What is Hanjangeo Baegun like?
Hanjangeo Baegun (한장어 백운점) is a freshwater eel grill restaurant near the eel alley by Baegun Lake in Uiwang. Around Baegun Lake there are outlets, pretty cafés and, surprisingly, lots of good restaurants, and the eel alley is one of them. I'd been to other places there, but this time I found a hidden gem I hadn't known about: Hanjangeo Baegun!!
In April they even had a ₩10,000 discount going, so the eel was ₩58,000. The parking lot is big and the inside is huge too, so it's perfect for family gatherings or group get-togethers, and I loved eating well in that quiet, healing Baegun Lake atmosphere.
I think the price is reasonable even without the discount, and with the discount plus decent prices on the sides, I was satisfied all around!!!! There's no separate table setting fee either, so good haha. And there are lots of pretty cafés nearby, so it's easy to go for coffee after your meal, and a casual loop around Baegun Lake takes under an hour, so it feels like a perfect course.
Hanjangeo Baegun was running an event.
Atmosphere, seating and opening hours at Hanjangeo Baegun
The hall is really big and there are private rooms too, so if you just reserve ahead you can eat comfortably :) I avoided the awkward lunch hours, so it was quiet and I got to eat in peace.
The address is 18 Neungan-gil, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi, South Korea, 1st floor (lot-number address: 42 Naeson-dong), and it's open daily 11:00-21:00.
What about the self-serve bar and side dishes?
The self-serve bar is neat and tidy, and eel is different from meat and hard to grill, but the staff grilled it all deliciously for us. The basic side dishes come out nicely, but some items are only at the self-serve bar, so take a look around and bring back what you like. Personally, the kkaennip jangajji (pickled perilla leaves) was really good. Everything else was neatly stocked one by one too, so good, good.
What did we order at Hanjangeo Baegun?
At Hanjangeo Baegun, freshwater eel is the basic order, and we got doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and rice with it. You can also add them as extra orders. They sell fresh beef rib meat and seasoned pork neck too, and there's a wide range of meal dishes.
- Eel soup
- Janchi guksu (banquet noodles)
- Bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles)
- Yeolmu guksu (young radish kimchi noodles)
- Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)
- Steamed egg and more
They even had friendly instructions on how to grill the eel well!!!
Is the doenjang jjigae a must-order at Hanjangeo Baegun?
The spicy doenjang jjigae we ordered later at Hanjangeo Baegun was seriously good. Order it, no question! The side dishes come out neat, and above all you can really taste the anchovy broth, and the spicy, hot kick was totally my taste.
How did the eel taste at Hanjangeo Baegun?
The eel at Hanjangeo Baegun came out fresh and really thick, and the staff prepared it themselves, grilled it nicely and cut it up for us, aww. The side dishes were neat, and with the main eel this thick and fresh, we just kept eating without saying a word haha.
Eel goes with bokbunja (Korean black raspberry wine), but sadly I had my car so I couldn't have any... Bokbunja with eel is honestly the best lol. T_T
I also grabbed a rice cake from the self-serve bar and grilled it, and it was chewy and even better grilled over the charcoal.
This pickled perilla leaf goes so well with the eel that I went back for more several times. Eaten together, it wasn't greasy at all, just totally clean and delicious.
The doenjang jjigae packed with tofu and zucchini was good, good too. They have noodles as well, so next time it might be nice to have noodles with the eel.
It's honestly one of the tastiest doenjang jjigae I've had lately. A doenjang jjigae hotspot!!!!!
Do I recommend Hanjangeo Baegun as an eel restaurant near Baegun Lake in Uiwang?
Whether you eat it with ginger strips or just dip it in the sauce, Hanjangeo Baegun's eel is delicious. I think I'll be craving it again soon. It's getting hotter, and this is exactly when you should eat samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) or something that gives you energy, and eel is the best for that haha.
If you're looking for a good restaurant near Baegun Lake in Uiwang, I recommend Hanjangeo Baegun. It's good for gatherings and dates, and with the flavor and freshness both great, I'm happy to recommend it.
