(43 reviews)Supsok Jangeochon is a well-known spot favored by Korean celebrities, set in a rustic space of stacked firewood and ochre earthen walls that feels like a small forest lodge. The restaurant serves only salt-grilled eel — no marinades — and its signature freshwater eel is grilled over charcoal on a slightly domed wire mesh so fat drains away beneath the grill, keeping the flesh clean and not overly greasy. For 1,000 KRW extra you can add a meal set with steamed rice and doenjang-guk (soybean paste soup).
