Not too pricey for decent eels with a discount. They precook 50% before it is on your barbeque grill which saves time!

They grill the meat over a charcoal fire, and the taste is generally good.
It is nice that the restaurant is spacious.
They serve fried bones along with the lettuce wraps, which are perfect as a snack for soju and beer or just beer.
It is a good place to go with about 3-4 peop
