I finally visited Geoheung Dongtan, a Dongtan shabu-shabu restaurant that my friend had been raving about, after a family outing.

From traditional braised short ribs to carefully prepared grilled yellow corvina, Geoheung Dongtan showcased the profound flavors of Korean cuisine.

The restaurant's ambiance, with its sophisticated and warm interior, captivated me, making for a truly unforgettable and delightful experience.

It was the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and fully immerse myself in the flavors and atmosphere.

1. Location & Address Information

Geoheung Dongtan is located on the 3rd floor of Time Terrace Block A, 220 Dongtan Jungang-ro, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do.

It's easily accessible by public transportation.

The building's exterior is accentuated with warm wood, creating a stylish atmosphere.

The large sign catches the eye right from the entrance, making it easy to find even from a distance.

They are open every day from 11:00 AM to 9:20 PM.

The last order is at 8:30 PM.

It was very convenient to visit because they operate without breaks or closed days.

For inquiries, you can call 031-8003-4007!

They offer 2 hours of free parking in the building's underground parking lot, so you can come comfortably without worrying about parking.

I heard that there can be long waits during lunch or dinner, but we were lucky enough to arrive a bit early and get in right away without waiting.

All the tables were neatly arranged with chairs, and even if you bring elderly family members, you can dine in a calm and clean atmosphere without any discomfort.

Also, they have children's chairs available, making it a great place for family gatherings.

The private rooms were decorated so beautifully that they were eye-catching.

They also offer table settings for special family events such as first birthday parties, 60th birthday celebrations, and 70th birthday celebrations for a fee.

The price varies on weekends and weekdays, so it's good to inquire in advance.

It's the perfect place to make your family's precious moments even more special.

In addition, there was a self-service bar filled with ice cream, coffee, and tea to complete the meal.

In particular, the lotus leaf rice, which is famous for being featured on the TV show ' 서민갑부 ', can be ordered for nationwide delivery and takeout, so you can enjoy the deep flavor at home.

I was surprised by the large number of side dishes they make and sell directly.

Thanks to these thoughtful touches, I could see why Geoheung Dongtan is always crowded with customers.

2. A Full-Course Meal

As soon as we ordered, the table was filled with carefully prepared side dishes, making it a happy sight.

The clean and simple side dishes, which seemed homemade, were not at all stimulating, raising expectations for the main dishes even higher.

The deep, handmade taste of each side dish felt like a work of art beyond a simple meal.

The refreshing, spicy, and sweet marinated Pollack dish played a significant role in stimulating the appetite.

The chewy Pollack made me exclaim from the first bite.

I couldn't miss the crunchy jellyfish salad, and the refreshing sauce made me keep reaching for it.

The savory sesame oil flavor was well-balanced, making it not greasy at all and highlighting the refreshing taste.

A warm soybean paste stew was also served, filled with plenty of ingredients such as tofu, zucchini, and onions.

The deep and rich flavor, unlike commercial soybean paste, made me want to mix it with rice.

This is what you call a real 'rice thief'.

The deep and savory scent of soybean paste brushed my nose, warming my body and mind.

The soft tofu in the soybean paste stew was easy to swallow without chewing.

Thanks to the refreshing and delicious soup, I couldn't put down my spoon.

3. Tteokgalbi (Grilled Short Rib Patties)

The Tteokgalbi was incredibly tender, melting in my mouth.

The thick, juicy meat with a glossy sheen burst with flavor as I chewed, leaving a deep impression.

In particular, the moist and sweet sauce was perfectly infused, creating a fantastic harmony with the rich meat flavor.

Thanks to this excellent taste that everyone can enjoy, I was impressed throughout the meal.

Next, the warm grilled yellow corvina came out, steaming hot and making my mouth water with the aroma of the seasoning.

The yellow corvina was so large that it was fun to chew, and I was surprised by the generous portion when I cut it.

The seasoning was not overpowering but spicy and flavorful, making it perfect to enjoy with rice.

The combination of the crispy grilled skin and the moist flesh was the best.

I put the grilled yellow corvina on top of warm white rice and took a bite, and the combination of the plain rice and the spicy and salty seasoning created a fantastic harmony, confirming that 'this combination never fails'.

The side dishes were excellent, but the grilled yellow corvina stood out as a main dish.

4. Braised Short Ribs

The braised short ribs were served in a earthenware pot, so I ate generously.

The colorful vegetables made it visually appealing.

The tender meat of the braised short ribs melted in my mouth, leaving me deeply moved.

It was so deeply simmered that the bones and meat separated easily, making it moist and savory.

I could taste the deep flavor as if it had been simmered with care for a long time.

The seasoning was deeply infused, making it sweet and delicious, a favorite dish for both children and adults.

It was a surefire combination that tasted even better when mixed with rice.

5. Dried and Salted Croaker (Gulbi)

The dried and salted croaker that came out next boasted a dignity as if it were treating a precious guest.

The dried and salted croaker, well-dried by the sea breeze, had a unique, deep, and rich flavor.

The plump croaker was salty and flavorful, making me automatically call it a 'rice thief'.

This special taste is not easily found elsewhere.

In particular, when I rolled rice in cold green tea water and put a piece of dried and salted croaker on top, I had a special experience of feeling both coolness and savory flavor in my mouth at the same time.

The clean and refreshing taste without any fishy smell was so good that I couldn't help but keep reaching for it.

You must experience this luxurious combination.

6. Stir-fried Octopus

Finally, the stir-fried octopus, which decorated the grand finale of the meal, heated up the table with its spicy and smoky flavor.

The plump and chewy octopus was mixed with fresh vegetables in a special sauce, filling my mouth with flavor.

I felt like the stress was relieved as soon as I took a bite.

The attractive visual that stimulated my appetite was also impressive.

The spicy seasoning refreshed my appetite and had a highly addictive taste that kept me reaching for the next bite.

It was an excellent dish to mix with rice or enjoy as a side dish with alcohol.

This family outing created truly unforgettable memories at Geoheung Dongtan.

From the generous food, comfortable atmosphere, and warm service,

everything was excellent, making it my go-to restaurant that I would definitely want to visit again next time I visit Goyang.
