The texture of the eel is really crazy.. It tastes just like the outside! 🤤 The quality is different because it is 100% Japonica. In particular, the combination of white wood ear mushrooms grilled in eel oil and shiitake mushroom sauce is a kick that can only be tasted here! I found the eel restaurant of my life. 👍 The atmosphere is so classy. I enjoyed my meal.

I came to give out wedding invitations with my mother and sister! I thought we wouldn't be able to get a room due to the small number of people, but I was impressed that they gave us a room. 8ㅅ8 They cooked it all themselves and we had fun chatting and eating it!! The eel is sturdy and melts in your mouth🤤 My mother loved it so it was a happy meal!! I will come again with my parents!!!🕊🫧

장어구이집이 이렇게 고급지다니..! 회식 장소나 중요한 모임 있으신 분들은 꼭 방문해 보세요 장어도 질 좋은 장어만 사용하신게 느껴지고, 모든 반찬이 손맛 가득 맛있었어요 장어레스토랑 같은 분위기여서 먹고 나왔을때 기분이 좋아져요 ㅎㅎ

​"A successful date with health! A place where I was touched by kindness and fell in love with the taste" ​I chose eel for today's date menu, and I think it was a good thing I came to Gangnam Dogok branch of Eel of Conscience! ​First of all, the atmosphere of the store is so sophisticated and nice that it doesn't feel like a typical eel restaurant, so it's perfect for a date. Above all, the staff were extremely friendly and I felt treated well throughout the meal, which made me happy. 😊 ​The eel was grilled with care from start to finish, so all we had to do was eat while chatting comfortably. The white wood ear mushrooms and grilled vegetables that come with it not only look pretty, but they go well with eel! The eel meat on the outside melts in your mouth. ​It's a place that's delicious, friendly, and has a great atmosphere, so I want to come again next anniversary. Highly recommended to those looking for a date restaurant near Maebong Station!

After watching a movie with my husband, I wanted to eat eel, so I searched and found it!! The store is very clean, the space is well separated, and it's great for family gatherings. Next time, I will come again to eat grilled food^^

도곡동 양심장어 다녀왔는데 넘 만족스럽습니다. 국내산 고창 자포니카 장어라 두께가 장난 아니고 겉바속촉 식감이 예술입니다. 입장하자마자 주시는 논알콜 복분자 음료 웰컴드링크부터 기분이 좋아지더라고요. 우드톤의 세련된 인테리어에 프라이빗한 룸도 있어서 모임 장소로 딱이에요. 상차림비도 없고 직원분들도 너무 친절하셔서 대접받는 느낌 제대로 받고 왔습니다. 브레이크 타임이 없어서 언제든 갈 수 있어요. 재방문 의사 200%입니다👍

I have no energy these days and am tired, so I went to take care of myself. Most of the grilled eel restaurants are old-fashioned(?), so I was looking for a place where I wanted to eat in a more upscale and comfortable way, and I found this grilled eel restaurant. It's a good place to come with my parents or to come on a date. Hahaha, even I, an elementary school student, can eat it very deliciously. Maybe it's because it's the Japonica eel, it's really savory and light!! Maybe it's because it's already primed, but it has a subtle straw-like scent and it's delicious☺️ The side noodles are perfect with eel!💗 Enjoy it~.~

The freshness and quality of freshwater eel was truly impressive. The eel meat was thick and elastic, so I could tell the ingredients were good as soon as I took a bite. I was able to eat comfortably as the staff carefully grilled the eel to make it easy to eat, and the grilling was just right so the savory taste of the eel was preserved. Overall, I am satisfied with both the quality of the food and the service, so this is a place I want to visit again when I want to enjoy authentic eel dishes. It's really the best here. It's crazy.

Recommended lunch menu of eel rice bowl. 3 pieces are generous and 2 pieces are just the right amount. The side dishes are delicious, and the side dishes that require a lot of effort, such as shiitake mushroom seasoned with wasabi and chawanmushi, are made with care. A great place to bring your parents. There is also beef bulgogi rice bowl for children.

It feels very upscale. The interior is lovely, parking was convenient, and the staff were friendly. The meat comes served in a container. I’ll come back now and then to take care of myself. There were plenty of side dishes too, and everything was neat. Thank you. I only had the smallest eel, but it was delicious.
