I had hitsumabushi at a window table over a work lunch and loved the lightly seasoned, tender eel; private rooms also make it look great for gatherings and family meals. Verdict: A place I’d return to when I want a properly satisfying eel meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: E101 and E102, 1F Building A, 165 Gonghang-daero, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–22:00 - **Last order**: 20:50 - **Parking**: One Grove parking available; free parking is validated with payment - **Menu**: Hitsumabushi ₩38,000 - **Seating**: Window seats and rooms for larger groups *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* I went to a great eel rice bowl place at One Grove in Magok to recharge with an eel rice bowl alongside Blog Fan No. 1. One Grove has all kinds of restaurants, and I’d been curious because the food always looked so upscale whenever I passed by. It was such a happy lunch break—I hadn’t had a proper eel dish in ages. ![Visiting One Grove in Magok for an eel rice bowl meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-01-1wu8u-900.webp) ## Location and parking at One Grove by Magok Station The restaurant is Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa One Grove Branch.

With its upscale feel and beautifully presented dishes, it was great for a work lunch like ours, but would also be perfect for a date or a family meal. ![Neatly arranged restaurant seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-08-1rg6a-900.webp) ![Interior suited to work lunches and family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-09-1ry76-900.webp) We were shown to a window table, and there were also rooms that could seat larger groups. ![Space with window seats and a room for groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-10-smrfw-900.webp) Even though we visited at 11:30, there were quite a few people there. ![Restaurant interior with lunch-hour diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-11-d06wa-900.webp) ## Hitsumabushi ₩38,000 Hitsumabushi (₩38,000) ![Hitsumabushi menu and price information](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-12-i5q14-900.webp) Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa serves food based on the traditional eel cuisine of Nagoya, Japan, so it had many dishes that were a little different from typical grilled eel. ![Nagoya-style eel dish menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-13-1vxai-900.webp) Along with hitsumabushi, it was nice that you could try a broad range of Japanese dishes, including sashimi set meals and tempura set meals. ![Eel being grilled for hitsumabushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-14-tzcwt-900.webp) *You can watch it being grilled.* Its signature dish is Nagoya-style hitsumabushi made with two-thirds of a whole grilled eel, so we all ordered that! ![Hitsumabushi set with two-thirds of a whole eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-15-1fv0g-900.webp) ## Trying the eel in different ways Rather than eating it all at once like a regular eel rice bowl, the special thing is dividing it up and enjoying it several ways. - Scoop out the eel and rice as is to enjoy the eel’s natural flavor - Eat it with the accompanying condiments - Pour in broth or tea and enjoy it like ochazuke (rice in tea or broth) It was one dish, but the flavor changed depending on how I ate it, which was more fun than I expected. I first tried just the eel and rice; perhaps because it was charcoal-grilled, it was crisp and pleasantly chewy. It was mild, and the eel’s distinctive nutty richness came through nicely. ![Charcoal-grilled eel and rice served as is](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-16-hukz5-900.webp) ![Mild and chewy eel rice bowl set](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-17-rcemg-900.webp) If eel is seasoned too strongly, you can get tired of it quickly when eating it with rice, but the seasoning here was not overpowering, which I really liked. The side dishes totally hit the spot too.. ![Hitsumabushi side dish selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-18-1wayw-900.webp) Most of all, the eel flesh was so tender!! ![Golden-brown, moist eel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-19-c14ia-900.webp) The outside was nicely browned while the inside felt moist, so it was amazing with the rice. At the end, I poured in the broth. The warm broth made it softer and gave it a completely different feel from the eel I’d eaten before. ![Eel ochazuke with broth poured over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-20-4drd2-900.webp) If you like eel but find ordinary grilled eel or eel rice bowls a little heavy, this could be a good way to try it. ![Hitsumabushi enjoyed with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-21-e44o2-900.webp) Especially because I changed up the accompaniments along the way instead of eating only eel and rice the whole time, I did not get tired of it even at the end. It is not exactly a budget meal, but if you want to experience Nagoya-style eel cuisine, I think it is well worth visiting at least once. It was the place that felt most similar to what I ate in Nagoya. ![A meal of Nagoya-style eel cuisine](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-22-1c4o0-900.webp) Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa One Grove Branch was a great choice when I wanted a proper eel meal in a clean, polished space. ![Eel dishes enjoyed in a clean space](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-23-hyz4c-1200.webp) The eel itself was tender and mild, so people of all ages can enjoy it without feeling burdened. It seems like an ideal spot for a family meal. I liked it enough that I want to revisit for an anniversary. ![Rest area to explore after a meal at One Grove](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch/magok-unagiyondaim-kikukawa-lunch-24-1p2ds-900.webp) One Grove itself has well-designed rest areas, so it is also nice to look around before or after your meal. - If you are looking for a special-occasion meal spot - When you want a meal that feels different from usual - For anyone looking for a good eel rice bowl restaurant at One Grove in Magok The atmosphere is just right for it, so do pay it a visit.
