Mullae lamb BBQ with lemon aperitif and yeontai highball: Yangnam

Today I went to Yangnam Yanghwa near Mullae Station, a place with a swanky vibe where you can enjoy insanely good lamb on an all-you-can-eat plan. Staff grill the lamb right for you and the sides were all excellent too — as a Yeongdeungpo local, I highly recommend this genuine Mullae-dong gem! It's really great for a date, haha.

Where is Yangnam Yanghwa and when is it open?

Yangnam Yanghwa is at 6-2 Yeongdeungpo-ro 18-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, a 9-minute walk from Exit 3 of Mullae Station. It's open daily from 12:00 to 24:00, year-round.

Counter seats and the annex room at Yangnam Yanghwa

Walk into Yangnam Yanghwa and you'll find a long row of warm wood-toned counter (dachi) seats with a lot of character. Since it's bar-style, you can watch the meat being grilled right in front of you, and the layout was perfect for a cozy chat over a special date night!

For reference, groups of 3 or more can use the separate annex space (photo on the left), so it'd also be great for gatherings or work dinners, haha.

Yangnam Yanghwa menu and prices

Yangnam Yanghwa really has just one signature menu — the 'Premium Lamb Dining'! For 38,900 won per adult, you get lamb ribs, T-bone steak, grilled vegetables, and dessert, all unlimited (free meat refills) for 2 hours.

On top of that, there's a solid lineup of sides (seafood ramyeon, bibim noodles, garlic rice) and drinks like yeontai highball, Jim Beam highball, soju, and beer, so you can enjoy it however you like!

A refreshing start: the 3% lemon aperitif

As soon as you sit down at Yangnam Yanghwa, they first bring out a cute mini glass of 3% lemon aperitif! I cheers'd it and took a sip — the sweet-tart lemon flavor hit with a sharp zing that totally cleared my palate and cranked up my appetite. What a sense of style to start with, seriously.

Premium Lamb Dining for two, grilled by the staff

We ordered the Premium Lamb Dining for two! The best thing about Yangnam Yanghwa is that staff grill the meat to the right doneness from start to finish, the whole way through!!

They plate up thick, juicy lamb T-bone and tender lamb ribs, plus vegetables like eggplant, onion, green onion, and cherry tomatoes, all grilled to a perfect golden brown.

There was zero gamey smell whatsoever, just savory juices exploding in every bite — I kept gasping while eating... It was so good that of course we refilled the meat once more and cleaned the whole plate. Yum yum 😋

Yeontai highball: the best match for lamb

You can't have great lamb without a drink! I picked the yeontai highball. The subtle pineapple aroma of yeontai gaoliang liquor blended with tart lemon and crisp carbonation, cutting through the richness of the lamb beautifully!! It was sharp yet sweet, and I kept marveling with every sip — you all know yeontai goes with Chinese food, right?!!!!

All three sides at Yangnam Yanghwa, finished off

It just feels wrong not to order sides when eating meat, right? So out of curiosity I ordered every single side dish at Yangnam Yanghwa and demolished them all haha.

• Garlic rice (4,000 won): Loaded with crispy garlic chips for the best savory flavor! Wrap some in the seaweed that comes with it, add garlic rice and a piece of lamb, and you'll get a real smile of satisfaction.
• Bibim noodles (4,000 won): Sweet and tangy noodles topped with cool ice and a boiled egg! Wrap them around a nicely grilled lamb rib and one bite in, they just keep disappearing before you know it.
• Seafood ramyeon (7,000 won): Loaded with crab and seafood, the broth is deep and refreshing! Springy noodles with a spicy-hot broth felt like a hangover cure and a drinking snack at the same time — super satisfying.

A clean finish: hallabong sherbet

After stuffing yourself with meat and sides, they give you hallabong (Korean citrus) sherbet for dessert! The cool, tangy hallabong sherbet completely washes away the lingering taste of meat — from the aperitif at the start to the dessert at the end, it felt like a perfectly composed course meal, haha.

Opening event at Yangnam Yanghwa (through August 31)

They're currently running an opening event with soju and beer at 3,000 won and Tsingtao highball at 4,000 won!! I got a cheap highball too, and honestly it's such a good deal — be sure to stop by Yangnam Yanghwa before August ends for a date with great lamb and drinks!!

My one-line verdict on Yangnam Yanghwa

• Comfortable, high-quality all-you-can-eat premium lamb
• Great counter seats for dates, plus an annex for groups
• A perfectly composed course from lemon aperitif to dessert sherbet
• Highly recommend the highball plus garlic rice, bibim noodles, and seafood ramyeon sides!!

From the taste to the atmosphere to the friendly service, Yangnam Yanghwa in Mullae-dong was flawless! Definitely visit on a day you want to stuff yourself with lamb grilled for you in a swanky space. It's a perfect date course!! A genuine Yeongdeungpo and Mullae Station favorite — so satisfying with the real lamb that I already booked my next visit 😍
