A couple ordered 8 yang kkochi (lamb skewers), 8 lamb rib skewers, corn noodles in warm broth and shrimp fried rice, grilled them on a grill that turns the skewers by itself, and got a complimentary bean sprout stir-fry that cut the richness. Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao is a good pick when you want meat other than pork belly or beef. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, Unit 205, World Tower 3, 573 Chaekhyanggi-ro, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Parking**: 3 hours free - **Hours**: 3:30 PM – 1:00 AM - **Closed**: Mondays - **How to order**: Order and add items on the screen at your table - **What was ordered**: 8 lamb skewers, 8 lamb rib skewers, corn noodles in warm broth, shrimp fried rice - **On the house**: Stir-fried bean sprouts *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Vertical photo of the yang kkochi table setting at Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-01-79zub-1200.webp) ![Yang kkochi skewers cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-02-1g9j0-900.webp) Another entry in my ongoing diary of following my early-forties husband around for good food. Our meat-loving early-forties husband, who insists pork and beef aren't the only meats worth eating, was craving yang kkochi (grilled lamb skewers) this time. So I went looking for a good meat restaurant in Unjeong and found this place in Sannae-maeul — Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao. With yang kkochi, isn't there something oddly fun about just watching the skewers spin around and turn golden brown while you wait? Haha. We told ourselves we'd just have a simple, light meal today... but was 'simple' ever really possible for this early-forties couple? ![Exterior of the yang kkochi restaurant in Unjeong's Sannae-maeul](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-03-1xles-m-900.webp) ![Entrance of the restaurant on the 2nd floor of World Tower 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-04-1n46t-900.webp) ## Where is this lamb skewer restaurant in Sannae-maeul, Unjeong? Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao, located in Unjeong's Sannae-maeul, has its own charm compared to a typical meat restaurant. You don't have to keep flipping the meat on the grill yourself — you just set each skewer down and it spins on its own, and there's real satisfaction in plucking off each one as soon as it's perfectly cooked. Our early-forties husband's steps got noticeably quicker even before we walked in — clearly ready to eat properly today. The bouncy walk of a man in his forties, brought on by the promise of yang kkochi... ![Passage leading into the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-05-171n6-900.webp) ![Table fitted with a yang kkochi grilling setup](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-06-1dq5t-900.webp) ## What the restaurant and seating are like Walking inside, it had that same relaxed vibe typical of yang kkochi restaurants. Every table is set up for grilling skewers, and there were more tables than I expected, with good air circulation — it seemed like a solid spot for a group to come drink together, too. Since yang kkochi is a dish you grill yourself, the table setup and overall atmosphere matter more than you'd think. It wasn't too chaotic or noisy, so we were able to eat comfortably. ![Menu on the table's ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-07-i2a3q-900.webp) ## How you order and what's on the menu You order through the screen at the table, which was convenient — you can browse the menu and add items right away without having to keep calling a staff member over. Besides yang kkochi, there were affordable set menus and quite a lot of Chinese dishes too. There was a decent drinks selection that made my mouth water, but we'd driven... if only we hadn't brought the car, we could've had a drink... my husband in particular seemed extra disappointed about that!! ### Parking and opening hours Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao, located in Paju's World Tower 3, offers 3 hours of free parking. It's open from 3:30 PM to 1:00 AM, so it also seems like a good spot for a light late-night drink if you didn't bring a car. (Closed Mondays, though.) ![Table set with the ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-08-14fx0-900.webp) ## What two people ordered We ordered 8 skewers of yang kkochi, 8 skewers of lamb rib meat, corn noodles in warm broth, and shrimp fried rice. Clearly enough for 2 people, but we somehow ordered like 3-4 servings' worth... ![Basic side dishes and condiments set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-09-cpo06-900.webp) ![Complimentary bean sprout stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-10-bw671-900.webp) Basic side dishes and the complimentary bean sprout stir-fry. The bean sprout stir-fry especially kept its crunchy texture, and eating it alongside the yang kkochi was nice — it gave our palates a break