Booking ahead with her younger sister, the writer took a window seat and shared eogyang-gaji (fried eggplant, 18,000 won) and Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta (21,000 won) with beer and peach ade, finding that the anchovy saltiness cut the cream's richness while the eggplant stayed crisp outside and soft inside. Her verdict: on a first trip to Euljiro, Hey Jinny is a must-stop rather than an option. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 7 Eulji-ro 12-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul — 117m from Euljiro 3(sam)-ga Station Exit 10 - **Hours**: Tue–Fri 17:00–24:00 / Sat–Sun 15:00–24:00 (last order 23:30) - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Weekday daytime**: Group bookings only, one group per day - **Reservations**: Available through Naver - **Parking**: No parking lot - **Ordering**: Kiosk at every table - **Eogyang-gaji (fried eggplant)**: 18,000 won - **Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta**: 21,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩21,000 ≈ $15.5 · ₩18,000 ≈ $13.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Aug 30, 2026* I finally went to Hey Jinny, a spot that's already famous in Euljiro! ## Where is Hey Jinny in Euljiro, and what are the hours? Hey Jinny is a Western-style cooking bar on the 2nd floor at 7 Eulji-ro 12-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, 117m from Exit 10 of Euljiro 3(sam)-ga Station. It's open Tue–Fri 17:00–24:00 and Sat–Sun 15:00–24:00, with last order at 23:30, closed every Monday. On weekday daytime it only runs on a one-group-per-day reservation basis, Naver reservations are available, and there's no parking lot. It's on the 2nd floor, and we walked over from Myeongdong — it wasn't hard to find at all! Coming from Euljiro 3-ga Station makes it even closer 👌 ![Exterior view of the Hey Jinny building](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-01-uttvs-900.webp) ![Staircase up to Hey Jinny's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-02-1xtv9-852.webp) Maybe because it's in trendy "Hipjiro," even the staircase up to the 2nd floor felt hip haha. I'm a country mouse so just being in Seoul already had me excited >_< We were hungry so we headed straight up!!! ## Inside Hey Jinny: is it good for dates or group gatherings? The inside of Hey Jinny is compact but has a stylish interior that keeps the feel of Euljiro's old spaces alive. The dim lighting makes it a great Euljiro date bar, and since group reservations are possible, it's also suited for renting out for a quiet party. ![Entrance to Hey Jinny's 2nd floor through the inner door](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-03-16qrb-900.webp) When you get to the 2nd floor, the shop doesn't open right up — you go through an inner door first! The restroom was right next to the mirror, and it seemed to be unisex, hmm. The inside was fairly compact, but rather than feeling cramped, it felt like a small space put together thoughtfully haha. It's not flashy — it keeps the atmosphere of Euljiro's old spaces while leaning a bit more polished, so it felt like a comfortable place for anyone, regardless of gender or age 😊 The dim lighting makes it perfect for a Euljiro date bar! ✨ You know how it is — everyone looks better in dim lighting lol. Sure enough there were a few tables clearly on blind dates, so jealous... haha. It's also good for a quiet gathering near hip Euljiro like a wedding invitation get-together, and since group reservations work, it's suited for renting for a quiet party too~ 😃 ![Hey Jinny's compact interior under dim lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-04-1ixmd-966.webp) ![Interior of Hey Jinny with its Hipjiro vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-05-1elg0-m-966.webp) Even the photos come out feeling naturally Hipjiro rather than staged >_< The vibes here are insane...🫨 ![Window-side table at Hey Jinny](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-06-u8o7c-900.webp) We had a reservation, and got seated by the window! The Hipjiro view~~~ ╰(*°▽°*)╯ I usually only see green rice paddies, fields, and mountains, so seeing this kind of commercial-district view actually felt better, weirdly enough haha. ![View of a Euljiro alley from the window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-07-tevf2-900.webp) ## Ordering at the table kiosk and the wine-bottle interior Hey Jinny has a kiosk at every table, so ordering is simple. There's a pretty wide range of Western dishes too, so for a Euljiro Western food date, Hey Jinny is a must-visit course (●'◡'●) ![Ordering kiosk on each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-08-yt84v-900.webp) ![Hey Jinny's interior accented with wine