Dongdaegu Station lamb restaurant, ribs grilled like beef: Yangbokjeom

Today was the day we'd decided to go eat lamb skewers! Lamb skewers!! It's been such a long time! haha

Lamb skewers AND lamb ribs~!!! haha I was meeting my partner in front of Dongdaegu Station after work! I actually love lamb to bits! That funky, gamey lamb smell!! hahaha

How does the Friday evening wait work at Yangbokjeom Dongdaegu Station?

At Yangbokjeom Dongdaegu Station Branch (양복점 동대구역점), you write your phone number and party size on a chalkboard inside and wait in front of the entrance. There was a wait on our Friday evening, but turnover is good, so it wasn't as long as I expected.

Yangbokjeom is the lamb skewer place near Dongdaegu Station! ㅎ The lamb doesn't have much gamey smell and tastes clean, which is why it's popular! Since we went on a Friday evening, there was a wait.

When you arrive, write your phone number and party size on the chalkboard inside, then wait right here in front! There were already quite a few people waiting, but this is actually a short line!

We took photos of each other while waiting! hahaha I'm in a good mood today, huh? hahaha We hadn't been able to date for a while, but lately I have more free time so we go out often, and the energy level has really gone up~

And finally our table was ready~~~!! haha clap clap clap! hahaha We didn't wait that long~ Turnover is quick, and several groups tend to leave at once, so waiting teams get seated in a batch. Even if the line looks long, hang in there a little~

Is Yangbokjeom Dongdaegu Station a drinking spot or a place for a meal?

Yangbokjeom is a nice place for a drink, so it works as a bar, but plenty of people come just for a meal too. People say Tsingtao goes with lamb skewers, but the writer recommends Chinese baijiu (liquor), especially gaoliang liquor (고량주).

The interior has a nice mood, right? haha People say Tsingtao with lamb skewers, but Chinese baijiu is really the perfect match~ Expensive Moutai is great, but gaoliang liquor is just right too! haha

How do you eat one serving of Yangbokjeom lamb skewers?

We ordered 1 serving of lamb skewers and 1 serving of lamb ribs, and grilled the skewers first. Once they're cooked enough, slide the meat off the skewer and dip it in cumin (zira), lamb skewer sauce or salt, however you like.

Shall we grill the skewers first? hahaha

When they look like this, take the meat off the skewer and dip it in whatever sauce you like~!! Honestly, salt alone is delicious too hahaha. Most people dip in cumin, and I love cumin and the skewer sauce both~ The more you eat, the better it gets! ㅎ

I like that Yangbokjeom's meat pieces are bigger than at other lamb skewer places. They say each skewer actually weighs more too! ㅎ

How do you grill the lamb ribs on the iron plate at Yangbokjeom?

Yangbokjeom's lamb ribs are grilled on the iron plate after the skewer grill is taken away, and the meat is thick. Sear them on the plate first, cut the meat off the bone, then snip it into bite-size pieces with scissors.

And here come the lamb ribs! ㅎ This is also 1 serving, and it's quite a lot, right? hahaha Wow~~~ lamb ribs! ㅎ

With any meat, ribs are the best! haha They take away the skewer grill and cook the ribs on the iron plate! ㅎ The meat is thick~ Grill it on the plate first, then cut the meat off the bone and snip it into bite-size pieces with scissors.

Grill lamb ribs like beef, not pork

Lamb ribs taste better slightly under- rather than over-cooked. Don't cook them through like pork; grill them like beef, but not too rare either. Lightly tender was just right.

Our server grilled them perfectly! Slightly less cooked tastes better than overcooked! haha Hmm... so, don't cook them all the way like pork, cook them like beef, I think! It depends on taste, but not too raw, just right! hahaha But you know "just right" is the hardest thing, right? hahaha Still, I think a lightly tender doneness is just perfect!

I ate the lamb ribs so happily~~~ Lamb ribs, as expected! ㅎ That nutty, toasty aroma of lamb ribs~ ㅎ

What is yangttubap at Yangbokjeom?

Yangttubap (양뚜밥) is a fried rice stir-fried with lamb and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi). It had plenty of lamb and the crunch of the radish, so we didn't need any side dishes.

And we finished with the yangttubap ㅎ It's not my first time at Yangbokjeom! I enjoy it every time I come! haha Next time I have to try the kkwabaorou (crispy sweet-and-sour pork) and the smashed cucumber salad! ㅎ I went yesterday and already want to go again! ㅎ I'll review it again when I go next time!~ ㅎ
