Three of us walked in at 2:15pm, just before the lunch last order at 2:30, took the counter seats and ordered salt-grilled atka mackerel (12,000 won), the assorted salt-grilled set (18,000 won) with black cod, fresh salmon and mackerel, and XL miso-grilled mackerel (half), all served with egg porridge and salad to start. Crisp outside and juicy inside, Min Cook Misoyaki's grilled fish makes a filling lunch you can eat without the guilt. ## Good to know - **Location**: 37 Hwasin-ro 260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do (1st floor) - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:00 (lunch last order 14:30) - **Parking**: No parking at the building; 1 hour free at the Hwajeong E-Mart right in front - **Salt-grilled atka mackerel**: 12,000 won - **Assorted salt-grilled set**: 18,000 won (black cod, fresh salmon, mackerel) - **Seating**: Mostly two-seat tables and counter seats; fine for solo diners - **Ordering**: Scan the QR code at the table to order - **Price reference**: ₩12,000 ≈ $8.7 · ₩18,000 ≈ $13 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* I've been baking a lot lately, so I've put on quite a bit of weight ^-^; and it's not just me — the family who eats it all with me has too... So yesterday's lunch had to be something delicious that wouldn't weigh on my conscience: Japanese-style grilled fish. ![A full spread of Japanese-style grilled fish at Min Cook Misoyaki near Hwajeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-01-ndwxn-966.webp) This place has been famous as a #HwajeongStationRestaurant for a while now. I finally made it to Min Cook Misoyaki (민쿡 미소야끼) haha. ![Min Cook Misoyaki storefront sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-02-yokh5-966.webp) ## Min Cook Misoyaki: location, hours and last order Min Cook Misoyaki is located at 37 Hwasin-ro 260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor. It's right below Min Cook Dasima, where I had sushi recently. Hours are 11:00–21:00, with a break time from 3pm to 4pm. So lunch last order is 2:30pm — we arrived a bit late, got there at 2:15pm, and just barely managed to order haha. ![Min Cook Misoyaki entrance with business hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-03-s7736-966.webp) ![Break time notice posted at Min Cook Misoyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-04-3pg09-966.webp) ### Where to park near Hwajeong Station Quick tip: there's no parking at the building for this Hwajeong Station spot, but if you park at Hwajeong E-Mart right in front, they give you 1 free hour, so no worries. The E-Mart lot is nice and spacious too. ![Warm wood-toned counter seating inside Min Cook Misoyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-05-7j1vn-966.webp) ## Inside Min Cook Misoyaki: counter seats and solo dining The interior matched what I saw from outside — that same warm wood tone, a cozy and comfortable space. There's a lot of 2-seat tables and counter seats, making it ideal for solo dining. (My sibling said they'd come back again just to eat alone haha.) This time the three of us went in and sat along the counter seats. It was well past the lunch rush, so it was quiet with hardly anyone else there — we could eat in peace. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code! ![Table QR code for ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-06-j5eju-966.webp) ## What three of us ordered: atka mackerel, assorted set, XL mackerel Unfortunately, since it was near the end of lunch, quite a few menu items were sold out. So the three of us ended up ordering three dishes: one XL mackerel (half) miso-grilled, an assorted salt-grilled set, and salt-grilled atka mackerel. ![Grilled fish menu board at Min Cook Misoyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-07-1bqzh-966.webp) ![주문한 생선구이 메뉴 구성](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-08-1p72e-966.webp) Seeing the knives on display, along with a note about it being founded by a Korea Master Craftsman and never compromising on ingredients, made me even more excited for the food :) ![Master Craftsman introduction and knives on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-09-1j592-966.webp) ![Egg porridge and salad served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-10-1pzea-966.webp) ![Small plate for holding side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-11-9jxx0-966.webp) ![Basic table setting of rice and soybean-paste soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-12-8j0vk-966.webp) ### Egg porridge and salad before the fish First, each of us got a salad and egg porridge before the meal — a fresh, tasty little salad. Having something warm and soft fill your stomach before the meal starts is really nice. They also give you a small plate to hold your side dishes, which is way too cute haha. Rice and soybean-paste soup came out next, ### Salt-grilled atka mackerel, 12,000 won The salt-grilled atka mackerel (₩12,000) came out first, and honestly the portion size shocked me. It's such a generous amount that eating it alone would be tough. Crisp outside, incredibly moist inside — I flaked off a little of the fish and tried it plain, and it had this clean, delicate flavor with just the right seasoning and a real depth of umami. Traditional Japanese-style salt-grilling, apparently — was atka mackerel always this delicious? There's a reason my sibling said they'd come back to eat this again today haha. ![A generous portion of salt-grilled atka mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-13-1r9vu-1200.webp) ![Flaked flesh from the salt-grilled atka mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-14-1bjlr-966.webp) ### Assorted salt-grilled set, 18,000 won: black cod, salmon, mackerel Next was my order, the assorted salt-grilled set (₩18,000), which lets you try black cod, fresh salmon, and grilled mackerel — perfect if you can't decide what to pick! ![Assorted salt-grilled set with black cod, fresh salmon, and mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-15-v1cha-966.webp) ![The black cod portion of the assorted salt-grilled set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-16-1ki5z-966.webp) ![The fresh salmon portion of the assorted salt-grilled set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-17-gvwnz-966.webp) With three different kinds coming out like this, I could taste each one without ever getting bored haha. ![Grilled fish with lemon juice squeezed over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-18-j568e-966.webp) ![A meal of flaked fish, rice, and soybean-paste soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-19-oi4ml-966.webp) Squeeze on some lemon juice first, then flake off the fish and eat it with rice and soybean-paste soup — it fills you up and genuinely feels like you're on a trip to Japan. It tasted almost identical to what my sibling and I had on a trip to Japan, so much so that we said whenever we miss traveling there, we'll just come eat here instead haha. ![A table set for three at the counter seats with grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-20-14byc-966.webp) ![XL mackerel (half) miso-grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-21-1wif2-966.webp) ![Close-up of the flesh of the miso-grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-22-u5rft-966.webp) ### XL miso-grilled mackerel (half) Lastly, the dish my sibling ordered — XL mackerel (half) miso-grilled. The miso flavor wasn't overpowering, but it brought out just the right amount of umami — a real rice thief, as they say! I asked for a bite too, and it was a flavor I hadn't tasted anywhere else... There's a reason this long-running Hwajeong Station restaurant keeps gaining loyal regulars. ![Cross-section of the crisp-outside, moist-inside grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-23-76vdf-966.webp) ![Plate of grilled fish after the meal was finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki-24-pdyva-966.webp) ## What all three grilled fish had in common The common thread across everything: crisp outside, moist and tender inside! Not a hint of fishy smell, just savory depth, umami, and that distinctive grilled aroma — it was perfect. You could really feel the touch of a master craftsman here, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit :) ## Where it is - Min Cook Misoyaki (민쿡 미소야끼) - 37 Hwasin-ro 260beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 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/@seoul-after-noon/hwajeong-station-grilled-fish-minkook-misoyaki/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
