I changed both set meals to gondre rice and enjoyed the evening bulgogi, tteokbokki, and kabocha salad. Verdict: a great pick when you want both proper grilled fish and plenty of Korean side dishes. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Regular closure**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Large parking lot behind the restaurant - **Oven-roasted barley corvina set**: ₩27,000 - **Oven-roasted Atka mackerel set**: ₩16,000 - **Gondre rice upgrade**: ₩2,000 extra per person *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* Maybe it’s because I ate fish so deliciously on my Jeju trip... Even though the trip is over, I’ve been craving fish lately, so I went back to Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo, famous for grilled fish. ![Oven-roasted grilled fish table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-01-szv0t-1200.webp) Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo is reliably delicious every time I visit, so I try a different fish on every visit. 👉 This time, I had grilled barley corvina and grilled Atka mackerel! ![Visit to Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo for grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-02-1udbh-900.webp) ## Dangjin Korean grilled fish: Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Dangjin Wondang Branch ![Exterior of Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Dangjin Wondang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-03-ju583-966.webp) Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with a break from 3 to 5 p.m. The regular day off is every Tuesday. I love that the Dangjin location of Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo has a spacious parking lot behind the restaurant. It’s somewhere you can come for a family meal without worrying about parking and eat comfortably. Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Dangjin Wondang Branch also has a clean interior and a very well-stocked self-service bar. ## Choosing between the barley corvina and restorative two-person sets ### Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo menu and prices ![Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-04-2cx9r-900.webp) ![Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo menu and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-05-1mkrc-900.webp) I’d recently had delicious barley corvina, so I thought I had to order it even though it was a little pricier. But I debated the restorative two-person set so much! In the end, Gomgom and I agreed to try that set next time! ![Gondre rice selection information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-06-1wxid-900.webp) You can choose your rice, too. We paid an extra ₩2,000 per person to switch to gondre rice. ## The side dishes I especially loved at the self-service bar The self-service bar is especially great at Hwa.Gan.Go. Nurungji (scorched rice), which really shines when piled over grilled fish, is a must. ![Grilled fish and nurungji at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-07-o1d32-900.webp) The bulgogi I ate so, so deliciously that day. The meat quality was excellent, and maybe because it was evening, the seasoning had soaked in really well—one of the dishes I especially enjoyed! ![Bulgogi side dish from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-08-1pacl-900.webp) ![Plate of self-service bar bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-09-1n016-900.webp) The soup is tasty too, but the tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) was also delicious that day... Personally, the vegetable side dishes at the self-service bar are better at lunchtime. 🗨️ Foods like bulgogi and tteokbokki seem better in the evening! ![Self-service bar tteokbokki and vegetable side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-10-1q4t6-900.webp) I piled on plenty of the kabocha salad that Gomgom likes. That tofu ssamjang? It looked so delicious that day, so I brought loads of it! (It’s especially good with bulgogi..) ![Kabocha salad and tofu ssamjang side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-11-16x6b-900.webp) Gomgom, a total bread lover who can’t give up soup + morning rolls even at a Korean restaurant. The fish we ordered happened to be roasting in the oven, so I took a quick photo haha. ## Oven-roasted barley corvina set and grilled Atka mackerel set - Oven-roasted barley corvina set: ₩27,000 - Oven-roasted Atka mackerel set: ₩16,000 ![Barley corvina and Atka mackerel set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-12-70joe-900.webp) ![Full oven-roasted grilled fish set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-13-3bhzi-900.webp) When you order the barley corvina, they bring green tea water. Mix your rice into it, then put the barley corvina on top. We pigs had already started eating like mad.. They put the freshly oven-roasted fish right in the middle. Barley corvina is on the left, and Atka mackerel is on the right. ![Grilled barley corvina and Atka mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-14-1einp-900.webp) ### Barley corvina or Atka mackerel: which fish suits you better? The two fish have distinctly different flavors and textures. - Barley corvina has a chewier flesh, so I think texture lovers will like it. - Atka mackerel has such soft flesh that it’s perfect for slurping down with rice, and it seems easy for children to eat too. I recommend Atka mackerel for beginners! If you’ve had your share of grilled fish, I think you should try the barley corvina too. ![Gondre rice paired with barley corvina](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-15-or368-900.webp) Scoop up a spoonful of gondre rice mixed with green tea water, pile a generous one-and-a-half pieces of barley corvina on top, then add a tiny bit of wasabi—it’s so good. ![Gondre rice mixed with green tea water and barley corvina](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-16-cnlme-900.webp) ![Gondre rice topped with barley corvina](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-17-1alml-900.webp) 🔺 Can’t you tell just by looking how soft the Atka mackerel flesh is? Haha. I think it’s the kind of grilled fish that’s wonderful to come eat with kids. It also has less of that distinctive fishy aroma. ![Grilled Atka mackerel with soft flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-18-1rbjf-900.webp) The three side-dish musketeers I especially loved from the self-service bar that day: tteokbokki / kabocha salad / bulgogi. The seasoning had soaked in so well that I think I ate more of these than fish haha. ![Tteokbokki, kabocha salad, and bulgogi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-19-zp1r6-900.webp) ![Plate of self-service bar side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-20-mpghg-900.webp) The barley corvina skin was chewy too, and I also really enjoyed the part near the innards haha. (I really like innard meat...) ![Chewy barley corvina skin and flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-21-cls66-900.webp) ![Plate of grilled barley corvina](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-22-rrxj2-900.webp) I went for a light(?) grilled-fish meal and ended up having a proper Korean feast... ![Grilled fish and Korean side dishes table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-23-1vyyk-900.webp) The especially tender bulgogi was so delicious.. Put tofu ssamjang on top and it’s heaven.. Somehow it isn’t salty, and you just keep eating it.. ![Bulgogi served with tofu ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok-24-1lee6-900.webp) Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo is always full of customers whenever I go. There are so many side dishes beyond the grilled fish, so I think it’s especially a great place to visit on a day when you’re craving Korean food or want a proper Korean meal. ## Where it is - Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Dangjin Wondang Branch (화덕으로간고등어 당진원당점) - 41 Wondang-ro, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 당진시 원당로 41 1층 - 36.9052227, 126.6420644 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%94%EB%8D%95%EC%9C%BC%EB%A1%9C%EA%B0%84%EA%B3%A0%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%20%EB%8B%B9%EC%A7%84%EC%9B%90%EB%8B%B9%EC%A0%90/@36.9052227,126.6420644,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-signboard-meals/dangjin-borigulbi-yeonsueo-hwadeok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
