A lamb skewer specialist near Gulpocheon Station in Samsan-dong, Bupyeong

Located in Samsan-dong, Neukdaewa Yang is a lamb specialist near Gulpocheon Station! I love meat and go eat lamb pretty often haha, so I visited again this time! Right now they're running an opening event where you get a free bottle of soju or beer, but since we drove, we skipped the freebie. If you don't need to drive though, definitely ask for it and enjoy haha.

They've been a lamb specialist since 2009, and thanks to their own patented technology, you can taste the juices bursting from whole lamb rib meat grilled directly over 600-degree fire. They're also certified as a food safety establishment, meaning fresh food made in a clean space, so I could trust the place even more haha. Honestly, you don't often see a lamb restaurant with a patent certification and its own developed technology certification lol, so I got even more curious about the signature lamb ribs.

Inside Neukdaewa Yang: atmosphere and what every seat comes with

The place is huge but really comfortable, which I loved. What really surprised me was that even though it's a grilling space, there wasn't much smell at all! Turns out Neukdaewa Yang boldly discards the parts that give off a gamey smell (30%) and, after carefully trimming every day for over 3 hours, only skewers the parts that guarantee the best texture and flavor. It might sound like overkill, but after eating there, I could genuinely taste that 30% difference.

At each seat, there was a mini fan! Such a thoughtful touch haha — it's nice enough having them on the table, but having one per chair meant everyone could use their own, which was so convenient. Definitely great for hot summer days haha.

They also had various sauces set up at each table so you could season your food however you liked.

And this!!!!!! A magic hammer for making slush soju! Tap the bottom of the soju bottle lightly 2-3 times with this hammer, give it a light shake, and instantly you've got cold, slushy soju haha. I can't believe they put such a clever item at every table — isn't that just great haha.

Lastly, there's a self-service corner where you can grab extra side dishes and utensils, so if you run low on peppers or pickled radish, you can easily go get more haha.

There was a wide variety of lamb skewers and lamb rib dishes, and what I ordered was kkwabaerou (₩19,000), signature lamb rib skewers (₩29,000), and zero-sugar cola (₩2,000)!

How to grill the signature lamb ribs over charcoal, and how they taste

The signature lamb ribs come with three pieces per serving — since I ordered 2 servings, I got a 6-piece set!

They were so much bigger than in the photos haha, I was surprised and thought, how am I supposed to grill this? Turns out you just grab two pieces at once and flip them while grilling! It's a different grilling method from the usual automatically-rotating lamb skewers haha.

Once the charcoal was set, the meat went straight on. It wasn't inconvenient at all — actually, watching the meat cook was kind of fun haha. I carefully grilled it to my preferred doneness and dug in!

Before eating, they gave us sushi rice haha — sushi rice at a meat restaurant, isn't that such a novel idea? I got it as a service item! The vinegar flavor wasn't too strong, so it went great with the meat haha.

They also gave us cola, along with a little handle to make pouring easier haha. Every little detail here shows real thoughtfulness. No wonder it's a well-loved lamb restaurant, no wonder it's a favorite in Samsan-dong haha.

Tada, here's how it turned out grilled. Doesn't the meat quality itself look amazing? It looks totally different from the usual lamb skewers, so it was so fascinating and I couldn't wait to eat haha.

The lamb ribs had a bit of fat, and the juices just burst inside — the meaty aroma was incredible. There was none of that gamey lamb smell, so it was really easy to eat. I like lamb, but sometimes eating lamb skewers I get a bit put off by the smell — here, absolutely none of that! It was actually as tender as beef and so delicious haha.

The signature soy sauce with sushi rice combo

I usually prefer the lamb skewer sauce on the left, but here... haha the signature soy sauce on the right is seriously so good. I like spicy peppers too, but this one has just the right level of spice so I ended up eating way more, which was great.

The tender meat pairs perfectly with this salty-spicy soy sauce.

Remember the sushi rice they gave us earlier — they also gave wasabi with it! I put a bit of wasabi on the rice, topped it with meat dipped in the soy sauce, then added a pepper on top — seriously so~~ good!! Everything was fresh and delicious, I couldn't stop eating haha.

Kkwabaerou (sweet and sour pork), 19,000 won

The kkwabaerou arrived! Coated in a tangy sauce!

Each piece was huge haha, so I carefully cut it up and dug in.

Chewy fried crust with tender pork inside. Perfect whenever craving something tangy in between bites of lamb rib haha.

Lamb ribs with no gamey smell, plus the Naver receipt event

I genuinely couldn't detect any gamey smell! None at all, and I got to eat so happily and deliciously haha. While enjoying the meal, I noticed a sign nearby — participating in the Naver receipt event gets you free signature lamb rib skewers!!! And shockingly, it said they give it out based on the number of people in your party, which I thought was amazing haha. One serving is 3 pieces for ₩15,000, so if three people come, you basically get a free serving. Definitely a great event to join!

The women-only restroom at Neukdaewa Yang

After finishing my meal, I was heading to the restroom when a staff member told me there was one further inside — and I was so pleasantly surprised to find a women-only restroom!!!!!! I'd genuinely never seen anything like this before haha. There's a restroom outside that both men and women can use, but there's also a separate women-only restroom tucked inside for a cleaner, more comfortable experience.

The restroom itself was also very clean, so I could finish the meal on a pleasant note haha.

Is Neukdaewa Yang Samsan worth a visit? Final verdict

Being a certified food safety establishment gave me confidence, and it was shocking that they discard 30% of the meat just for the best flavor — but tasting it made it clear why they do it, another shock in itself haha. Living up to its reputation as a top lamb skewer restaurant in Samsan-dong, I had genuinely delicious lamb ribs and left so happy. It's great for group gatherings too, and I came on a date this time, but I'm already thinking about going back again soon haha.

A perfect spot to visit with friends, for a group gathering, or on a date — if you love lamb, definitely check out Neukdaewa Yang Samsan, where the lamb comes with no gamey smell at all!
