Gwangju Donggok-ro eel restaurant, 4 servings on 3 plates: Yuil Jangeo
Yuil Jangeo is a freshwater eel restaurant that sells direct from its own tanks on Donggok-ro in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, near Pyeongdong. For a birthday dinner with parents, a party of four picked their eel at the seafood display case and ordered 4 servings, which came out as 3 generous plates of pre-grilled eel finished over charcoal at the table. There is a wait on weekend evenings, but the wide parking lot and private rooms make Yuil Jangeo an easy choice for a meal with parents.
