## In short

Hwadeuro-ganggodeungeo Cheonan Main Branch is an oven-grilled fish restaurant near the Baekseok I-Park 2nd apartments in Baekseok-dong, Cheonan. Visiting with her parents, the writer ordered the oven-grilled mackerel set for 16,000 won, the oven-grilled hairtail set for 24,000 won and the Jeju yellow crab yangnyeom-gejang (spicy marinated crab) set for 18,000 won, then added bibimbap fixings, noodle tteokbokki and nurungji (toasted rice) from the self bar.

It's a clean, comfortable, spacious place — great for a family outing or a group work dinner 👥

## What's on the menu at Hwadeuro-ganggodeungeo

The boyang (health-boosting) set for two, featured prominently on one wall, looks like a substantial, special order ✨ Beyond that, the menu ranges from various grilled fish sets to sweet-and-spicy marinated crab, jeyuk (spicy stir-fried pork), tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) and even gorgonzola pizza — plenty to choose from depending on your mood.

## Side dishes and what the self bar holds

![Ordering kiosk placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-06-171z9-826.webp)

You can order easily using the kiosk at each table 😊

![Table set with six basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-08-2a3er-596.webp)

![Neatly arranged banchan plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-09-uyt02-717.webp)

![A bowl of hearty napa cabbage doenjang soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-10-10l9u-718.webp)

![The full basic table setting laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-11-110hl-734.webp)

After ordering, the basic table setting came out quickly! Six side dishes plus a hearty napa cabbage doenjang soup, all neatly arranged. If you want more of anything, you can help yourself at the self bar. The banchan (side dishes) weren't overly seasoned — mild and savory, letting the natural flavor of the ingredients shine, and easy to pair with everything 😋

### Choose white rice, brown rice or gondre rice

![A bowl of brown rice, chosen from the rice options](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-12-1ntu6-849.webp)

![Brown rice served alongside the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-13-1j5aw-773.webp)

The brown rice I ordered came out too. You can choose white rice, brown rice, or gondre rice (Korean thistle rice) depending on taste — I went with brown rice. It was nutty with a proper brown-rice aroma, very satisfying.

![Bibimbap ingredients prepared at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-14-c65z8-900.webp)

![Bibimbap mixed with sesame oil and gochujang](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-15-4mzmx-900.webp)

The self bar also had bibimbap ingredients ready, so you could pick what you liked and mix it into your rice. Sesame oil and gochujang (red pepper paste) were both available too, so you could mix it exactly to your taste — perfect as a little appetizer before the main dishes arrived.

![Self bar side dish corner with lids covering the dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-16-1ssv1-900.webp)

![Noodle tteokbokki at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-17-f5m0a-653.webp)

![Noodle tteokbokki served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-18-1na45-900.webp)

Every dish at the self bar had a lid on it, which gave a nice sense of hygiene. There was also noodle tteokbokki (Korean stir-fried rice cake with noodles) — not spicy at all, a flavor kids would like too. This place seemed like an even better pick for a family outing with children 😆

## What we ordered: oven-grilled mackerel and hairtail sets

![A full spread of oven-grilled mackerel and hairtail sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-19-1r49c-827.webp)

- Oven-grilled mackerel set ₩16,000
- Oven-grilled hairtail set ₩24,000

> Grilled in a 500°C oven, crispy outside, moist inside. Comes with 12 seasonal side dishes and rice with the germ intact / 🌟A 500°C oven that grills moist and fast🌟

Maybe because it's grilled in the oven, the fish came out beautifully browned on the outside — the visuals alone were fantastic! Just looking at it, you could almost smell the nutty aroma, and the golden, well-cooked flesh was so tempting my hand reached for it on its own 🤤

![A piece of hairtail with the flesh separated](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-21-1c6ay-792.webp)

The hairtail had a nice plump thickness to it, so every bite was clean-tasting yet nutty.

A total rice thief — a bowl of rice disappeared in no time! The mackerel had that distinctive nutty flavor that went perfectly with rice.

## Jeju yellow crab spicy marinated crab set, 18,000 won

![The full Jeju yellow crab marinated crab set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-23-1hp66-744.webp)

![Close-up of the sauce-soaked Jeju yellow crab marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner/cheonan-baekseok-grilled-fish-parents-dinner-24-kje1w-594.webp)

> Addictive marinated crab made with domestic Jeju yellow crab in a sweet-spicy sauce!

The sweet marinade really soaked into the crab, and once you tried it you kept reaching for more — addictive. The sauce was less spicy than I expected and leaned sweet, so it was easy for anyone, young or old, to enjoy. There was barely any fishy taste, so it felt clean to eat. Best of all, the crab meat was plump and firm, so piling it generously on rice was just right.

## Finishing with nurungji from the self bar

We finished things off simply with nurungji (scorched rice) from the self bar. A bowl of savory, mild nurungji was a comforting way to end the meal 🤍
