish looked fresh and generously thick, so appetizing. Our little one eats a decent amount of sushi, so we ordered two full plates outright.

Wasabi on the side makes Ganghan Sushi easy to eat with a child

I'm oddly fond of that egg sushi — whether it's a conveyor belt place or a sashimi platter restaurant, it's the dish that always makes me happy. Another perk of Ganghan Sushi is that the wasabi comes separately. Since we were eating with our kid, I asked if they could serve it apart, and they said it's always served that way by default.

Wasabi served separately on the side
Bluefin tuna sushi and raw salmon sushi

Tuna and salmon were our little one's favorites. She was starving so she polished them off in a flash. She used to only insist on salmon, but now that she's tried tuna and liked it, her palate is getting pretty refined.

Mini udon served alongside the sushi

After waiting a bit for the noodles to cook, the udon arrived. They kindly asked in advance if they should leave the chili flakes out of one bowl for the kid — much appreciated. The well-boiled noodles were nicely chewy, and the broth did its job perfectly as a side to the sushi.

Is Ganghan Sushi worth a 2pm visit in Cheonan? Final thoughts

Table at Ganghan Sushi after finishing the meal

The food honestly didn't look like that much when it first arrived, but by the time we finished, we were completely stuffed. The generous spread, the freshness, and the savory harmony of the fish and rice all satisfied me. If you're looking for a great sushi restaurant in Cheonan, I recommend Ganghan Sushi in Buldang-dong! :)
