Why I came back to Hanjangeo Baegun, an eel restaurant by Baegun Lake
Hanjangeo Baegun (한장어 백운점) is a freshwater eel grill on Neungan-gil near Baegun Lake in Uiwang. It's open 11:00~21:00 and has parking. There are an unusual number of freshwater eel restaurants around Baegun Lake! But ever since my first visit, Hanjangeo Baegun is where I go for eel.
Hanjangeo's April event: ₩58,000 for two
For its April event, Hanjangeo Baegun is discounting freshwater eel for two from ₩68,000 to ₩58,000. Eel for two at ₩58,000, so you have to rush over this month!
Is parking easy at Hanjangeo Baegun?
There's plenty of parking in front of Hanjangeo Baegun, so you can visit without worrying about it. The sign stands out from far away too.
Hanjangeo menu and prices
On the menu, freshwater eel for two (550g) is ₩68,000, and extra orders are ₩34,000 for 300g. Besides eel they also have marinated raw galbi-sal (rib meat) and seasoned pork neck. I'm always curious and think about ordering them, but I tell myself to focus on the eel and end up eating only eel! There are also plenty of meal options besides eel soup: janchi guksu (banquet noodles), bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles), yeolmu guksu (young radish kimchi noodles) and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew).
Inside Hanjangeo Baegun and its private rooms
The inside of Hanjangeo Baegun is fairly spacious~ and there are private rooms too, so it works for family gatherings or group dinners :)
Hanjangeo's self-bar changes with the seasons
Hanjangeo has a self-bar where you can refill as much as you like. I hear winter snacks are sweet potato, white rice cake and aged kimchi, and in summer it's corn, soteok (sausage and rice cake skewers), mushrooms and grilled scallions. I like that the self-bar changes a little with the seasons haha
The self-bar has this much variety.
There's pa-kimchi (scallion kimchi), which my husband loves~ And since there are scallions and rice cake, we always grill them together with the eel!!! The real kick at Hanjangeo might be the scallions and rice cake..❤️
On top of the basic side dishes, I loaded up at the self-bar. The doraji muchim (seasoned bellflower root) was so good too.. Hanjangeo does every single side dish well.
Does Hanjangeo grill the freshwater eel for you?
The freshwater eel for two at Hanjangeo Baegun is quite big and plump!! The server (we call her imo-nim, "auntie") lays the eel nicely on the grill, and if she isn't busy she helps with all the grilling too!
Grilling eel is surprisingly hard at first.. Eel grilled at home makes the place smell a lot, so even if it costs a bit more, eating it out like this is the tastiest and easiest.
She sprinkles on the salt, trims the eel, and grills us thick, meaty pieces~ Look at that white flesh, so thick and plump!!!!❤️
Scallions and garatteok grilled in eel fat
She puts scallions and rice cake on the side of the grill too. Meeting the eel fat, they're seriously chewy and delicious! At Hanjangeo, always grill the scallions and garatteok (long cylinder rice cake) together with the eel.
She stands them up side by side to cook the eel. I'm a true grown-up now who can buy eel for myself!!!
Hanjangeo's doenjang jjigae and rice
We ordered doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) at Hanjangeo too. My husband has been a rice guy lately, so we got the stew and bowls of rice! The doenjang jjigae was refreshing and spicy and delicious. Koreans run on rice power,, and without stew and rice it would feel like something's missing!
The eel looks so appetizing.. Stood up neatly like that, it looks so pretty too!!!!
How to eat Hanjangeo's eel for the best flavor
My way of eating well-cooked eel at Hanjangeo is wrapped in a leaf with ginger and soy sauce. The only day I eat ginger = eel day. Who came up with eel and ginger together? It feels lacking without ginger.. The soy sauce is the best sauce too! Personally, wrapping it in lettuce with a slice of mu-ssam (pickled radish wrap) is the tastiest haha
It's super good wrapped in a perilla leaf too~ No fishy smell or muddy taste(?) at all, just really delicious eel!!
Clean, mild eel. Eel is high in protein and healthy, so let's eat lots and lots.. I gave the tail entirely to my husband ^.^ Honestly I prefer the body part haha hehe
Is eel for two enough for two people?
The freshwater eel for two at Hanjangeo vanished in no time as we the two of us happily kept making wraps. Last time we ordered extra, but this day we had rice too and I was about to burst. With the April discount it's a total win!!! Hanjangeo, the eel spot by Baegun Lake, was satisfying again even on a repeat visit.
On the way out we grabbed a coffee to finish~~~~
