Stopping in for a second round after dinner, the order was cream shrimp, beef intestine skewers (daechang) and chicken skewers, and the skewer seasoning and the cream shrimp sauce stood out most. For a dimly lit second-round spot in Yeongdeungpo, Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch is a good fit. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 18:00–02:00 - **Closed**: Sundays - **Location**: 2 minutes on foot from Times Square, about 10 minutes from Yeongdeungpo Station - **Seating**: Three themed spaces; open room for 8 at the back of the 2nd floor - **Ordered**: Cream shrimp, beef intestine skewers, chicken skewers - **Perk**: Free drink through the Naver Map coupon event *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* I was looking for a place for round two in Yeongdeungpo and ended up at Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch. ## Where is Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch, and what are its hours? Hours are Mon–Sat 18:00–02:00, closed on Sundays. It's about 2 minutes on foot from Times Square and around 10 minutes from Yeongdeungpo Station, a solid location for a drink after dinner. Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch bills itself as a socialing izakaya — more than just a place to drink, it's meant to work for solo drinks, dates, or groups. The food is made by a chef with 15 years of experience, apparently, offering anju (drinking snacks) that add a traditional Japanese sensibility to fresh ingredients. Beyond the signature menu, there were plenty of Japanese-style anju to pick from depending on what you're drinking. ![Wooden door entrance and lighting at Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-01-no4t6-900.webp) ## Three themed spaces, window seats and the 8-person open room From the entrance — the wooden door, the lighting — it had a bit of an old Western-style house feel, which caught my eye right away. Stepping inside, it gets even more atmospheric! The place isn't decorated in just one mood — it's split into three themed spaces, so each seat felt a little different. ![Dim interior with books and liquor bottles displayed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-02-1tmvz-900.webp) Along one wall, books and liquor bottles are displayed together, with low lighting on every wall making it dim, bottles mixed in among the bookshelves — half bar, half izakaya. The lighting overall was low, which made it a good spot for talking while seated. ![Izakaya table seating with low lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-03-1sbk7-900.webp) That window seat especially — it looks like a painting! I bet it'd feel really atmospheric on a rainy day. ![Picture-perfect window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-04-1khok-900.webp) Toward the back of the 2nd floor there's an open room that fits about 8 people, so you can eat comfortably and cozily! ![8-person open room toward the back of the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-05-1g4ac-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Nani Byeolgwan: cream shrimp, beef intestine and chicken skewers That day we ordered cream shrimp, beef intestine skewers, and chicken skewers. ![Table set with cream shrimp and skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-06-n3geq-900.webp) ### Chicken skewers: the main event at Nani Byeolgwan Skewers are the main thing at Nani~! The sauce was glossy on the surface and the inside was moist. The sauce genuinely tastes great. ![Sauce-glazed chicken skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-07-10wd6-900.webp) On top of that, there was chicken skin still attached, so it was savory and chewy and delicious! ![Close-up of chicken skewer with skin still attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-08-11pnl-m-900.webp) ### Beef intestine skewers (daechang) with dipping powder The beef intestine (daechang) comes skewered in round little coils, with slight char marks on the outside, so it looked delicious right from the start. ![Round beef intestine skewers with char marks](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-09-1pv8b-900.webp) Savory juices burst out with each bite, and dipping it in the seasoning powder served alongside was just right. ![Beef intestine skewers served with seasoning powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-10-1qky4-900.webp) ### Cream shrimp with plenty of sauce, eaten between skewers Na~ni~'s cream shrimp. There was genuinely a generous amount of sauce piled on top of the shrimp. ![Cream shrimp piled generously with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-11-1293d-900.webp) There was crunchy topping sprinkled on top too, so picking up one shrimp came with a chewy bit of sauce. Just from the photo it looks like it might be pretty rich, but alternating with the skewers actually made it work well. ![Cream shrimp sprinkled with crunchy topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-12-1ty95-900.webp) Look how plump the shrimp are! Having tried the whole menu, it really hit me — this place knows how to make sauces. ![Plate of cream shrimp showing plump shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-13-1tqv7-1200.webp) They gave us a drink through the Naver Map coupon event! ![Drink provided through the Naver Map coupon event](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-14-5d92r-900.webp) ## Is Nani Byeolgwan a good second-round spot in Yeongdeungpo? The vibe was like this. Both the food and the atmosphere at Nani Byeolgwan stuck with me in a quiet way. It's the kind of place that'll come to mind when I'm looking for a low-key second-round spot in Yeongdeungpo. ![Dimly lit overall interior view of Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers-15-1ej6i-900.webp) The cream shrimp was soft and the skewers were salty — proper drinking food. If you're looking for an atmospheric izakaya bar near Times Square, this one's worth a visit. ## Where it is - Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch (나니별관 영등포점) - 183 Munnae-ro, 1st floor, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 문래로 183 1층 나니별관 영등포점 - 37.5184501, 126.9024581 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%EB%8B%88%EB%B3%84%EA%B4%80%20%EC%98%81%EB%93%B1%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.5184501,126.9024581,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@euhwa-alley-glass/nani-byeolgwan-yeongdeungpo-izakaya-skewers/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
