Three friends arrived straight from a Hyrox workout and ordered 4 sets of mixed skewers with a small sashimi platter for 44,000 won, plus soju at 5,000 won and a fried egg banchan for each person. With rooms and partitioned seats that make conversation easy, and sets running 3,000–5,000 won cheaper than a la carte, Robatayaki Sodam is a strong value pick for a protein-heavy night out. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–01:30 - **Reservations and groups**: Reservations and group bookings available - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Guro Digital Complex Station, at the entrance to Kkalkkal-geori coming from E-mart - **Order for 3**: 4 sets of mixed skewers + small sashimi platter, 44,000 won - **Drinks**: Soju 5,000 won - **Set discount**: Sets cost 3,000–5,000 won less than ordering a la carte - **Banchan**: One fried egg per person - **Perks**: Naver Place coupon: one free skewer and 10% off sake; free mini tempura for a visitor review; in-store 3.33 event - **Price reference**: ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 · ₩44,000 ≈ $31.5 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.6 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* After finishing the currently trending Hyrox workout with friends 😤, we decided to grab a drink to celebrate — this was our first stop. After working out, hunger hits hard and your body craves protein, so I really thought about where to go. This is the place I picked. Let's eat vegetables and meat from skewers, and get healthy protein from sashimi! I'd been to this izakaya in Guro Digital Complex before and remembered it being ✔️great for conversation ✔️good value, with nice partitioned seating. So here's my review from a return visit after a while. ![Exterior of Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-01-1l6ye-900.webp) 🕰️Hours: daily 17:00–01:30 📍Reservations and group bookings available ## How to find Robatayaki Sodam from Guro Digital Complex Station ![Alley leading from Guro Digital Complex Station to Kkalkkal-geori](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-02-11kzn-900.webp) ![Street view at the entrance to Kkalkkal-geori near E-mart](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-03-1vk6m-900.webp) ![Stairway up to Robatayaki Sodam's 2nd floor entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-04-ffvnt-900.webp) It's right at the entrance to Kkalkkal-geori from E-mart, and it's a 3-minute walk from Guro Digital Complex Station. We walked from the station. It's not a narrow drinking alley but a wide street, so it felt safe to walk through too. ## Inside Robatayaki Sodam: dotchi counter, tables and private rooms ![Izakaya interior with rooms and large tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-05-1j0c4-900.webp) ![Lobby table seats with hanging blinds and Japanese-style decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-06-15vti-900.webp) When we went in and looked around, there were really so many rooms..! The tables were big enough for 4–6 people to sit comfortably. The tables in the lobby had blinds hanging down, which made the space feel private enough for conversation. There's a big window that makes it feel spacious, and the dotchi (counter) seats looked fun since you can watch the skewers being grilled over charcoal. The Japanese-style decor also made the food feel even tastier somehow ☺️✨ ## Robatayaki Sodam menu and how the skewer sets are put together ![Menu at Robatayaki Sodam Guro branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-07-4lkz4-900.webp) ![Menu page listing set combos](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-08-rcrjk-900.webp) ![À la carte skewer menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-09-1xivo-900.webp) ![Sashimi and side dish menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-10-1mf7s-900.webp) ![Drinks menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-11-uz2vm-900.webp) ![Additional izakaya menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-12-1yn2u-900.webp) ![Menu page showing set combos and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-13-39mg5-900.webp) Sets are ₩3,000–5,000 cheaper than ordering à la carte, so it makes sense to order a set here. ![Sign for the 3.33 event and coupon perks](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-14-1ussh-900.webp) ⭐️There was also a 3.33 event running in the store. - Use the Naver Place coupon for 1 free skewer type and 10% off sake - Write a Naver visitor review for a special mini tempura gift ## What three of us ordered, plus the fried egg banchan Our order for 3 was 4 sets of mixed skewers + small sashimi platter for ₩44,000, plus soju for ₩5,000. The banchan included one fried egg per person. ![One fried egg per person served as banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-15-16nea-900.webp) This kind of service is just so nice — even better since we'd just worked out and the egg showed up, and it's great to have with a drink before the main menu arrives too. ## Handmade charcoal-grilled skewers after a Hyrox workout The skewers came out first! ![First plate of charcoal-grilled mixed skewers served](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-16-559gp-900.webp) ![Close-up of handmade skewers with charcoal aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-17-1bc6i-900.webp) ![Mixed skewers with vegetables and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-18-1tu1l-900.webp) ![Soju glass next to the grilled skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-19-118h2-900.webp) ![Table spread with skewers and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-20-mc81y-1200.webp) 🍢 Handmade charcoal-grilled skewers The charcoal aroma was rich but nothing was burnt — everything came out juicy and well-grilled, which honestly impressed me. Crisp outside, full of juice inside — every bite had that flavor spreading through it, and it was delicious as expected. We ordered soju, but I seriously considered ordering a draft beer too... In the end I stuck with soju since mixing drinks means a headache tomorrow, but this would pair perfectly with beer or a highball too. ## Is the mixed sashimi at Robatayaki Sodam fresh? ![Plate of thickly sliced mixed sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-21-9u2q4-900.webp) ![Small sashimi platter with seasonal fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-22-v2eqm-900.webp) ![Close-up of a single slice of mixed sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-23-m0toj-900.webp) ![Table with mixed skewers and sashimi together](https://img.superchart.com/images/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers/robatayaki-sodam-gudi-post-workout-skewers-24-4y6bn-900.webp) The mixed sashimi looked so fresh my eyes were satisfied before I even took a bite — a variety of seasonal fish, sliced thick and neat. One taste and there wasn't a hint of fishy flavor, just clean and crisp — I thought, this was a great choice after working out, glad I ordered it. You could really feel the owner's dedication to ingredient quality. ## Final verdict on Robatayaki Sodam in Guro ⭐️Final thoughts⭐️ - Spacious, comfortable space & attentive service: Great for a private gathering or a relaxed drinking session. Add the staff's warm, careful friendliness on top, and the comfortable atmosphere doubles — 😙 - Outstanding quality: The combo of handmade skewers, grilled to order over charcoal with the juices still alive, and fresh sashimi with zero fishy taste, was perfect. - Satisfying value perks: With various sets and coupon events, you can pick up plenty of little perks — 1 free skewer, 10% off sake, a mini tempura gift — so it's great to plan your visit around them.
