Jangeo Sanyang specializes in charcoal-grilled freshwater eel and operates on a massive scale. Located at 89-1 Hosu-ro, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, the building is accessible within ten minutes of crossing Haengju Bridge from Seoul. Wild grape vines decorate the entrance, leading into a two-story dining area supported by two large parking lots. A dedicated staff member manages the charcoal grill at each table, ensuring the eel is cooked to a specific texture with a crispy exterior and moist interior. The eels are thick and clean, lacking any muddy aftertaste. Side dishes like ginger and pickled wild garlic leaves complement the main protein, while doenjang-guk acts as a standard accompaniment. For a more substantial meal, diners often add eel soup or a bowl of bibim naengmyeon, which features unexpectedly elastic noodles. Two large eels cost approximately 96,000 won, and a portion of one eel per person is standard for a full meal. With more than sixteen employees, the operation is highly organized, though the atmosphere becomes busy during the dinner peak around 7:00 PM.
