At 90ml, it was easy to just drink in one go. Right from the start it really felt like an eel specialty restaurant. ![Basic banchan setup with leafy greens and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-08-19ehi-966.webp) ![Scallion kimchi and chive namul side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-09-x5qto-966.webp) ![Self-serve bar for adding more banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-10-15v7y-966.webp) The basic banchan (side dishes) were set out generously too. Leafy greens for wraps, salad, scallion kimchi, chive namul, white kimchi — quite a variety. The side dishes seemed to go really well with grilled eel. If you run low, you can grab more from the self-serve bar. Being able to help yourself without feeling awkward about it was really convenient. ![Charcoal brazier brought to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-11-1gr62-966.webp) ## Charcoal salt-grilled eel, cooked tableside by the staff After a short wait, the charcoal came out. The charcoal itself looked really good quality. ![Prepped domestic eel served for grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-12-1x404-966.webp) ![Raw eel prepared and plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-13-1l9ib-966.webp) The prepped eel came out next. Staff were continuously prepping eel back in the kitchen, so it kept coming out fast. A staff member grills the eel for you, sprinkling on salt as it cooks. ![Eel being salted and grilled over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-14-chfgf-966.webp) ![Staff member flipping the eel while grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-15-1swid-966.webp) They flipped it around carefully so it wouldn't burn. The flesh was turning white as it cooked through nicely. ![Salt-grilled eel with the flesh turning white as it cooks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-16-1wzw2-966.webp) ![Eel cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-17-ov8ct-966.webp) While grilling, they trimmed off any unnecessary bits and cut it into easy-to-eat pieces. Once it was cooked enough, they cut it into bite-sized portions. It was cooked to a nice golden brown, looking so appetizing. Partway through I thought it looked done enough to eat, but the staff said it needed a bit more time — haha. If we'd been grilling it ourselves, we probably would've eaten it a bit undercooked. Once pieces were done, they moved them off to the side so they wouldn't burn. ![Close-up of golden-brown grilled eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-18-m6rpg-966.webp) ![Fully cooked eel moved to the edge of the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-19-1atd1-966.webp) ## How does the eel at Jangsuchon Pungcheon taste? The edges were slightly crisp and the center was moist — great grilled eel. Since the staff grilled it exactly right, it was really satisfying. ![A thick piece of grilled eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-20-182lg-966.webp) ![Grilled eel wrapped in leafy greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-21-18dmm-966.webp) We wrapped it in lettuce and ate it with the chive namul too. The eel was thick and not dry or fibrous, so it was easy to eat. ![Complimentary king oyster mushrooms and rice cake skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-22-1b49d-966.webp) ### Free finish: king oyster mushrooms and rice cake skewers Right as we were finishing up the eel, king oyster mushrooms and rice cake skewers (tteokkkochi) came out as a free service. ![King oyster mushrooms grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-23-1nf9p-966.webp) ![Staff member grilling rice cake skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner-24-y6pyg-966.webp) The staff grilled the king oyster mushrooms and rice cake skewers for us too. Since they grilled it all so well, all we had to do was chat and eat. ## 2kg of eel between two people: is Jangsuchon Pungcheon good for a company dinner? Two of us ate 2kg of eel between us, and we ended up very full. Since staff grill it directly over the charcoal, you never end up with burnt or undercooked bites — it comes to you cooked just right every time. No fishy smell either, and the eel was plump and tasty. If you're looking for a company dinner or gathering spot near Yangjae Station, this is worth checking out. The restaurant is quite spacious and the food is good, so you won't regret it. ## Where it is - Jangsuchon Pungcheon Eel (장수촌풍천장어) - 6 Dogok-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 도곡로4길 6 - 37.4894939, 127.0332087 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%A5%EC%88%98%EC%B4%8C%ED%92%8D%EC%B2%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4/@37.4894939,127.0332087,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@changcheon-narrow-booth/jangsuchon-pungcheon-eel-yangjae-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
