I would have given this a 100 stars! Bbq marinated and normal eel are a stunner! You really have to try it here! The nicely bbq crisp skin with tender texture and the Flavours that burst in your mouth when wrapped in perilla leaves! Hmmm really the biggest highlight of my trip! Would definitely go back again! lovely staff, delicious food :) wide spread of banchan (onion & chive kimchi go very well with the salt grilled unagi). you can request for half-half salt grilled & yangnyeom unagi for the 1 kg portion (which feeds about 2 people) parking is on the street right in front of the restaurant or the surrounding roads - may have to try your luck with finding a lot suggest to go before 8.30 pm in case they run out! highly highly recommend checking this place out :) The owner recommended half and half marinated and non marinated eel. Eel was top notch as well as plenty of side dishes. Highly recommended place to eat eel!

So freaking tasty. The side dishes were amazing. We had 1kg of eel, half and half, for 3 people and 4 huge beers for 108won. The staff were super kind and helped explain menu in English. It was a very bad weather day when we visited so it was about half full.
