Bangujeong Naruteojip 반구정 나루터집

Bangujeong Naruteojip has specialized in freshwater eel since 1969. Situated along the Imjingang River, the establishment features a grand Hanok structure with a modern interior. Ongoing investments keep the facilities contemporary, and a large parking lot accommodates many visitors. A new highway has also shortened the travel time from Seoul. The kitchen grills the thick-cut eels before serving, allowing for a smoke-free dining experience. The eel is known for a firm texture without any fishy odor. The signature preparations include salt-grilled and soy sauce-grilled versions. Starting with the salt-grilled eel before the seasoned soy sauce version is common practice. In winter, the pre-grilled eel can cool quickly and become saltier, so eating it promptly while warm is recommended. Spicy freshwater crab soup or catfish soup can be ordered to complement the meal. Orders are placed through kiosks, and serving robots deliver food. Since weekends and holidays often involve long waits managed by a tablet system, weekday visits are generally more convenient.
