Guigo, here we go~ ## Guigo hours, address and parking in Giheung, Yongin - Hours: 11:00–21:00 / Break time 15:00–17:00 / Last order 20:00 - Address: 761 Jungbu-daero, 2-dong 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi, South Korea - Super convenient parking ![Wide open parking lot in front of Guigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-02-1vpxi-966.webp) Guigo... the parking is ridiculously convenient. The whole empty lot out front is parking. Even a beginner driver could handle it. But I feel like you really want to come here by car. Lately eating a full spread with grilled fish makes me so happy haha. Especially when the hot pot rice comes out, my happiness level goes through the roof. It wasn't super late, but even after work people kept coming in one after another. ![Sectioned-off window seating at Guigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-03-ytxa9-966.webp) ## Window seats and tablet ordering at Guigo We decided to sit at the window seat haha. My dinner mate, Chamchi~ Each seat is sectioned off so it feels private~ Every table has its own tablet haha. Places with tablets are so convenient these days. Bowls, plates, cups — all set out already. ![Tablet, bowls and cups set on every table](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-04-15zwa-966.webp) Since this place has a self-serve bar, you have to order one menu per person. Isn't that just obvious?~~~~ ![Sign explaining the one-menu-per-person rule, with menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-05-wsd6k-966.webp) Water is served like this, one bottle of mineral water. Clean and nice haha. ![A bottle of water and cups set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-06-150xx-966.webp) Brass spoons and chopsticks haha. They have a bit of weight to them which I liked even more haha. ## How much is the wood-fired mixed fish grill & hot pot rice? The wood-fired mixed fish grill & hot pot rice for two is set at ₩36,000, for three it's ₩54,000, and for four it's ₩72,000. That's ₩18,000 per person! Besides the grilled fish there were several other menu items, so I grabbed the list from Naver. Next time I think ordering the gochujang bulgogi as a side would be great too. We ordered the wood-fired mixed fish grill & hot pot rice for two! Fish grilled in a wood-fired oven, crispy outside and moist inside, comes with hot pot rice. The fish included: mackerel, rockfish, flounder, hairtail! ## What's on Guigo's self-serve banchan bar? There's plenty of open seating over on the side too haha. Time to check out the self-serve bar haha~ Oh, looking around the self-serve bar I noticed there's actually a wood-fired oven there, so cool haha. Guigo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hwibigo~~~~~~~~~ ![Wood-fired oven for grilling fish next to the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-07-1lalm-966.webp) Baby dishes are also prepared here. They're sterilized too, so it seems like a great spot to come back to as a family after visiting Korean Folk Village. I actually went to the Folk Village with Tosil not long ago — I wish we'd come here then!!!! ![Sterilized baby dishes stored on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-08-ntvrk-966.webp) They also have a nice clean baby chair set up here! Miss you, Tosil ㅠ ![Neatly arranged baby chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-09-5cgyg-966.webp) Whoa, there's japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) on the self-serve bar?!!!!! Japchae isn't part of the default banchan, so I decided to go grab some haha!!!! So excited haha. ![Japchae set out on the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-10-chwoz-966.webp) An overall shot of the self-serve bar. It's packed full of banchan (side dishes) so you can take as much as you want. Just gotta be careful not to waste any, right? ![Full view of Guigo's self-serve bar packed with banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-11-ezrg8-966.webp) Zoomed in on just the banchan I like haha (I'm not really into vegetables). Being at the self-serve bar makes me so happy. Why is the chonggak kimchi (young radish kimchi) so pretty and red?..haha ## Guigo's basic banchan and seaweed soup Back at our seat, the basic banchan and seaweed soup were set out! Fish cake, seasoned bean sprouts, lotus root, gochujang pickles, chonggak kimchi, fresh seasoned greens! Wow, that fresh seasoned greens dish was especially delicious!! And I love chonggak kimchi too!!! The seaweed soup is just your basic seaweed soup, but my hand kept reaching for it lol lol lol lol. Since I was wearing white that day and worried something might spill on me (I'm clumsy by nature), they kindly gave me an apron. I'm normally more the tough type who doesn't bother with that, but hey; I'll protect my guest! So cute lol. ![Close-up of chonggak kimchi and other self-serve banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-12-1lq2z-966.webp) The japchae I grabbed earlier. Ah, why is the japchae here so good? I inhaled it lol lol lol lol. ![Japchae brought to the table from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-13-1n8or-966.webp) ## How the wood-fired mackerel, rockfish, flounder and hairtail taste From top to bottom: mackerel, rockfish, flounder, hairtail! A whole spread of delicious fish. It looks incredibly golden brown. Lately I feel like I've been going to a lot of wood-fired fish restaurants, since I really love fish. When I eat with fish, it feels like a proper full meal, you know? ![Wood-fired mixed fish grill with mackerel, rockfish, flounder and hairtail](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-14-6haba-966.webp) With the table set like this, full of everything, it looks insanely delicious... I especially love this