About
Lively lamb skewer joint in the Baekseok food alley serving mild, game-free charcoal-grilled skewers and diverse Chinese dishes.
Tucked into the busy Baekseok-dong food alley in Goyang, Bonto Lamb Skewers & Lamb Ribs captures the energetic hum of an authentic Chinese dining hall. Packed tight with tables and filled with the clinking of Harbin beer glasses, the dining room buzzes well into the late evening. An encyclopedia of a menu lines the walls, reminiscent of a neighborhood diner where seemingly every classic Northeastern Chinese specialty is accounted for. Charcoal braziers set into the tables do the heavy lifting here. Skewers of standard lamb rotate automatically over the embers, rendering down their fat until crisp on the outside and savory within. The meat is notably clean and tender, free of excessive gaminess, making it welcoming even to skewer novices. Plates arrive with a base seasoning powder, allowing guests to customize their bites with extra cumin or spicy flakes. For a heartier alternative, the bone-in lamb ribs come threaded across double skewers; because they sit flat and require manual turning, the kitchen can roast them in the back oven upon request—a welcome perk on warmer days. Other skewer options include spicy mala-slicked varieties that bring a pleasant hum of Sichuan peppercorn. The expansive kitchen menu makes group dining especially rewarding. Generous plates of crunchy stir-fried mung bean sprouts tossed with dried chilis often land on the table as a complimentary service to cut the rich meats. Diners frequently anchor their skewers with sets that include crisp, chewy guobaorou (sweet-and-sour fried pork), while regional standouts like jingjiang rousi—savory shredded pork wrapped with shredded vegetables in thin sheets of tofu skin—and chilled Yanji-style cold noodles provide vibrant contrast to the charcoal smoke. Between the sprawling selection and generous plates, dinner here is best approached with a crowd, an appetite for variety, and a reservation during prime weekend hours.
