On this fourth visit the usual grilled mackerel came with grilled bakdae (sole) for the first time, and the staff served two bakdae instead of one because the fish were small. With seaweed soup, sungnyung (scorched rice tea) and a free plate of jeyuk (spicy stir-fried pork), a full bowl of rice vanished in minutes. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Grilled mackerel + grilled bakdae (sole) - **Hours**: Daily 10:40–22:00 - **Parking**: Available (very spacious lot) - **Reservations**: Naver Reservation available - **Other menu**: Premium set (grilled fish, sashimi, bulgogi), braised fish, bulgogi, sashimi, sushi - **Self-serve bar**: Yes — help yourself to any banchan you want - **On the house**: Free jeyuk (spicy stir-fried pork), seaweed soup, sungnyung *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* I'm back again for my regular grilled fish fix! Whenever I think of the best grilled fish spot in Suwon, Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda comes to mind first. The parking lot here is huge, so you never have to worry about that. ## Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon menu: why we tried grilled bakdae today This time at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch, I ordered grilled mackerel and grilled bakdae (sole). I always order the grilled mackerel whenever I come, and I've tried the cutlassfish and the Spanish mackerel too — today's adventure was the bakdae, haha. So I ordered grilled mackerel + grilled bakdae. Let's take a look at the menu first ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ![Grilled fish menu board at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-01-1bm2g-900.webp) ![Grilled dish menu page at Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-02-17tyr-900.webp) There's also the premium set, which lets you enjoy grilled fish, sashimi and bulgogi together — good for a special occasion, so keep that in mind. ![Menu board for the premium set with grilled fish, sashimi and bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-03-w7agl-900.webp) ![Menu board listing braised fish, bulgogi, sashimi and sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-04-tqwiq-900.webp) They also have a variety of braised dishes, bulgogi, sashimi, and sushi. ![Signage for Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-05-csuux-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* This grilled fish spot in Suwon says it carefully selects fresh fish and grills each order right away, so the fish comes out crispy outside and moist inside! And it's all cooked over a wood fire. ## Inside the Suwon restaurant: seating and space for family gatherings Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch has such a spacious layout that it's great for family gatherings or dining out! ![Spacious dining hall inside Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-06-1ce96-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![Wide seating area good for family gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-07-9j1bf-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* This West Suwon favorite really has a huge interior— ![Restaurant interior busy on an early weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-08-2dpzv-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* —and every time I come, it's full of customers! Even on an early weekday evening it was busy, and it seems to always be busy whenever I visit. This is already my third or fourth visit. I also love that the place is always kept spotless. ## Self-serve banchan bar, seaweed soup and the free jeyuk plate Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch has a self-serve bar! If there's a side dish you want that isn't already on your table, go grab it yourself from the bar! The self-serve bar was kept very clean too. ![Clean and well-organized self-serve banchan bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-09-zvwx5-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* By the way, the seaweed soup here is genuinely delicious, haha. With sungnyung (scorched rice tea) added on top of the seaweed soup, it's a really generous spread. ![Complimentary seaweed soup served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-10-28pyo-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![Table setting with seaweed soup and sungnyung](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-11-j6rhk-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* And they give you a free taster portion of bulgogi! Compared to last time, today's tasted even better. Even though it's free, the quality and taste are both great! ![Free taster portion of bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-12-fanm7-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![Close-up of the complimentary bulgogi plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-13-uip7c-676.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* Such a generous spread — the table practically groans under the weight of it! The mackerel alone is enough to finish a bowl of rice, but with the seaweed soup and side dishes all tasting so good too, the whole rice bowl disappeared in no time. ![Full table spread of grilled fish and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-14-s5dam-1200.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ## How did the grilled mackerel and grilled bakdae taste? Grilled mackerel, grilled bakdae. Since today's bakdae was on the smaller side, they gave us two of them instead! Nice touch! ![Grilled mackerel with two smaller bakdae fillets](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-15-1hcs8-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* Let's try it with a squeeze of lemon juice~! ![Grilled fish with lemon juice squeezed over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-16-x0o4i-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* I have the grilled mackerel every time I come — for me, mackerel is the tastiest. I can confirm this is one of the best grilled fish spots in Suwon! ![Grilled mackerel with the flesh flaked apart](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-17-1yc36-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* This was my first time trying grilled bakdae, so it was a fascinating experience... ![Plate of grilled bakdae, tried for the first time](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-18-1mxw4-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![Close-up of grilled bakdae flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-19-v9kyp-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![A piece of grilled fish held with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-20-qhge2-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ![Cross-section of wood-fired grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-21-17k33-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* They say it's the most popular fish here because it's rich and savory with plenty of oil, haha. It was moist and perfectly seasoned — really delicious! ![Oily, rich grilled mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-22-13lzy-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* But of course, my number one pick is still mackerel, haha. Since this is a mackerel specialist, ordering mackerel is a must~ ![Grilled mackerel eaten together with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-23-lvlaa-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* And then the grilled bakdae — apparently it's a specialty fish known for its chewy texture and nutty flavor! The more you chew, the deeper the flavor gets! ![A chewy piece of grilled bakdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel/suwon-grilled-fish-bakdae-mackerel-24-1xozp-900.webp) *Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch* ## Grilled fish on Seobu-ro in Suwon: is Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda worth returning to?
