I was craving spicy, savory squid dishes that day, and I was already excited just walking in. ## Where Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom is and when it opens Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom is on the 2nd floor at 1024 Hyohaeng-ro, Byeongjeom-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, and it's open from 11am to 10:30pm. You can park on the roadside. ![Exterior and sign of Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-01-3j2z1-1200.webp) Haetan is on the 2nd floor of the building, but the sign is so big it's easy to spot even from outside. ![View near the entrance of Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-02-19olj-900.webp) ![Store signage announcing year-round hours and lunch specials](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-03-ge9sm-759.webp) They're open 365 days a year and also run lunch specials~! Not many places are open every day these days, and with Chuseok coming up soon, this seems like a great spot to bring the whole family. ![Stairway up to the 2nd floor with wall signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-04-1lp5v-900.webp) ![Brand story written on the stairway wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-05-113q7-900.webp) On the wall along the stairs up to the 2nd floor, there's a nicely detailed explanation of the Haetan brand, so it was fun to read on the way up. I really love squid dishes, so my expectations were sky-high even before walking in. ![Inside view near the entrance of Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-06-w2sa9-900.webp) ![Bright, spacious seating inside Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-07-53kq4-900.webp) ## Inside the dining room and how tablet ordering works Walking into Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom, the space was much bigger and more spacious than I expected. It's bright and kept clean, so I thought it would be perfect for family meals, group dinners, or gatherings. ![Wide view of the large dining hall with plenty of tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-08-j5vzk-900.webp) ![Table seating and surrounding restaurant atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-09-81vgb-900.webp) Every table has a tablet for ordering, so I could look through the menu slowly and order at my own pace. On one side of the tablet screen there was info on 'how to enjoy Haetan 100%' and a Naver receipt review event, so it might be worth checking out. ![Tablet ordering screen installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-10-1qkft-900.webp) ## The self-serve bar: rice, cold bean sprout soup and side dishes Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom has a really solid setup for basic side dishes and the self-serve bar. From rice to cool, refreshing cold bean sprout soup and neatly arranged side dishes, you can help yourself to as much as you want at the self-serve bar. ![Self-serve bar corner with rice and cold bean sprout soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-11-nen9j-899.webp) ![Various side dishes laid out at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-12-15jg8-900.webp) ![Close-up of the self-serve side dish display](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-13-1000y-900.webp) The side dishes pair really well with the spicy squid dishes, so I could enjoy the whole meal without ever running short. ![A tray full of side dishes set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-14-1i3lt-900.webp) They had the side dishes prepped and set out even before the main dishes arrived! There's a tray, so it's easy to carry everything at once. ## What is on the menu at Haetan ![Menu board at Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-15-1dkeu-900.webp) There are really so many menu items, and the prices are surprisingly nice too — even though squid itself isn't cheap! ![Table set with the ordered squid dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-16-nmhf9-900.webp) I ordered the squid stir-fry and the fried squid. Let me introduce each dish~! ## How did the squid stir-fry taste? Haetan Hwaseong Byeongjeom's signature dish, squid stir-fry, was impressive right from the start with its mouthwatering red sauce. The squid wasn't chewy at all — it was plump and had a moist, springy texture. ![A plate of squid stir-fry in red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-17-x24we-899.webp) ![Close-up of plump squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-18-r6f9h-900.webp) ![Smoky squid stir-fry served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-19-zoum5-900.webp) The spicy-sweet sauce with a hint of smoky char soaked all the way into the squid, and mixed into rice it was an absolute rice thief. ![Squid stir-fry mixed into rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-20-144lz-900.webp) ![A wrap of squid stir-fry with lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-21-7z0vf-900.webp) Wrapped with the side dishes from the self-serve bar, the crunchy texture made it even more delicious. ![A plate of freshly fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-22-k01di-900.webp) ## Fried squid: how big is the portion and how crisp is it? The second dish, fried squid, came out freshly fried, hot and remarkably crispy. The portion was quite generous! The batter wasn't overly thick and stayed crunchy, while the squid inside was big and tender, with a savory flavor spreading through my mouth with every bite. ![Cross-section of plump fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-23-18u8j-900.webp) The squid was plump and packed full — genuinely delicious. Dipping it into the spicy squid stir-fry sauce was an amazing combination. ![Ice cream corner available after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan/byeongjeom-squid-stirfry-tempura-haetan-24-25763-900.webp) ## Free ice cream corner after the meal Once you finish eating, there's a corner where you can enjoy ice cream for dessert. It was the perfect way to cool down and clean up my palate, which was still tingling from the spicy sauce — a perfect meal right to the very end. If you want to enjoy hearty, delicious squid dishes in a spacious, comfortable setting, I'd recommend visiting Haetan in Byeongjeom — it's open every day of the year, even makes a great pick for Chuseok, and it's a place that people of all ages will love!
