- 📍 Where
- Jangeo-ui Pumgyeok is near Sinsa Station in Seoul. Search 장어의품격 on a map app to find it. On the menu board when I visited: grilled eel 1 kg ₩67,000 (about 500 g after cleaning), an extra 500 g ₩34,000 (about 250 g after cleaning), soba ₩5,000, steamed egg ₩5,000. 📍
- 🍽️ What I ordered
- I ordered grilled eel (1 kg, then another 500 g), soba (모밀) and steamed egg, plus three bottles of soju. A staff member grilled the eel, trimmed it and cut it into bite-size pieces from the start, so I could leave the turning and cutting to them and concentrate on eating. The cut pieces were stood up neatly on the grill, turning golden, and one piece lifted with the reddish-brown sauce showed the grilled skin and flesh underneath. The soba came topped with grated radish, seaweed and green onion. 🥢
- 👀 Visit impressions
- The friendly help at the table is what stayed with me most. You don't need to know how to grill eel to eat comfortably here; on my visit the staff handled it from start to finish, which makes a first try at Korean grilled eel easy. 🔥
