About
Lively Japanese-style izakaya near Hwajeong Station serving affordable yakitori skewers and small bites, featuring outdoor terrace seating in pleasant weather.
A short stroll from Hwajeong Station in Goyang, Oppa Fighting is an izakaya that leans into the nostalgic rhythms of a neighborhood watering hole. Packed with retro Japanese posters, ornate ceiling hangings, and ambient glow, the room runs on an undercurrent of classic Korean pop that evokes the casual, lingering charm of an old-school *Tudari*. Seating bridges sofa benches, small four-tops, and tables nudging the window, while fair-weather evenings draw crowds outside to the open-air terrace setup. The menu is built for casual grazing, requiring patrons to pick at least three smaller plates on their initial round. Skewers form the backbone of the table. Crisp-edged *samgyeop daepa kkochi* wraps juicy cuts of pork belly around scallions over the grill, locking in a smoky savor. Skewered gingko nuts arrive glistening with salt, alongside garlic skewers, chicken gizzard, and grilled shishamo. While the grilled glazes carry a pronounced, heavy salt profile best matched with food, they serve their purpose when paired against frosty glasses of draft beer served straight from cold mugs. Larger plates flesh out the late-night spread, making the spot a natural destination for a casual second round. Steaming earthenware pots of odeng nabe anchor the table in colder weather, while plates of seafood yaki udon bring sauced warmth to the counter. For lighter breaks between grilled bites, tables round out orders with chicken nanban accompanied by salad, sliced cucumbers with grilled pollock roe, potato salad, or octopus-cut Vienna sausages fried crisp at the edges. Sweet, chilled highballs and draft Cass flow readily, keeping the tables filled well into the small hours.
