## In short

Seolak Chueotang Hwadeok Saenggeongui Mulwang Reservoir Main Branch is a Korean restaurant inside Mulwang-dong Tosok Village by Mulwang Reservoir in Siheung, Gyeonggi, serving chueotang (loach soup) and wood-fired grilled fish. A lunch visit with parents was easy thanks to a large parking lot with a staff member helping cars in and an elevator linking the first and second floors. The thick, rich chueotang broth and a whole wood-fired mackerel made Seolak Chueotang a hearty, restorative family meal.

A Siheung restaurant recommendation near Mulwang Reservoir: Mokgam-dong Seolak Chueotang. I came out to Mulwang Reservoir with my parents, and it happened to be lunchtime and we were hungry! Looking for somewhere that covers both taste and health, I visited Seolak Chueotang near Mulwang Lake.

After a bowl of hot chueotang (loach soup) and golden-brown grilled fish, I walked out feeling like I'd had a full restorative meal 💪 This post covers everything from the menu to my visit review of this Siheung Mokgam / Mulwang Reservoir restaurant, Seolak Chueotang.

## Where is Seolak Chueotang, and is there parking?

Apparently it's also been featured on quite a few TV shows, like Saeng Saeng Jeongbo and Today N! Maybe that's why it was packed with diners even at lunchtime. It's open from 10 AM to 9 PM with no break time in between, so it's great for dropping by whenever you want, no pressure :)

## Why Seolak Chueotang works for older parents: elevator to the second floor

The restaurant is spread across two spacious floors, so it never felt cramped! What I especially liked was that there's an elevator installed. When visiting with elderly parents or anyone with mobility issues, not having to worry about stairs made this feel like a really thoughtful place!

Starting with the basic, savory chueotang, there's also tong-chueotang (whole loach soup), ureong-chueotang (with river snail), jeonbok-chueotang (with abalone), plus golden grilled fish and fried loach — lots of options, so it's easy to visit even with someone who isn't into loach soup :)

## Tasting the chueotang and grilled mackerel at Seolak Chueotang

![Basic side dishes including kkakdugi and sirajitnamul](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-08-15535-900.webp)

![Neatly arranged side dishes with cabbage salad and lotus root](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-09-2agsf-900.webp)

The basic side dishes were kkakdugi, kimchi, cabbage salad, lotus root, and sirajitnamul (dried radish greens)! Clean, neat flavors, like something out of a proper Korean set meal. Another plus: you can take as much as you want from the self-serve bar if you run out.

What we ordered was the house signature — chueotang and grilled mackerel!

![Sotbap (pot rice) served instead of regular rice at Seolak Chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-11-bwy74-900.webp)

Instead of regular rice, it comes as sotbap (pot rice), which makes the rice taste even better~ Pour hot water in after you finish the rice and end the meal with a savory sungnyung (scorched rice water) — perfect finish 🍚

![A bowl of chueotang bubbling in an earthenware pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-12-6itmz-900.webp)

Just the sight of the chueotang bubbling away in the earthenware pot makes you feel warmer already!

![Thick chueotang broth with siraegi (dried radish greens) visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-13-7n3ts-900.webp)

This is a different level from store-bought chueotang — thick, rich broth 👍 No gamey or fishy smell at all, and the long-simmered siraegi (dried radish greens) are infused with a savory perilla seed flavor that clings to your palate in the best way.

![Rice mixed into chueotang](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-14-902oi-900.webp)

Mixing a bowl of rice into the hot earthenware pot — there's no stopping once you start, I cleaned the whole bowl! The temperature swings lately have had me feeling off, but one bowl of chueotang fully recharged me 💪

### Wood-fired mackerel served as one whole fish

![A whole grilled mackerel served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-15-slmbi-900.webp)

Unlike most restaurants that serve half a fish, here you get a whole mackerel, generously sized. And it's a pretty big one too 👀

![Golden-brown surface of the wood-fired grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-16-1y0z4-900.webp)

Since it's grilled in a wood-fired oven, the outside is crispy while the inside stays moist 👍 Grilling fish at home means cleaning it, dealing with the smell, and it's not easy to get that golden-brown finish — so being able to enjoy it this easily is such a treat 👏

![A piece of mackerel flesh placed on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang/siheung-mulwang-parents-lunch-chueotang-17-18p5u-900.webp)

Plump mackerel flesh piled onto rice, eaten alongside the chueotang, is a fantastic combination 👏 The grilled mackerel was just as satisfying as the main dish — ordering the grilled fish set alone would also make for a hearty meal!

## Is Seolak Chueotang worth it for a family meal by Mulwang Reservoir?

Between the hearty, restorative food, the convenient facilities, and the friendly service, it was a satisfying lunch all around :) If you're looking for a good restaurant near Mulwang Lake in Siheung, give Seolak Chueotang a visit!
