Siheung eel buffet with duck neck, ₩29,900: Songrim Bok Jangeo

I was looking for a place in Siheung where I could eat eel until I was full, and that's how I ended up at Songrim Bok Jangeo Freshwater Eel Unlimited Refill Jeongwang Direct Branch. Eel is usually the kind of dish you can't eat freely because of the price, but here you can enjoy freshwater eel unlimited refill, so it's great for a day when I really wanted to dig in.

I was especially looking forward to this place because they say they hand-prepare live eel fresh every day. Along with the eel, you can also eat duck neck meat and pork belly, so instead of just eating eel over and over, I liked that I could enjoy a bit of variety.

All-you-can-eat freshwater eel for ₩29,900 per adult

The biggest reason I visited Songrim Bok Jangeo was, of course, the unlimited freshwater eel refill. Even if you love eel, the price can make you hesitate to order more — here you can grab as much as you want without that kind of burden, which was the biggest advantage.

How the live eel tastes grilled over charcoal at the table

They grill the eel right on the charcoal until it's golden brown, and honestly, eel really is best eaten fresh and hot off the grill. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside — the savory flavor really came through.

They say they hand-prepare live eel fresh every day, and it definitely didn't feel like a place that skimps on quality just because it's unlimited refill. Being able to grab as much as I wanted and grill it right away really let me experience the appeal of unlimited eel refill in Siheung.

Duck neck meat and pork belly included in the same refill

Unlike places where only the eel is unlimited, being able to also eat duck neck meat and pork belly made a surprisingly big difference. No matter how much you love eel, eating just one thing over and over can get a little tiring, but grilling different meats in between made the meal feel much more varied.

Both eel lovers and meat lovers can visit together and each order what they want, which seemed great for a family meal spot. The more people who visit together, the more satisfying this kind of lineup probably feels.

Who Songrim Bok Jangeo in Siheung suits best

Considering how much eating out costs these days, being able to eat as much eel as you want while also enjoying duck neck meat and pork belly was definitely appealing. If you love eel and want to eat your fill, this is a way to enjoy it with much less price pressure than at a regular eel restaurant.

Personally, what I liked most was that even with unlimited refill, they still hand-prepare live eel themselves.
