Booked in advance, the visit swapped grilled eel for eel hotpot rice, where the sauce soaked down into the rice and tasted best wrapped in seaweed with shredded ginger and wasabi. Gochang Pungcheon Eel is a filling pick when you want eel some way other than grilled, and it works for family gatherings or work dinners too. ## Good to know - **Location**: 17-28 Gilju-ro 121beon-gil, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, Unit 134 - **Transit**: About 288m from Exit 8 of Sangdong Station, Line 7 - **Parking**: Available, free - **Salt-grilled eel (300–310g)**: ₩35,000 - **Soy-grilled eel (300–310g)**: ₩35,000 - **Gochujang-grilled eel (300–310g)**: ₩35,000 - **Eel jangsu-tang**: ₩10,000 - **Hours**: 11:30–23:00 (last order 22:00) - **Private room**: Minimum 8–10 people - **Venue rental**: Except Fri/Sat, minimum 30 people - **Other**: Takeout, delivery, reservations available; group-friendly; baby chairs; wifi; separate restrooms; review event: bibim guksu or Ppiddo lottery ticket (one per table) with a Naver receipt review - **Price reference**: ₩35,000 ≈ $25.5 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.3 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Main photo of eel hotpot rice at Gochang Pungcheon Eel in Sangdong, Bucheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-01-12j4r-1200.webp) Today I was hunting for good restaurants in Bucheon, Gyeonggi, and ended up at Gochang Pungcheon Eel, known for its eel hotpot rice.

Some people just can't eat rice without soup! The broth's seasoning was spot on, so enjoy it, haha. ## What is the eel hotpot rice like? ![Hot eel hotpot rice with eel on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-17-1avt9-900.webp) A hot pot~! With eel sitting right on top of the rice. The surface of the eel was grilled to a beautiful color, and the sauce had soaked in deeply. Chopped green onion was scattered on top, so I could smell its aroma along with the eel. When I scooped some rice with my spoon, a big chunk of eel came up with it. ![A big chunk of eel scooped up with a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-18-aw9ck-900.webp) The sauce had soaked into the rice really well too, so I tried a piece of eel together with the rice. Wow... this place gets the eel grilling just right. No fishy taste at all, and it was nice and soft. ![Eel hotpot rice with sauce soaked into the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-19-1euce-900.webp) The sauce was sweet-and-salty and paired really well with the eel's flavor. And of course, hotpot rice is the way to go!!! It has that distinct texture that goes great with eel. ![Eel hotpot rice wrapped in seaweed with shredded ginger and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-20-vn91e-900.webp) The eel hotpot rice was also great with a bit of shredded ginger and wasabi on top, wrapped in seaweed. If you want to eat eel and rice together, I'd recommend ordering it as hotpot rice. ![Finished spread after eating the eel hotpot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang-21-1fzty-900.webp) ## Is Gochang Pungcheon Eel worth a visit? Overall, it was great to try eel hotpot rice, which gives a totally different experience from just eating grilled eel. Wrapping the eel-topped rice in seaweed was, in particular, the tastiest way to eat it. This place is a solid pick if you want to eat both grilled eel and hotpot rice for a filling meal, or if you're looking for eel for a family gathering or work dinner. ## Where it is - Gochang Pungcheon Eel (고창풍천장어) - 17-28 Gilju-ro 121beon-gil, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, Unit 134 - 경기도 부천시 원미구 길주로121번길 17-28 134호 고창풍천장어 - 37.5067346, 126.7553871 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EC%B0%BD%ED%92%8D%EC%B2%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4/@37.5067346,126.7553871,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@drinks-list-pages/bucheon-sangdong-eel-solbap-gochang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
