야키토리 사사 Charcoal-grilled skewers and butter-mayo crab on Hakdong's drinking lane in Yeosu, open until two in the morning

Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →

Yakitori Sasa is a ground-floor izakaya at the mouth of the drinking lane in Buyeong Samdanji, Hakdong, Yeosu. Charcoal-grilled skewers are the sign over the door and the butter-mayo crab is the dish it was known for — but twenty of the twenty-eight posts we read ordered the raw shrimp set at ₩40,000, a seasonal menu it introduced in the summer of 2026. It opens at five in the evening and runs to two in the morning, three on Fridays and Saturdays, which is why four writers file it as somewhere you go second rather than first. Counter seats and tables both, fine for one person and seating up to twenty by one account. There is no car park. The posts we read run from May to September 2026.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

What sets it apart

The thing written about most here is not a dish you pay for. Twenty-four of twenty-eight describe the free starter: cabbage salad in a soy dressing, plus banana under chocolate syrup with pretzels. Four say they had never been handed banana in an izakaya before, and three judge the whole place by it — if the owner bothers with the freebie, the reasoning goes, he bothers with the rest. One writer says a refill costs ₩3,000; another says the cabbage refills and the banana does not.
Thirteen writers say the shrimp is sweet — and they use that sweetness as the proof it is fresh: the sweetness rises as you chew, and that is how you know. Nothing else here — not price, not parking, not the queue — comes up that often. Two add separately that there was no fishy edge at all. Nobody wrote that it was not sweet.
Eight of the posts collected a receipt-review freebie — persimmon with cream cheese, or a fruit sorbet; six took the persimmon. One recipient read the menu and concluded that ₩9,000 for a dab of cream cheese and one almond is exactly why you should write the review. Not one of the twenty-eight paid for it. Worth knowing when you wonder how this many posts appeared this fast.
Whether you wait depends on when you come. Five got straight in — one of them on a weekend evening — the rest at six on a Tuesday, a Sunday evening, or early on a weekday. Against that, one found every table taken on a weekday evening and reckoned she had only just made it, and one found the place nearly full on a Saturday. Two describe arriving at five to one or two occupied tables and watching it fill.

3 more

You can come alone. Fifteen posts describe both a counter and tables; ten say specifically that drinking alone works here, and five that from the counter you can watch the skewers being grilled. One counts about twelve tables, one says three push together for a group, one puts the maximum at twenty. Ordering is by tablet or kiosk in nine accounts; one notes the counter uses a QR code and the tables a tablet.
Butter and mayonnaise stack up. Four writers call it heavy, and three of them say in the next line how they got round it: a mouthful of pickled radish, a mouthful of rice ball, less sauce on the fork. On saltiness the accounts split evenly — one says the steak sauce is salty by design, which is why rice comes with it, and one was warned off emptying the soy jug over her egg rice; two others found the seasoning judged exactly right.
Not everyone was won over. A three-day Yeosu trip log dismisses it in one line — an ordinary izakaya, though clean inside. A longer post that scores each dish lists its reservations plainly: the food fell short of expectations, the room does more work than the cooking, and when it is busy the call button goes unanswered. That is the only complaint about service we found; two others praise it. The same writer gave the butter-mayo crab five stars.

