Ginger strips, baek-kimchi (white kimchi), pickled perilla leaves, pickled onions, fresh kimchi, lettuce wraps, garlic, and peppers — all the essential side dishes for grilled eel are neatly laid out. It's convenient that you can help yourself to as much as you want if you run low! ## Generous side dishes and a free bottle of bokbunja ![Basic table setting served alongside the grilled eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-10-19ido-900.webp) ![Ginger strips and pickled perilla leaf side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-11-7hbzm-900.webp) ![Bright, tangy fresh kimchi side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-12-r3u68-900.webp) ![Complimentary bottle of bokbunja wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-13-1jyiy-900.webp) The basic table setting includes ginger strips, baek-kimchi, pickled perilla leaves, pickled onions, and a bright, tangy fresh kimchi that pairs well with eel. And as a standard freebie, you get a bottle of bokbunja (Korean raspberry wine)!! Mixing the sweet bokbunja with soju and cider in the right ratio makes 'bokso-sa,' and drinking it alongside the savory eel with the refreshing fizz was a great pairing for a light drink haha ## Thick, chewy and tender freshwater eel ![A plate of prepped freshwater eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-14-1pwlp-900.webp) ![Freshwater eel, raw pork belly, and duck neck set](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-15-4xmt2-900.webp) Look at that color~~!! Ordering the all-you-can-eat gets you prepped freshwater eel, thick raw pork belly, and duck neck! ![Freshwater eel placed skin-side down on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-16-szve9-900.webp) The freshwater eel goes on the grill skin-side down first, then gets flipped as it browns. The charcoal heat was just right, so the eel browned and crisped up on the outside while the moisture and richness inside stayed intact — or that's how it felt?! ![Eel browning nicely over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-17-19mh0-900.webp) ![A piece of grilled eel dipped in teriyaki-style sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-18-yg78r-900.webp) ![Grilled freshwater eel wrapped in baek-kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-19-1i0e4-900.webp) Tasting a well-grilled piece of eel plain, with no sauce, the texture was tender with no dryness at all. The more you chew, the more that clean, savory eel flavor comes through — so good!! Dipped in the teriyaki-style sauce, it cuts the richness nicely, and wrapped in tangy pickled perilla leaves or crunchy baek-kimchi, the savory eel and the tang of the kimchi played off each other really well haha ## Pork belly and duck neck at Songnim Bok Jangeo were just as good ![Thick raw pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-20-1rc82-900.webp) ![Duck neck grilled alongside the other meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-21-zha58-900.webp) The pork belly grilled alongside was thick, with juicy, savory bites, and the duck neck's distinctive chewy texture was a real treat! Eating just eel the whole time can get monotonous on the grill, so being able to throw in pork and duck in between is a nice bonus haha — keeps you from getting sick of it,,,, ## Finishing with cold buckwheat makguksu ![A bowl of cold buckwheat noodles with bits of ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-22-6pd40-900.webp) ![Cold noodles topped with cucumber and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu/songrim-eel-buffet-ansan-gojan-makguksu-23-6ya29-900.webp) After finishing the grilled eel, I ordered cold buckwheat noodles (mul-makguksu) to freshen up my palate! It comes in a large bowl filled with icy-cold broth with bits of ice floating on top! The crunchy cucumber and pickled radish go well with the cold noodles, and it really cleans out any greasy aftertaste left from the eel! A clean, satisfying flavor that's more than enough as a meal-ending side dish. A truly enjoyable day, wrapped up perfectly! ## What we liked about Songnim Bok Jangeo Ansan City Hall store - Reasonable pricing at around ₩30,000 per person, letting you eat freshwater eel as much as you want without holding back - Pork belly and duck neck served alongside eel for variety so you don't get tired of it - Self-serve bar with lettuce wraps, side dishes, and meat kept clean and well-managed - A free bottle of bokbunja provided as standard, great for mixing 'bokso-sa' with soju and cider - Icy cold buckwheat noodles cut through the eel's richness nicely as a meal finisher!