instead of just eating meat nonstop. ![Raw yang kkochi skewers placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-11-k7n1y-900.webp) ## A grill that turns the skewers for you Finally, today's star ingredient arrives! Once you line the skewers up neatly, they start spinning on their own. Nothing burns on one side — everything cooks evenly all around as the surface gradually turns golden brown. This is exactly why people come here for yang kkochi. ![Yang kkochi cooking as it rotates automatically](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-12-hy7jf-900.webp) ![Close-up of golden-brown grilled yang kkochi](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-13-erh3p-898.webp) As the fat drips down over the fire, the meat's surface cooks up looking so delicious that even while taking photos, I just wanted to eat already. And yang kkochi really does photograph better when there are several skewers lined up together rather than just one or two. This alone made the trip to find a good Unjeong restaurant worth it, right? ![Skewers lined up together on the rotating grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-14-1270c-900.webp) Because the skewers rotate automatically, even a beginner can grill them easily, and it seemed like a comfortable setup for two people chatting over drinks. Not needing a dedicated grill master is a real plus, too! For once, our early-forties husband set down the tongs and ate in peace. ![Picking up a fully cooked yang kkochi skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-15-7cj2x-900.webp) ## How did the lamb skewers taste? My husband started pulling off the perfectly cooked skewers one by one. I could tell from his face without him saying a word. Wow, this is amazing — the distinctive flavor of lamb combined with that golden, fire-grilled taste made me reach for the next skewer as soon as I finished one. It has a charm clearly different from regular pork belly or beef, so even people who eat at meat restaurants often might enjoy switching things up with yang kkochi once in a while. In particular, we were told Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao ran for a long time at a different location before moving here, which is why it already has so many regulars — and seeing the thick, high-quality meat with no gamey smell, I could see why. ![Thick lamb rib meat skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-16-17smc-900.webp) ## Shrimp fried rice and corn noodles in warm broth Eating meat alone always feels a little lacking, so a carb dish showed up too. The rice was fried nice and fluffy, making it perfect to eat alongside the skewers. ![Fluffy shrimp fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-17-1b6up-900.webp) And once this spicy corn noodle soup showed up, game over!! A few skewers, a spoonful of hot broth, another skewer, a bite of fried rice, repeat — my husband, the pig, was on an endless loop! Whoever said we'd eat simply today... who was that again? ![Spicy corn noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-18-8jj8x-900.webp) ![Table with yang kkochi and corn noodles served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-19-i8bfc-900.webp) ![Overview of the table during the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-20-15bfe-900.webp) ## The verdict Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao was a good place to visit when you're craving something other than the usual pork belly or beef. Best of all, having the yang kkochi grill itself automatically was so convenient, and watching the skewers spin and cook was genuinely fun — there was never a dull moment during the meal. There are also plenty of other dishes to order alongside the skewers, making it a good place to visit with a group and share a variety of food. If you're looking for a good meat restaurant in Unjeong and craving something other than pork belly today, maybe give yang kkochi a try... Like my husband, you might find yourself talking less and less from the moment you pick up that first skewer... and honestly, a husband who goes quiet while eating something delicious is the most peaceful husband there is. ![The yang kkochi table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae-21-dmtr7-900.webp) Once again, we came home well fed alongside my early-forties husband. What should I feed our household's early-forties piggy next to make him happy? ## Where it is - Sannaemaeul Yang Kkochi & Qingdao (산내마을양꼬치앤칭따오) - 2F, Unit 205, World Tower 3, 573 Chaekhyanggi-ro, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 책향기로 573 월드타워3 2층 205호 - 37.7277936, 126.7343815 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%B0%EB%82%B4%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EC%96%91%EA%BC%AC%EC%B9%98%EC%95%A4%EC%B9%AD%EB%94%B0%EC%98%A4/@37.7277936,126.7343815,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mountain-road-plates/unjeong-lamb-skewer-rotating-grill-sannae/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