hanjeongsik (Korean set meal) style with lots of side dishes haha. Hot pot rice reveal! Waaaaaaah. Scoop out the rice and pour in water so it turns into scorched rice water later. Shiny, glossy white rice. Plain rice is the best for me. Mixed grain rice is the enemy of the state. Fish absolutely must be eaten with plain white rice. I'll pour the water in haha. Seriously, who invented hot pot rice? Well, Korea is basically a nation that eats ramyeon and then mixes rice into the leftover broth, right? Eating carbs and then more carbs — and in that sense, this hot pot rice is the perfect carb. ![Full table spread with fish grill, hot pot rice and banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-15-1w202-966.webp) Ah, the attention to detail here is amazing — they even give you separate little dishes of soy sauce and wasabi lol lol lol lol. The fish is delicious plain, but it's also great dipped in soy sauce with wasabi mixed in haha. ![Small dishes of soy sauce and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-16-1b2py-966.webp) Made myself a personal sauce haha. Once I add a bit of wasabi, I'm truly ready ㅠ ![Personal wasabi soy sauce mixed for dipping](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-17-1lorj-966.webp) Hahahahaha, I zoomed in on the fish a bit. Maybe because it's grilled in a wood-fired oven, but the flesh just falls apart the moment chopsticks touch it haha. That's insane haha. So tender and juicy. Wow, even thinking about it now, it was so moist and soft — it just melted in my mouth ㅠ Honestly this one felt especially, especially soft and juicy. I wonder if the owner has some special method? The skin is crispy, so crispy outside, tender inside ㅠㅠ This is my absolute favorite part of eating fish ㅠ I had them pile a bunch of mackerel flesh onto the white rice. My favorite way to eat is to build up rice neatly on a spoon and then top it with something delicious. That's probably why I love Korean food so much haha. ![Mackerel flesh piled on white rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-18-1m950-966.webp) Decided to top it with rockfish flesh for another bite. Ah, why is rockfish so delicious. I also love fish innards so honestly everything was delicious ㅠ Eating it with yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) was pure bliss. ![A spoonful of rice topped with rockfish flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-19-17umo-966.webp) Ran out of seaweed soup so I went to get more. When I eat rice, I prefer having something with broth. In that sense, seaweed soup is great for cleansing the palate. Well, it's not really cleansing the palate — it's more like a fresh new start,, ## Nurungji sungnyung from the hot pot, plus free coffee I really thought my stomach was about to burst, but the second I saw the scorched rice, it was reset immediately. The scorched rice here is seriously, dangerously good. Maybe it depends on how they cook the rice? It was so toasty and delicious I just kept eating it. I know I said I was full earlier but this — this is the true dessert.. ![Scorched rice water made by pouring water into the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-20-x1gy2-966.webp) Topped it with hairtail flesh and ate it up. Warm, toasty, and delicious — the scorched rice water here is seriously insane ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ(P) I feel like my mom would really, really love this... Even people with weak digestion could eat this easily!!!!!!!! ![A spoonful of hairtail flesh added to the scorched rice water](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-21-k21cz-966.webp) For dessert, coffee is also available, so I scooped some into an ice cup and Chamchi had coffee. Eating fish can leave your mouth feeling a bit heavy, but the coffee resets everything, you know haha. ![Iced coffee served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-22-7cvj2-966.webp) I had water instead. So refreshing and it made me so happy haha. Water's the classic way to cleanse the palate anyway haha. ![Refreshing water poured into an ice cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-23-1oswl-966.webp) At the entrance, there were toothpicks and packing supplies set up so you can take leftovers home. The owner's attention to detail is so good!!!! ## Why Guigo works for a family meal near the Korean Folk Village Having this much wide open parking right in front of the restaurant is so great. Perfect for family visits too!!!!!!! The portion of fish was so generous that even though the two of us eat pretty well, there was still fish left over...!!!!!! Seriously, if you love fish, you have to come to Guigo and try the owner's crispy-outside, tender-inside fish;;;;;;; Totally deserves its reputation as a Korean Folk Village favorite. Ugh, I want to eat it again ㅠ Highly recommend as a Korean Folk Village favorite. Great for family visits too (baby chairs fully equipped, baby dishes available). Maybe it's the wood-fired oven, but the crispy-outside, tender-inside texture is amazing; parking is so convenient, so households like mine with three cars would love it even more?!!!! Grilled fish is always good, but this place feels especially, especially good. What is going on here?!!!!!!!!!! ![Toothpicks and takeout packing supplies at Guigo's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner-24-1wfem-1450.webp) ## Where it is - Guigo (구이고) - 761 Jungbu-daero, 2-dong 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 중부대로 761 2동 1층 구이고 - 37.2608427, 127.1423796 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4%EA%B3%A0/@37.2608427,127.1423796,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-supper-page/guigo-yongin-self-bar-grilled-fish-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
