Useful tips
- There are several grilling styles, so if it's your first time, order a few to share and compare.
- Many people come at lunch for a nourishing meal, so going outside the main mealtime is more comfortable.
- The riverside setting also makes it a good spot for a short walk before or after your meal.
- This is the part that confused me too while looking through the menu: as the Korea Tourism Organization listing shows, there are several styles of grilled eel, so if it's your first time, it's easiest to start with a basic flavor like salt-grilled eel and then choose any add-ons.
- Grilled eel takes time to cook and eat, so if your next stop requires a reservation, leave plenty of room for the meal.
