On a weekday lunch visit the raw salmon rice bowl in the special size (14,000 won) arrived piled with salmon and flying fish roe, alongside handmade shrimp tempura and salt-grilled black cod that was smoky and tender.

Min Cook Misoyaki, a Hwajeong Station favorite, is located at 37 Hwasin-ro260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the first floor right across from Hwajeong E-mart.

Honestly, I never really grill fish at home, but grilled fish always tastes so much better eaten out, so I end up going out for it instead! ![Cozy interior of Min Cook Misoyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-03-n31ax-m-795.webp) ![Seating with a Japanese home-style atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-04-1xvx1-869.webp) ## What is Min Cook Misoyaki like at weekday lunch? The inside of Min Cook Misoyaki was so cozy, with a warm feel like a Japanese home with a bit of extra sentiment sprinkled on top. Such a pretty space! We visited during weekday lunch hours, and even then there were plenty of people sitting down to eat, plus a ton of delivery orders coming in. It clearly has a reputation as a go-to restaurant near Hwajeong Station, which made me even more excited! ![View of the dining room during lunch hour](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-05-1ref6-846.webp) ## What's on the menu at Min Cook Misoyaki? Here's the menu and pricing at this Hwajeong Station favorite! There are miso-grilled and salt-grilled options, rice bowls, tonkatsu, and a variety of extra dishes. Just seeing miso-grilled and salt-grilled listed made it feel so different from the plain grilled fish you'd make at home — so much more appetizing! With black cod, mackerel, an assorted platter, salmon and more, it seemed like ordering any one of these with a bowl of plain white rice would be amazing! ![Menu board showing miso-grilled, salt-grilled and rice bowl dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-06-1m0m1-899.webp) ## Self-serve banchan bar: cabbage salad and egg porridge to start The self-serve bar inside Min Cook Misoyaki had a nice, clean lineup of various side dishes. ![Self-serve bar filled with banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-07-1kna2-900.webp) ![Containers of self-serve side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-08-1jzew-900.webp) A refreshingly dressed cabbage salad and a savory egg porridge! Eating these before the meal settled my stomach nicely. For any salad lover, a salad with dressing this good is basically true love! ![Pre-meal spread of cabbage salad and egg porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-09-1ea0a-m-900.webp) There were also small side dishes on the table to help yourself to, and the crunchy ones paired so well with the meal! I really love that crunchy pickled radish, and putting a piece on top of the rice made every bite taste even better! ![Side dishes and pickled radish served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-10-1ps8i-900.webp) ![Plate of side dishes to help yourself to](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-11-1qdh1-900.webp) ## Handmade shrimp tempura We ordered the handmade shrimp tempura first at Min Cook Misoyaki, and wow... it looked incredibly crispy just from the sight of it, I got so excited the moment I saw it! Looked delicious! A bite of that crackling-crisp shrimp tempura with a sip of beer would be perfect! It was fried so crisp and nutty that I devoured it happily. ![Crispy handmade shrimp tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-12-ihhm1-1200.webp) ## How big is the 14,000 won raw salmon rice bowl special? Then out came the raw salmon rice bowl. I love salmon so much that I ordered the special size, and true to its name, the amount of salmon was massive! The salmon had this gorgeous, glowing color, and it came piled with fresh vegetables and a generous amount of flying fish roe too! The bowl itself was huge, and I thought finishing this whole thing would make me incredibly full. It looked delicious from the very first glance! ![Raw salmon rice bowl special topped with salmon and flying fish roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-13-1uzk7-900.webp) And even better, this special-size raw salmon rice bowl is such a good price. Only ₩14,000! You get rice, a mountain of salmon, and plenty of vegetables — top-tier value for money! ![Large special-size raw salmon rice bowl in a big bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-14-1tc2z-900.webp) They generously added spicy chogochujang (vinegared chili paste) sauce to the raw salmon bowl, and I mixed it all together and dug in! The raw salmon was so tender the more you chewed it — actually, it barely needed chewing at all, it just melted away smoothly, and that signature rich, fatty salmon flavor was incredible. Fall salmon really is a love story! There was also a big rolled omelet inside, which made the whole thing even more delicious, and I enjoyed every bite. ![Raw salmon rice bowl before mixing in the chogochujang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-15-14bhx-900.webp) With plenty of chogochujang mixed in, the raw salmon bowl turned a vivid red. I mixed the rice in thoroughly and took big bites — so savory and delicious! The tender salmon, the popping flying fish roe, and the refreshing crunch of the vegetables all worked together perfectly! ![Bright red raw salmon rice bowl mixed with chogochujang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill-16-4ajdd-900.webp) ## Finishing with salt-grilled black cod And to finish, savory grilled black cod! I ordered it salt-grilled, and I completely fell for how tender the black cod flesh was! It was grilled to a perfect golden-brown with smoky char flavor rising off it, and it made me realize just how delicious black cod can be. The soft, chewy texture had me finishing a whole bowl of rice without even noticing! The staff were kind too, and both the salmon bowl and the black cod were so good — go enjoy a delicious meal at Min Cook Misoyaki, a Hwajeong Station favorite I definitely want to visit again! ## Where it is - Min Cook Misoyaki (민쿡 미소야끼) - 37 Hwasin-ro260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 고양시 덕양구 화신로260번길 37 1층 - 37.6325081, 126.8327338 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%BC%EC%BF%A1%20%EB%AF%B8%EC%86%8C%EC%95%BC%EB%81%BC/@37.6325081,126.8327338,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mountain-road-supper/hwajeong-station-salmon-donburi-mero-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