bottles](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-09-rfnou-900.webp) ![Wine display area inside Hey Jinny](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-10-c1l1m-900.webp) It really is a great wine spot for Euljiro 3-ga~~ You can spot wine bottles used as accent decor throughout the space 🍾 A perfect place for a second round! Or great for casual day-drinking or having wine over dinner 🍷 ![A page from Hey Jinny's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-11-fc9ry-900.webp) ![Hey Jinny's food menu with prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-12-16zfe-900.webp) ![Hey Jinny's drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-13-p0qge-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Hey Jinny and what it cost - Eogyang-gaji (crispy eggplant) ₩18,000 - Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta ₩21,000 The Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta wasn't even on the Naver menu board above, huh!ㅠㅠ ### Beer and peach ade with the meal The look of an ice-cold beer...🍺🍻 my sister poured it perfectly haha. ![A glass of cold draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-14-a7l3d-900.webp) It wasn't that hot out, but we'd walked a fair amount so a cold drink was essential — the peach ade was delicious too 🍹 ![A glass of Hey Jinny's peach ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-15-uiyks-900.webp) Finally, the eogyang-gaji and the Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta arrived — just from the look of them, there was no way they'd taste bad...🤤 ![Table spread of eogyang-gaji and Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-16-hv519-1200.webp) ![Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-17-1b72m-900.webp) ## How was the Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta? Hey Jinny's Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta (₩21,000) is a cream-sauce pasta with anchovy, and once well mixed it takes on a deep flavor close to a mentaiko oil cream pasta. There's zero fishy taste — the anchovy's saltiness cuts through the richness of the cream and oil. The name alone — Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta — made me curious what it even was haha. It has cream sauce and anchovy in it, and the staff told us to mix it well! So I got right to it, tossing the shrimp, garlic, and vegetables all together evenly 🤤 ![Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta mixed with shrimp and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-18-vizzl-900.webp) Even after mixing, it looks amazing...😋 ![A bite of the pasta coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-19-pxifk-900.webp) ![Close-up of the anchovy cream pasta with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-20-s7w5x-900.webp) The first bite tasted close to a mentaiko oil cream pasta — the cream's richness really came through 😋 I expected a bit of fishiness from the anchovy, but there was none at all, and instead it added a salty note that actually cut through the richness of the cream and oil! Eating it together with the shrimp, garlic, and vegetables made it taste two, three, four times better, and it wasn't the least bit heavy, so I finished it in no time 😂😂😂 ![A plate of Hey Jinny's eogyang-gaji](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-21-1txkl-900.webp) ![Close-up of the eogyang-gaji topped with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-22-u05o1-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the crispy-outside, tender-inside eogyang-gaji](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-23-1t3ce-900.webp) ## Is Hey Jinny's eogyang-gaji (fried eggplant) good with beer? Hey Jinny's eogyang-gaji (₩18,000) is crispy on the outside, soft inside, with a sauce that's just spicy enough to pair well with rice or drinks — a perfect anju (drinking snack). The eggplant was tender and the sauce so savory it was much better than I expected!! It could easily have been too rich, but the seasoning was mildly spicy in just the right way to go with rice or drinks. The batter was super crispy and the inside soft — textbook crispy-outside, tender-inside. The scallions, chili, and other vegetables on top gave it good texture too, and overall my mouth was in heaven ✨ ![Spicy sauce left on the eogyang-gaji plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters/euljiro-heyjini-eggplant-beer-sisters-24-u3yng-900.webp) Seriously, this sauce... was so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I wanted to scrape the plate clean with my tongue, just kidding... haha. Anyway... this was my first time in Euljiro, and I felt genuinely honored to have my first experience be at Hey Jinny — next time I'll bring a boyfriend, maybe..? (we'll see lol).
