This time I'm introducing Una Magok as a restaurant worth knowing about in One Grove, Magok. There are quite a lot of menu options when eating in One Grove Mall, and on this day I wanted something a bit heartier and more special than usual, so I went with the eel rice bowl.

Una Magok, the eel restaurant inside One Grove Mall in Magok

Una Magok is an eel specialty restaurant on the 1st floor of K-Square Magok Tower 2 in One Grove Mall, Magok. One Grove Mall has been catching my eye lately whenever I'm looking for a new place to eat in Magok — it's a space where you can handle shopping, work, or meetings all at once, so it naturally becomes a go-to spot for meals too.

Among those options, Una Magok is worth keeping an eye on if you like eel.

Eel isn't really something you eat casually — it's more the kind of food that comes to mind when you want to properly enjoy a meal. So on this day too, instead of an ordinary lunch, I visited Una hoping for something a bit more satisfying.

How was the eel rice bowl at Una Magok?

What I ordered at Una Magok that day was the eel rice bowl.

The eel rice bowl looks filling just by sight — with eel piled on top of warm rice, the visual alone was pretty mouthwatering.

The eel's characteristic savory, soft texture combined with the umami of the sauce went really well with the rice, so every spoonful felt satisfying. Eel can be disappointing when it's too dry, but here the soft eel paired with the rice made for a really stable combination.

Eating the eel on its own versus eating it with the rice gave a different feeling each time, so I ended up savoring it slowly. Anyone who already likes eel would be satisfied with this menu, and I thought I made the right call choosing the eel rice bowl at Una Magok that day.

Eel rice bowl with a cold draft beer

What made the meal at Una Magok that day even more satisfying was the draft beer. After enjoying the eel rice bowl, having a glass of draft beer alongside completely changed the mood of the meal. Eating the rich, savory eel and then taking a sip of cold draft beer left my mouth feeling refreshed and clean — the pairing worked really well.

For lunch, the eel rice bowl alone would be plenty filling, but for a more relaxed dinner, I'd also recommend adding draft beer.

Especially on this day, enjoying the eel rice bowl together with draft beer gave me the feeling of 'today I really ate well' — the satisfaction level was high.

Dessert at Una Magok: green tea ice cream

To finish off the meal, I had matcha ice cream for dessert. After fully enjoying the rich flavors of the eel rice bowl and draft beer, finishing with matcha ice cream felt like a clean, refreshing ending.

The subtle bitterness of matcha paired with the cool ice cream worked really well as a post-meal dessert.

I think this is part of why my satisfaction was so high that day. Eating the eel rice bowl, enjoying the draft beer, and finishing with matcha ice cream — the flow of the meal connected naturally from start to finish.

It wasn't just a bowl of eel rice and done — it felt like I properly enjoyed the meal, the drink, and the dessert all together.
