Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →
A two-storey lamb-skewer house in an alley off Daemyeong 1-gil, a few minutes from Hyehwa Station. Skewers come ten to a portion and go onto a self-rotating charcoal grill at each table, alongside Chinese dishes such as sticky-rice sweet-and-sour pork, eggplant and corn noodles in broth. Posts from July to October 2026 mostly put a portion of skewers at 17,000 won and the sweet-and-sour pork at 22,000 won. Thirteen posts say you order from a tablet or kiosk at the table. We read 30 posts dated 20 June 2025 to 28 October 2026: 25 are visits, 2 turned out to be about other restaurants, and 3 only list the place. 24 of the 25 visits were written from July 2026 on.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The grill turns the skewers for you. Fourteen posts describe slotting skewers into a machine at the table that rotates them over the charcoal. Several warn that the fire is hot and they cook fast, so move finished ones to the rack on top; one notes each side of the machine takes half the skewers, so two diners can each work one side. Flower buns don't fit and have to be turned by hand.
- The first order has to be at least two portions of lamb. Five posts say so, one noting the notice on the tablet's opening screen. None of the posts we read is from someone eating alone.
- Gaminess is what people talk about most. Twelve posts say the lamb has little or no gamey smell and none say otherwise; four call the meat thick and nine juicy. One post adds that the skewers arrive pre-seasoned, which not everyone will like, and another suggests asking ahead if you want them plain or are bringing children.
- Free nibbles, and a drink for a review. Fifteen posts say zha cai, fried peanuts, pickled onion and a plate of cumin are set out when you sit down. Nine mention that a Naver receipt review earns a can of soda or a bottle of Chinese iced tea.

- Evenings fill up. One post arrived at 6 pm on a weekday to find few seats left and a queue by about 6:30; another saw a queue form while eating at 8 pm on a Wednesday. One post says there was no wait at 8 pm thanks to the upstairs floor. Two posts booked ahead and both found their table already laid. Two say food came quickly.
- It's a walk from Hyehwa Station. Four posts give the time: about five minutes from exit 1, three from exits 3 and 4, two to three from exit 3, one to two from the station. Two posts mention it sits at street level with an easy-to-spot sign; none mention a basement.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
It's a walk from Hyehwa Station. Four posts give the time: about five minutes from exit 1, three from exits 3 and 4, two to three from exit 3, one to two from the station. Two posts mention it sits at street level with an easy-to-spot sign; none mention a basement.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 14 of 25 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 25 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | 2 of 25 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 25 posts |
The upstairs floor opens in the evening. Fourteen posts describe two floors. One visitor at about 5 pm on a weekday found the second floor not yet open; another says the ground floor is used first and upstairs opens toward evening. Three posts mention a private room upstairs, one calling it an eight-seat room. You reach it by stairs.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or pushchair can get in — nobody wrote about it. Three posts say the second floor is up a staircase; none mention a lift.
The toilets are inside. Two posts say so: one places them halfway up the stairs between floors and found them clean, the other says they are separate for men and women and you don't have to go outside.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 28 posts we gathered, 3 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
- The price of a skewer portion splits six to two: six posts say 17,000 won, two say 16,000 won (one as a rough figure). The split doesn't follow the dates, so we can't say the price changed. One August visitor found kiosk prices 1,000–2,000 won higher than the menu on Naver Place. Two posts call it good value.
- Eighteen posts give the same hours — daily 1 pm to 12:40 am, last orders 11:40 pm — but all of them copied it from an info block. Two say there is no regular day off. Many posts copy the phone number, 02-743-7763, for bookings, and say Naver booking works too.
- Some posts are promotional. One discloses sponsorship, and two by the same blogger a month apart list nearly the same dishes in nearly the same words. We did not count the TV appearances or celebrity-regular claims, which come from the restaurant's own signage.
