The 2-person set comes with eel and snow mushroom grilled tableside over Yeoju charcoal, plus stone-bowl sushi, oyster jeotgal, doenjang jjigae, charcoal-roasted potatoes, and a generous serving of sungnyung (scorched rice tea) on request. The side dishes were so satisfying that this felt like a place worth returning to whenever a proper nourishing meal is needed. ## Good to know - **Location**: Between Sagajeong Station and Myeonmok Station, 1F, 370 Myeonmok-ro, Jungnang-gu, Seoul - **Menu ordered**: 2-person set (한상차림) - **Set composition**: 2- and 3-person sets include stone-bowl sushi, oyster jeotgal, and doenjang jjigae - **Charcoal**: Domestic Yeoju charcoal, grilled by staff - **Self bar**: Refillable ssam vegetables - **Lunch**: Weekday lunch special available - **Service**: Sungnyung (scorched rice tea) provided on request *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Signature grilled eel dish at Cheonsangae Jangeoga Myeonmok Sagajeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-01-lfu2x-966.webp) I was looking for a hearty dinner to boost my energy and ended up at Cheonsangae Jangeoga Myeonmok Sagajeong Branch. ![Exterior of Cheonsangae Jangeoga near Sagajeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-02-1ncpi-966.webp) ## An easy-to-find eel restaurant between Sagajeong and Myeonmok Stations It's located between Sagajeong Station and Myeonmok Station, so it wasn't hard to find at all — a restaurant specializing in nourishing eel dishes, serving fresh eel and a carefully put-together table setting. ![Entrance of the eel restaurant with lunch special signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-03-1bczy-966.webp) They also run a weekday lunch special, so if you want to enjoy eel a bit more affordably, this could be a good pick for lunch in Myeonmok-dong. Inside, the space was spacious and clean, making it a good spot for family meals or gatherings. The staff were friendly too, which made the whole meal feel comfortable. ![Spacious, clean interior seating of the eel restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-04-1doiy-966.webp) ### Ssam vegetables at the self bar, as much as you like At the self bar you could grab various ssam (wrap) vegetables yourself, so it was easy to get more whenever we ran low. ![Self bar where guests can take ssam vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-05-1ivv9-966.webp) ![Ssam vegetables and side dishes at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-06-r8izl-966.webp) ![View of the self bar corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-07-2aju7-966.webp) ![Menu board listing eel set options](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-08-xqalu-966.webp) ![Menu board explaining 2- and 3-person set compositions](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-09-1xaj9-966.webp) ## So what's in the 2- and 3-person sets? The 2- and 3-person sets come with stone-bowl sushi, oyster jeotgal (salted fermented oysters), and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) alongside the eel, which made the meal much more filling than eel alone. It also seemed like a good fit for anyone looking for a bar-restaurant near Sagajeong Station where they can eat and drink together. ![Table set with basic side dishes for the 2-person set](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-10-1as6q-966.webp) We ordered the 2-person set that day. Even before the eel arrived, side dishes started filling the table one by one — ssam vegetables, pickled chives and onions, ginger, pickled peppers, marinated perilla leaves, and more, all good pairings for eel. ![Side dishes including pickled chives and marinated perilla leaves to pair with eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-11-1yrk6-966.webp) ## Eel grilled tableside over Yeoju charcoal The eel is grilled over domestic Yeoju charcoal, and the heat from the charcoal was really strong. ![Plump eel on the Yeoju charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-12-tf8on-966.webp) The eel itself was plump and firm, looking delicious just sitting there. Best of all, a staff member grills it for you directly, so you don't have to worry about the grilling at all and can just eat comfortably. Eel is surprisingly tricky to grill well, so having someone handle it skillfully was great. ![Staff member grilling eel over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-13-nh0ld-966.webp) ### Snow mushroom grilled alongside They also grilled a big snow mushroom together with the eel. Even my partner, who isn't a big mushroom fan, said it was tasty and ate it happily, haha. Grilled over charcoal, the mushroom was soft, moist, and nutty — a great match with the eel. ![Large snow mushroom grilled alongside the eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-14-1l7k4-966.webp) ![Plate of charcoal-grilled snow mushroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-15-1gkqv-966.webp) Eating the eel with the side dishes and ssam vegetables kept it from feeling heavy, so I just kept going. ![A piece of eel on ssam vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-16-1a9v1-966.webp) ![Grilled eel served with basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-17-tjpe1-966.webp) ## Stone-bowl sushi and oyster jeotgal served midway Another fun part of Cheonsangae Jangeoga was the dishes that arrived partway through the meal. Once you're a good ways into the eel, they bring out doenjang jjigae along with stone-bowl sushi you can top with eel, plus oyster jeotgal. ![Stone-bowl sushi and oyster jeotgal included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-18-4xwq4-966.webp) ![Eel served on top of stone-bowl sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-19-1l9lc-966.webp) Eel on top of the stone-bowl sushi was great, and pairing it with the slightly spicy oyster jeotgal was another delicious surprise. With a lineup like this, it seemed like a great place to visit in the evening as a bar-restaurant near Sagajeong Station, with a drink on the side. ![Doenjang jjigae served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-20-6z5y6-966.webp) ### Potatoes pulled out from the charcoal They also brought out potatoes that had been tucked in among the charcoal — cooked to a soft, fluffy texture, a real treat. Eating warm potatoes in between bites of eel was surprisingly filling. ![Fluffy potatoes cooked among the charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-21-85xw0-966.webp) ### Sungnyung, served on request At the end, we heard they serve sungnyung (scorched rice tea) on request, so we asked for some. The portion was much bigger than expected — we were genuinely surprised, haha. ![A generous serving of sungnyung given as a complimentary service](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-22-1ijcs-966.webp) It was warm and savory, the perfect way to wrap up the meal, and eating a bit of oyster jeotgal alongside it paired the spicy-salty flavor nicely with the sungnyung's nuttiness. ![Eel and side dishes laid out together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-23-1uk2n-1200.webp) ![The eel set table at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides-24-1gbv0-966.webp) ## In summary Overall, this was a place where we could enjoy a generous spread from eel to side dishes to dessert. On weekdays, the lunch special makes it a solid, cost-effective option for anyone looking for lunch in Myeonmok-dong, and in the evening it's a good pick as a bar-restaurant near Sagajeong Station to enjoy eel with a drink. Having the eel grilled for us made things easy, and the set was so well put together that this is a place I'd want to come back to next time I need a proper nourishing meal. ## Where it is - Cheonsangae Jangeoga Myeonmok Sagajeong Branch (천상애장어가 면목사가정점) - 370 Myeonmok-ro, 1F, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중랑구 면목로 370 1층 - 37.5849545, 127.0885611 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%9C%EC%83%81%EC%95%A0%EC%9E%A5%EC%96%B4%EA%B0%80%20%EB%A9%B4%EB%AA%A9%EC%82%AC%EA%B0%80%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5849545,127.0885611,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-meal-stool/myeonmok-eel-set-table-grilled-sides/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
