Jang-eo Jip (장어집)

This eel restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The grilled eel was incredibly fresh, tender, and full of flavor, with a perfectly balanced sweet and savory sauce. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The portions were generous, and the eel was grilled just right crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The side dishes were also well prepared and complemented the main dish nicely. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, making it a great place for a relaxed meal, whether with family or friends. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the dining experience even better. If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy authentic Korean style grilled eel, I would highly recommend this restaurant. I’d definitely come back again.

I would describe this place like a warm sweater on a cool day. We discovered this place by accident. There are only 3 tables inside, I think there are a few more in the back outside. This is some of the best grilled eel I've ever had, including in Korea and Japan, but at Palisades Park. The eel soup was surprisingly hearty and feels very home like. As I was eating everything, I felt like I was at someone's house. The side dishes are second to none. They have their own spin on things and they did a great job. This really feels like you're eating at someone's house. It's on my top Korean restaurants now

Great place and good food. Small, only a few tables but everyone is friendly. Small husband and wife business. They are the best and food is great.

The food is delicious. The lady is very nice. I love their seafood pancake. It’s very thick. It has a lot of squid. I think their eel is pretty fresh, not heavily seasoned. so if you like something heavily seasoned ,that might be not for you, I think generally people prefer the seasoned eel.

Firstly, the portion size was very small. The amount for two servings was just enough to fit on a plate around 15 cm in diameter, which was barely enough for the two of us to eat. Secondly, the price was expensive! From previous posts, one serving was about $27.50, and they required a minimum of two servings. But today, when we went, it had increased to nearly $33, so just for the two of us to eat eel cost over $70. Considering the portion size, it was really not worth it! Additionally, previous visitors mentioned that they were given eel soup and a scallion pancake, but today we were told that the scallion pancake costs $15. Also, the grilled fish didn't come with rice, which was really disappointing. Thirdly, the taste was poor! The key to eating grilled eel is the sauce, but the eel her
