Hangbang Yangyukgwan, Seocho: Bone-In Cuts over Coals and Fried Plates at a Gyodae Skewer House
Hangbang Yangyukgwan (항방양육관) is a lamb restaurant in Seocho, Seoul. Polle, a Korean review site, files it under lamb skewers (양꼬치) and, on the page I read on November 14, 2026, tags it for Chinese food, grilled meat, lamb ribs (양갈비) and year-round opening. My photos from November 2021 show bone-in cuts lying on a wire grate over glowing coals. This is the Gyodae main branch (교대본점), on the second floor of the Dongmyeong Building at 93 Seocho-daero 50-gil.

Bone-in cuts on the grate
Three red cuts with long bone ends lie side by side over the coals, with a thick pale slice at the end of the row. The front of the grill carries a logo that looks like a horned sheep's head, and the word HANGBANG. The cuts look like lamb ribs, which fits a shop tagged for lamb. Polle's undated menu listing, read on November 14, 2026, shows lamb loin ribs (양등심갈비) at ₩32,000, but I can't tell which item my photos show.
In another photo the cuts are browned and glossy, one bone tip blackened. In a third, bite-size cubes of browned meat sit on the grate beside the pale slice, which looks like king oyster mushroom.

Two fried plates

One plate is heaped with sesame-flecked fried pieces that look like chicken wings, tossed with dried red chilies, green stems and pale nuts. I can't tell what the menu calls it.

The other is a stack of thickly battered fried slices with pale yellow sauce pooled on the plate. Two Polle reviewers praise the shop's kkwobarou (꿔바로우), a fried pork dish in sweet-and-sour sauce, and one calls it chewy. I can't tell whether this plate is that dish.
What reviewers say
Polle shows this branch's reviews as three to eight years old. The skewers get the most praise: one reviewer prefers them to the loin ribs, and two say the lamb has no gamey smell. One says the skewers kept catching fire. Others mention egg fried rice, corn noodles and a free egg soup, and one who also tried the Seorae Village branch finds this one a little behind.
