Gangnam Japanese restaurant for a rainy-day eel meal: Manmok

In short

Manmok is a Japanese restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul. Just before weekday break time on a rainy day, I had eel rice bowls, silky steamed egg, and matcha or black tea ice cream in its tidy wood-toned space. Verdict: Manmok is a lovely spot for a carefully presented eel meal.

A tidy restaurant in warm wood tones

The restaurant was so clean, and the interior was lovely too. Maybe it is because it has only just opened, but I feel like this clean, tidy atmosphere will stay the same even after a long time. The wood-toned interior and lighting made it feel cozy and really nice.

I prefer restaurants where you can tell they put this much care into the interior too.. My old occupational habit is creeping back in..⚡️

Even the menu was pretty, you know. (?)

Silky steamed egg and shredded radish

First, this is the steamed egg that came with the meal. It was as soft in texture as soft tofu, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.

I especially loved the shredded radish served as a side dish. It was lightly sour radish kimchi!

Thoughtful touches right down to the restroom

Manmok was such a thoughtful restaurant: the restroom was diligently maintained, with lots of kinds of hand wash and hand cream, plus dental floss and mouthwash ready to use 😌

Restroom amenities

And because it was a rainy weekday and just before break time, there was no one there and the atmosphere was lovely :)
