Anyang grilled fish sets with Atka mackerel: Hwaddeugeuro

A grilled fish restaurant in Bisan-dong near Anyang Sports Complex

Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch is super close to Anyang Sports Complex! It seemed like such a great place to come for a hearty meal after exercising~ Since grilled fish makes for a healthy meal too, it felt just right for after a workout, haha.

Once I stepped inside, the restaurant was much bigger than it looked from the outside!

The interior was neat overall, and there were lots of seats further inside too, so it seemed great for family visits or larger groups~

A self-service bar available with one menu item per person

And one thing I really loved! They have a self-service bar!! If everyone orders one menu item, you can use the self-service bar freely.

The self-service bar had everything from white rice to ssam vegetables (wrap vegetables) and ssamjang (savory soybean dipping paste)!

There were all kinds of side dishes too, and honestly, every single one was delicious.. I love having lots of different sides with grilled fish, so having this self-service bar was just the best, haha.

And here’s another little tip!! You can make bibimbap (mixed rice) too, using the white rice and vegetables for bibimbap that are set out! I came for grilled fish and got to properly enjoy bibimbap as well, hahaha.

There were also so many foods prepared, including tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), sungnyung (scorched-rice tea), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), and jeon (savory pancakes)! But the tteokbokki was especially good.. At first, there was a lot of sauce, so I thought, “Will it be a little bland?” But after one bite... my eyes flew open, hahaha. It was much better than I expected, so I kept eating the tteokbokki before the grilled fish even came out, hahaha.

The utensils at the table were arranged so neatly too. 100 points for cleanliness!!

Tablet ordering and call bells for older guests

Once you sit down, you order from the tablet PC at your table! Some of the older guests at nearby tables seemed to find the tablet a little difficult to use when I visited, and the staff brought them separate call bells. Seeing that, I thought it was really thoughtful that they had considered how older guests could dine comfortably too.. 💛

A full table of mackerel and Atka mackerel set meals

When you order, the basic side dishes come out first, and you can get more of anything you need from the self-service bar I showed earlier!

With a fish set meal, you can choose your rice too: white rice or brown rice. I chose brown rice that day! Here’s another tip: if you order brown rice and want more rice, just bring some white rice from the self-service bar. That way, you can enjoy both brown and white rice!!

Both the soup that came with the meal and the tteokbokki I scooped up from the self-service bar were amazing...🩵

The grilled fish we ordered came out! Doesn’t it look incredibly appetizing just from the presentation!?

The Atka mackerel was so tender and had hardly any bones, so it was absolutely delicious! The mackerel looked glossy and beautiful; I picked the flesh off myself, and it had no fishy smell at all—just savory and delicious. They were both good, but if you ask me which I liked better.. Atka mackerel wins!! It was a little more tender, and I found its savory flavor stronger, so I personally liked the Atka mackerel more, haha. Of course, the mackerel was really delicious too! 😊

A generous meal, from the fish to the side dishes

And there it is, a complete table spread!! With fish and side dishes filling the table, it was much more generous than I expected. Doesn’t the price seem pretty reasonable for such a plentiful meal?!

It was delicious wrapped in ssam, and also so good with rice mixed into the soup and fish placed on top..💛 It was the ultimate meal that even let me take care of my health!

Who I recommend it for

• Anyone who wants to enjoy delicious grilled fish, from mackerel to Atka mackerel
• Anyone looking for a spacious, clean place to eat with family
