I ordered the 16,000 won oven-grilled mackerel with brown rice and enjoyed crisp skin, moist flesh, kimchi pancakes, tteokbokki, and bibimbap vegetables. A satisfying choice for a family meal with parents. ## Good to know - **Signature dish**: Oven-grilled mackerel ₩16,000 - **Rice choice**: Brown rice or white rice - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Parking**: Up to 3 hours free in the building underground parking lot *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ## Oven-grilled mackerel in Bisan-dong, Anyang: Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch I visited Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch for a light, healthy, yet filling meal! I came to try its grilled fish, cooked in a 500°C oven to drain away the fat while locking in the juices, along with a premium self-serve bar said to rival a Korean set-menu buffet. ![Exterior of Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-01-sx5n0-900.webp) It is on the first floor of the Kids Mom Center Blue Building, 272 Gwanak-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and is especially easy to find as it is on the first floor of a large building near the Bisan-dong Sports Complex. It is open daily from 11:00 to 21:30, with up to three hours of free underground parking in the building, so it was very convenient to visit by car. ## A spacious, tidy dining room for visiting with parents ![Spacious dining room at Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-02-eg17d-900.webp) The moment I stepped inside, the airy, spacious layout and bright, neat interior stood out. ![Neatly arranged restaurant tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-03-q7r58-900.webp) ![Bright restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-04-govlm-900.webp) The tables were generously spaced and kept clean, making this just the right atmosphere for a family meal with parents or a tidy meal with older guests. The three hours of free underground parking in this large building was also a reassuring perk for families. ## Ordering oven-grilled mackerel and choosing rice ![Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-05-yymao-900.webp) After looking over the menu, I ordered the signature oven-grilled mackerel (₩16,000). I could choose between healthy brown rice and pleasantly sticky white rice, a thoughtful touch. ## A neat spread of basics and the Korean self-serve bar ### Oven-grilled mackerel ₩16,000 ![Full oven-grilled mackerel meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-06-1d0f9-900.webp) ![Oven-grilled mackerel with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-07-16boa-900.webp) Once I had ordered, the basic side dishes were neatly set on the table first. Starting with a warm, comforting bowl of doenjang-guk (soybean paste soup), ![Warm doenjang soup among the basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-08-17pw6-900.webp) ![Neat selection of basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-09-kq55u-900.webp) there was springy japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), sweet-salty braised burdock root, crunchy dried radish strips, crisp braised lotus root, nicely fermented young-radish kimchi, and fresh peppers with doenjang. ![Japchae and side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-10-1lr6a-900.webp) The basic spread alone was neat enough to finish a whole bowl of rice with, but when I looked around the self-serve bar in the middle of the restaurant, an exclamation slipped right out. ![Korean self-serve bar in the center of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-11-1kmq6-900.webp) The self-serve bar was generously stocked with golden, crisp kimchi pancakes, sweet-spicy tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and warm japchae. ![Kimchi pancakes and tteokbokki at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-12-106cv-900.webp) ![Warm japchae prepared at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-13-1xre6-900.webp) ![Food selection at the Korean self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-14-12580-900.webp) ![Kimchi pancakes at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-15-idtnx-900.webp) ![Tteokbokki and side dishes at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-16-qk5lp-900.webp) ![Additional items at the Korean self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-17-57df7-900.webp) There were also perfect preparations for mixing bibimbap (mixed rice): shredded radish salad, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned zucchini, and fresh wrap vegetables, all ready to go in a large bowl of rice. ![Vegetable ingredients for bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-18-ih3d5-900.webp) ![Shredded radish salad and seasoned bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-19-vh9ju-900.webp) ![Fresh wrap vegetables at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-20-agdhf-900.webp) Each side dish had the homemade touch and quality of a dedicated Korean set-menu restaurant, so I could really see how strong the banchan (Korean side dishes) lineup was. ## Crisp outside, moist inside: 500°C oven-grilled mackerel Soon, the oven-grilled mackerel arrived fresh from the 500°C oven on a large plate, looking beautifully golden. The surface was coated in a golden, crisp skin that was sizzling from the intense oven heat. ![Golden oven-grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-21-trmap-900.webp) I lifted a generous piece of thick mackerel flesh with my chopsticks and took a bite. While the outer skin crunched, the flesh was full of moisture and juices, flaking apart softly and moistly along its layers. ![Thick, moist oven-grilled mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-22-jfgxj-900.webp) All the excess oil had cooked away, so it was not rich at all, while mackerel’s deep nutty flavor gently coated my tongue. There was absolutely no fishiness, and the light salt seasoning had soaked in nicely; over hot rice, it was the ultimate rice thief. ![Grilled mackerel served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-23-1t73v-966.webp) It was also wonderfully balanced wrapped in fresh greens from the self-serve bar with sticky rice, a thick piece of mackerel, and ssamjang (savory soybean dipping paste). ![Grilled mackerel wrapped in fresh greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar-24-1f9p6-900.webp) Picking at crisp kimchi pancakes and tteokbokki throughout the meal made it even more fun, and I finished every last spoonful feeling full and impressed. ## Final thoughts Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch really showed the best of fish grilled crisp outside and moist inside by a 500°C oven. With three hours of free parking, a comfortable dining room, and a Korean self-serve bar featuring everything from kimchi pancakes to bibimbap vegetables, I definitely want to return next time with my parents. I recommend it if you are looking near Bisan-dong, Anyang, for a neat, generous grilled-fish rice set or a place for a family meal. ## Where it is - Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch (화덕으로간고등어 비산점) - 1F, Kids Mom Center Blue Building, 272 Gwanak-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 안양시 동안구 관악대로 272 키즈맘센터 블루동 1층 - 37.4018669, 126.9530066 - 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%B9%84%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@37.4018669,126.9530066,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-lunch-walk/anyang-hwadeok-mackerel-selfbar/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
