Yeouido Station izakaya hardtack starter and extra lamb rack: Nani
In short
Nani Yeouido Branch is a Japanese-style izakaya on the 3rd floor of the S-TRENUE Building by Yeouido Station in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. Arriving at 7pm, the writer was served a savory gunppang (Korean hardtack biscuit) starter as soon as the table was taken, then ordered butter garlic king shrimp for 33,000 won, a lamb shoulder rack for 43,000 won and garlic rice for 2,000 won. The shoulder rack at Nani was juicy with no gamey smell, well worth adding another piece for 14,000 won.

I went to Nani Yeouido Branch, a well-known spot near Yeouido Station. I've been eating out in Yeouido a lot lately — with so many office workers around, there are so many good restaurants there :)
What is Nani Yeouido Branch like at 7pm, and where are the window seats?
Nani Yeouido Branch, the restaurant I visited near Yeouido Station, is a Yeouido izakaya. Since the sun sets late these days, I visited around 7pm and the place still had that classic Japanese restaurant feel.
It's set up with tables for four,
and the window seats are great for a date!
Gunppang (Korean hardtack) as the free starter
Once we sat down at Nani Yeouido Branch, the default side dish came out. In particular, the savory gilbap (dried bread stick) makes a great appetizer!
What to order at Nani Yeouido Branch and what it costs
Recommended menu items include assorted sashimi, lamb shoulder rack, butter garlic king shrimp, perilla oil octopus pasta, soy-braised beef tendon, and there's a huge variety!
- Lamb shoulder rack ₩43,000
- Butter garlic king shrimp ₩33,000
- Garlic rice ₩2,000
Butter garlic king shrimp with garlic rice at Nani
The butter garlic king shrimp comes out with shrimp grilled in butter, garlic, and olive oil, served alongside a salad!
Since there's a generous amount of sauce,
I'd definitely recommend ordering the garlic rice and mixing it into the sauce :)
Can you see how plump the shrimp are? If you visit Nani near Yeouido Station, be sure to try this dish :)
Three lamb shoulder racks at Nani: any gamey smell?
Next up is three pieces of lamb shoulder rack
The lamb at Nani near Yeouido Station is imported lamb under 10 months old from clean Australian farms, and the shoulder rack is the shoulder part of the lamb.
I've always liked lamb ribs to begin with, and this one was juicy and had no gamey smell at all — really enjoyable.
There are two sauces to dip according to your taste, and both are really delicious.
Adding another shoulder rack, plus sake
Extra orders are ₩14,000 per piece! True to being a Yeouido izakaya, there's a wide variety of sake and other drinks to enjoy alongside. If you love to drink, this Yeouido spot — where a chef with 15 years of experience serves up delicious Japanese-style pub food — is well worth a visit!
