Gwangalli grilled fish restaurant Hwadeogeuro menu prices and Suyeong Children's Waterside Park parking info

Ever crave fish but dread the fishy smell? That was me today. I headed out toward Millak-dong wanting a hearty fish meal. I usually love salty grilled fish, but I hesitate when a restaurant reeks of it or the smell clings to my clothes — which is exactly why this place is perfect.

Grilled at 500 degrees in a wood-fired oven, which cuts the smell way down, and with a gorgeous view straight out over Gwangalli Beach — this is Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Gwangalli Waterside Park Branch, a waterside park favorite.

They even have tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) ready for anyone who can't eat fish, so I'll share a full review of both the view and the food.

## Inside the restaurant: Gwangalli sea views and a dining room with no fishy smell

Walking in, you get a wide-open view of the Gwangalli sea that's genuinely refreshing. My favorite part was that despite being a fish-grill restaurant, the space is super clean and comfortable, with no fishy smell at all!

![Dining room seating with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch-09-bd40i-900.webp)

The spacious seating and generous table spacing make it great for a cozy date, and family groups with kids seemed to be eating comfortably too.

## How does the wood-fired mackerel set taste? Crisp skin, tender flesh from a 500-degree oven

I ordered two things: the wood-fired mackerel set and the wood-fired handmade tteokgalbi. I tried the 'wood-fired mackerel set' while taking in the amazing sea view.

![Full spread of the wood-fired mackerel set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch-13-pww3z-900.webp)

Maybe because it's brine-cured at low temperature with their own blended sea salt and quickly grilled in the 500-degree oven, the outside was super crispy and the inside was moist and tender.

![Wood-fired mackerel grilled crispy on the outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch-14-kqe25-900.webp)

![Flaking apart the mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch-15-1olxj-900.webp)

No fishy taste at all — just clean, savory flavor. Dipped in soy sauce mixed with wasabi, it was the perfect rice-thief, honestly a perfect Gwangalli grilled fish.

### For anyone who can't eat fish: wood-fired handmade tteokgalbi

And the 'wood-fired handmade tteokgalbi' we ordered together was a real standout! The sauce wasn't too salty or sharp — seasoned just right, and great spooned over rice.

Even if someone in your group doesn't like fish, there's jeyuk (spicy pork) or this tteokgalbi, so everyone can enjoy the meal — a thoughtful waterside park restaurant.

## Self-serve banchan bar and sungnyung (roasted rice tea) for dessert

In the middle of Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Gwangalli Waterside Park Branch, there's a tidy self-serve banchan bar loaded with side dishes, so I could comfortably grab as much of my favorites as I wanted.

![Tidy side dishes arranged at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch/hwadeok-mackerel-gwangalli-family-lunch-20-rxvzi-900.webp)

At the end of the meal, the nutty 'sungnyung' near the self-serve bar warmed my stomach right up, and topping it off with a drink from the dessert corner made for a truly well-cared-for, satisfying meal.

## Questions about visiting with kids, answered
