HeebabHeebab’s reviewHighly recommended

“Gochujang-bulgogi-style eel and yukgaejang are hearty and go well with rice”

  • Jangeo-gui (grilled eel, gochujang marinade)BestGoes great with rice, like gochujang bulgogi
  • Jangeo with Deodeok (eel with codonopsis root)The eel's savory flavor lingers after the deodeok aroma
  • Yukgaejang Kalguksu (spicy beef soup with noodles)So generous it's nearly half noodles and half ingredients

Liked

  • Lots of side dishes
  • Both the eel and the meal dishes are excellent
  • Many athletes and celebrities visit

Downsides

  • The deodeok (codonopsis root) had an odd texture and wasn't great
Atmosphere
Eating at the restaurant feels like a more upscale eel experience
Would return
Visits often with friends; worth coming again for a health boost
Good for
Family gathering at the start of the year, days needing a health boost
Value
Satisfying enough to pay for it myself
Tips
  • Eat the eel wrapped in lettuce or with rice
  • At lunch, just one soup is good enough
  • Meal kits from the store can also be enjoyed as a meal
