Siheung eel buffet for in-laws with ground-floor access: Songrim Bok

Songrim Bok Jangeo's Jeongwang Direct Branch is on the 1st floor at 4 Dasom Maeul 2-gil, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is open Mon–Sun 11:50–23:00, and you can park in front of the restaurant or in the basement lot.

I was visiting my in-laws and wanted to treat them to a stamina meal, and I'd heard the eels here are plump, so we went to Songrim Bok Jangeo's unlimited refill Jeongwang Direct Branch. The taste and value were great, and the whole family, including my father-in-law who has trouble getting around, ate comfortably~ ^^

Is parking easy at Songrim Bok Jangeo Jeongwang?

Parking is easy: there is plenty of space, with a ground-level lot plus a basement lot. The lots are wide, so even beginner drivers can park comfortably.

Is it okay to go with older relatives who have trouble walking?

The restaurant is on the 1st floor, so it's easy to enter, and the hall and the spacing between seats are wide. Once inside, the hall was really spacious, so families and groups looked very doable! The place is clean and tidy, so there were lots of families like us, and some couples on dates too~

Because it's on the 1st floor and the seats are spaced widely, my father-in-law, who has limited mobility, could eat comfortably~

Songrim Bok Jangeo unlimited refill price and time limit

The unlimited refill at the Jeongwang Direct Branch is ₩29,900 per adult, with a separate ₩3,000 table setting fee (no setting fee for children). You get 2 hours.

At under ₩30,000 a person, you can eat as much good-quality eel as you like, so I was excited the moment we walked in ^^

Side dishes and the self-serve bar

After you order, the eel arrives with a set of basic side dishes, and pork belly and chicken neck are also available besides eel. Among the side dishes, the pickled onions and onion kimchi were wonderfully savory and delicious!

Besides eel, pork belly and chicken neck were also set out.

The self-serve bar was neatly stocked with generous amounts, nothing lacking~ I also liked that side dishes such as fresh vegetables and shredded ginger are unlimited and easy to grab at the self-serve bar ^^

Our order: eel first, then chicken neck, then pork belly

At Songrim Bok Jangeo we grilled and ate eel first until we were stuffed, then chicken neck, and finally pork belly. The eel that came out was so thick that I was surprised once, and then it had no fishy smell at all and was nutty and rich, so I was surprised twice!!

After enjoying the eel to the fullest, we grilled chicken neck second. It had no gamey smell at all, and dipped in the oil dipping sauce it was very nutty. For the final "dessert grill" we had pork belly, which you can't skip, and that wrapped up the meat course perfectly ^^

And bokbunja wine (Korean black raspberry wine) is the best match for eel! They sell a variety of other alcohol and drinks too, so it's also perfect for company dinners!!

Is the restroom inside Songrim Bok Jangeo?

The restroom is inside the restaurant, which makes getting around convenient. With my father-in-law's mobility, whether there was a restroom inside the restaurant really mattered, and luckily this place has one inside.

The restroom was cleaned neatly and stocked with toilet paper, so it was clearly very well kept!!

After the meal: eel extract and other products

On the way out after eating, you can browse the eel extract and various other products the restaurant sells itself, which added a little fun right to the end.

How was it as a stamina meal for the in-laws?

Both of my in-laws were very happy, because they could eat thick, non-fishy eel to their heart's content without worrying about holding back! Parking is easy, the restaurant is clean, and there's even a restroom inside, so we plan to come back with the family soon ^^ If you're looking for a proper, good-value stamina food spot in Siheung, definitely give it a visit!
