Three lamb cuts in one set at a Gwanggyo lamb BBQ: Hwaro Yangmi

Hi everyone! Lamb cuts can have pretty different textures and flavors depending on the part, so I like tasting a little of each rather than sticking to just one haha. This time I went with my daughter after some shopping and tried the Special Mixed Set at Hwaro Yangmi. The set came with shoulder rack, lamb sirloin, and seasoned lamb short ribs together, so I could enjoy everything from mild cuts to seasoned meat in one go 👍👍

Where is Hwaro Yangmi Gwanggyo Sanghyeon Station Branch, and when is it open?

Hwaro Yangmi Gwanggyo Sanghyeon Station Branch is located at 경기 용인시 수지구 광교중앙로296번길 6 광교어드벤스힐 1층. Hours are weekdays 16:00–23:00, weekends 12:00–22:00.

The parking area was spacious, so even as a beginner driver I parked easily! Parked on basement level 3 and headed up for lamb~~

Inside Hwaro Yangmi: the dining room and the lamb aging fridge

The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I walked into Hwaro Yangmi Gwanggyo Sanghyeon Station Branch was the aging fridge where the meat is kept. It really gave off the vibe of a place that handles meat professionally!

The store was kept clean overall, and it really had that classic Korean barbecue restaurant feel haha. A space that made me realize it had been a while since I'd had lamb! Inside, seating is mostly 4-person tables, and each table has its own grill and ventilation system.

What comes in the Special Mixed Set: shoulder rack, lamb sirloin, seasoned short ribs

The banchan (side dishes) were also a good match for lamb. Onion, chili, kimchi varieties, wasabi and more came out, nice to mix in between bites of meat.

And then, finally, the Special Mixed Set arrived ❣️ Shoulder rack, lamb sirloin, and seasoned lamb short ribs all came out at once, and it was more generous than I expected. Each cut looked noticeably different, so it was fun comparing them one by one 😆

Charcoal-grilled lamb shoulder rack you eat off the bone

Bright red charcoal gets placed under the grill, and just the sight of it gets you excited 🫶🏻 As soon as the meat hits the grill there's a sizzling sound, and smoke rises along with a savory aroma. Lamb can lose its texture if overcooked, but here it was grilled just right, keeping the juices in — loved that.

The shoulder rack has meat attached to the bone, so it was fun to pick apart, and the more you chewed, the stronger the rich lamb flavor came through! Grilled over charcoal, the surface browned nicely and picked up a smoky aroma, making the flavor even better 🤤

Lamb sirloin: tender and mild with salt and wasabi

Personally, the easiest to eat was the lamb sirloin. Cut into bite-sized pieces and grilled, the outside browned nicely while the inside stayed juicy, with a tender, not-tough texture I liked. It's good plain, but a light dab of salt or wasabi really brings out the savory flavor of the lamb itself. I really love that distinctive lamb aroma~~!!

Rather than eating just lamb the whole time, I tried mixing it with the various banchan. Dipping lightly in salt lets you enjoy the meat's own flavor, and a bit of wasabi cuts through the richness for a cleaner finish. Eating it with my favorite mountain garlic leaves was the best combo!!

How the seasoned lamb short ribs taste different

The shoulder rack especially is best enjoyed at the end, picked up by the bone and gnawed off! The texture differences between cuts were so clear that the Special Mixed Set seemed like a great choice for anyone trying lamb for the first time who wants to compare several parts. On the other hand, the seasoned lamb short ribs had a different charm from the mild sirloin or shoulder rack. Thanks to the seasoning, they had a salty, savory umami kick haha.

Free ice cream after the meal

After finishing the meat, we even got to have ice cream for dessert. It's available after checkout, and after eating our fill of lamb, finishing off with something cool and sweet was just right 💗

Is the Special Mixed Set at Hwaro Yangmi worth ordering?

What I liked best about the Special Mixed Set at Hwaro Yangmi was getting to taste shoulder rack, lamb sirloin, and seasoned lamb short ribs all in one sitting. The shoulder rack had that distinctive rich flavor around the bone and was fun to pick apart, while the lamb sirloin was soft and mild, easy to eat without feeling heavy. Adding the seasoned lamb short ribs on top gave the meal some flavor variety along the way, making the set feel well put together. The restaurant is also fairly spacious and clean, making it a good spot for a family meal, a get-together with friends, or dinner.
