Full house on a weeknight: mala xiangguo at Hanseong Yang Kkochi
Hanseong Yang Kkochi Gyodae Branch 2 is a lamb skewer and Chinese restaurant within walking distance of Gyodae Station in Seocho, Seoul, with parking right in front. A weeknight 6:30pm reservation with a friend still landed in a nearly full house, with lamb tenderloin skewers and lamb skewers at ₩23,000 and ₩17,000 plus mala xiangguo (spicy stir-fried vegetables and meat) and rice on the side. With an auto-rotating grill doing the work, it's a solid pick for a group dinner or work dinner.
