Myeongchon Sikdang 명촌식당

Myeongchon Sikdang is a single-menu grilled fish restaurant on Tongyeong Haean-ro. Ordering is unusually simple: diners state the number of people, and the kitchen prepares the corresponding set. A standard table receives four to five kinds of seasonal grilled fish, commonly mackerel, yellow corvina, a local red fish called ginttaro, and flatfish. The fish are cooked until the exterior is crisp while the flesh remains moist. Seven to eight banchan, a bowl of siraegi-guk made with dried radish greens, and steamed rice complete the meal. This format lets diners compare oily, lean, firm, and delicate fish without selecting separate plates. The vegetable side dishes and soup also break up the salt and oil of the grilled fish. Pricing sits in the low 10,000-won range per person, and the quantity and number of fish give the set strong value. The room resembles a well-used neighborhood eatery rather than a polished seafood restaurant. Decor is modest, tables are close together, and the atmosphere becomes lively as seats fill during meal periods. There is no dedicated parking lot, while public parking is available nearby. The restaurant cooks from a daily supply of fish and can finish service when those ingredients are exhausted. Its location on the coastal road is close to the Hangnam-dong waterfront promenade, connecting the meal with a walk through central Tongyeong. Because there is only one set menu, the decision is straightforward. Myeongchon Sikdang fits diners who want several grilled local fish, home-style side dishes, soup, and rice in one complete table. It is less suited to anyone seeking private spacing, elaborate decor, or extensive à la carte choice. The limited menu keeps the kitchen focused on grilling different fish and coordinating them with the same set of rice, soup, and banchan for every table.
