강남 선릉역 근처에서 깔끔하게 장어덮밥을 즐길 수 있는 곳을 찾다가 방문한 만목. 주문한 메뉴는 장어덮밥(반마리)였는데, 윤기 나는 장어가 먹기 좋게 잘려 밥 위에 가지런히 올라가 있어 비주얼부터 만족스러웠습니다. 달콤짭짤한 소스가 장어에 잘 배어 있어 비린 맛 없이 부드럽고 고소했고, 밥과 함께 먹으니 정말 조화가 좋았습니다. 함께 나온 샐러드와 장국, 차완무시까지 구성이 깔끔해 한 끼 식사로 충분히 만족스러웠습니다. 선릉역 근처에서 든든하면서도 깔끔한 식사를 하고 싶다면 추천할 만한 장어덮밥 맛집입니다. 재방문 의사 있습니다.^^

The grilled eel here is really delicious. It's the best I've ever had. Make sure to eat both seasoning and salt. They're friendly and the atmosphere is great. They have an eel rice bowl menu for lunch, so I'm going to have lunch too. It's the best. Really💙❤️

It has a heavy interior that utilizes dark wood tones. The low-intensity, calm lighting also contributes to the atmosphere. The interior, which took advantage of the beauty of blank space, was really cool. It's a great place to take for anniversaries, important gatherings, or when entertaining special people♥️ You can only order eel rice bowl for lunch, and grilled or nabe for dinner. We ordered one per person. Eel rice bowls are largely divided into Kanto/Kansai/Nagoya styles, but this is the Kanto style♥️ It is made by grilling it once, steaming it, then applying secret seasoning and grilling it twice more over charcoal. Rather than being crunchy and chewy, it is soft and moist because some of the fat has been removed, so the meat is much softer and the tissues have loosened up, putting less strain on the stomach. I feel like my digestion is going well! Even the matcha ice cream at the end is impressive ♥️♥️

I visited a new Japanese eel restaurant in Seolleung, and the atmosphere was really nice! The interior is so pretty and luxurious that it looks great for bringing your parents or having a meal with an important guest. The eel is soft and melts in your mouth. The chawanmushi is also the best.. I had a really delicious meal!

I went to ‘Manmok’, an eel rice bowl restaurant. ​I had half an eel rice bowl (26,000 won) for lunch, and even though it was only half, the eel was quite thick and substantial, so it was enough for me to eat alone. The soft texture blends well with the soy sauce and the fiery flavor, and I especially enjoyed it when I topped it with pickled sansho (Japanese pepper) as you explained, which added to the flavor. The steamed shrimp egg custard that came with it was soft, so I drank it, and the pine broth had a kelp-based mellow taste. The staff was kind enough to explain the food, and they gave us matcha and black tea ice cream for dessert, which was sweet and delicious. ​The atmosphere of the store is also good. I recommend it to those looking for a hearty Japanese eel rice bowl meal near Seolleung Station.

Crispy yet moist eel! It's so delicious whether you eat it with pickled Sancho fruit, with ginger, or on its own👍 I liked that the staff was so friendly, and I had a delicious time in a neat space with calm music playing :)

I came here right after the health checkup because I wanted to take care of myself by fasting for 20 hours. I ordered one and a half and ate most of the eel. Chawanmushi is so pudding that it cleanses an empty stomach smoothly. It was nice to have a special taste because it had pickled Japanese pepper or powder. The teriyaki-flavored seasoning also adds to the chewy eel flavor.

I went to Manmok, a famous eel rice bowl restaurant in Seolleung! The eel rice bowl tastes just like in Japan...👍🏻 I could feel the soft and deep flavor without any fishy smell from the eel. Not even a single thorn was chewed. It was the best. 🥺 They told me to top it with sancho and this was really kicky. Please try it everyone. 🙏 The menu is neat, so I think it would be good for a date. The store is really clean and the interior is pretty, so I felt good eating there! And above all, they are so kind...🩷 I will visit again to eat rice bowls 🫶🏻

I wanted to eat eel rice bowl so I looked for this place and it was a newly opened place and the reviews were good so I went there! I liked the store so much that I gave it a pass and the eel rice bowl was presented neatly. The pickled sancho and the accompanying sauce go well with the eel rice bowl, and the Ebisu beer is really delicious!! Chawanmushi is also my style. I want to come again! I think it would also be good to serve to acquaintances.

I went to eat eel rice bowl for lunch on a weekend date and was surprised once by the interior and twice by the taste. I went to Tokyo recently and it was even better than there. The staff is also very friendly!!! I'll come again next time😆😆👍🏻
