I had plans near Musinsa in Seongsu, and it was about a 10-minute walk to Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch, which was perfect👍🏻 The main street in Seongsu gets so crowded, but this place felt like a real local favorite — the kind of spot only insiders know about!! Great place to visit👍🏻👍🏻 ![Clean interior of Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-04-19x64-900.webp) ## How much is all-you-can-eat eel at Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch? The all-you-can-eat price is ₩29,900 per person, plus a ₩3,000 table charge👀🤍 Since the place hasn't been open that long, the interior was overall very clean and I loved that!! ![Sign showing all-you-can-eat price and usage information](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-05-1ad27-900.webp) The time limit is 2 hours, and since eel is really precious, you know to take just as much as you'll finish without leaving any, right?!! They even have a guide on how to grill it deliciously, so I grilled it well while watching haha ![Guide on how to grill eel deliciously](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-06-1hks3-900.webp) ## First round is served, refills are self-serve At Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch, the first plate is brought to you!! Plump eel, pork belly, and chicken neck meat come out✨ The pork belly looked like great quality meat too!! I also love chicken neck meat, so I was curious how it would be. ![First plate of freshwater eel, pork belly and chicken neck meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-07-1ibs4-900.webp) Here's the thing: refills aren't brought to your table, you can freely help yourself at the self-serve bar!!! When you have to ask the owner every time you want more, it gets a little awkward to keep eating, but here everything's ready at the self-serve bar so there's no need to feel self-conscious🥹 You just grab whatever cut you like — isn't that great?!!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 ![Self-serve bar where you can grab meat yourself](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-08-4dggn-900.webp) The basic side dishes come out first! Lettuce, chili peppers, garlic and the like are at the self-serve bar so you just grab them! There are so many solid side dishes to eat with the eel too — ginger, perilla leaves, baek-kimchi (white kimchi) and more🤍 ![Basic side dishes including ginger, perilla leaves and baek-kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-09-1yaha-900.webp) ## The free bottle of bokbunja wine: what's the catch? The biggest perk of Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch is!!!! Getting a whole bottle of bokbunja (Korean black raspberry) wine🩷 I thought the opening event had ended since it started around June, but they said they're still giving it out until the end of August,,, when I asked, they said it would feel bad to stop giving it once they started, but they also said it could end once the opening period runs long, so keep that in mind!! One bottle of bokbunja wine and I was just so happy,,,🩷🩷 They grill the eel thoroughly starting from the skin!! The eel looked delicious just to look at, plump and in great condition👍🏻 ![Plump freshwater eel grilled skin-side down on charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-10-r9kdq-900.webp) They kept grilling it deliciously!! It was almost my first time grilling eel so it wasn't that easy,,,, Cheers with bokbunja wine~~ Eel with bokbunja wine, quite the energizing combo, right?!! Perfect way to end a tough day🤭 ![A bottle of bokbunja wine given as a free service](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-11-1ti7x-900.webp) ![Grilled eel with a glass of bokbunja wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-12-9qnap-900.webp) ## How do the eel, pork belly and chicken neck meat taste? We ate it in all kinds of combinations. Eel really is delicious no matter how you eat it!! With ssam (lettuce wraps), perilla leaves, ginger, garlic and more served generously, it was truly the best!! ![Eel wrap with perilla leaves and ginger](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-13-14duz-900.webp) ![Freshwater eel eaten in various combinations](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-14-fn4cu-900.webp) When you get a little tired of eel, they grill up some pork belly. Pork belly, the soul food of Koreans as always — it was so well cooked and delicious, and after eating eel it tasted extra good in a different way. ![Pork belly grilling on charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-15-dhbcj-899.webp) A partner of the Freshwater Eel Farming Fisheries Cooperative!! Learning that made it feel really trustworthy. ![Extra eel and chewy chicken neck meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local-16-a2rrk-900.webp) The extra eel we grabbed was also super plump and delicious, and the chicken neck meat was chewy and truly a special treat! Such a happy day,,, I want to go again🥺🥺 Take a look at the sizzling video of the eel, pork belly and chicken neck meat before you go! ## Is Songnim Bok Jangeo Seongsu Branch worth it? Eel is expensive and not easy to eat often, but for a price in the high ₩20,000s you can enjoy eel, pork belly, and chicken neck meat all together — the best👍🏻 The Seongsu branch also serves a whole bottle of bokbunja wine as an opening event (not sure until when). Eel + bokbunja wine = happiness🩷 A local favorite that only insiders know about, this Seongsu-dong local restaurant Songnim Bok Jangeo Unlimited Freshwater Eel Seongsu Branch, I really recommend it👍🏻 ## Where it is - Songnim Bok Jangeo Unlimited Freshwater Eel Seongsu Branch (송림복장어 민물장어 무한리필 성수직영점) - 148 Seongdeokjeong-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 성덕정길 148 1층 - 37.5363364, 127.0597499 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%A1%EB%A6%BC%EB%B3%B5%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4%20%EB%AF%BC%EB%AC%BC%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4%20%EB%AC%B4%ED%95%9C%EB%A6%AC%ED%95%84%20%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5363364,127.0597499,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-bowl-list/songnim-eel-unlimited-seongsu-local/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
