To find a place to eat, it needs to be close enough to walk to from home, but unfortunately, there aren't many restaurants like that. Still, while searching through the alleys, I spotted a couple of places that caught my eye, so I became curious. Since it was lunchtime, I stopped by a Korean set meal restaurant; being right in front of the community center, it looked quite busy. Although I don't usually trust places with "famous" in their name, it turned out to be a decent option for a meal. The menu was divided into main dishes and side dishes, offering more variety than I expected, and the prices were fairly reasonable. I heard that because many customers stop by after hiking Bukhansan Mountain, the side dishes sell quite well, even though it is a set meal restaurant. I ordered grilled mackerel and cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste stew), and five simple side dishes were served first. Although there weren't many varieties, as I could tell just by tasting each one, they were all homemade, seasoned perfectly, and delicious. Starting with the grilled mackerel, it isn't exactly a groundbreaking dish, but considering how rare it is to find a place that grills it properly, I thought it was excellent. They used high-quality mackerel, so it was glistening with oil. The skin was roasted to a golden brown, preserving its crisp texture, and was simply savory without any fishy smell. The flesh was thoroughly infused with oil, making it very moist, and every piece made me want to scoop up a spoonful of rice. As for the cheonggukjang, it had a slight odor, but it wasn't strong and was closer to the mild side. It contained soft soybean granules along with zucchini, tofu, chili peppers, and mushrooms. Taking a generous spoonful, I found that rather than a sweet taste, the savory flavor characteristic of the paste blended with the spiciness of the chili peppers to provide a refreshing sensation. Personally, I prefer cheonggukjang that is quite pungent and sweet, but this one is decent in its own way.

The quantity and quality of the grilled mackerel are overwhelming. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the grilling is done perfectly. The side dishes are also quite tasty. It's no exaggeration to say this is one of the best restaurants near Bulgwang Station.
