Two friends booked a window seat on a Saturday night, shared the 11-kind skewer platter and Nagasaki champon, and found garlic skewers the surprise favorite. Staff even brought a blanket when the air conditioning felt too cold, making it a solid pick for group dinners or dates. ## Good to know - **Address**: 97-3 Digital-ro 32-gil, 2nd floor, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–01:30 - **Location**: 5-minute walk from Guro Digital Complex Station Exit 1, 2nd floor - **Signature skewer platter (11 kinds, 13 pieces)**: ₩24,000 - **Nagasaki champon**: ₩21,000 - **Seating**: Counter seats, table seats, window seats, private seats in the back - **Restroom**: Inside the restaurant, separated by gender - **Complimentary side dish**: Griddle-fried egg - **Event**: Receipt review with a photo of your main dish gets a free vanilla cheese ice cream *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* Got together with a close unnie for a good meal and a good time >,< I went to Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch, an izakaya bar in Guro. ## How far is it from Guro Digital Complex Station? Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch is about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Guro Digital Complex Station. Pretty close. > 🏠 Address: 97-3 Digital-ro 32-gil, 2nd floor, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea > ⏰ Hours: Daily 17:00–01:30 > 🚻 Restroom inside the restaurant, separated by gender ![Exterior of the building housing Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-01-7nfac-900.webp) Robatayaki Sodam is on the 2nd floor of the building — you have to go up one flight. We went on a Saturday evening with a reservation, so there was no waiting. ![Stairway leading up to the izakaya on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-02-1ri15-900.webp) ![Entrance to Robatayaki Sodam on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-03-1phwv-900.webp) Walk in through the entrance like this, and the staff kindly guide you to your seat. ![Reception area at the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-04-1psu9-900.webp) These are Robatayaki Sodam's hours~ ![Robatayaki Sodam's posted business hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-05-fbkg1-900.webp) ![A page of the Robatayaki Sodam menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-06-s70bx-900.webp) ![Izakaya side dish menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-07-4ur6v-900.webp) ![Menu page listing skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-08-1n5df-900.webp) ![Drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-09-1qm4d-900.webp) ![Menu page listing various alcoholic drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-10-1272v-900.webp) ## What we ordered for two As you'd expect from a well-known Guro bar, the menu was huge and the drink list just as varied, so it was fun just browsing. Between the two of us, we ordered - Signature skewer platter, 11 kinds (13 pieces) — ₩24,000 - Nagasaki champon — ₩21,000 . ![Main hall and table seating at the izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-11-1oigo-900.webp) ![Counter seat with a view of fish and skewers being grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-12-1r2fu-900.webp) ![Table at the window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-13-i0be3-900.webp) ![Private seating area further inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-14-c3kni-900.webp) ## Window seat? Counter seat? The seating vibe Once you walk in through the entrance, there's a large main space. There's a counter seat where you can watch the fish and skewers being grilled, plus plenty of comfortable table seats. We had booked a window seat, so we settled in by the window. For a date, sitting at the counter seat and watching the fish and skewers grill would probably be extra fun. Once I actually got there I wondered if I should've picked the counter seat instead lol. On my way to the restroom I found some quieter, more private seating further inside. It was much calmer back there with fewer people around. Those inner seats would work great for a group gathering too. ![Griddle-fried egg served as the complimentary side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-15-l41fc-900.webp) ## The complimentary side dish is a fried egg The fried egg that comes as a complimentary side~ I've almost never seen egg served as a free side dish, and having it griddle-fried like this made it even tastier. A great way to curb hunger before the food arrives. ![Sign explaining the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-16-1jw0g-900.webp) If you post a receipt review with a photo of your main dish, they give you a free vanilla cheese ice cream. We meant to do it too but forgot while eating — so sad ㅠㅠㅠ ![Signature skewer platter set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-17-c13nd-900.webp) ## The signature skewer platter (11 kinds) — garlic skewers were the dark horse The mixed skewer platter we ordered. Since we came to an izakaya, we wanted to eat well-grilled skewers, so we ordered this. ![Signature skewer platter with 11 kinds, 13 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-18-1itvb-1200.webp) Chicken heart, shrimp, chicken, mushroom, garlic, and more — tasty skewers that filled us up without feeling too heavy as drinking snacks. The meat skewers were of course delicious, but surprisingly the garlic skewer was... nutty and savory-salty like it had been grilled on a meat griddle. So good. The garlic skewer turned out to be my type haha. ![Grilled skewers including chicken heart and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-19-1rri7-900.webp) ![Plate of skewers with garlic and mushroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-20-14okn-900.webp) Such a nice variety of skewers came out ~~ good amount for two people to share. We came in pretty hungry, and the portion didn't disappoint. ![Skewer platter portion sized for two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-21-1ilbn-900.webp) We took everything off the skewers to make it easier to eat lol. Once they're off the sticks, you can just pick them up one by one — so convenient. Perfect bite-sized food. ![Food taken off the skewers and arranged on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-22-ravh0-900.webp) ## When the AC gets cold, they even bring a blanket One extremely thoughtful thing about Robatayaki Sodam.... The air conditioning was blasting straight at our seat. Asking them to turn it off felt a bit much, so we just asked if they could turn the temperature up a little since it was too cold. They adjusted the airflow to blow upward instead, and even brought us a blanket like this. This kind of attentive service was so touching ~~🤭 ![Blanket brought over by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-23-rwelh-900.webp) ## Nagasaki champon for a soupy side dish I thought the skewers alone would fill us up, but as we kept chatting... we still wanted more, so we ordered Nagasaki champon. We needed something soupy, and it turned out to be a really nice choice. ![Nagasaki champon with mussels and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong-24-bczm7-900.webp) It had mussels, bean sprouts, and what looked like small baby octopus, so the broth had decent depth. There was also a mild, gentle spiciness layered in, so it never got tiring to eat. If you're deciding on a soupy side dish, I'd recommend the Nagasaki champon too!! Plenty of ingredients and a solid broth flavor. ## Why I'd recommend this as a Guro izakaya It's great for group gatherings in Guro Digital Complex, the staff were all kind, and the restrooms were clean. Above all, the menu variety and taste were all solid ~~ I'd recommend it as a Guro izakaya. Especially at the main seats, you can watch the fish being grilled right in front of you — it really captures the Japanese izakaya atmosphere well. The Naver receipt review event is also a great deal, so I'd recommend joining in ~~ haha. It was a fun, delicious time enjoying the izakaya with my unnie~ ## Where it is - Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch (로바다야끼소담 구로디지털단지점) - 97-3 Digital-ro 32-gil, 2nd floor, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 구로구 디지털로32길 97-3 2층 - 37.4832531, 126.9005088 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%EC%95%BC%EB%81%BC%EC%86%8C%EB%8B%B4%20%EA%B5%AC%EB%A1%9C%EB%94%94%EC%A7%80%ED%84%B8%EB%8B%A8%EC%A7%80%EC%A0%90/@37.4832531,126.9005088,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@low-light-ledger/gudi-izakaya-window-seat-nagasaki-jjamppong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
