The writer came with her husband right before a holiday to build up their strength, grilling eel over charcoal nonstop and also trying pork belly and chicken neck. The eel from the self-bar stayed just as plump as the first round, so the 2-hour limit at Songnim Bok Jangeo felt more than generous. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:20–22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Location**: 2nd floor of the Praum City building, in front of Ansan City Hall - **Time limit**: 2 hours - **Billing**: All-you-can-eat eel, charged per person - **Takeout**: Leftovers cannot be packed / eel takeout and premium eel extract sold separately *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Introducing an Ansan eel restaurant my husband and I visited before a holiday to build up our strength — "Songnim Bok Jangeo All-You-Can-Eat Ansan City Hall Store"! > Hours: Daily 11:20 – 22:00 (last order 21:00) ## Where is Songnim Bok Jangeo Ansan City Hall store, and what is it like inside?

I'd recommend Songnim Bok Jangeo as a group dinner spot in Ansan too! ## Menu and what's on the self-bar Here's the menu at this Ansan eel restaurant. Since it's an all-you-can-eat eel place, you're charged per person. There are also various meal items, good for when you want a little refresh while eating eel. ![Songnim Bok Jangeo menu board listing all-you-can-eat eel and meal items](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-03-m1zf8-733.webp) ![Meal item section of the Songnim Bok Jangeo Ansan City Hall branch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-04-ahauj-733.webp) This is the self-bar. They bring out the basic table setting first, then you add whatever else you want from here! From ginger, an essential with eel, to perilla leaf pickles and green onion kimchi — all good side dishes to pair with eel! ![Self-bar with ginger, perilla leaf pickles, and green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-05-26d9z-550.webp) The eel at this Ansan City Hall eel restaurant, Songnim Bok Jangeo. Neatly cleaned and prepped. ![Neatly prepped freshwater eel at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-06-9lkxb-550.webp) ![Tray of prepped eel laid out at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-07-196h7-550.webp) Pork belly and chicken neck are also on hand. Nice if you're coming with someone who doesn't like eel — there's other meat available too. ![Pork belly and chicken neck ready at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-08-6p2w2-550.webp) At Songnim Bok Jangeo's self-bar you'll find salt and little dishes for grilling garlic, all ready to go — just help yourself. ![Self-bar corner with small dishes for grilling salt and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-09-1fdpa-550.webp) ![Self-bar sauce and seasoning corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-10-1bv9h-550.webp) ## How the all-you-can-eat eel works and the 2-hour limit At first they bring you one eel, one strip of pork belly, and pork neck, and after that you just help yourself from the self-bar! ![Initial table setting with one eel, pork belly, and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-11-1b08e-550.webp) They gave us a bottle of bokbunja wine (Korean black raspberry wine) on the house at this Ansan eel restaurant. Proper body-boosting stuff. ![A complimentary bottle of bokbunja wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-12-bzqub-550.webp) This Ansan City Hall restaurant, Songnim Bok Jangeo, is an all-you-can-eat eel spot so there's a time limit — 2 hours. Honestly, 2 hours is more than enough. No packing leftovers to go lol. ![Sign explaining the 2-hour time limit](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-13-cjbi6-550.webp) They had instructions on how to grill eel deliciously, so I followed along~ ![Instructions for grilling eel deliciously](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-14-10ims-1200.webp) ## How does the charcoal-grilled eel taste? Look how plump the eel is. Grilling it over charcoal makes it even tastier. ![Plump freshwater eel over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-15-z9civ-550.webp) Golden-brown grilled eel from Songnim Bok Jangeo!! ![Golden-brown grilled charcoal eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-16-6v6i9-550.webp) As soon as we finished each piece of eel, they'd bring more right over and grill it beside us haha. You might think, wasn't the plump stuff just for the first round? Not at all. The eel from the self-bar is exactly the same!! It's cut nicely for easy grilling too. ![Eel sliced for easy eating being re-grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-17-1wybc-550.webp) I dip the eel into the sauce loaded with plenty of ginger. So good~ Who came up with that sauce and ginger combo? It goes so well with eel. ![A piece of eel dipped in ginger-loaded sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-18-wy2aq-550.webp) Gotta wrap one in a perilla leaf pickle too, right? The eel just keeps coming... ![Eel wrapped in perilla leaf pickle](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-19-1ny52-550.webp) So disappointing that I couldn't drink the bokbunja wine along with everything since I had to drive... My husband though — eel and bokbunja, going wild lol. Next time I'm coming back to this Ansan eel restaurant, Songnim Bok Jangeo Ansan City Hall branch, so I can have the bokbunja too. ![Eel spread served together with bokbunja wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-20-5szcs-550.webp) ![Charcoal grill plate loaded with eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-21-lnuim-550.webp) I lost count of how many rounds we went back for lol. Anyway, this was the most eel I've ever eaten in my life. Oh! And they also swap out the grill plate and add more charcoal when the fire gets low~ ![A fresh grill plate with more eel being grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-22-1g35d-550.webp) Eat it with perilla pickle + eel + ginger combo and it truly never ends lol Thinking this was really the last round, they grilled up the pork belly and chicken neck that had come out with everything else lol. The pork belly and chicken neck held their own too. But eel is still #1! ![The final round of grilled pork belly and chicken neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-23-17avh-550.webp) ## Eel takeout and premium eel extract for sale This Ansan eel restaurant, Songnim Bok Jangeo Ansan City Hall branch, also sells takeout! ![Takeout eel products and premium eel extract sold at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim/ansan-city-hall-eel-buffet-songlim-24-vf7p1-550.webp) They also sell premium eel extract!
