Mikawa
야끼토리 미카와 Yakkitori Mikawa Yakitori is Japanese for grilled chicken skewers; Mikawa is a Japanese name, and none of the posts say why the house chose it.
Compiled from 10 blog posts read in fullSources →
Yakitori Mikawa is a chicken-skewer bar in a basement on Wausan-ro 29ma-gil, near Hongik University Station; one post says it opened in spring 2026. Order a skewer set and the skewers come out one or two at a time rather than all at once. The April 2026 menu lists the eight-skewer set at 24,000 won, the deluxe set (ten skewers plus beef tataki) at 35,000 won and yakisoba at 9,500 won. We read 13 posts dated 3 April to 15 September 2026; 10 describe an actual visit. The other three are one entry in a date-course list, an owner interview written by a marketing app, and a diary line naming the place.

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
- There are both counter seats and tables. Of the six posts that describe seating, five mention both. One describes a counter and two tables at the entrance with about four more tables around the corner; another counts four counter seats. One post found the room cramped.
- Post a receipt review and you get an extra dish. Five posts mention the review event, and what they got varied: house dumplings, cheese crackers, yakisoba, beef noodle soup. One says you choose among mapo tofu, beef noodles and yakisoba; one says it requires spending at least 40,000 won.
- Opinions differ on the paced service. One post found the gaps between skewers too long; others liked that each skewer arrived hot.
- Three posts found it quiet enough to talk; one noted that even with people at the next table it did not feel noisy.

- Beans come free when you sit down; two posts mention it, one calling them edamame in a glass bowl.

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.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 4 of 10 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 2 of 10 posts |
It is below street level. Four posts say so, two of them mentioning the stairs down (an orange wooden staircase leading to a narrow entrance). One post adds that it feels more like a half-basement, with windows.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. Four posts describe it as a basement, and none mentions a lift.
Two posts say the toilet is inside the shop, one calling it clean. Separate men's and women's toilets appear only in a copied info block, so we did not count it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 13 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
- No post describes walking from the station. One post's info block says three minutes from Exit 7 of Hongik University Station, which we treat as copied information.
- No post mentions waiting for a table. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there is never a wait; one post visiting after work on a Friday found it already fairly busy.
- All opening hours are copied from listings. Three posts from April-May 2026 give 16:00-24:00 daily (last order 23:00); a September post, citing a 13 September search, gives 17:00-24:30. The hours appear to have changed in between; no post mentions a closing day.
- Some prices rose between April and May 2026: whisky sour from 6,500 to 7,000 won, cuttlefish sashimi from 15,000 to 17,000 won. Posts after May give no prices, so we do not know current ones. A set alone is 24,000-35,000 won before drinks; one post joked that heavy extra ordering ran up a big bill.
- The phone number, 0507-1304-9209, appears only in one post's copied info block. Two posts copy that reservations can be made via Naver; none describes booking.
- We did not count the two posts from the DatePop blog: one is an owner interview that states the shop partners with DatePop for promotional content, the other a date-course list from the same blog that appears to be that content.
- Three posts say the owner previously ran a place in Cheongju (the interview mentions about eight years, and a diary names a shop called Moeru) — all second-hand, so we did not count it.
