About
Self-rotating lamb skewers, sweet-savory eggplant and guobaorou in a small, wood-toned Chinese-style room.
At Hoyang Kkotschi, a plate of bright-red lamb skewers meets a rack that turns them over for you. The little ritual gives the meat an even char while you wait at the table; the room itself is compact, with warm wood and Chinese-style touches. It is an evening place, open daily from 17:15 to midnight, near Namseong Station. Start with the fresh lamb skewers (생양고기꼬치, ₩14,000 for 10). Reviewers praise their clean flavor, with little of the gamey smell some expect from lamb; cumin and seasoning add fragrance as the edges brown. The rack does the rotating, but keep an eye on the skewers so they do not dry out. For the table, 가지볶음 (₩13,000) brings eggplant coated in a sweet-savory oyster-sauce glaze, with crisp carrot and onion. 꿔바로우 (₩16,000) is the crisp-and-chewy choice, served with a tangy-sweet sauce that reviewers find lighter than expected. If you want heat, 마라샹궈 is on the menu at ₩16,000; one useful counterpoint is 온면, a corn-noodle soup praised as a palate cleanser, though the broth gets mixed reviews. The small room suits a few friends or a family meal better than a sprawling group. Waiting is common at busy times, though reports suggest it is not always long. Staff can fall behind when the tables fill, so orders may be delayed or missed; keep track of what you have asked for. There is no parking, so come by transit. The skewers and shareable dishes make it easy to build a meal for the table, but this is not the place to count on a quiet, spacious dinner. Go for the lamb, the eggplant, or a mix of skewers and Chinese-style dishes with friends. One caveat: diners have found the room uncomfortably hot, and lamb can seem dry or greasy later in the meal. Arriving near opening gives you a better chance of a calmer start.
