I highly recommend the bibimbap 👍🏻 ![Bibimbap ingredients with gochujang and sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-10-shc0f-900.webp) ![Assorted vegetable side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-11-6qbtb-900.webp) ![Close-up of the self-bar side dish corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-12-1k08q-900.webp) ![Japchae prepared at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-13-schoo-900.webp) ### Japchae, and kids' soup and dinner rolls If you love japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), you have to come here! The japchae wasn't soggy at all — nice and springy — and the seasoning was spot on~ There's also soup and dinner rolls that kids love, so it's great to bring children along too 👶🏻 ![Soup and dinner rolls that kids love](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-14-7u3bx-900.webp) ### Tteokbokki The tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes) surprised me the most — the quality was so good, and it was kept nice and warm, which I loved. ![Tteokbokki kept warm at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-15-1btrv-900.webp) ### Soy bulgogi I went back for three times Such delicious soy bulgogi~~! Not dry at all, no off smell, absolutely the best.. Total number one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I scooped it up three times.. That's how good it was, quality good enough to pass as a dedicated bulgogi restaurant ![Soy bulgogi at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-16-j04rm-900.webp) ### Cream soup and scorched rice tea (sungnyung) Cream soup and scorched rice~!

As someone who loves pork bulgogi,, I gave it a try? ~ and I was so surprised at how good it was 👍🏻 - ✅ There were onions layered underneath so the meat didn't burn, and the bowl it's served in kept the meat warm~ The portion is generous too, plenty to share !! A really filling meal There were tongs, which made it easy to pick apart the fish~ The fish flesh was plentiful and thick, which made eating it really fun 🤤 ![Fire-grilled pork bulgogi served over onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-22-ff5aq-900.webp) You can wrap the pork bulgogi in the fresh lettuce, or just eat it plain — both were really delicious! ![Fire-grilled pork bulgogi wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-23-9rei9-900.webp) ## How do you enjoy the mackerel set the best? Dipping it in soy sauce and mixing in some wasabi made it even more delicious 🤤 - ✅ Nutty + oily fish Being able to choose between brown rice and white rice was great too! Paired with the warm doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) that comes with it, it made for a perfect meal.. 👍🏻 ![Extra order of large grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family/dangjin-wondang-grilled-mackerel-selfbar-family-24-i9zqf-1200.webp) It was so good we ordered extra grilled mackerel~~! It's that delicious, so you should definitely try it — the mackerel is a good big size too! 👍🏻 ## How was it as a family gathering spot?
