A lamb barbecue restaurant near Hapjeong Station in Seoul, exclusively sourcing young lamb slaughtered within three days to ensure outstanding freshness and quality. The menu offers various cuts, French rack, shoulder rack, and lamb sirloin, served as a set, with a dedicated server grilling each piece tableside to optimal doneness. The meat arrives remarkably tender with zero gaminess, reaching a quality level that impresses even experienced lamb enthusiasts. Set menus include bean sprout stir-fry, seafood jjamppong (or white jjamppong), and fried rice in generous quantities, the jjamppong in particular is loaded with seafood and more than earns its place as a dish in its own right. Among the side options, kkwabarou (sweet crispy pork) is a must-order, and the handmade tiramisu served as dessert exceeds typical cafe quality. A one-bottle corkage-free wine policy appeals to wine drinkers, and the broader drinks selection is well curated. The interior strikes a balance between upscale and intimate, making it well suited for year-end gatherings, dates, and small group dinners. A garment storage cabinet is provided for coats and bags. A private parking lot behind the building ensures convenient access by car.
