Gwangju eel restaurant private rooms, tablet ordering: Yuil Jangeo
Yuil Jangeo is a self-grill eel restaurant on Donggok-ro in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, run directly by its own eel farm. At Yuil Jangeo you pick your fish at the seafood counter — the signature Pungcheon freshwater eel is 29,000 won for 1kg (600g filleted) — then get a private room with tablet ordering, pay a 4,000 won table charge covering charcoal, side dishes and the self-bar, and finish with eel soup at 5,900 won. The writer's parents called it the best eel they had ever eaten, and the large parking lot makes Yuil Jangeo an easy choice for group meals.
