The writer and her husband ordered one grilled mackerel set meal and one grilled Spanish mackerel set meal, each with pot rice and seaweed soup, then refilled wrap vegetables and side dishes as often as they liked at the self-serve bar. With a spacious hall and a bar table for solo diners, Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang is an easy choice for a healthy home-style meal or a dinner out with parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 1 Songho 1-gil, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:00 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Closed**: Sep 24–25 (Chuseok holiday) - **Parking**: Outdoor parking - **What we ordered**: Grilled mackerel set meal, grilled Spanish mackerel set meal - **Seating**: Widely spaced tables, bar table for solo diners - **Self-serve bar**: Side dishes and wrap vegetables, help yourself *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* My husband and I were debating what to have for dinner, and suddenly craved some good old healthy grilled fish! Grilling it at home means the smell lingers and the cleanup is a hassle, so we always end up putting it off — eating out is just so much more convenient haha. ![Exterior of Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang Handaeap Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-01-exz9c-966.webp) ## Where is Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang Handaeap Station Branch, and when is it open? This Handaeap Station fish grill restaurant is located at 1, Songho 1-gil, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, 1st floor, and is open daily from 10:30 to 21:30. The exterior was really clean-looking. Since it's a newly opened place, its neat, fresh appearance caught my eye even from a distance, and I felt good before even stepping inside! - 📍 Address: 1, Songho 1-gil, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - ⏰ Hours: Daily 10:30–21:30 - Break time 15:00–16:00 / Last order 21:00 - Closed Sep 24–25 for Chuseok holiday - 🚗 Parking: Outdoor parking ![Storefront entrance and signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-02-7vbf5-966.webp) ## Inside the restaurant: spacious tables and a solo-dining bar table Walking inside, the interior was really spacious and bright! ![Spacious, bright interior dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-03-1xv1b-966.webp) The tables were spaced out generously too, so we could talk comfortably over the meal without worrying about the people next to us. ![Widely spaced table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-04-1b4pn-966.webp) There's also a bar table seat for solo diners, so eating alone here would feel totally comfortable. Eating while looking out the window would probably make the food taste even better haha. ![Solo-dining bar table by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-05-q8bi7-966.webp) Peeking toward the kitchen, I spotted a huge wood-fired oven standing there — this must be where the fish gets grilled! Just imagining the fish sizzling in that heat made my mouth water already! ## Grilled mackerel vs. grilled Spanish mackerel set meal: which fish wins? We ordered one grilled mackerel set meal and one grilled Spanish mackerel set meal at Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang! While waiting, we checked out the self-serve bar, and the side dishes were laid out so neatly that it gave us confidence in the place haha. ![Wood-fired oven for grilling fish near the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-06-1bkup-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged side dishes at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-07-12rzr-966.webp) After a short wait, today's main dishes finally arrived!! A big tray came out with fish, seaweed soup (miyeokguk), and hotpot rice — it passed the visual test right away! ![Grilled fish set meal on a tray with hotpot rice and seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-08-azznh-966.webp) The mackerel's skin was grilled to a nice golden brown over the wood fire. The Spanish mackerel was also huge — plenty for my husband and me to share without feeling short at all! ![Golden grilled mackerel and a large grilled Spanish mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-09-8tbte-966.webp) When I pulled off a big chunk with my chopsticks, the flesh was so pale and thick! Grilled over the wood fire, the outside was crispy while the inside stayed moist — my mouth was full of fish and pure happiness!!😋 ![Thick fish flesh pulled apart with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-10-nqcjf-966.webp) Not a hint of fishy smell, just savory flavor with that signature umami — it was basically a rice thief haha. ![A bite of grilled fish eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-11-1glmj-966.webp) Dabbing a little wasabi on top and dipping it in soy sauce gave it a wonderfully clean finish! ![Fish flesh topped with wasabi dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-12-s3sjt-966.webp) The Spanish mackerel's flesh was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, while the mackerel had a chewier texture with a strong, rich savory flavor — each had its own clear charm. ![Tender grilled Spanish mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-13-17tpy-966.webp) The fish was so thick that even piling it generously on top of the rice, we never ran short until the very last bite! ## Side dishes and how to use the self-serve wrap veggie bar At Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang, all the basic side dishes were perfectly seasoned, and you can grab extra side dishes or wrap vegetables yourself from the self-serve bar. The doenjang (soybean paste) and wasabi came out beautifully arranged in small dishes, which made us feel well taken care of haha. ![Basic side dishes served in small bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-14-1vhxr-966.webp) ![Doenjang and wasabi served in small dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-15-1gqsg-966.webp) Put rice and fish on a lettuce leaf, dab on some doenjang, and you've got a perfect healthy wrap! ![Lettuce wrap with rice and fish on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-16-s0kst-1200.webp) It was great being able to casually grab more side dishes or wrap vegetables from the self-serve bar whenever we needed. Being able to enjoy fresh vegetables freely without feeling self-conscious seems like a big advantage of this place! ![Self-serve bar with wrap vegetables and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-17-g48ef-966.webp) ![Wrap vegetables brought from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-18-1hjmf-966.webp) ![Final look at the completed fish grill set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar-19-1vjjg-966.webp) ## Who should eat at this Ansan grilled fish restaurant? Overall, the food at this Handaeap Station fish grill restaurant was clean-tasting and the space was spotless, so we left satisfied! That said, it might get busy during weekend meal times, so I'd recommend visiting with some time to spare. It's also a great spot to bring your parents to, and perfect for whenever you're craving a healthy home-style meal haha. ## Where it is - Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Bansang Handaeap Station Branch (화덕으로간고등어반상 한대앞역점) - 1 Songho 1-gil, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 안산시 상록구 송호1길 1 1층 - 37.3118139, 126.8477789 - 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%EB%B0%98%EC%83%81%20%ED%95%9C%EB%8C%80%EC%95%9E%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.3118139,126.8477789,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-shelf-walk/hwadeok-godeungeo-bansang-handaeap-selfbar/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
