The two sets we ordered

[Ordered] Oven-grilled mackerel set ₩16,000 / oven spicy pork set ₩16,000

At this Indeokwon Korean restaurant known for grilled mackerel, Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch, we ordered the oven-grilled mackerel set and the oven spicy pork set.

The tidy, clean table setting made it feel like a good place to bring your parents along too.

The 7 banchan that come with each set

One order of the set gets you a spread of banchan including Jeju deodeok (bellflower root), japchae, chilgae muchim (seasoned baby crab), black sesame lotus root, chonggak kimchi (young radish kimchi), seasoned red pepper, and doenjang cabbage soup.

Every single side dish was neatly put together, so it was easy to alternate between them and the grilled fish, and getting to enjoy so many flavors in small amounts made the table feel that much more abundant.

There are also extra banchan that aren't part of the set! You can grab those from the self-bar — tteokbokki, zucchini jeon (pan-fried zucchini), kimchi jeon (pan-fried kimchi pancake), and more.

Rice can be chosen between white rice and brown rice, so you can pick based on your preference. Having a choice down to something this small made me feel how much thought they put into the customer.

Oven-grilled mackerel set from the 500-degree oven

The signature dish at this Indeokwon Korean restaurant known for grilled mackerel, Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch, is the oven-grilled mackerel set, grilled in a 500-degree oven so the outside comes out crisp while the inside stays moist.

The golden-browned skin gives off a nutty aroma first, and the flesh flakes apart softly, letting you fully enjoy the clean, mellow flavor of the mackerel.

Piling a generous chunk of mackerel onto warm rice for a bite, the salty seasoning and savory fish flavor came together naturally — good enough without needing extra sauce.

Oven spicy pork set with tofu and ssamjang

We also ordered the spicy pork set, grilled in the same 500-degree oven.

The pork carries a smoky, fire-kissed flavor with plenty of scallions piled on top adding fragrance, and whole garlic cloves mixed in deepen the pork's flavor even further.

Spicy with a subtle smokiness running through it, eating the scallions and garlic together with the meat gave a familiar yet distinctly Korean flavor that really hit the spot.

It also comes with tofu ssamjang (tofu-blended dipping sauce) instead of regular ssamjang. The nutty, mild tofu flavor gently tones down the spiciness of the pork, making the overall taste feel a lot more balanced.

Between the friendliness, the cleanliness, and flavors that just make you want more, give this Indeokwon Korean restaurant known for grilled mackerel, Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch, a visit.^0^
