Nothing satisfies a craving for umami quite like mackerel, especially when that mackerel has been grilled to golden perfection and is prepared with an array of well-chosen side dishes. If that sounds like a perfect meal to you then take this as your sign to head over to Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doaeda in Jukbaek-dong.

Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doaeda is a restaurant that specializes in mackerel, but they also offer other types of fish including sole, croaker, and hairtail. You can order the fish grilled, braised, or sliced into Korean hoe or chobap. There is also a bulgogi option for anyone in the group who is not a fan of fish. The fish has a delicious and clean taste, not to mention the health benefits such as high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Another thing that sets Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doaeda apart is the high-quality side dishes served along with the fish. From fried pork to japchae and seasonal vegetables, the sides are almost a meal in and of themselves! They are satisfying, tasty, and pair excellently with the main dishes. Although the side dishes are initially brought to your table by a server, refills are self-service, so if there's a banchan that you particularly like, feel free to take as many helpings of it as you can eat! The side dish refill station is clean and comfortable to use.

Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doaeda is considered a Pyeongtaek highly rated restaurant, so you might have to wait for a seat. But don't let the crowd scare you away--it is merely a testament to the taste and quality of the food. While you wait for your name to be called, enjoy some complimentary sikhye. Enjoy!
