Lamb skewer restaurant near Gyodae, Monday soju-beer night: Hanseong

On an unbearable Monday, you just have to eat lamb skewers ✌🏻

I'm a somaek (soju mixed with beer) lover, and I successfully crushed it with lamb and somaek.

Where is Hanseong Yang Kkochi Gyodae Branch 2 and when is it open?

Hanseong Yang Kkochi (한성양꼬치) Gyodae Branch 2 is a lamb skewer restaurant at 63 Seocho-daero 50-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul (Seocho-dong 1576-26), open daily from 12:00 to 24:00. It's within walking distance of Gyodae Station, so it's great for an after-work dinner or a drink.

So many customers, you say..? The place was packed with people. (Is lamb skewers on Monday some kind of unwritten rule?; I was shocked haha) Anyway, a popular place is popular for a reason, I guess~

We ordered lamb skewers, lamb loin skewers, and di san xian, plus ice-cold somaek >< ✔️ Lamb loin skewers + lamb skewers is the recommended combo, so we tried it, and seriously.. it was delicious, two thumbs up

Does Gwidong like somaek more? Or does Woong like somaek more? I honestly have no idea haha Anyway, I love people who drink somaek well..💛

Lamb loin skewers vs regular lamb skewers: what's the difference?

The lamb loin skewers at Hanseong Yang Kkochi Gyodae Branch 2 are ₩23,000 for one serving of six pieces. Compared with the regular ₩17,000 lamb skewers, the meat is much thicker and the texture is more tender.

#LambLoinSkewers were totally my thing The texture is much more tender than regular lamb skewers and the meat is thick, so it's great to chew-!!!

If you like lamb, I really recommend ordering the lamb loin skewers too 🫶🏻

Gwidong and I were so impressed we ate the loin skewers while clapping. One serving comes with six pieces, so we split them, three each, nice and fair.

Di san xian side dish: good even if you don't like eggplant

The di san xian at Hanseong Yang Kkochi Gyodae Branch 2 is ₩18,000, a dish of eggplant, potato and green pepper in a sweet-salty sauce. I first tried it in Jamsil and fell for it, so I had high hopes, and it exceeded them here too.

The di san xian I ordered as a side also beat my expectations I first tried it in Jamsil and fell in love It's still delicious after a long time ㅜ💜

Eggplant, potato, green pepper + a sweet-salty sauce, a perfect match Even people who don't usually eat eggplant (I'm an eggplant lover, though) could enjoy it, it's that soft and moist Maybe it was even better because we ate it warm Eggplant, potato, eggplant, on infinite repeat

The #LambSkewers have almost no gamey smell and stay juicy Hanseong Yang Kkochi isn't a lamb skewer hotspot for nothing-!!

Best combo of the night: soy sauce with cheongyang chili

The best combo of the day was Cheongyang chili + soy sauce 🌶️ Put thinly sliced Cheongyang chili in soy sauce and dip the lamb skewers in it, pure heaven-; The sharp, spicy kick is pretty addictive, so we kept eating it this way haha

Cold somaek blew away all my work fatigue, and with the meat and di san xian, it was a perfect dinner 💕
