Over a weekend lunch with her mother, the writer ordered one raw sushi set and one flame-seared sushi set at 15,000 won each, added a salmon belly sushi, and found both sets generous with salad and cold soba included. The raw sushi was fresh, but the smoky flame-seared sushi is clearly Sushi Hwa's signature. ## Good to know - **Location**: 32 Gimhae-daero 2315beon-gil, 1st floor, Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do (Bongridan-gil, Bonghwang-dong) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-21:00, no break time - **Raw sushi set**: 15,000 won - **Flame-seared sushi set**: 15,000 won (choice of sweet or spicy sauce, or half and half) - **Set includes**: Salad plus cold soba or udon - **Add-on ordered**: Salmon belly sushi - **Ordering**: Kiosk - **Seating**: Solo dining counter, high chairs available - **Event**: A soda or 2 pieces of sushi for a Naver receipt review - **Parking**: A bit difficult around Bongridan-gil - **Price reference**: ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Main image of Sushi Hwa, a sushi restaurant in Gimhae's Bongridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-01-n1xu1-900.webp) A recommended lunch sushi spot in Gimhae's Bongridan-gil 🍣 Sushi Hwa ![Bongridan-gil street and the exterior of Sushi Hwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-02-1q1r8-1200.webp) ## Looking for a lunch sushi spot on Bongridan-gil: why Sushi Hwa Bongridan-gil in Gimhae is full of charming cafés and great restaurants, so I always recommend it as a date course in Gimhae. I hadn't been in a while, so I visited for lunch with my mom 👀 ![View of Bongridan-gil street in Bonghwang-dong, Gimhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-03-1gisz-900.webp) ![Entrance of flame-seared sushi specialist Sushi Hwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-04-g44uh-900.webp) While debating what to eat in Bongridan-gil, I heard about a restaurant in Bonghwang-dong famous for flame-seared sushi — Sushi Hwa. My mom and I both love sushi, but the place in Eobang-dong we used to frequent hasn't had the same fish quality lately, so I'd been a bit disappointed. This felt like a nice discovery 🍣 If it's good, I'm making this my new go-to sushi spot in Gimhae 😎 ![Front of Sushi Hwa with business hours sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-05-8bunl-900.webp) ## Sushi Hwa's opening hours and dining room ⏰ Hours ⏰ Daily 11:00–21:00. Sushi Hwa has no break time, weekdays or weekends, and stays open late into the evening, making it an easy Bongridan-gil restaurant to visit 😄 We went at an off-peak time to avoid the weekend lunch rush, but customers kept streaming in the whole time. ![Clean, tidy seating inside Sushi Hwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-06-f7mgh-900.webp) ![Interior of Sushi Hwa with solo dining seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-07-1mqn2-900.webp) The interior has a clean, tidy vibe overall — great for a Gimhae Bongridan-gil date, plus there are solo dining seats and high chairs, so I saw quite a few families too 👀 ## Menu and kiosk ordering at Sushi Hwa, a flame-seared sushi specialist ![Sushi Hwa sushi set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-08-18s2o-900.webp) ![Sushi Hwa's kiosk ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-09-tp4r1-900.webp) Ordering at Sushi Hwa is easy via kiosk. I got the raw sushi set (₩15,000), my mom got the flame-seared sushi set (₩15,000). An elderly couple at the next table was kindly walked through the process by a staff member 👀 ![Sign about Sushi Hwa's Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-10-1fk3m-900.webp) FYI — if you participate in the Naver receipt review event, you can get a soda or 2 pieces of sushi 👏 ![Neatly plated sushi set at Sushi Hwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-11-1omm0-900.webp) The dishes came out neatly plated and fast 😄 The sushi sets come with salad and either cold soba or udon. ![Salad served with yuzu dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-12-jvqqp-900.webp) The salad came with a yuzu dressing that was refreshing and perfect for whetting the appetite 😊 ![Two plates: raw sushi set and flame-seared sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-13-fclth-900.webp) ## Raw sushi set vs flame-seared sushi set, with half-and-half sauce The raw sushi set looked fresh at a glance, and the flame-seared sushi set looked absolutely stunning 🔥 For the flame-seared set you can choose sweet or spicy sauce to taste — we went half-and-half! ![Flame-seared sushi served half sweet sauce, half spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-14-as55t-900.webp) So kids can eat it too, the sushi at Sushi Hwa doesn't come pre-mixed with wasabi — instead they give you a whole block of wasabi so you can add as much as you like 👏👏 And it's real fresh wasabi that actually stings your nose, so good 💚 ![Fresh wasabi served on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-15-5dj4m-900.webp) ![Close-up of a piece of Sushi Hwa's raw sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-16-1g74q-900.webp) ![A raw sushi piece with just the right amount of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-17-1cqjm-900.webp) The raw sushi was fresh and clean, every single piece was delicious 🍣 With sushi, the fish matters, but if the rice portion is too much you fill up fast and get sick of it — here the rice was just the right amount, so the fish stayed the focus. The fish-to-rice ratio in one bite was spot on 👍 The raw sushi was plenty good, but true to being a flame-seared sushi specialist, my mom's flame-seared sushi won this round!! 🔥 ![Sushi Hwa's smoky flame-seared sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-18-1nhr2-900.webp) ![Close-up of a piece of flame-seared sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-19-1p5zn-900.webp) A subtle smoky char that paired perfectly with the fish — the best 🔥 I'm usually a raw sushi person, but at Sushi Hwa, ordering the flame-seared set is clearly the move. There's a reason it's the signature dish 😝 ![Cold soba included with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-20-1turp-900.webp) ![Lifting a strand of cold soba noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-21-1h7lx-900.webp) ### What the cold soba in the Sushi Hwa set is like The cold soba (buckwheat noodles) that came with the set had chewy noodles and a refreshing broth that went great with the sushi. The broth was savory and cool, making a clean palate cleanser between bites of sushi ✨✨ And this whole spread for ₩15,000. Pretty good value given today's prices — a solid choice for lunch in Bongridan-gil 😊 ![Extra order of salmon belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-22-hvapx-900.webp) ![Close-up of the fatty salmon belly sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch/gimhae-bongridangil-sushihwa-salmon-belly-lunch-23-cy9zk-900.webp) ## Salmon belly sushi, the add-on ordered for mom An extra order of salmon belly sushi for my mom, who loves salmon 🍣 It was fresh, and being belly meat, it was extra fatty and melted in the mouth 🥹 She loved it, which made finding this lunch spot in Bongridan-gil feel worth it 😎 Overall the food was clean and delicious across the board — from raw sushi to flame-seared sushi to cold soba, a great lunch in Bongridan-gil 😊 With no break time even on weekends and high chairs available, Sushi Hwa also looked comfortable for family visits.
