Yeouido izakaya with granola ice cream finish: lamb rack at Nani

Finding Nani Yeouido Branch in front of Yeouido Station Exit 3

Nani Yeouido, a Yeouido izakaya located right at Exit 3 of Yeouido Station. The lamb looked so good in photos that I came for lamb and drinks, hahaha.

Nani has great vibes from the outside already. You can book through Catch Table or Naver Reservation, so I'd recommend reserving before you go — it's popular enough that you might have to wait otherwise, hahaha.

Inside Nani Yeouido Branch: what the private rooms are like

The vibe is really nice and the interior is split into private-feeling sections, so it looked great for a date or a group gathering, haha.

If you're looking for a Yeouido room bar, this is one I'd recommend — Nani izakaya in Yeouido.

It genuinely feels like you've traveled to Japan... the atmosphere is really nice, right?

I ordered the lamb shoulder rack and the shoyu suji jorim!

The complimentary seaweed and fried hardtack that come standard were both so tasty, they properly got my appetite going.

Shoyu suji jorim, 25,000 won: braised beef tendon in soy sauce

Shoyu suji jorim (braised beef tendon in soy sauce).

I normally love suji (beef tendon) and order it whenever I see it on a menu — it was chewy and well-seasoned, sweet and salty and delicious.

Packed with mushrooms too.

Lamb shoulder rack, 43,000 won: is there any gamey smell?

And now for the main event, the lamb shoulder rack.

Honestly, if you come to Nani you have to get the lamb. I saw a lot of reviewers ordering it, so I followed along and ordered it too — and now I get why it's the signature dish.

It comes already grilled, and it's grilled really well — genuinely delicious. On par with a dedicated lamb specialty restaurant.

There are two sauces too, so you can dip according to your taste. Not a trace of gamey smell — the texture and quality of the meat were really good!!!

Ending the meal with granola-topped ice cream

To finish, I had ice cream as a palate cleanser. They topped it with granola, so it was really, really delicious!!! To think a lamb spot this good exists in Yeouido... I'll definitely have to come back often >_<
