Why here
Seodaemun Yangkkochi grills lamb skewers on a rotating rack upstairs on a Yeonnam-dong corner, and the kitchen behind them is a full Chinese one — a lamb hot pot, mala xiangguo, guobaorou and stir-fried dishes that make it a dinner rather than a snack. It stays open until 2am. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2022.
