🐟 [Nonhyeon-dong Eel Restaurant] Duoemari – Korean BBQ Eel & Uni for the Perfect Stamina Meal

 

1. About the Restaurant

If you’re looking for eel (Jangeo, μž₯μ–΄) in Seoul’s Gangnam area, Duoemari (λ‘μ–΄λ§ˆλ¦¬) is a must-visit spot.
πŸ“ Address: 14 Eonju-ro 148-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (10 min walk from Hakdong Station)
⏰ Hours: Mon–Fri 17:00–23:00 / Sat 16:00–22:00 (Closed on Sundays)
☎️ 0507-1483-8785
πŸ‘‰ Limited seating, so reservations are highly recommended.

The exterior is humble, but inside you’ll find a cozy space where the aroma of charcoal fills the air. Duoemari specializes in Korean stamina food with fresh eel grilled over charcoal and premium seafood dishes.

2. Side Dishes

Before the main dishes arrive, you’ll be served traditional Korean sides:

  • Aged kimchi (mukeunji)

  • Seasoned chives

  • Perilla leaves

  • Fermented fish sauce (galchi-sokjeot)

These pair beautifully with the eel, especially the combination of grilled eel with aged kimchi, which regulars rave about.

3. Signature Dishes

🐟 Grilled Sea Eel (27,000 KRW per serving)

  • Served pre-grilled and finished on the charcoal grill at your table.

  • The meat is thick, juicy, and tender, with a smoky aroma from the charcoal.

  • Staff assist with cutting and preparing, so you can enjoy it hassle-free.

  • Wrap it with perilla leaves, aged kimchi, and julienned ginger for the ultimate bite.

🍣 Uni Plate (45,000 KRW) & Uni with Eel Sashimi (54,000 KRW)

  • Fresh sea urchin served with rice and seaweed – it’s like tasting the ocean.

  • Perfect for uni lovers, with a creamy texture and deep umami flavor.

  • The uni + eel sashimi combo is a surprising match, balancing richness with freshness.

🌱 Grilled Deodeok (19,000 KRW)

  • Korean mountain root grilled with sweet and spicy sauce.

  • A classic “rice thief” side dish that pairs well with eel.

🍲 Eel Soup (20,000 KRW)

  • A hearty, rich soup that makes for a perfect finisher.

  • Known as a stamina food, eel soup helps restore energy and even works well as a hangover cure.

4. Atmosphere & Tips

  • The walls are covered with celebrity autographs, proof of its popularity among locals and entertainers.

  • Gets busy in the evenings, so come early or book ahead.

  • Prices are on the higher side, but many agree it’s worth it for the quality and experience.

5. Overall Review

✅ Grilled eel with smoky charcoal flavor – melts in your mouth
✅ Uni plate – fresh, creamy, ocean taste
✅ Side menu – deodeok and eel soup complete the meal
✅ Downsides – Slightly far from the subway & frequent waiting times

πŸ“Œ For foreign visitors:

  • Korean Eel BBQ (Jangeo) is considered one of Korea’s top stamina foods.

  • Along with ginseng chicken soup (Samgyetang), eel is a traditional dish for energy and health, especially in summer.

  • The DIY wrap style with perilla leaves and aged kimchi offers a uniquely authentic Korean dining experience.

πŸ‘‰ Final verdict: If you want to try a premium Korean BBQ experience in Gangnam, Duoemari’s eel and uni are a must.
