## In short

Min Cook Apbadang Seongsa is a grilled seasonal fish restaurant in Seongsa-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang. Visiting with parents on a weekend, the writer ordered two seasonal grilled fish set meals and one grilled hairtail set, which came with hairtail, flounder, Pacific cod, and mackerel plus a self-bar for unlimited banchan (side dish) refills. Being able to buy some of the tasty banchan to take home was a special bonus — a satisfying, comforting Korean set meal spot.

When eating with my parents, I tend to look for clean, hearty Korean food rather than anything too spicy or strong-flavored. And somewhere calm to eat comfortably is always a plus, rather than a loud, chaotic place.

Trying to decide where to go for a weekend meal with my parents, I ended up at Min Cook Apbadang, a well-known restaurant in Seongsa-dong. It's a great pick for family meals, meals with parents, work dinners, or group gatherings, so let me introduce it!

## Run by a master of grilled fish

I was even more excited before visiting knowing it's run by South Korea's first certified master of grilled fish, who has studied fish cooking for over 30 years, and also holds titles as a World Food Master and Korean Food Master.

At the entrance there are nameplates for both the World Food Master and Korean Food Master titles, which added to my trust in the place. It was also impressive to learn it's run alongside Min Cook Dasima, a famous restaurant in Hwajeong. Min Cook Dasima is also well known for sushi and as a Hwajeong favorite, so finding out they're run together was quite something haha — this must be an owner who's truly serious about fish! 😆

### Restaurant atmosphere

Walking in, the place feels clean and comfortable overall. Rather than the noisy, bustling vibe typical of grilled fish restaurants, it felt more like a tidy, calm Korean home-style diner — easy to focus on eating comfortably even with my parents along.

More than anything, there were so many customers when we visited that it was hard to even get a proper photo of the interior. That alone told me how popular this place is, which naturally raised my expectations for the food.

If you enjoyed your meal, don't forget to leave a review~ Writing a review gets you a small extra treat, so you can enjoy a great meal and pick up a little bonus too, haha.

It was fun reading about the fish while waiting for the food to come out haha — clearly the owner is serious about fish!

The grilled fish lineup seems to change a little each time.

## Banchan self-bar and banchan to go

They also sell the banchan (side dishes) separately, so we picked a few of our favorites to take home haha. It was great being able to enjoy the same tasty banchan at home again, and my parents liked them too, so we picked up a few more.

![The banchan self-bar corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/deogyang-silver-cutlassfish-set-banchan-bar/deogyang-silver-cutlassfish-set-banchan-bar-13-1klxn-900.webp)

The basic banchan already come in a good variety, which is plenty satisfying, but if anything runs low, you can freely add as much as you want from the self-bar. Being able to help myself to whatever I wanted without hesitation made the whole meal feel relaxed and easy.

None of the banchan were overly salty or strong-flavored — they were clean and mild, like something you'd eat at home, which made the whole spread more satisfying.

My parents love grilled fish too, so they enjoyed the meal without any pressure, and having so many banchan to go with it made the table feel abundant. Especially when eating out with parents, a full set meal with rice, banchan, and fish together is much easier to enjoy than just one dish on its own. The mung bean jelly and pickled chili peppers were incredibly savory.

And for a clear conscience, I made sure to eat a bit of the salad too…

### The buckwheat chive pancake that comes with the set

This buckwheat chive pancake that came with the set meal was really tasty too!! The mild, clean flavor of buckwheat blended nicely with the subtle aroma of chives, and I kept reaching for more without feeling weighed down.

Munching away happily while waiting for the grilled fish~~

## Seasonal grilled fish set x2 and grilled hairtail set x1

We ordered the seasonal grilled fish set for two and the grilled hairtail set for one. It came with hairtail, flounder, Pacific cod, and mackerel!!

Of everything we ate at Min Cook Apbadang Seongsa, a Deokyang-gu favorite for grilled seasonal fish, the grilled hairtail stood out the most! The flesh was thick and moist, seriously delicious. It was mild but still carried that distinct savory hairtail flavor, which paired perfectly with rice. Grilled fish really tastes best hot off the grill, and flaking the flesh onto rice meant I cleared a whole bowl in no time!!

Grilled hairtail really is a dish that pairs perfectly with rice. Flaking off the golden-grilled flesh and eating it with warm rice let the mild, savory flavor really come through.

This one's cod — even as a stew it has chewy flesh, but grilled it got even more springy. Every fish at Min Cook Apbadang Seongsa, a Deokyang-gu favorite for grilled seasonal fish, had zero fishy smell, staying moist inside with a slightly crisp outside — really delicious.

### Grilled fish wraps, and sotbap

This was my first time seeing grilled fish eaten as a wrap, and it went together surprisingly well! Rather than eating the fish flesh alone, piling rice and grilled fish onto a lettuce leaf felt like a fresh, tastier way to eat it. I'd never thought to eat grilled fish this way before, so it stuck with me as a memorable combo haha.

It was also great that it came with warm sotbap (pot rice)! Laying fish flesh gently over freshly-steamed, warm rice was a wonderful combination. Because the rice itself was warm, the mild flavor of the grilled fish came through even more, and with all the banchan alongside it felt like a properly hearty meal. Grilled fish really does taste best with warm rice, haha.

## Dessert: coffee and sikhye

After a hearty meal, you can cleanse your palate with coffee and sikhye (sweet rice punch)~ A warm cup of coffee is a nice clean finish, or a sweet, cool sikhye is refreshing too. It felt like a fully satisfying experience from meal to dessert, right to the very end, haha.
