Medium-rare house steak with fried side dishes

A steak cooked just right to medium-rare, served together with delicious sweet potato fries and regular fries — a visual that makes your mouth water just looking at it, and the smell was completely fragrant haha

Sweet potato fries instead of plain potato fries

The steak may be the main event, but the side that comes with it matters a lot too, right? Usually you'd get regular fries, but I love that Hey Joji serves sweet potato fries instead! The sweet, crispy sweet potato fries pair really well with the steak

How the Hey Joji house steak tasted

Overall the food was delicious and the restaurant's atmosphere was exotic, so I felt good the whole time I was eating. Especially since they have a variety of pastas with their own distinct character rather than the usual common dishes, I'd love to try other menu items next time I visit!

This time I ordered the signature house steak, and I really loved the combination of the perfectly cooked, tender meat with the crispy-sweet sweet potato fries. The portion of steak was more generous than I expected too, so it made for a hearty single meal

Above all, the restaurant itself is cute and has that overseas-trip atmosphere, so it seems like a great fit for anyone looking for a Yeonnam-dong date restaurant. It's also a good place to visit with friends for good food, or on a day when you want to eat leisurely somewhere with a nice vibe!

If you're looking for a steak or pasta restaurant in Yeonnam-dong, try visiting Hey Joji, where you can enjoy both atmosphere and flavor together :) I want to come back next time to try other pasta menu items!
