How to walk there from Yeouido Station Exit 5
It's about a 7-minute walk from Yeouido Station Exit 5, or about 3 minutes from Saetgang Station!
What the izakaya looks like inside and out
There's a row of sake bottles displayed at the entrance.
This is the private room inside! They said it fits between 2 and 4 people haha. Wouldn't this be a nice spot for a date if you book ahead?
This is the hallway inside the restaurant — it's decorated to really feel like a traditional izakaya!
Here are the skewers that go into the yakitori haha.
These were so good,, I'll show you the finished dish later!
What three people ordered, plus the complimentary snack
At Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch we ordered the mixed skewer set (11 kinds, 13 pieces, 24,000 won), cha-dol beansprout stir-fry (+cha-dol ramen) for 26,000 won, and arancini for 10,000 won!
First, as a basic side dish, fried eggs came out matched to the number of people. It was a nice light way to start as an appetizer haha.
Cha-dol brisket and beansprout stir-fry with cha-dol ramen, 26,000 won
The cha-dol (thinly sliced beef brisket) beansprout stir-fry was so good — the savory beef fat had soaked all the way into the crunchy beansprouts ❤️ The beansprouts weren't overcooked, so the crisp texture was still there, and the beef was soft and savory, so together they were a perfect combo haha. The seasoning was nicely salty too, so it was the kind of flavor that kept my chopsticks reaching for more as a drinking snack!
The cha-dol ramen had a spicy, slightly hot broth right from the start, and it was totally my type...👍 The beef added a savory, rich umami, and it was just spicy enough that it wasn't greasy — very clean. The broth being hot and a bit salty made it perfect as a drinking snack haha.
Arancini (fried risotto balls), 10,000 won
The arancini came out as 7 pieces total, with ketchup sauce drizzled underneath!
When I bit into an arancini, it was completely packed with cheese...🥺 My beloved cheese... it was an admirably good flavor 💞
Mixed skewer set: 11 kinds, 13 pieces, 24,000 won
And finally, the long-awaited mixed skewer set!
Ugh, doesn't the glistening layer of fat look so good? It was made up of a variety of items like scallop, heart, chicken thigh meat, shrimp, bacon-wrapped rice cake, and bacon-wrapped cherry tomato! Honestly there wasn't a single skewer to skip, but that plump shrimp was especially delicious to me 😭 I want to eat it again already,,,,,
Here's a video to enjoy too~
The delicious bacon-wrapped rice cake skewer haha.
Naver review event: free vanilla cheese ice cream
Through the Naver receipt review event, we were given 'vanilla cheese ice cream'!
Yeah,,, the portion is insane haha. Even as a review event item, the amount was really generous,,, there's waffle in the vanilla cheese ice cream! My mom said it was so good and scraped the bowl clean, so it's definitely worth trying through the review event ❤️
