Heading up to the second floor, the space felt more spacious with roomier seats, so it seemed well suited to bigger groups too.

With the charcoal aroma added on top, the overall flavor was even better. ### Chicken thigh skewer The thigh meat was soft and juicy, and you could taste the juices more with every bite. It wasn't tough and was seasoned just right, making it the easiest one to enjoy. ### Chicken wing skewer The skin was grilled to a golden brown and nutty, while the meat inside kept a chewy texture. Grilled over charcoal, it had a subtle smoky note that paired well as a drinking snack. ### Chicken breast skewer Clean-tasting yet still full of that distinct savory chicken flavor. Grilled over charcoal so the outside was golden and the inside stayed moist, it had a satisfying bite too. ### Chicken skin skewer The chewy-yet-crispy texture of the grilled chicken skin was the appeal here. With the nutty flavor plus the charcoal aroma, this was the one I kept reaching for. 🍺 ## Yakisoba for 10,000 won plus an extra chicken-scallion skewer ![Yakisoba at Hanamato Daehangno Hyehwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato-20-k0ke1-900.webp) ![Yakisoba noodles coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato-21-5jupy-m-900.webp) Yakisoba, ₩10,000. The springy noodles were well coated in a salty, umami-rich sauce that really got the appetite going. There was a subtle smoky note plus the nutty flavor typical of stir-fried noodles, and it wasn't too intense, making it a great match alongside the yakitori. The noodles held their texture without going mushy, staying pleasantly chewy — satisfying all around! Charcoal-grilled chicken and scallion skewer, ₩4,000.

It wasn't overly heavy or greasy, and the salty seasoning made it perfect as a drinking snack~ In particular, the beansprouts stayed nice and crunchy, which helped balance out the richness of the pork belly. 🥢 Sharing it alongside the yakitori was a great pairing, and it was hearty yet easy to enjoy without feeling too heavy~ ![Crispy-grilled yakigyoza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato/hyehwa-izakaya-samgyeop-sukju-gyoza-hanamato-24-1n4gb-900.webp) ## Yakigyoza (pan-fried dumplings), 4,900 won Yakigyoza, ₩4,900.
