Yeouido city-view izakaya after work: pork sprout stir-fry at Nani

An izakaya recommended as a Yeouido spot near Yeouido Station — this is my review of Nani Yeouido Branch.

How long is the walk from Yeouido Station to Nani Yeouido Branch?

Nani Yeouido Branch is on the 3rd floor of the S-TRENUE building, just a 1-minute walk from Yeouido Station. I headed up to the 3rd floor wanting a cozy drink after work.

I often come to this building for lunch, but the mood is completely different at night — it felt totally new.

Overlooking an intersection surrounded by buildings, it's easily the best-vibe spot among the Yeouido Station restaurants nearby.

It's so convenient to stop by after work that I've put it at the top of my go-to list of Yeouido bars. As a standout Yeouido izakaya, it feels upscale from the entrance on.

Curtained booths at Nani: a private corner for two

Nani Yeouido Branch's space is well divided by curtains, giving us our own cozy corner. The waiting area outside the entrance made it clear right away how popular this place is.

It was a scorching day, but the moment the door opened, cool AC hit us — instant mood boost!

The city view through the window is so romantic I'd highly recommend it for a Yeouido date. True to a leading Yeouido bar, it's decorated calm and neat.

The lighting has that emotional, signature izakaya-in-Yeouido feel that puts you completely at ease. A great romantic date spot for couples, and one that deserves a spot on any hot Yeouido Station restaurant map.

Smoky pork and bean sprout stir-fry and premium lamb shoulder rack

What we picked that day at Nani Yeouido Branch: premium lamb shoulder rack and pork and bean sprout stir-fry. After sitting down and studying the menu carefully, those were our two picks.

The fresh vinegar salad that came as a basic starter really woke up my appetite — very satisfying!

Soon after, the pork and bean sprout stir-fry arrived with a faint smoky aroma. Generous pork and still-crunchy bean sprouts — a solid izakaya dish in Yeouido.

Next came the premium lamb shoulder rack, grilled tender with no gamey smell. Dipped in fragrant basil pesto, it tasted every bit like a food you'd expect from a renowned Yeouido Station restaurant.

The quality of the food rivaled well-known Yeouido raw fish restaurants — honestly impressive.

With a cool highball and draft beer alongside, it turned into a lively night at this Yeouido bar.

With such tempting izakaya snacks, the drinks went down all too easily.

Sashimi and seafood nabe at Nani: does the pairing hold up?

Nani Yeouido Branch is also known for its varied lineup of fresh sashimi. The oceanic freshness is good enough to call it raw-fish-restaurant class in Yeouido.

Add a spicy, tangy seafood nabe and it's the perfect drinking companion. Details are much cleaner than famous Yeouido raw fish restaurant lineups.

These hearty Yeouido Station restaurant dishes are perfect for a work dinner with colleagues. Prices run a bit on the higher side, but the space and food quality make it worth it.

A truly excellent Yeouido izakaya delivered a wonderful date night. It's become my favorite Yeouido izakaya and a great spot for gatherings at a stylish Yeouido bar.

Is Nani Yeouido Branch worth it? Verdict and visit tips

Nani was a comforting end to a tiring day after work — a perfect Yeouido izakaya! It even carries a neat, refined mood like a Yeouido raw fish restaurant, so I think I'll be back often.

Excellent food befitting a top-tier Yeouido Station restaurant, paired with a stunning city view — a cozy Yeouido date, successfully done!

I'd strongly recommend it for a proper Yeouido date or a gathering with coworkers. A hideaway of a Yeouido bar where you can enjoy sashimi and lamb rack that feel like top-tier raw fish restaurant fare, all in one place. End of review.
