Icheon ‘Imgeumnim Pungcheon Jangeo’ Eel Restaurant Review
A review of the newly opened Imgeumnim Pungcheon Jangeo in Icheon, featuring high-quality eel and a butcher-style dining experience.
Icheon ‘Imgeumnim Pungcheon Jangeo’
Today’s post is about the newly opened ‘Imgeumnim Pungcheon Jangeo’ located in Icheon.
Icheon is famous for its rice, which was historically served to kings. I visited with high expectations that this place would serve eel delicious enough for a king to enjoy.
The walls are covered with numerous celebrity autographs.
The owner previously ran an eel restaurant in the Guri area before expanding and relocating here, so there is a deep sense of tradition.
Here is the menu.
It operates like a butcher-style restaurant where you purchase your eel first and then grill it. The table setting fee is very generous.
This is the basic table setting. Vegetables and side dishes are unlimited; you can just go and help yourself. I ended up eating a ton of vegetables later on.
As you know, the final course for an eel meal is eel soup (Jangeo-tang).
You have to eat the eel soup at the end to cut through the richness of the meal.
The eel was eliminated.
