Gangnam Korean restaurant for three dakgalbi flavors: Yanggyegok

I’d like to introduce a Dogok-dong chicken restaurant that is spotlessly maintained and serves a variety of dakgalbi.

Yanggyegok near Yangjae Station

Yanggyegok (양계옥)

While looking for somewhere to eat near Yangjae Station, I ended up visiting Yanggyegok.

There are lots of choices around Yangjae Station, from places good for office workers’ meals to barbecue restaurants suited to company dinners. That day, I chose Yanggyegok because I liked that I could enjoy dakgalbi along with a range of side dishes.

You could tell at a glance that the place was kept very clean, which I appreciated.

The tables were nicely spaced apart, too.

With both meal dishes and grilled items, it works well for lunch or dinner.

There is a self-service bar inside, so you can take as much as you want.

Banchan pairings with dakgalbi

Soon, the banchan (Korean side dishes) arrived one by one, starting with a variety of sauces.

Perilla leaves and flying fish roe,

and pickled radish wraps—pairings all set for enjoying the dakgalbi deliciously, haha.

Gochujang, salt, and soy sauce dakgalbi with grilled deodeok

Then the dishes we ordered arrived!

In order: ₩16,000 gochujang dakgalbi and ₩13,000 grilled seasoned deodeok.

In order: ₩15,000 salt dakgalbi and ₩16,000 soy sauce dakgalbi.

A staff member cut up the first batch of dakgalbi, making it easy to eat.

They also tended to the grill regularly, and I liked that attentiveness.

The grilled dakgalbi is ready!

Fish roe fried rice with cheese all the way through

₩10,000 fish roe cheese iron-plate fried rice.

So generous with the cheese and rice, haha.

Here, the cheese is spread evenly all the way through the inside, too—such a thoughtful touch, so you can enjoy cheese in every bite!

It was so good I kept reaching for it; it ranks among the top three fried rices I’ve had at meat restaurants.

If you are looking for an office-worker dinner spot near Yangjae Station or a good restaurant in Dogok-dong, this is a Yangjae Station meat restaurant worth visiting with someone who loves dakgalbi.
