That's 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch (99장어88 수원호매실본점). ![Exterior of 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-04-znd08-900.webp) ![Entrance of the Suwon Homaesil eel restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-05-s5fy0-900.webp) It exceeded my expectations. ## Is parking easy at 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch? 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch has a very well-equipped building parking lot, so it was convenient to visit by car. The parking space was ample and the layout was easy even for beginner drivers. If you're driving, worrying about parking is often the first thing on your mind before you even get to the restaurant. Especially on weekends or in the evening, a cramped lot can stress you out from the entrance. Here, there was zero stress from parking, which put me in a good mood right from the start. This was a Suwon Homaesil eel restaurant that earned a passing grade before I'd even sat down. ![Building parking lot and entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-06-1h9tn-900.webp) ## What banchan come with the eel? The banchan (side dishes) at 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch consist of pickled onion, pickled perilla leaves, sharp ginger strips, and fresh lettuce. Walking in, a clean and pleasant interior greeted me, and after being seated by staff, the basic spread was set out. Eel itself is a fairly fatty dish, so an overloaded side dish spread can actually undercut the main dish's flavor. Here, though, only the essential core banchan were prepared, clean and neat, and I really liked that. The crisp onion, perilla leaves, and the fragrant ginger strips that are essential with eel all did their job of lifting up the eel's distinctive flavor. ![Pickled onion and pickled perilla leaf banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-07-1vrtm-900.webp) ![Basic table setting with ginger strips and lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-08-foaa3-900.webp) ## How the self-grilled eel tasted 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch runs on a self-grill system where guests cook the eel themselves. When you grill it yourself, you naturally start paying much more attention to the quality of the eel. When the main eel finally arrived, I couldn't hide my amazement. Even at a glance, the thickness, the meaty texture, and the glossy freshness were striking. I laid the eel on the grill and started browning it, and as it cooked, a savory aroma spread and really stirred up my appetite. ![Thick eel grilling on the table grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-09-1wvt4-900.webp) ![Eel browning nicely on self-serve grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-10-6pacm-900.webp) I tried a well-browned piece of eel plain first, with nothing dipped on it. The outside was crisp while the inside stayed soft and juicy, and it really felt like it melted in my mouth. There was no fishy smell or off-taste at all — just a deep, clean, savory flavor that was pure eel. I also dipped freshly grilled eel with a bit of sharp ginger strips into the special sauce, and wrapped a big bite in fresh lettuce and perilla leaves, which filled my mouth with happiness. The combination with the banchan was so good that I could enjoy it without any greasiness down to the very last piece. It really lived up to its reputation as a top Suwon eel restaurant. ![Close-up of a fully grilled piece of eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-11-1d7qa-900.webp) ![Eel wrap with ginger strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-12-n3mzh-900.webp) The staff were also really kind.

Since the eel quality I tasted in the restaurant was so good, my trust in the eel extract naturally followed. Buying some as a gift or for energy recovery after a meal like this could be a good choice. ![Table after finishing the grilled eel meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-21-1k1xt-900.webp) ![Interior view of 99Jangeo88 Suwon Homaesil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill/suwon-homaesil-eel-self-grill-22-1wkfy-900.webp) ## Would I go back to 99Jangeo88?
