The grilled fish here is great on its own, but the side dishes that come with it are all so good that every won feels worth it — this is a truly deserving Suwon restaurant. This time, after an autumn walk, I wanted a proper Korean set meal, so I went back after a while. 🤗 ![Exterior of Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-03-b8lz9-900.webp) ## Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch: hours and parking 🐟🐟 Business info for Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda - Hours: daily 10:40 AM – 10:00 PM - Group dining available - Corkage available for a fee - Free parking available ![Free parking space next to the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-04-dabt0-900.webp) There's a parking space right next to the restaurant, and true to a popular Suwon spot, it's plenty spacious — no need to worry about parking! Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch is always busy, so waits happen often, but you can also reserve ahead through CatchTable. ![Dedicated waiting area at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-05-1hlgt-900.webp) ### The dedicated waiting lounge with free coffee and tea There's a separate waiting area right at the entrance, so you can wait comfortably regardless of cold or heat outside.

Seeing them grill and catching that savory smell makes you want to sit down and eat grilled fish right away. ![Spacious dining hall interior with potted plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-09-l8wln-900.webp) ![Seating area with floor-to-ceiling windows and bright lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-10-1gqr3-m-900.webp) Grilled fish restaurants usually have that distinctive fishy smell, but this place is very spacious and clean — maybe thanks to all the plants around purifying the air, because instead of any fishy odor, you get a really pleasant atmosphere. With bright lighting and floor-to-ceiling windows on the walls, it even feels like a café. ![Side dishes laid out right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-11-1icri-966.webp) ## Grilled mackerel, grilled imyeonsu and the basic table setting What we ordered this day was grilled mackerel and grilled bakdae sole! As soon as we ordered, a table practically buckling under the weight of side dishes was set. ![Seaweed soup served as a basic side](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-12-8uxlw-966.webp) ![Pork stir-fry served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-13-1mh4e-966.webp) Warm seaweed soup and tasty pork stir-fry!! To think these come as basics... this really is a generous Suwon restaurant. What matters most is that every single side dish here is genuinely delicious. I remember being impressed on my last visit too, and the taste hasn't changed a bit. Whoever's in charge of the banchan really deserves a raise. These side dishes were far better and more universally pleasing than what I've had at most other Korean set-meal restaurants in Suwon. ![Display of the self-serve banchan bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-14-sywu1-818.webp) ![Unlimited refill side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-15-9dbxk-900.webp) ### The banchan self-bar: japchae refilled three times There's also a self-serve banchan bar to one side of the restaurant, where you can refill your favorite dishes without any hesitation! ![Customers filling their plates at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-16-1odl8-900.webp) Everyone seemed to have the same taste — people kept coming back with plates piled high from the self-bar. With how generously they give it all away, I wondered if there'd be anything left, but you really feel the owner's generosity. ![A plate of japchae refilled three times](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-17-1u4ku-900.webp) The japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) was absolutely delicious... I think I refilled it three times haha. Seriously so good 💛 ![Table set with refilled side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-18-1nnq0-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of glossy wood-fired grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-19-1hdso-900.webp) ![Full table spread with grilled fish and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-20-7rchy-966.webp) ## How does the wood-fired grilled fish taste? Crispy outside, tender inside 🐡🐟 — true to a well-known grilled fish spot in Suwon, the fish coming straight off the wood-fired oven look distinctly good. The outside is golden brown and the inside stays moist, with a glossy sheen that gets your mouth watering just looking at it. ![Grilled mackerel with crispy skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-21-19wpo-888.webp) The grilled mackerel has crispy skin and incredibly soft, moist flesh. The savory fat really comes through, letting you fully taste mackerel's signature rich, clean flavor. ![Tender grilled bakdae sole](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-22-1ke8g-966.webp) ![Close-up of grilled bakdae sole flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-23-t0lhu-900.webp) The grilled bakdae sole's flesh is also very tender, holding in the juices so it practically melts in your mouth. ### Finishing with sikhye from the self-bar To wrap things up, you absolutely have to drink the cool, sweet sikhye (sweet rice punch) haha. ![A cool glass of sikhye from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill-24-172mx-900.webp) This is also unlimited at the self-bar. It's so good I feel like I could drink five glasses by myself alone haha. The perfect Korean dessert to cleanse your palate 👀✨💗 Since my family is gathering for Chuseok this year, I asked whether they'd be open, and they said they'd be operating straight through the Chuseok holidays with no closures! I'm planning to bring my parents back during the holiday and eat until we're stuffed. If you're looking for a can't-miss grilled fish restaurant or a great Korean set-meal spot in Suwon, I fully recommend Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda. 👍 ## Where it is - Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch (고등어명품이되다 수원점) - 1731 Seobu-ro, 1F, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 권선구 서부로 1731 1층 고등어명품이되다 - 37.2633415, 126.9720795 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%EB%AA%85%ED%92%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%90%98%EB%8B%A4%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2633415,126.9720795,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hallim-noon-brew/suwon-grilled-fish-atka-mackerel-japchae-refill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
