We ordered two portions but the size was still big — love that. There was a lot, but it was so good we ended up ordering one more portion 🤤 ![Plate of fresh raw eel for two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-09-1g5cd-900.webp) You could tell the eel was fresh even before it was grilled — that's Cheonsanga Jangeoga for you. A good Nowon restaurant to bring your parents to. ![Close-up of prepped freshwater eel before grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-10-1skm8-900.webp) They grill everything for you, so you can just relax and wait. The inside of the restaurant was cool, so even with the hot charcoal brought in it never felt hot at all. Once everything is grilled, just ask and they'll take the charcoal away when you want ~! ![Staff member grilling eel over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-11-rffu9-900.webp) ### Doenjang stew included in the set The doenjang (soybean paste) stew that comes with the set was ladled out for us directly, and we got to enjoy it warm before the eel. It wasn't as salty as I expected, so it was good to eat on its own without rice too, but we ordered rice and had it together. ![Doenjang stew served as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-12-1khl9-900.webp) ![Doenjang stew and rice served in bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-13-1llsp-900.webp) With an eel-grilling expert (?) staff member handling it, we could trust the process 🤍 They were so skilled at prepping and grilling that there wasn't a single burnt bit — everything grilled to perfection haha. ![Staff member skillfully prepping and grilling the eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-14-8iwa3-900.webp) The eel was also cut into nice bite-sized pieces, and the golden-brown grilling was exactly what I like about Cheonsanga Jangeoga. The way it's laid out so neatly — you can just tell they're a pro.. ![Grilled eel cut into bite-sized pieces and neatly arranged](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-15-ggqgr-1200.webp) ![Golden-brown grilled eel on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-16-11a1z-900.webp) The pieces that finished grilling first were moved further from the fire, so we could eat them right away while still warm. Crispy on the outside, soft and tender eel meat inside,, truly delicious. So good for a dinner meal! ![Warm grilled eel set aside off the fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-17-zx9tx-900.webp) ![A piece of eel dipped in teriyaki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-18-jefjn-900.webp) ### Teriyaki sauce + pickled ginger combo Dipping the eel in the teriyaki sauce that pairs so well with it, then adding pickled ginger — it just melts in your mouth,, 🤍 This is the flavor I remember every time I visit this Nowon eel restaurant. ![Grilled eel plated together with pickled ginger](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-19-5rkdn-900.webp) ## Bokbunja and eel soup too Bokbunja, an essential pairing with eel! You have to drink it together ~ ![Bokbunja wine ordered alongside the eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-20-1jvsf-900.webp) The eel and bokbunja combo was great, but eel soup pairs well too, so I'd recommend trying that alongside. Sweet and rich eel soup — such a good combo. ![A rich bowl of eel soup served hot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon/cheonsangae-jangeo-hagye-eel-set-nowon-21-l37qk-900.webp) If you visit Cheonsanga Jangeoga, this Nowon eel restaurant, make sure to try the eel soup too haha.
