Saengseon Gumneun Maeul 생선굽는마을

Charcoal-grilling fish instead of frying is the signature approach at Saengseon Gumneun Maeul. Located at the base of Simhaksan in Paju, the establishment serves mackerel, Atka mackerel, flounder, and hairtail. The grilled mackerel features a firm texture and balanced seasoning that pairs well with steamed rice. Braised mackerel with kimchi is prepared to eliminate any fishy scent. Regulars often add the squid stir-fry to their order for its distinct smoky aroma. Six side dishes and a soup accompany the main course, while a self-service station provides unlimited scorched rice broth. A meal for four averages around 69,000 won, offering practical pricing. However, some feedback points to the need for better maintenance of table and utensil cleanliness. Being a popular local spot in Paju, long lines are common. Arriving before 11:00 is suggested to minimize wait times. The restaurant at 8-18 Dolgotji-gil, Paju-si, operates from 10:30 to 19:30, with a break between 14:30 and 16:00. The facility includes a large parking area and gender-separated restrooms. Service is characterized by a welcoming, family-like manner.
