Before a Kazakhstan trip, we had the special eel bowl, eel-and-egg bowl, and yu rin gi with beer. A satisfying airport-rail lunch. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–23:00 - **Break time**: 14:00–16:00 - **Closed**: Sundays - **Lunch menu**: Eel rice bowls - **Dinner menu**: Grilled eel - **Yu rin gi ordering**: Available as a side only with a lunch special *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* I’m absolutely energized, haha. ![Eel rice bowl meal setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-01-1hgl0-1200.webp) ## Getting to Ryeok Minmul Jangeogui Jeonmunjeom in Sangam-dong ### Restaurant exterior and parking ![Exterior of Ryeok Minmul Jangeogui Jeonmunjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-02-f80ge-966.webp) ![Restaurant exterior and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-03-f4anj-966.webp) Today, we went to Ryeok Minmul Jangeogui Jeonmunjeom (력 민물장어구이전문점), a great eel spot in Sangam-dong! Why Seoul all of a sudden, you ask? We’re off on our summer vacation—to Kazakhstan!!!!!! So we stopped by on the way to Incheon Airport. ### Spacious, tidy interior ![Spacious, tidy restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-04-u7mjy-966.webp) The dining room is spacious and tidy! Apparently, office workers around here often come for lunch gatherings too. ## Lunch eel rice bowl menu ![Eel rice bowl menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-05-1vvou-966.webp) We ordered the special eel rice bowl, eel-and-egg rice bowl, and yu rin gi! It looks like they serve eel rice bowls for lunch and grilled eel for dinner. ## Trying the eel-and-egg bowl and special eel bowl ![Beer served as a daytime drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-06-1046p-966.webp) It had been a while since our last trip to Seoul, so daytime drinks were a must, haha. Soju felt a bit much, so we went for a light beer. ![Yu rin gi side for the lunch special](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-07-10rmw-966.webp) We ordered yu rin gi to get some protein in—so refreshing. Yu rin gi can only be ordered as a side when you order a lunch special! ![A bowl of eel-and-egg rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-08-8i2uh-966.webp) This is the eel-and-egg rice bowl, with eel on top of a soft rolled omelet! As someone who loves both eel and eggs, it’s the perfect menu item for me. Just cut the whole eel into whatever size you like. ![Egg rice bowl topped with whole eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-09-8exxc-966.webp) ![Eel-and-egg rice bowl set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-10-wosv4-966.webp) It also comes with salad, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), seaweed soup, plus cake and yogurt for dessert. ![Salad and chawanmushi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-11-12qzl-966.webp) ![Cake and yogurt dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-12-q0ixs-966.webp) Putting savory eel on top of the sweet rolled omelet really gives you energy. ![A bowl of special eel rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-13-12wpp-966.webp) This is the special eel rice bowl at Ryeok Minmul Jangeogui Jeonmunjeom, a great place for a Sangam-dong lunch gathering! It even has cute ginseng in it, haha. ![Special eel rice bowl with ginseng](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-14-1pm75-966.webp) They say the eel rice bowl is extra tender because it is flavored with house-made eel tare sauce, then repeatedly steamed and grilled in the traditional Nagoya style! ![Nagoya-style eel rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-15-7tvm9-966.webp) Cut it into four portions and enjoy it in different ways. ![Eel rice bowl with sansho pepper powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-16-vpj8j-966.webp) Sprinkle on sansho pepper powder to taste. I’m a fan of it, so I added plenty. ![Pickled mustard greens and eel rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-17-dokty-966.webp) I also mixed it with pickled mustard greens. I liked that there were thin strips of eel and egg omelet too. ![Eel rice bowl enjoyed as ochazuke](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-18-1w4a3-966.webp) There’s also a way to eat an eel rice bowl as ochazuke (green-tea rice soup): with green tea, seaweed flakes, and scallions. Personally, though, I liked the classic way best—rice topped with ginger, wasabi, and eel, haha. ![Directions for DMC Station Exit 9](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-19-1cemh-900.webp) Come out of Exit 9 at DMC Station and turn right in—it’s right there! ## A filling lunch before taking the airport rail ![Eel rice bowl lunch before departure](https://img.superchart.com/images/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight-20-awddd-966.webp) We came here for lunch at DMC Station, close to Gimpo Airport, to kick off our Kazakhstan trip. If you’re about to fly out, the airport rail is easy to reach—so how about an energizing final Korean meal at Ryeok: an eel rice bowl! ## Where it is - Ryeok Minmul Jangeogui Jeonmunjeom (력 민물장어구이전문점) (력 민물장어구이전문점) - 1F, 37 Seongam-ro 15-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 성암로15길 37 1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 성암로15길 37 1층 - 37.5773125, 126.8964448 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A0%A5%20%EB%AF%BC%EB%AC%BC%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4%EC%A0%84%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5773125,126.8964448,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-bowl-corner/dmc-eel-lunch-before-flight/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
