I recently visited Woori San Komjangeo, a well-known restaurant near Bujeon Station, with a friend from Seoul. In this area packed with Komjangeo (grilled eel) restaurants, Woori San Komjangeo specializes in this dish and consistently receives positive reviews, making it a popular spot. I took my friend there so they could experience authentic Busan-style Komjangeo.

Woori San Komjangeo is located at 177-3, Bujeon-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan.

The menu at Woori San Komjangeo starts at ₩30,000 for a small size, with an additional ₩10,000 for each larger size. A major plus is that they only use domestic Komjangeo, not imported ones from the US.

The restaurant interior is somewhat small, with only about four tables. It has a strong local vibe, typical of restaurants around Bujeon Station.

The basic side dishes at Woori San Komjangeo are simple, as you can see in the pictures. A bowl of cold bean sprout soup is served per person, and it was very refreshing.

A key feature of Woori San Komjangeo is that the eel is grilled directly over charcoal briquettes. The taste of Komjangeo can vary quite a bit depending on how it's cooked. Here, they grill it directly on a charcoal brazier, which gives it a wonderful smoky flavor.

The aroma of this charcoal-grilled salt-seasoned Komjangeo was truly special. It's a taste that's hard to find outside of Busan.

To be precise, the Komjangeo here is full of meat, but visually, it feels like you're eating intestines filled with 곱 (gop - fat/roe).

Woori San Komjangeo also provides sesame oil with salt, which is essential for enjoying Komjangeo. Dipping the grilled Komjangeo in the sesame oil enhances its savory flavor.

I especially appreciated that they also serve쌈채소 (ssam chae-so - vegetables for wrapping) as a side dish, so you can wrap the Komjangeo in lettuce. While the sesame oil dip is delicious, it can feel a bit greasy after a while, so eating it with fresh vegetables made it more enjoyable.

After eating the Komjangeo, ordering fried rice is a must, so we ordered it right away. Even though we had the salt-seasoned Komjangeo, they added sauce to the fried rice.

The fried rice wasn't particularly special; it tasted like regular fried rice, but it was a flavor that everyone could enjoy. Since it's inexpensive, I highly recommend trying it.

There are well-known Komjangeo districts near Nampo Station and Bujeon Station, and I used to go to Nampo Station often, even though it's far from my home. I knew there was a Komjangeo district near Bujeon Station, but this was my first time visiting. I didn't realize that the Komjangeo restaurants here were as good as those in Nampo or Jagalchi. I often make plans near Seomyeon, and next time I'm craving Komjangeo near Seomyeon, I'll definitely come back to Woori San Komjangeo near Bujeon Station for their delicious charcoal-grilled salt-seasoned Komjangeo.
