After a 15-minute wait, the writer parked in the restaurant's large lot and ordered grilled mackerel plus a grilled cutlassfish so long and thick it looked extra-large, rounding out the meal with self-bar side dishes, sungnyung (scorched rice tea) and sikhye (sweet rice punch). The size and tender flesh of the cutlassfish at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda are what stood out most. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 10:40–22:00 - **Last order**: 20:50 - **Parking**: Plenty of space in the restaurant's own lot out front - **Ordered**: Grilled mackerel, grilled cutlassfish, extra portion of grilled cutlassfish - **Wait**: About 15 minutes *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Parking and wait time at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda in Suwon The first thing I loved the moment I arrived at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch was the parking! As you can see in the photos, the lot is huge, so driving there felt totally stress-free! ![Exterior of Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-01-ilea8-1200.webp) ![Spacious dedicated parking lot in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-02-1wlid-900.webp) Walking inside, an open kitchen came into view right away — overall it had a clean, bright vibe. ![Bright, clean open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-03-pnwmq-859.webp) Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda is huge, but even with all that space it's always packed, so there's always a wait! ![Large dining hall packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-04-isihx-900.webp) We waited about 15 minutes before we could get in. And then, on our way in, an aquarium caught my eye! It's usually really hard to see live mackerel, right? But at Godeungeo, you can actually watch mackerel swimming around in a tank — seeing them in person really gave me the sense that this place specializes in fish. ![Aquarium in the restaurant with mackerel swimming](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-05-1ggax-874.webp) The restaurant is so spacious that the dining area was also set up quite roomily. ![Roomy dining space](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-06-n7f52-900.webp) ![Spacious interior dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-07-14vzy-900.webp) ## Ordering grilled mackerel and grilled cutlassfish Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda serves not just typical grilled and braised fish, but also mackerel sashimi, croaker sashimi, and mackerel sushi — after seeing the aquarium, I had a lot of confidence in the mackerel sashimi! We ordered grilled mackerel, grilled cutlassfish, and an extra grilled cutlassfish that day. ![Grilled mackerel and grilled cutlassfish order](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-08-byvl5-859.webp) ## What's on the self-bar: side dishes and soy sauce While waiting for our order, I checked out the self-bar — it was really clean and well organized! ![Neatly arranged self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-09-ne9st-900.webp) ![Self-bar where customers can take side dishes themselves](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-10-1fgv8-900.webp) The first round of side dishes is served, and once they run low you can grab more yourself at the self-bar, so you don't have to keep asking staff for refills — you can just freely take more of whatever you like. Loved that! ![Side dishes and self-bar in use](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-11-16ovc-900.webp) Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda uses single-use soy sauce, wasabi, and individual soy sauce dishes — it really seemed like they care a lot about hygiene. ![Single-use soy sauce and wasabi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-12-tsa3k-900.webp) ![Individual soy sauce dish and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-13-znkm0-900.webp) You just mix fresh wasabi into the soy sauce like this to make the dipping sauce 🤍 ![Soy sauce mixed with fresh wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-14-xcl3u-900.webp) ![Soy sauce and fresh wasabi dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-15-a7if3-900.webp) While waiting, the side dishes came out first, so I tried them — every single one was delicious! I loved the seasoned doraji (bellflower root), the cucumber, and the japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), but the sample of jeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork stir-fry) was an absolute treat! ![Seasoned bellflower root, japchae, and pork stir-fry side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-16-uljs1-900.webp) Nobody dislikes jeyuk bokkeum, right?! Getting to enjoy delicious pork stir-fry at a grilled fish restaurant really got my appetite going right from the start haha. ![Pork stir-fry side dish sampled before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-17-112al-900.webp) ## How big is the grilled cutlassfish? Finally, the grilled mackerel and grilled cutlassfish arrived. The moment I saw the cutlassfish, I was genuinely shocked by the size. The grilled cutlassfish was so long and thick it looked extra-large — if you love cutlassfish like I do, the sight alone would satisfy you! ![Long, thick grilled cutlassfish next to grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-18-326v1-900.webp) My husband's way of eating mackerel = pile a big chunk of mackerel onto a bowl of white rice and dig in ![Grilled mackerel piled on white rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-19-8t2kp-774.webp) ![Grilled mackerel eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-20-1hnp4-900.webp) The grilled cutlassfish was truly as delicious as it looked, and the flesh was so tender. ![Tender flesh of the grilled cutlassfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-21-1k9wh-676.webp) Snacking on the pork stir-fry now and then made it even better..! We ended up ordering an extra bowl of rice each haha. ![Extra rice and pork stir-fry meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-22-1sy1m-900.webp) ## Sungnyung, sikhye and coffee to finish I felt like I was about to burst, but I couldn't resist the nutty sungnyung. And finally, sikhye to finish it all off 🥂 Even dessert was so satisfying. ![Sikhye enjoyed after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-23-1lfmb-900.webp) ![Cafeteria dessert corner inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish-24-k3s56-900.webp) On the way out, I noticed they even have a cafeteria corner, so Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda takes care of your closing coffee too — pure bliss ✨ ## Is this Suwon grilled fish restaurant worth it? - The restaurant is really large, yet it's still well managed. - The lot is spacious, so it was easy to visit by car. - Seeing mackerel swimming in the aquarium made it feel fresher. - The menu was varied — grilled mackerel, grilled cutlassfish, braised fish, mackerel sashimi, and more. - The side dishes were all delicious overall, and the self-bar was convenient to use. - The sample pork stir-fry was a surprisingly great treat. - The grilled cutlassfish was extra-large sized. - Sikhye and sungnyung were on offer too, making the end of the meal satisfying. ## Where it is - Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch (고등어명품이되다 수원점) - 1731 Seobu-ro, 1st floor, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 권선구 서부로 1731 1층 고등어명품이되다 - 37.2633415, 126.9720795 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%EB%AA%85%ED%92%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%90%98%EB%8B%A4%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2633415,126.9720795,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-broth-alcove/suwon-hairtail-grill-large-fish/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
