After a show nearby, a short wait during the dinner peak led to a Cajun shrimp rosé pasta, spicy rather than heavy and holding four whole shrimp, and a jambon butter cheddar pasta built on rigatoni, with cheddar and a slow heat behind it. Hey Joji suits a date night when you want something beyond the usual pasta menu. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 12:00 - 21:00 (last order 20:00) - **Groups**: Welcome - **Parking**: No dedicated parking lot - **How to order**: QR code at the table (no menu photos) - **What we ordered**: Cajun shrimp rosé pasta, jambon butter cheddar pasta - **Extra**: Free oatmeal candy after paying *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Hey Joji signature photo in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-01-i8xna-1200.webp) Caught the Fishing Girls show and headed straight to Hey Joji right next door for dinner. It's already a well-known pasta spot in Yeonnam-dong, so I waited a bit before getting in. They serve American home-style comfort food, and the vibe is great for a date spot — sure enough, both tables next to us were couples..!! Hey Joji mainly serves pasta, risotto and steak. ## Hey Joji hours and parking - ⏰ Hours: 12:00 - 21:00 - Last order 20:00 - Group seating available ⭕️ - No dedicated parking lot ## Inside Hey Joji: an American home in a Yeonnam-dong alley ![Exterior of Hey Joji tucked in a Yeonnam-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-02-lpska-966.webp) Walk down the Yeonnam-dong alley and Hey Joji appears right away. The exterior already feels foreign, and since it goes for an American home-style vibe, the interior is bursting with that overseas feeling too. ![Interior of Hey Joji with an American home vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-03-1b0rw-966.webp) ![Hey Joji interior decorated with cute little props](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-04-wt7i0-966.webp) ![Hey Joji seating area photographed after the crowd thinned](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-05-8xgtc-966.webp) It feels like visiting a cute American home decked out for Christmas. During the dinner peak the place was packed and there was a wait, but it thinned out afterward, so I got some photos in! ## Hey Joji menu and QR ordering at the table ![QR code order guide on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-06-1vxsw-966.webp) You order by scanning the QR code on the table, and they serve pasta, risotto, steak, salad and more. There are no photos on the QR menu, so I checked the pictures on Naver Place and picked whatever looked tasty. Cajun shrimp rosé pasta and jambon butter cheddar pasta. I originally wanted to order a salad too, but it was sold out that day, so we settled on two pastas! Cajun shrimp was my friend's pick, and I went for the jambon butter cheddar pasta since it sounded unfamiliar and I'd never seen it before. The visuals were pretty too! ## Two plates of pasta at Hey Joji ![Hey Joji table with pre-set cups](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-07-vmnxo-966.webp) ![Pickles served alongside the food](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-08-1felw-966.webp) Cups are pre-set on the table, and pickles come out along with the food when you order. ![Two plates of pasta served at once](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-09-1f2ts-966.webp) The dishes arrived almost at the same time, so we could enjoy them together. The place was packed but the food still came out fast, which I appreciated. The bowls were also big and packed full of pasta, so the portions were generous too — loved that! ![Hey Joji Cajun shrimp rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-10-low61-966.webp) ### Cajun shrimp rosé pasta with four whole shrimp This one was my friend's pick, the Cajun shrimp rosé pasta. As I get older I don't crave heavy food as much, so I usually lean toward oil-based pasta — it had been a while since I had rosé pasta. But maybe because it was a bit spicy, it wasn't heavy at all! The sauce was really tasty and the noodles were cooked just right, al dente, so I slurped it up happily. I'd been drinking beer the whole show, so I was a little less than starving, but it was still good enough that I scraped the bowl clean. ![Plump shrimp inside the rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-11-ijc04-966.webp) ![Picking up a shrimp from the Cajun shrimp rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-12-1v7b7-966.webp) There were four shrimp in it, and they were plump and really tasty. Shrimp were so good, haha. If you go to Hey Joji, I really recommend this menu!!! Not heavy at all, plump shrimp, generous portion, delicious! ![A plate of Hey Joji's jambon butter cheddar pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-13-17via-966.webp) ### Jambon butter cheddar pasta made with rigatoni This was my new challenge, the jambon butter cheddar pasta. Unfamiliar name, unusual and distinctive visuals! But it's pretty, haha. Even prettier once photographed. ![Close-up of pasta piled high with jambon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-14-1vlyv-966.webp) ![Jambon butter cheddar pasta topped generously with cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-15-1tjnu-966.webp) The pasta is piled high with jambon (ham) on top, plus a generous amount of refreshing cherry tomatoes. ![Jambon butter cheddar pasta made with rigatoni noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-16-17dj9-966.webp) Instead of regular pasta noodles, it uses rigatoni, so the texture was different and fun. The taste was also new to me — cheddar cheese flavor comes through, then a spicy kick hits, so it wasn't heavy at all and felt like something different. Actually this one is spicier than the rosé, so if you can't handle spice well, I'd recommend a different menu. ![Free oatmeal candy available at the checkout counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta/hey-george-yeonnam-post-show-dinner-pasta-17-nyo6b-966.webp) When you pay and leave, you can also grab some free oatmeal candy, which I love. ## Is Hey Joji a good pasta date spot in Yeonnam-dong?
