Mansing Yangkkochi

About

Generous all-you-can-eat skewer restaurant in Jeongneung Market offering an assortment of lamb, pork, and seafood skewers alongside complimentary Chinese dishes.

Tucked just inside an alley off the Jeongneung Market entrance in Seongbuk, Mansing Lamb Skewers announces itself after dark with brightly lit signage reminiscent of a mainland Chinese night-market stall. Inside, the dining room is unexpectedly spacious, with widely spaced tables equipped with individual exhaust hoods that keep the smoky air moving. While sets combining twenty skewers with dishes like *eohyang gaji* (fish-fragrant eggplant) are on hand, the restaurant’s runaway draw is its 23,900-won all-you-can-eat skewered feast—a deal bolstered by the inclusion of cooked plates. The charcoal fire arrives hot, ensuring skewers cook rapidly to a crisp exterior while retaining their inner juices. Diners load their own platters from a self-serve refrigerated station stocked with an extensive rotation: vibrant pink lamb, spicy mala lamb, thick-cut pork belly, chicken, beef heart, fish cakes, shrimp, dried tofu skin, ham, and gristle. The lamb skewers stand out for their lack of gamey funk, yielding tender, mildly seasoned bites that take well to table-side shakers of cumin, salt, and chili powder alongside roasted peanuts and tangy *zhacai*. Threaded fish cakes puff and crisp nicely over the embers, while the pork belly roasts down until the fat turns crunch-edged and rich. Each unlimited order also includes one hot dish and one meal item from the kitchen. The wok-fried egg and carrot fried rice (*gyeran bokkeumbap*) arrives scooped fresh from the cooker, carrying a strong blast of fire-kissed wok aroma and light grains of salt that counterbalance the richer meats. Crisp-fried *kkuobarou* (sweet-and-sour pork) delivers a sharp vinegar crunch, while vegetable favorites like *jisamsan* (stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and peppers) offer melt-in-the-mouth textures in a savory glaze. By late evening, the dining floor routinely fills with local university students and neighborhood regulars chasing skewered meats, cold Harbin beer, and soju over glowing briquettes.
