Shinjoo Yangkkochi is a lamb-skewer house on the ground floor of a lane beside the Hongdae three-way junction, next door to the Samgeori Pocha, a few minutes from the front gate of Hongik University. Sangsu station, exit 2, is nearer than Hongdae-ipgu. It opens at three in the afternoon and closes at three the next morning; sixteen writers noted those hours and not one of them disagrees. Skewers come ten to a portion, onto a charcoal grill sunk into the table that turns them for you. Alongside the lamb the menu runs to Chinese dishes — sweet-and-sour pork, shredded pork in bean paste, tomato and egg — plus noodle soup and fried rice. Two writers note that the company also runs branches in Busan, Changwon and Jeju, but that this is its only one in Seoul. The posts we read run from December 2024 to August 2026.

The basics

3 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

Of 16 posts: 15 wrote Daily 15:00–03:00.

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.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What people order

The most ordered dish is yang-kkochi (양꼬치 (10꼬치)) — 17 of 18 posts.

What to order

• 양꼬치 (10꼬치)17 ate it
  yang-kkochi₩15,000 · ₩16,000

  The house basic, and all but one of the eighteen visitors ordered it. Lightly seasoned, ten skewers to a portion. Seven writers mention the grill sunk into each table that turns the skewers by itself, so nobody has to flip anything.

  **It went from 15,000 won to 16,000 won for ten skewers.** Seven posts between December 2024 and August 2025 all say 15,000; every post from February 2026 onward says 16,000. Not a disagreement — a price rise.

• 꿔바로우 (찹쌀탕수육)12 ate it
  gwobaro-u₩20,000

  The second most ordered thing after the skewers. A glutinous-rice batter, so the coat is thick; eight writers call it crisp and not one calls it soggy. They disagree about the sauce — one liked it for being sharp, another wanted it sharper and found it sweet.

  Six posts between January 2025 and August 2026 all say 20,000 won — unchanged over that stretch. One party of four found a single plate ran out in a few bites.

• 옥수수온면9 ate it
  oksusu onmyeon₩8,000

  A hot, tart noodle soup made with corn noodles. All nine who ordered it liked it; two call it the best version they have had in a lamb-skewer house. Two write that the bowl is far bigger than 8,000 won suggests, and one admits to leaving some.

  Six posts from January 2025 to May 2026 all say 8,000 won.

• 매운양꼬치 (10꼬치)8 ate it
  maeun yang-kkochi₩15,000 · ₩16,000

  The same skewers under a thick red paste. Four writers call it properly hot; one says it was milder than expected. Two warn that the paste catches and burns faster than the plain ones, so it needs watching.

  Priced the same as the plain skewers: 15,000 won, then 16,000.

• 생양꼬치 (소금)4 ate it
  saeng yang-kkochi₩16,000

  The unseasoned version, eaten with salt. One writer says the friend who had never eaten lamb kept reaching for these rather than the seasoned ones.

  Only one post gives a price — 16,000 won, in February 2026. Nobody wrote down what it cost in 2025.

• 갈비살 (10꼬치)4 ate it
  galbisal₩16,000 · ₩17,000

  Skewers cut from the belly flap of the rack, a thousand won dearer than the plain ones. Of the four who ordered them, one picked these and the plain skewers as the best things on the table.

  16,000 won in the January and August 2025 posts; 17,000 on the 2026 menu boards — it rose alongside the plain skewers.

• 경장육슬3 ate it
  gyeongjang-yuksul₩20,000

  Shredded pork in sweet bean paste, rolled at the table into bean-curd sheets and vegetables. The three who ordered it do not agree: one would come back for this alone, the other two found it merely fine and preferred the sweet-and-sour pork.

• 고급양갈비 (2대)1 ate it
  gogeup yang-galbi₩27,000

  Two whole cutlets rather than skewers. It appears twice only in photographs of the menu board; the one writer who says they ate lamb ribs calls it simply 양갈비, so we cannot tell whether they meant this or the cheaper flap skewers.

Sides, and what comes with it

• 계란볶음밥3 ate it
  gyeran bokkeum-bap₩7,000

  Loose, dry-fried rice. Two parties of four say they ordered a second one; both advise starting with two.

• 가지볶음밥3 ate it
  gaji bokkeum-bap₩7,000

  Fried rice with aubergine. One writer liked it for tasting properly Chinese; another found it simply fine.

• 토마토계란볶음2 ate it
  tomato gyeran-bokkeum₩16,000

  Of the two who ordered it, one was underwhelmed; the other kept it for the point in the meal when the lamb starts to cloy.

• 수제물만두2 ate it
  suje mul-mandu₩8,000

  Hand-made dumplings with a thick skin, more than ten to a plate. One writer called them the best value of the evening; the other noted the chive-and-pork filling.

