(5 reviews)
Wando's only dedicated eel-grill, keeping a consistent recipe for 22 years. Vegetables and ssam greens served with meals are grown on-site without pesticides, giving a fresh, organic counterpoint to the rich grilled eel and hearty stews.

Local Tips

  • Order the two-person grilled eel for a generous portion of tender, flavorful eel.
  • Meals come with on-site grown organic vegetables and ssam greens — a refreshing contrast to the rich eel.
  • Pair the eel with a two-person maeuntang (catfish or crab) or get gonggi-bap to soak up the sauce; takeout is available.
