I ordered the weekday lunch Value Set for 2 at 42,000 won and fell especially hard for the charcoal-grilled mackerel, haha. Verdict: a neat, filling choice for lunch, family meals, or gatherings. ## Good to know - **Value Set**: ₩42,000 for 2 people - **Neat Set**: ₩30,000 for 2 people - **Ordering**: Table-order system - **Private rooms**: 2 rooms - **Parking**: A1 Plaza basement through B2; 2 hours at Seomjin Parking behind the building; free public parking across the street *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Introduction to a visit to Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-01-1kic5-900.webp) ## Finding the bossam place I used to visit in Myeongji, now in Yulha Myeongji Cheotjip (명지첫집) was a place I went to all the time when I lived in Myeongji before moving. Each person gets their own neatly arranged setting, so it was great for bringing guests or getting together, and I visited often... Oh my gosh~ I never expected there to be a Myeongji Cheotjip in Yulha too, haha. So happy to see it, I went to the Yulha location with my husband this time. Myeongji Cheotjip in Yulha is in the A1 Plaza building, so you can park in the underground lot. ![Myeongji Cheotjip located in A1 Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-02-3uuqd-900.webp) The parking garage goes down to B2, so there is usually plenty of space. Even if it is full, you can use Seomjin Parking behind the building for 2 hours, and there is also a free public parking lot across the street—so I really do not think parking will be a concern! ![Parking information for Myeongji Cheotjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-03-nzase-900.webp) As soon as I walked in, I saw the Myeongji Cheotjip interior sign beneath the pretty lighting~ There were also seats where you can sit and wait if there is a queue. ![Myeongji Cheotjip interior sign and waiting seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-04-f96ee-900.webp) ![Bright and spacious Myeongji Cheotjip dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-05-ge52m-900.webp) ![Bright and spacious Myeongji Cheotjip dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-06-1dvcu-900.webp) Compared with the two locations in Myeongji, the interior somehow felt a little brighter? The dining room was open and spacious too, which I liked. ![Information about private rooms at Myeongji Cheotjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-07-elxjw-900.webp) If you do not like such an open atmosphere, there are also two private rooms, so it would be good to reserve ahead. There were guests in the rooms, so I could not take detailed photos, haha. ![Table-order menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-08-rymwn-900.webp) ## Weekday lunch Value Set and grilled mackerel You order through the table-order system. I visited at weekday lunchtime and was looking for a good-value lunch in Jangyu, Gimhae, when I suddenly got a craving for grilled fish, so I ordered the Value Set. The Value Set is ₩42,000 for 2 people! Myeongji Cheotjip is originally known for its bossam (boiled pork wraps), so the Neat Set alone would have been enough, but I had never tried the grilled mackerel here before—and I was really craving grilled fish that day—so I went for the Value Set~~ While waiting for the food, I looked around the restaurant too~ ![Neat Set full-table meal for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-09-1cswb-899.webp) If you order the Neat Set for 2 at ₩30,000, this is how the table is set. Just looking at it, it is so clean and neatly arranged!! This alone would definitely have filled me up, but I had practically come to eat the grilled mackerel today, hahaha. ![Bossam and side dishes arranged as a full meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-10-1i3ux-1200.webp) They said the grilled fish would take a little time, but just as I was about to start eating first, the grilled mackerel came out too. ![Golden grilled mackerel cooked on a charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-11-f8yzz-900.webp) Wow~ The mackerel was grilled on a charcoal grill, with the oil nicely rendered out and a beautiful golden color! It looked delicious from the start. Ahh~ so neat, so neat!! I think this tidy full-table presentation is exactly what makes Myeongji Cheotjip so nice. ![Neatly arranged bossam meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-12-jps96-900.webp) ![Full-table meal including grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-13-1e2at-900.webp) ## Charcoal-grilled mackerel that tempted me even more than the bossam For some reason, I was craving mackerel more than bossam that day, so I took a bite right away! Wow~ It was my first time trying grilled mackerel at Myeongji Cheotjip, and it was seriously delicious!! There are so many restaurants and chains specializing in oven-grilled mackerel these days, but this was absolutely good enough to stand beside them. Maybe it was even better, haha. I came for bossam and became completely hooked on the grilled mackerel instead, hahaha. ![Myeongji Cheotjip grilled mackerel and bossam meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-14-ig09r-900.webp) ![Full meal with charcoal-grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-15-1xv2z-900.webp) ![Bossam and grilled mackerel table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-16-skr8u-900.webp) There was salad, steamed egg, and of course bossam, the star of the day~~ The bossam kimchi was not overly sweet either; it was just right. ![Bossam meal with salad and steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-17-14r7v-900.webp) ![Bossam meal with bossam kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-18-cf1ct-900.webp) ![Bossam meal with accompanying side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-19-17sp2-900.webp) I made ssam (lettuce wraps), ate it with bossam kimchi too~~ I already knew the bossam would be delicious because this place is famous for it, but why was the grilled mackerel so good too? Haha. ![Bossam with ssam and bossam kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-20-1x9in-900.webp) ## A neat full-table meal for family dining and gatherings In the end, the mackerel was so delicious that I picked all the flesh off and filled up on mackerel instead of rice, hahaha. My husband had bossam and even some of my bowl of rice, while I ate mackerel almost as if it were my staple food. If two women visit, I think the Neat Set alone would be plenty filling; if a group of men visits, it might feel a little light, so adding grilled mackerel would be a good idea.. Above all, the food comes out so cleanly arranged as a full table setting, making it a good place to bring guests, have a family meal, or hold a gathering. Especially on a weekday when you want a neat, hearty lunch in Jangyu, Gimhae, I would recommend Myeongji Cheotjip. ![Myeongji Cheotjip full meal eaten for weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-21-lng10-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged full-meal set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip-22-biu0p-900.webp) And on days when I do not want to cook, when putting together this and that at home feels like too much but I want a neatly prepared full meal, I think this would be such a good place to go. It was so nice to find Myeongji Cheotjip, which I used to visit often when I lived in Myeongji, in my new neighborhood of Yulha too, hehe. Next time, I think I will add the grilled mackerel again, hahaha. ## Where it is - Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch (명지첫집 장유율하점) - 204–205, 2F, A1 Plaza, 52 Yulha 6-ro, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea (경상남도 김해시 율하6로 52 에이원프라자 2층 204호, 205호) - 경상남도 김해시 율하6로 52 에이원프라자 2층 204호, 205호 - 35.1717821, 128.8246443 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%85%EC%A7%80%EC%B2%AB%EC%A7%91%20%EC%9E%A5%EC%9C%A0%EC%9C%A8%ED%95%98%EC%A0%90/@35.1717821,128.8246443,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongnam-order-slip/gimhae-yulha-grilled-mackerel-myeongjicheotjip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
