What is the 2nd-floor atmosphere at Hey Jinny like?
Hey Jinny is a 2nd-floor space with soft lighting and a vintage feel. After walking through an Euljiro alley and heading upstairs, the soft lighting and vintage mood opened up in front of me.
Once I settled into a seat on the 2nd floor, it was fun to watch people passing by outside the window.
It wasn't noisy at all, just calm, which made it easy to focus on the conversation.
What I ordered at Hey Jinny
At Hey Jinny I picked one pasta, one snack dish and a draft beer.
- Osaka niboshi oil pasta
- Sancho-kick crispy yuxiang eggplant
- Stella draft beer
How does the Osaka niboshi oil pasta taste?
Hey Jinny's Osaka niboshi oil pasta is a dish that recreates the flavor of Osaka's back alleys. Anchovy, shrimp and white pollock roe come together for a deep, savory taste of the sea.
The noodles and sauce worked so well together that I cleaned the plate in no time.
What does the sancho-kick crispy yuxiang eggplant taste like?
Hey Jinny's sancho-kick crispy yuxiang eggplant (eggplant in a sweet-savory garlic sauce) was superb: crunchy outside, moist inside.
The tingly sancho (Korean pepper) aroma gave it a unique, addictive flavor. It was the perfect snack with beer.
How does Stella draft beer go with the food?
The Stella draft beer I had at Hey Jinny, with its smooth foam and crisp finish, went perfectly with the food.
Verdict: is Hey Jinny a good Euljiro spot for a date or blind date?
Unique menu, great mood, everything about it was satisfying.
If you're looking for a wine bar with a nice atmosphere in Euljiro, or agonizing over a date or blind date spot, I strongly recommend Hey Jinny.