생새우회 + 버터새우머리구이 SET20 ate it
Saengsaeu-hoe set₩40,000
**Twenty of the twenty-eight ordered this.** Raw shrimp served on ice, then the heads come back fried in butter a few minutes later. Lemon, radish sprouts, soy, wasabi and chilli paste on the side; five writers mention the disposable gloves handed over for the heads
All twenty put it at ₩40,000. **It is seasonal** — posts give six different launch dates (14 and 24 July, 1, 16, 27 and 28 August), so when it starts is anyone's guess. Size is disputed: one writer counted more than fifteen and guessed half a kilo, another counted fourteen, and one found them thinner than shrimp she had eaten elsewhere. Skip the heads and it is ₩5,000 less
꽃게마요구이5 ate it
Kkotge-mayo-gui₩25,000 · ₩35,000
Blue crab brushed with butter-mayo and grilled over charcoal, with dipping sauce, pickled radish and a rice ball. **Before the raw shrimp arrived this was the house dish** — two came for it specifically, four mention eating it on an earlier visit
₩25,000 for the smaller, ₩35,000 for the larger. **Writers disagree on what the smaller one is called** — one says small, three say medium, all for the same ₩25,000. An extra sauce is ₩1,000; of the two who added the fire-chicken mayo, one found it muddied the crab, the other used it to cut the richness. One writer counted four crabs cut into eight pieces
야키토리 7종3 ate it
Yakitori 7-jong₩21,000
Seven skewers: thigh, thigh with spring onion, inner skirt, skin, heart, neck and shrimp. Three posts repeat the shop's line about Laotian binchotan, but the smoke itself gets first-hand notice — "the char comes through and the meat is still wet", "barbecue-sized, not skewer-sized"
Two note the seven- and nine-skewer sets undercut ordering singly. Three point out the cumin and Sichuan-pepper shakers left on the table, which turn it into something closer to lamb skewers. One sent a thigh skewer back to be cooked further and got it back cooked further
추성훈스테이크3 ate it
Chu Sung-hoon steak
Steak and corn cheese on one hotplate with rice on the side — two writers say it is here because it was going around social media
**One writer says the sauce is salty on purpose** — that is why rice comes with it. All three found the beef tender. Nobody gives a price for it on its own; one wished she had ordered the larger size
나가사키짬뽕2 ate it
Nagasaki-jjamppong₩21,000
A clay pot of white broth piled with bean sprouts and shellfish
Both reach for it as a hangover cure. One notes the noodles come separately so they do not swell, with extra broth alongside

22 more dishes

꽃게마요구이 + 추성훈스테이크 세트2 ate it
Kkotge-mayo + Chu Sung-hoon steak set₩40,000 set · ₩42,000 set
One writer calls it the combination most tables order. The grilled crab plus a hotplate of steak, corn cheese and rice
**The price splits** — one post gives both ₩42,000 and "forty thousand" in the same breath, and a menu transcription says ₩40,000. Both who ate it found it generous; one gave up on going anywhere else afterwards
고추폭탄 스지오뎅탕1 ate it
Gochu-poktan suji-odeng-tang₩23,000
Beef tendon and fish cake simmered with a heap of green chilli
The one who ate it complained the name undersells how much is in the pot. The ₩23,000 comes from a menu transcription, not from a receipt
야키토리 9종1 ate it
Yakitori 9-jong₩25,000
The seven plus scallop and tsukune
Only one writer ate it, and listed all nine
야키토리 7종 + 꽃게마요구이 세트1 ate it
Yakitori 7 + kkotge-mayo set₩45,000 set
The seven skewers together with the grilled crab
The one who ordered it was also given butter-fried shrimp heads on the house
제철 전어 숯불구이1 ate it
Jeoneo sutbul-gui₩20,000
Autumn gizzard shad over charcoal
Eight fish to a plate, and the one who ate them thought that good value. She also warns about the small bones
우삼겹숙주볶음1 ate it
Usamgyeop-sukju-bokkeum₩19,000
Thin-sliced beef stir-fried with bean sprouts
One order, and the writer rates it the best version she has had in a bar — and a big plate of it
생새우회 (단품)named in 4
Saengsaeu-hoe₩35,000
The raw shrimp without the butter-fried heads. **Nobody ordered it** — four writers only copied it off the menu
Two writers note it as the option if fried heads are not for you. Both ordered the set anyway
야키토리 7종 + 스지오뎅탕 세트named in 2
Yakitori 7 + suji-odeng-tang set₩42,000 set
The seven skewers with the beef-tendon oden pot. **Nobody ordered it**
새우소금구이named in 2
Saeu-sogeum-gui₩40,000
Launched alongside the raw shrimp. **No one wrote about eating it**

