Daechi-dong eel rice bowl restaurant with a 2pm window seat: Manmok
Manmok is a Japanese restaurant specialising in eel rice bowls (unagi donburi), located between Seonleung Station and Daechi-dong in Gangnam, Seoul. A couple who missed the eel rice bowls they used to eat in Japan drove over, arrived at 2pm, took a window seat, and each ordered the whole eel rice bowl at 39,000 won, served with chawanmushi, white kimchi, radish salad, and matcha or black tea ice cream. Manmok's eel was grilled until soft and tasted remarkably close to what the couple remembered from Japan.
