The writer ordered a full course with her mom — the signature dried pollock, spicy red wings and drumettes with fries, and a mozzarella egg roll — refilling the free fried crackers three times. The hand-trimmed dried pollock, grilled fresh in-store, turned out to be the must-order dish. ## Good to know - **Address**: 9 Dongtanjungsimsangga 1-gil, 103–104, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (entrance to Dongtan food street) - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–03:00 (last order 02:00) - **Parking**: Available - **Signature dried pollock (myeongpum meokte)**: ₩18,900 - **Spicy red wings & drumettes + fries**: ₩15,900 - **Mozzarella egg roll (medium)**: ₩11,900 - **Free side snack**: Sugar-dusted fried crackers (twigim geonppang), refillable - **Facilities**: Large screen installed *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* Today I went with my mom for a cozy drink and some good food at a buzzing gamaekjip (beer-and-snacks pub)-style bar in Dongtan's Namgwangjang area!

Signature dried pollock (₩18,900) This place is seriously dedicated to their dried pollock. ![Dried pollock being prepared on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-10-qxsfg-966.webp) *This is the dried pollock being prepared off to the side.* They hand-pick the bones out of the whole dried pollock in-store and prepare the skin and flesh separately before grilling it — you could really feel the care put into the ingredients! ![Signature dried pollock served with cheongyang chili mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-11-1ohmj-966.webp) ![Crispy flesh and skin of the grilled dried pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-12-q15jl-966.webp) The flesh was crispy and nutty, and the skin was as crunchy as a cracker — dipped in the special cheongyang chili mayo sauce and the buldak (fire chicken) sauce, it was exactly the kind of flavor that calls for beer. I picked the high-protein dried pollock with a bit of a diet-conscience, and it turned out to be a great choice, hahaha, ugh. ![A plate of spicy red wings, drumettes and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-13-1br3z-966.webp) ### 2. Spicy red wings & drumettes + fries (₩15,900) This is chicken wings and drumettes soaked in a sweet-and-spicy special red sauce, served with a generous portion of crispy, nutty fries — plenty filling and satisfying!! ![Chicken wings and drumettes coated in red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-14-1ig6j-966.webp) ![Spicy red wing dipped in cheongyang chili mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-15-shbvx-966.webp) Can you feel the crunch here? Haha. I dipped mine deep into the cheongyang chili mayo sauce... that's the real trick, haha. ![A plate of medium-sized mozzarella egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-16-w0k2w-966.webp) ### 3. Mozzarella egg roll, medium (₩11,900) Packed full of mozzarella cheese inside, it stretched every time I picked it up with chopsticks — a real treat! Pairing it with the spicy dishes felt easy on the stomach, haha. ![Cheese stretching from the mozzarella egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks-17-nsfce-966.webp) ## Verdict — good for a first round or a second round The 'signature dried pollock,' hand-trimmed and grilled crisp in-store rather than the pre-packaged kind, is an absolute must-order! From wallet-friendly snacks to hearty main dishes, there's enough variety that it works well as a first-round meal-and-drink spot or as a second-round stop. With the big screen and genuinely friendly staff, we had a great time the whole way through. ## Where it is - Sin Gagye Maekju Namgwangjang (신가게맥주 남광장점) - 9 Dongtanjungsimsangga 1-gil, 103–104, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄중심상가1길 9 103, 104호 - 37.2004851, 127.0721155 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%A0%EA%B0%80%EA%B2%8C%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EB%82%A8%EA%B4%91%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.2004851,127.0721155,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@nearby-lunch-pages/dongtan-namgwangjang-pub-mom-drinks/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