• 가지볶음 (가지튀김)1 ate it
  gaji twigim₩17,000

  Only one writer ate it, and found it crisp outside, soft inside, and clean of any fried-oil smell. The board calls it a stir-fry rather than a fritter.

• 건두부무침1 ate it
  geon-budu muchim

  One writer only, who recommends it to anyone new to Chinese food for the savour it adds. Nobody wrote down the price.

To drink

• 칭다오 맥주4 ate it
  Tsingtao₩7,000 · ₩8,000

  Four parties drank it with the skewers; one notes the bottle is larger than the domestic ones.

  7,000 won in January 2025, 8,000 in February and August 2026. One February 2026 writer picked a domestic lager instead because the Tsingtao cost 2,000 won more.

• 하얼빈 맥주 (500ml)3 ate it
  Harbin₩6,000 · ₩7,000

  The cheaper of the two Chinese lagers. One writer mixed it with the grain spirit.

  6,000 won in the January and May 2025 posts; 7,000 on the August 2026 board.

• 국산 맥주 (카스·테라·켈리)2 ate it
  gungsan maekju₩5,000 · ₩6,000

  A thousand to two thousand won less than the Chinese bottles.

  5,000 won in May 2025; 6,000 on the August 2026 board.

• 컵술1 ate it
  keop-sul₩5,000

  The grain spirit sold by the glass — the way in for anyone who has not drunk baijiu before. One writer puts it at 38 per cent and smelling of pineapple.

• 공부가주 (중)1 ate it
  Kong Fu Jia Jiu₩26,000

  A Chinese grain spirit. The one writer who ordered it cut it with beer.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

It is at street level. The registered address ends in "1st floor"; two writers say the sign and frontage are visible straight from the lane, and one notes the folding glass front that shows the room from outside. There is a different business — a cocktail bar — in the basement of the same building, so a staircase down is the wrong door. Two reviews of that bar turned up under this shop's name.

Nobody wrote about the doorway. Across all eighteen posts the words wheelchair, pushchair, ramp, step and threshold do not appear once. Two writers note that the shop is at street level with a folding glass front, but not one of them looked at whether there is a lip at the door. That is an absence of evidence, not an answer — if it matters, the shop is worth a phone call.

The lavatories are inside the restaurant. Four writers place them at the back of the room, three say men's and women's are separate, three call them clean and one calls them so-so. Nobody describes going out into a building corridor. Whether there is an accessible cubicle, nobody says.

No one mentioned: In a basement · 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, 10 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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• We counted eighteen posts out of twenty-eight. Ten went into the bin: they appeared on ten different blogs in the seven days between 22 and 28 September 2026, they all walk through the same four dishes in the same order, they all copy the shop's own marketing line about six-month-old lamb and the flap cut word for word, and not one of the ten mentions a price. None says who went, or when, or whether anyone waited; two clusters share the same five hashtags in the same order. None declares a sponsorship, but none reads like an account of a meal either, and including them would have inflated every number on this page by more than half. Two further posts were dropped for being about the cocktail bar in the same building's basement.
• Sangsu station comes up more often than Hongdae-ipgu. Four posts put it at three to five minutes' walk from exit 2 at Sangsu, but two of those are lifted from the Naver listing — only two writers describe walking it. One arrived from Hongdae-ipgu instead. Four writers give the same landmark rather than a station: the Samgeori Pocha, with this place in the lane immediately beside it. That sign is the faster thing to look for.
• Nobody reports queueing; several report the room filling up. Only two posts mention a wait at all, and they disagree — one says a queue formed after they were seated, the other that they walked straight in. Beyond that, two writers arrived early on a weekday to an empty room and left a full one, and one squeezed into a seat at the back at eleven on a Friday night. No one records how long they waited, because no one waited.
• No post in our count declares a sponsorship. Of the eighteen, seven state that they paid their own way — one adds the tag "not sponsored" — and eleven say nothing either way. Saying nothing is not the same as having paid. One of the two posts we discarded does carry a sponsorship tag, but it is about the cocktail bar downstairs, not this shop.
• Ask about closing days and any afternoon break. Sixteen posts give the hours and every one of them says the same thing: three in the afternoon to three in the morning, daily. Only two say the shop never closes for a day, and not one of the eighteen mentions a mid-shift break or a last order — which means nobody wrote it down, not that there isn't one. Several writers came precisely because of the late licence: one after wandering Hongdae at eleven on a Friday finding everything shut, another looking for somewhere to go after a first round in the club streets.
• This is the only branch in Seoul, but the name is not. Two writers note company-run branches in Busan, Changwon and Jeju while this is the only Seoul address. The shop's own sign and its customers say Hongdae branch; the licence is registered under the bare name. Worth knowing before a search turns up a review of a different city.