기본안주 — 양배추샐러드 · 초코바나나 · 프레첼24 ate it
gibon-anju₩3,000
**It comes free.** Cabbage salad under a soy dressing, plus banana with chocolate syrup and pretzels. **Twenty-four writers mention it** — nothing else here gets written about as often. Four say they had never been given banana in an izakaya before
One writer says a refill is ₩3,000; another says the cabbage refills but the banana does not. Whether those are the same rule seen twice, we cannot say. One writer got balsamic rather than chocolate on her banana
순두부 열라면3 ate it
Sundubu Yeol-ramyeon₩7,000 · ₩12,000
Instant spicy noodles in an aluminium pot with big spoonfuls of soft tofu, spring onion and an egg yolk on top. Two writers order it to fill the gap after the cold shrimp
**Two prices.** The writer who ate it paid ₩7,000; a menu transcription lists a snow-crab version at ₩12,000. Whether that is a different bowl or a later price, we could not tell
소스 추가 (불닭마요 등)2 ate it
sauce chuga₩1,000
₩1,000 adds a second sauce to the grilled crab
The two who chose the fire-chicken mayo disagree: one says it buries the crab, the other keeps it for when the butter gets heavy
간장버터계란밥2 ate it
Ganjang-beoteo-gyeran-bap₩5,000
Rice with butter and a soft egg; the soy sauce comes on the side so you pour your own
One writer was warned off emptying the whole soy jug and poured half
숯불시샤모구이1 ate it
Shishamo sutbul-gui₩12,000
Capelin grilled over charcoal
**The one who ordered it was let down** — not much roe inside, though she allowed it tasted nutty enough
꿀감자1 ate it
Kkul-gamja
Fried potato under honey
One writer orders this at every izakaya and ordered it here too, price unrecorded
숯불명란마요구이1 ate it
Myeongnan-mayo sutbul-gui₩12,000
Pollock roe with mayonnaise, grilled
It arrived in disarray — the writer insists she did not do that, and thought at first it was sliced sausage. The taste she filed under ordinary
모찌리도후1 ate it
Mochiri-dofu
Chewy fried tofu
Ordered once, late and light. Nobody wrote down the price

소주5 ate it
soju₩5,500
Two writers noticed the Hamel lighthouse printed on the glasses
Only one writer recorded the price
하이볼 (산토리 매실 · 유자)2 ate it
highball₩8,000
Suntory highballs, plum or yuzu
**One found it weak** — closer to a soft drink than a whisky, said a writer who likes to taste the whisky
오늘의 추천 사케 (1잔)2 ate it
oneul-ui sake₩8,000
Whatever sake is chosen that day, poured by the glass into a cedar masu
**Two writers describe an overpour** — past the point where you start to worry, into the wooden box, and you are told to drink what spilled because the cedar has flavoured it. One got a bottle called Sakura Roman 900
사이다1 ate it
cider₩2,500
Ordered by a table with a driver

Parking

4 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Posts saying you cannot	4 of 28 posts

No car park of its own. Four writers who drove say so, and one records that this changed: two or three years ago you could pull up outside, and now there is a double yellow line, so it is the multi-storey and the first hour is free. Another names the two municipal lots nearby; a third also mentions a free first hour. Two simply advise leaving the car at home — it is a drinking street.

Where it is

Getting inside

Nobody writes about a step or a floor. The address says ground floor and the posts copy the address, but copying an address is not seeing a door. Not one describes whether you go up anything to get in, or whether the entrance is level with the pavement. Three note only that the front is glazed, so you can see in from the street.

Whether a wheelchair gets in, we do not know. One post does say the entrance, the seating and the toilet are all wheelchair-accessible — but that line is lifted wholesale from the shop's Naver listing, sitting in a row with wine pairing, high chairs and corkage, typo included. Not one writer looked at a threshold or a ramp and wrote down what they saw. A line in a post is not the same as a person having seen it.

There is nothing about the toilets that we can count. Four posts state that men's and women's are separate; all four are reciting the same listing. Nobody says whether the toilet is inside the premises or out of them, how big it is, or what state it was in. For a bar that runs to three in the morning, that is a gap worth naming.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 30 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

Nobody writes about getting here without a car. Not one of the twenty-eight mentions a bus or a train. One arrived by taxi, and only because a driver suggested the neighbourhood after a first round somewhere else. Several were in Yeosu as tourists, and still no one says how far it is from a station or a stop.
The evidence covers five months. All thirty posts we read were written between May and September 2026, twenty-six of them between July and September, piling up as the seasonal raw shrimp arrived. The numbers on this page therefore describe this place in summer and early autumn. What it sells in winter, and what fills the gap when shrimp season ends, we do not know. One writer notes the shrimp is not on the printed menu at all — it appears when the season does.
Three posts were fed and one was given something. One says outright that the shrimp set was provided; one marks the point where she starts paying for herself; one flags at the top that the meal was part-paid. A fourth paid in full and was handed butter-fried shrimp heads on the house. Exactly one post shows a receipt and calls it her own money. The other twenty-four say nothing at all, and saying nothing is not the same as paying.
Three different phone numbers appear. Ten posts give one, two give another, and a post from May 2026 gives a third. The first is both the commonest and the most recent, but from the posts alone we cannot say which one is answered today.
