# Yeouido izakaya set 2 by the fish-aging fridge: Robadayakki Sodam - By Miyeon Cha (https://superchart.com/en/@yeomni-dinner-shelf/) - Written Sep 23, 2026 - Local places › Bars › Yeongdeungpo, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@yeomni-dinner-shelf/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@yeomni-dinner-shelf/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/index.md) ## In short Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch is a Japanese-style skewer izakaya in Yeouido, Seoul, a short walk from Saetgang and Yeouido stations. On a second-round visit the order was set 2, which pairs mixed skewers with mixed fritters, eaten at the dachi counter seats that face the fish-aging fridge and the ingredient display where every skewer is grilled in front of you. Oyster fritters and the bacon tomato skewer with a highball are the combination worth coming back for at Robadayakki Sodam. ## Good to know - **Location**: 17 Yeouidaebang-ro 65-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul (near KBS annex, Saetgang Station, Yeouido Station) - **Ordered**: Set 2 - mixed skewers + mixed fritters - **House starter**: Fried egg grilled fresh per person - **Seating**: Dachi counter, separate room in back - **Reservation**: Naver reservation gets a free skewer or mini fritter coupon *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* ![Main image of Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-01-1uy92-966.webp) Looking for an izakaya in Yeouido with great atmosphere and great food? Let me introduce Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch, a place that genuinely feels like stepping into a tiny old bar tucked in a Japanese back alley. It's just as good for a quick drink after work as it is for a full dinner course after a weekend outing — let me walk through what makes it special! ## Where is Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch, and how do you book? Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch is at 17 Yeouidaebang-ro 65-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. It's got prime access near the KBS annex building, Saetgang Station, and Yeouido Station. As a well-known izakaya spot in Yeouido, there's basically always a wait on weekday evenings. If you're planning a visit, I strongly recommend booking through Naver Reservation. Bonus: booking through Naver also gets you a free skewer or mini fritter coupon, so definitely grab that perk! ## An izakaya atmosphere that feels like Japan ![Wood-toned interior of the izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-02-wqyhm-966.webp) ![Store interior with soft lighting on](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-03-r62sn-966.webp) The moment you walk in, you'll briefly forget you're in the middle of Seoul. Soft, warm lighting combined with a wood-toned interior creates a comfortable, cozy mood. ![Full view of the store with the bar counter visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-04-1yrdc-966.webp) ![Dachi counter seats with Japanese local vibes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-05-1na6x-966.webp) The dachi counter seats here hold their own against actual izakayas in Japan, with that same deep, cozy character. Off to one side sits a large aging fridge where fish are carefully dried. ![Large aging fridge drying fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-06-unhhe-1200.webp) ![Fish and ingredients displayed at the front of the bar counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-07-1cpp0-966.webp) Fresh fish and ingredients are laid out across the front of the bar counter, which is a treat just to look at. Seeing the condition of the ingredients, it's obvious right away why skewers and grilled fish are Robadayakki Sodam's signature dishes. ![Staff grilling skewers in front of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-08-1aa4v-966.webp) You can watch the staff carefully grilling skewers right in front of you. It's a lively, distinctive slice of authentic Japanese izakaya culture, and you get to experience it right here in Yeouido. ![Separate room space in the back of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-09-1woal-966.webp) ![Interior of the private room seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-10-r54ft-966.webp) There's also a separate room space in the back of the store. Among Yeouido izakayas, this is perfect if you're looking for a private space for a gathering, a company dinner, or a quiet date with someone special. ![Menu board listing set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-11-qlt8o-966.webp) Checking the menu, they sell set menus in various combinations. Since I was there for a second round, I ordered set 2, the mixed skewer and mixed fritter set. ## Skewers that beat the ones we ate in Japan ![Fried egg served as the house starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-12-19s91-966.webp) Like a Japanese izakaya, once you sit down they bring an otoshi-style house starter — in this case, a fried egg grilled fresh to match the number of people at the table. It's a genuinely thoughtful starter, warming you up before the meal really begins. ![Mixed fritters including karaage and croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-13-ivzqa-966.webp) ### Mixed fritters: oyster fritters at peak crispiness Chicken karaage, squid, potato croquette, king prawn, oyster fritters and more, all fried crisp in clean oil. ![Close-up of crispy fried mixed fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-14-5cgi3-966.webp) ![Cross-section of a moist potato croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-15-gcpmj-966.webp) The batter is thin and crisp, while the inside stays moist and tender, giving a clean flavor with every bite. The croquette in particular melts into a fluffy softness the moment it hits your mouth. ![Oyster fritter showing its plump interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-16-119dx-966.webp) The oyster fritters were the most impressive — that briny oyster aroma and plump, springy texture show exactly what a fritter should be. ![A plate of flame-grilled mixed skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-17-1jvoc-966.webp) ![A variety of skewers including chicken neck and chicken skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-18-178r1-966.webp) ### Flame-grilled mixed skewers, including bacon tomato A generous lineup that includes chicken neck meat, chicken thigh, chicken skin, chicken heart, shrimp, bacon-wrapped rice cake, bacon tomato, garlic, mushroom, and ginkgo nut. ![Chicken thigh skewer with smoky char](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-19-1j5x3-966.webp) ![Chicken skin skewer grilled crisp](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-20-16a41-966.webp) ![Close-up of chewy chicken heart skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-21-1qwmc-966.webp) ![Bacon rice cake and bacon tomato skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-22-1gckl-966.webp) The chicken neck meat and thigh skewers are crisp outside and packed with juice inside, releasing a savory burst with every bite. The chicken skin is grilled until snack-like crisp, while the heart delivers a chewy texture with salty, savory depth. The bacon tomato skewer was my favorite — the interplay of soft rice cake inside salty bacon and cherry tomato bursting on the bite makes for pure pleasure. The smoky char soaks into every corner of the skewer, so deep in flavor you won't want to miss a single piece. ![A glass of highball enjoyed with skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-23-16siw-966.webp) ![A fizzy glass of highball](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set-24-oftdd-966.webp) ## Highballs to pair with the skewers and fritters Pairing a cool, refreshing highball with rich fritters and charcoal-smoky skewers is a match made in heaven. The sharp fizz and subtle whiskey aroma keep your palate clean, so you never get tired of the food. If you're looking for a Yeouido izakaya that nails atmosphere, taste, and service all at once, I highly recommend Robadayakki Sodam. Why not shake off the day's fatigue tonight with some delicious grilled skewers and a cold highball? ## Where it is - Robadayakki Sodam Yeouido Branch (로바다야끼소담 여의도점) - 17 Yeouidaebang-ro 65-gil, 1st floor units 113, 114, 115, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 영등포구 여의대방로65길 17 1층 113, 114, 115호 - 37.5197455, 126.9292276 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%EC%95%BC%EB%81%BC%EC%86%8C%EB%8B%B4%20%EC%97%AC%EC%9D%98%EB%8F%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5197455,126.9292276,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yeomni-dinner-shelf/yeouido-izakaya-aging-fridge-counter-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
