Eel buffet in Yeongjong, Incheon: A Set with gejang sides, Jangsodam

I stopped by Jangsodam for dinner while traveling around Yeongjong. I was torn between wanting eel and wanting meat, and after some searching, this place seemed to have both.

We ordered the A Set! It's a combo of unlimited grilled eel plus beef, pork, and yukhoe (raw beef tartare) — perfect for a day when you want to eat a bit of everything.

When eating with a group, everyone wants something different, which makes ordering a bit tricky. Since you can enjoy eel, beef, and pork all together here, it seemed like a great fit for anyone looking for a Yeongjong restaurant for a group dinner.

What is the dining room at Jangsodam Yeongjong Direct Store like?

The dining room at Jangsodam Yeongjong Direct Store was clean overall and comfortable for eating. It felt easy to bring a group here, making it a good fit for family meals as well as gatherings or work dinners.

Since it's a place for grilling eel and meat, the vibe wasn't overly formal — more like somewhere a group can chat comfortably while eating.

Plus, with such a varied menu lineup, even a large group can order and eat according to their own tastes, which makes it a solid option for anyone searching for a Yeongjong restaurant for group dinners.

What comes with the Jangsodam A Set, from eel to meat

The biggest strength of the A Set is definitely the lineup. The main dish, eel, is unlimited, and it also comes with beef, pork, and yukhoe — much more variety than a set with just one repeated dish.

You can grill eel and then switch to beef and pork in between, so the menu never feels monotonous, and you can add yukhoe before or during grilling to try several things from start to finish.

At most eel restaurants you end up eating only eel, but the Jangsodam A Set definitely stands out for letting you eat eel and meat together.

How the unlimited grilled eel works at Jangsodam

The star of the A Set is, of course, the eel!

Since the eel isn't just a piece or two but unlimited, anyone who loves eel will likely be especially satisfied with this set.

There's also the fun of grilling the eel to a nice golden brown on the pan yourself, and being able to add as much as you want makes it great for bigger eaters too. Especially for a family outing or gathering with several people, it's convenient not having to calculate how many portions of eel to order — everyone just eats as much as they like.

That made me think this would be a good candidate for a family meal during a Yeongjong trip, or as a Yeongjong restaurant for a group dinner.

Beyond eel: beef and pork on the same A Set

After having plenty of eel, we also grilled up some beef and pork. Eating eel non-stop can make you crave another kind of meat, and since the A Set already includes beef and pork, we could switch between different types without ordering anything extra.

Some people love eel, others prefer beef or pork more. The Jangsodam A Set is a menu you can order without worrying much about those differences in taste.

Especially at gatherings or family meals with lots of people, it's often hard to agree on a single dish, so this kind of lineup felt quite practical.

Yukhoe, seasoned crab and soy crab at Jangsodam

On top of that, yukhoe was also included, making the menu even richer. With yukhoe as part of the A Set, we could enjoy a variety of dishes even before starting to grill the eel and meat. Yukhoe had a different feel from the grilled dishes and worked well as a nice change of pace along the way.

And the seasoned crab and soy crab served as side dishes were also more substantial than I expected. At most meat restaurants, crab side dishes tend to come with little meat or a small portion, but here the crab was packed with meat, making it satisfying to pick apart and eat. The seasoned crab was spicy-sweet and paired well between bites of meat, while the soy crab was savory and salty in a way that made me crave rice.

Between unlimited eel, beef, pork, yukhoe, and these well-made crab side dishes, the whole spread felt even more generous. If you like eating a wide variety of things, this could be a satisfying choice as a Yeongjong restaurant for group dinners.

How many people should go to Jangsodam?

After trying the Jangsodam A Set, I personally felt its strengths would come across better with a family outing or group of friends rather than just two people having a simple meal.

With eel, beef, pork, and yukhoe all on offer, everyone can pick what they like, and since the eel is unlimited, there's no need to worry about portions. If you're searching for a Yeongjong restaurant for group dinners with a wide menu selection, this could be a pretty big plus.

It also suits people who prefer grilling and trying a variety of things over ordering just one dish.

Where to eat eel and meat together in Yeongjong, Incheon

After a day of sightseeing around Yeongjong, you start wanting a hearty dinner, and the Jangsodam A Set I tried this time was a good pick for exactly that kind of day.

What stuck with me most was having unlimited eel as the main dish alongside beef, pork, and yukhoe all in one set — and being able to mix in other meats along the way instead of eating only eel gave a lot of variety. Whether it's a family outing, a get-together with friends, or a Yeongjong restaurant for a group dinner where everyone has different tastes, the Jangsodam A Set is worth considering.

People who love eel and people who prefer beef or pork can all eat together here, which made it a especially useful menu choice when dining as a group :)
