## In short

Hwarodam Yang Kkochi Magok is a lamb and Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor of Queens Park10 on Magok-jungang 6-ro in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. A family of three, including an 8-year-old, ordered shoulder rack lamb chops, thick lamb skewers, savory fried eggplant, guo bao rou (sweet and sour fried pork), mapo fried rice and Hwarodam's warm noodle soup, with staff grilling the charcoal lamb at the table. Four hours of free parking plus partition and room seating made Hwarodam an easy choice for a weekend family dinner.

I was looking for a dinner spot in Magok and this time went somewhere a bit different — a place where you can eat lamb and Chinese food together. When you hear "lamb skewer restaurant" you usually think of a light meal with skewers and a Tsingtao, but looking at this menu, there was quite a variety, from lamb chops to all kinds of dishes. So this time I decided to order a bunch of different things, and everything from start to finish was delicious, so I wanted to introduce it to you all.

## Where is Hwarodam Yang Kkochi Magok, and is parking free?

Hwarodam Yang Kkochi Magok is at 66 Magok-jungang 6-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor of Queens Park10, units 207–209, and parking is free for 4 hours. Hours are weekdays 11:30–22:50, Saturday 14:00–22:50 (last order 22:10), and it's closed on Sundays.

The place we visited was Hwarodam Yang Kkochi Magok. It's located on Magok-jungang 6-ro so it wasn't hard to find, and even though we came in the evening there were quite a few other diners too. We drove there, and the parking lot was spacious with 4 hours free, so it was easy to take our time over the meal.

### Inside Hwarodam Magok: seating and atmosphere

I'm not a fan of loud, crowded places, so the atmosphere is something I pay attention to at lamb restaurants — and rather than feeling like a cramped, noisy skewer joint, this place had a clean, comfortable vibe for eating. It felt somewhat upscale, so it would work well for bringing along older family members too. There were partition or room-style seats, so it also seemed good for family meals or larger groups.

As soon as you open the door, you see the charcoal oven and the lamb aging fridge right there. It seemed like they do a pre-grill here once you order.

## What a family of three ordered at Hwarodam

We ordered shoulder rack lamb chops, thick lamb skewers, mapo fried rice, small savory eggplant fritters, medium guo bao rou, and Hwarodam warm noodle soup. That's a lot for a family of three, but with such a varied menu I wanted to try a bit of everything.

Before the main dishes came out, they brought side dishes and the special sauces, and every single side dish was tasty. In particular, that gungchae (stir-fried greens) was so good I lost count of how many refills I asked for. ^^

## Shoulder rack lamb chops: why an 8-year-old finished them

The first dish we ordered was the shoulder rack lamb chops. Once you order, they pre-grill it at that oven we saw earlier and bring it out.

![Pre-grilled shoulder rack lamb chops served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwarodam-magok-lamb-guobaorou-family/hwarodam-magok-lamb-guobaorou-family-10-me9ku-1200.webp)

After the meat comes out, a staff member grills it for you at the table, so even as a family nobody has to be busy — we could just chat and relax while it cooked. Lamb has a distinctive smell that some people love and some don't, and honestly if the smell is too strong I can't eat much of it either, but grilled over charcoal, a savory aroma came through first. Grilled golden brown on the outside, the juices stayed locked in, so it was tender, and the more you chewed, the more you could taste that subtle lamb flavor. The smell wasn't strong at all, so even my 8-year-old son said it was delicious and ate it right up.

### Hwarodam's house sauces: the garlic chive flower sauce wins

Dipping the meat in the sauce doubled the flavor. I expected just a plain spice taste, but Hwarodam's special sauce was tastier than I thought. It brought out the lamb's own flavor without being too strong, so it wasn't overwhelming even eaten plain. Among the house-made special sauces, the tastiest was the leek flower sauce. Slightly pungent yet salty, it paired really well with the meat.

## Savory fried eggplant, the side you keep reaching for

The dish I was quietly most excited about was the savory eggplant fritters. I expected just eggplant coated in batter, but it was tastier than expected. The outside was crispy and the eggplant inside cooked soft, so the textural contrast was clear. The subtle garlic scent in the sauce was really good too. Even someone who doesn't like the mushy texture of eggplant would find this much easier to eat once fried. Above all, it had a sweet, savory taste, so once you start picking at it between bites of lamb, your hand just keeps going back. It was such a shame I couldn't have a beer with a side like this. Next time I'll definitely have to leave the car at home. ^^

## Mapo fried rice with charcoal-grilled lamb

We also ordered a fried rice for the kid. It was mapo fried rice, and I liked that the rice grains weren't too soft and had a nice coated feel. The tofu was soft too, and the pungent, salty mapo flavor went well with the rice, so it worked well eaten alongside the meat. Putting a piece of lamb on top of a spoonful of mapo fried rice — that combination worked better than I expected. I ordered it for our son, but my husband ended up eating more of it. ^^

## Guo bao rou to reset your palate

We came for Chinese food too, so guo bao rou (sweet and sour pork) was a must. The batter outside was very crispy and the meat inside stayed moist, so the texture was great. It's definitely different from the sticky-rice sweet and sour pork at a regular Chinese restaurant! With the sweet and tangy sauce coating it, eating this in between bites of lamb felt like a palate reset. Eating meat continuously can get a little heavy, but thanks to guo bao rou's tanginess, I could go right back to the lamb. ^^

## Thick lamb skewers: eating lamb like a steak

It felt like a waste to stop at just the lamb chops, so we also ordered the thick lamb skewers. True to the name, the meat is chunkier and thicker than a typical skewer, so one bite gave you that real "eating meat" feeling. Watching it turn golden brown over the charcoal, the smell alone was already delicious lol.

With the outside cooked slightly crispy and the inside kept moist, you could really taste the lamb's meaty aroma. Lamb skewers can be overwhelming if the spices are too strong, but eating this with the special sauce made it much easier to enjoy.

## Ending the meal with Hwarodam's warm noodle soup

Even though we were pretty full, we still ordered Hwarodam's warm noodle soup at the end. I wanted a broth-based dish to close things out, and the spicy, tingling broth really suited the role of a finishing dish. After eating meat, you crave that warm, slightly spicy broth, right? After the lamb and guo bao rou, one spoonful of the noodle soup broth left my stomach feeling completely settled.

### Sold out on the night: morning glory stir-fry

Honestly there was one more dish I wanted to try that day — the stir-fried morning glory. I thought it would be nice to have a vegetable dish alongside the meat, but... when we visited in the evening it was sold out, so I couldn't get it. T.T If I go again, I definitely want to try this one.

## Is Hwarodam Magok worth it for a family dinner?

Shoulder rack lamb chops, thick lamb skewers, savory eggplant fritters, guo bao rou, mapo fried rice, and finally the noodle soup... just looking at it makes you feel full, and we really ate properly. Personally, the combination of the clean, savory flavor of the lamb chops with Hwarodam's special sauce left the strongest impression, and the savory eggplant fritters we ordered as a side were also more satisfying than expected. Since it's not just a lamb-only place but somewhere you can order Chinese dishes too, it seems like a good spot for a group to visit and share a variety of dishes.

The atmosphere was good too, so it would work well for a family dinner or a date. I definitely want to go back. Next time I have to try the morning glory stir-fry that was sold out this time. If you're in Magok craving lamb skewers or lamb chops, and want to enjoy a variety of dishes together in a nice atmosphere, Hwarodam Yang Kkochi Magok is worth a visit. I'd recommend it for a weekend family dinner too!
