The skewers, priced at ₩16,000 for 10, come already seasoned. As a restaurant specializing in lamb skewers and Chinese cuisine, they're known for having absolutely no gamey smell, so even people who haven't tried lamb skewers much before can enjoy them without hesitation~ ![Charcoal heated up at the table after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-09-1f6ws-900.webp) Jangbaeksan Yangkkochi Songjeong near Gwangju Songjeong Station has a system where you grill the skewers over piping hot charcoal~ As soon as you order, they heat up the charcoal immediately. With their long tradition and unwavering taste, they've already built up a solid base of regulars, so this lamb skewer restaurant really delivers on flavor. ![Automatic rotating rail grill over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-10-1q9d0-900.webp) ## A system where you just place the skewers on the rail The biggest advantage of lamb skewers here is this rail system that lets you grill everything evenly without much effort. You place the skewers on the rail as it moves back and forth, and after just a little wait, the skewers are done~ They only use fresh lamb carefully selected daily, so there's no gamey smell at all, and the various skewers—lamb ribs, grilled lamb leg, and more—are tender with deep flavor and juiciness at this lamb skewer restaurant near Gwangju Songjeong Station! ![Lamb skewers cooking on the rail](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-11-qynof-900.webp) They're cooking away deliciously on the rail over the charcoal.

Since you can just relax while the skewers cook, it's also really nice for chatting and eating at the same time. ![Close-up of lamb skewers grilling to golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-12-1myd9-900.webp) ## Authentic Chinese dishes too At Jangbaeksan Yangkkochi Songjeong near Gwangju Songjeong Station, you can also taste dishes cooked directly by a Chinese chef. Dozens of authentic Chinese dishes like mala soup, mala xiangguo, jisamseon, and gangpungi (spicy crispy chicken) bring out the savory, smoky flavors true to the original, giving you the satisfaction of eating like you're in China. In particular, the sweet and sour pork and guobaorou aren't made with the thick, sticky sauce you'd get in Korea, but with a chili-oil style sauce for a much deeper flavor, apparently! ![Fully cooked lamb skewers placed on the shelf](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-13-65ocz-900.webp) ### Once cooked, the skewers go on the shelf Once the lamb skewers are cooked nicely, just place them on the shelf on top of the rail. If they stay over the charcoal too long, they can burn or turn tough. Once you take a skewer off, just put another one in its spot. The turnover is really good, so you can keep eating right away~ ![A perfectly grilled lamb skewer ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-14-1cdov-900.webp) ![Lamb skewer dipped in cumin sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill/jangbaeksan-yangkkochi-songjeong-rail-grill-15-1ll03-900.webp) Apparently Jangbaeksan Yangkkochi Songjeong near Gwangju Songjeong Station also runs its own YouTube channel??
