Yeon-Gil Seafood & Kababs

I love yeon-Gil! I've been here about 4x and they've never disappointed. They've recently revamped the menu and the decor, it has more of a lounge vibe now. I love that they stay open real late because most restaurants in this area close at 10. I always try something new every time, my favorites were the clams which were stuffed and the whole spicy fish, the eggplant was good too. The entrees are huge so you'll have plenty of leftovers to last for a few days lol. All the dishes are packed with flavor, you can't go wrong with anything. I love the soju and the complimentary peanuts. The service is always nice and fast. This is a great date spot, you and your partner will love the vibes!

Unfortunately, less than stellar night here. Food was, while tasty, too salty. Probably would be perfect if mixed with a liberal pouring of beer to avoid beer induced hyponatremia. But if you will not be drinking to your hearts content, be prepared for a salty night. Unfortunately, only one server reported in the night we went so service was limited although you can tell the poor girl was hustling as best as she could! Ambiance was super cool! Hip, young, hopping. Great for a night of beer, karaoke, and asian style bar food! Know what you're coming for and you'll have a great time. Not quite a place to just sit down and eat with a beer with your meal. Lots of great drink selections and it definitely livens up into the night.

I had the best Dan Dan Noodles here and I've been coming back every week. The server Adrian was very friendly.

Awesome experience. Noodles, beef skewers, and lamb skewers. The food was amazing. The skewers are definitely cooked over some type of coal in the back which gives it a smoky charred flavor you don't usually get on bbq outside of Asia. Definitely reminded me of the bbq in Pakistan. The noodles were my favorite part and the reason I'm itching to go back. The simple umami flavor takes this dish far and I would say it needs nothing more and nothing less.You don't go here for the service, but you do go here for the great food and the ambiance.It seems as though they have a karaoke stage but I don't went during the week so I did not get to see it in action, hopefully I will when I return.Definitely take your friends here and try this one out.

We tried this spot for dinner on a weeknight. The service was quick, friendly, and helpful as we had a lot of questions. Most of the food was shareable, with the portions and flavor being the highlight. Was looking to try the garlic oysters but they weren't available. Will be back to try them next time!

We had a skewer phase, and Yeon-Gil is probably one of the best in town out of all we tried. However, it's pricey, and you can't get full without spending quite a bit. The vibe and service are great, and it's very suitable as a late night snack. When in doubt, get the lamb skewer!

This place was under a new owner and new chef a few weeks ago. Our family preferred the old owner and old chef. The food was good but not as good as before, maybe it was just a personal bias but I think our family will probably not be visiting again.

After seeing all the hype on social media about this place, my friends and I decided to drop by after our escape room. There weren't that many things on the menu besides skewers and some seafood dishes. You order everything via the QR code printed on the menu, and everyone at the table shares the same cart. I thought you could split it at the end when paying like this other restaurant I frequented, but nope. Food didn't take long to come out, but there were only 3 tables around midnight. The skewers are cooked in the back, and they put this small heating unit to keep the skewers warm at the table. Since it was a large party, we didn't know which skewers are which and the servers didn't do a good job of explaining. They just drop the skewers off and then walk away. I had to ask them to tell me which one is which so we don't grab the wrong thing. Skewers are very small yet they cost $4 each??? I never had a good experience with skewer restaurants (besides one), and this is the same. The house special skewers are a little bigger than the other 3 skewers pack but still expensive. The seasoning is okay, nothing special. The only thing I liked was the intestine skewers, but not worth for me to visit again. I ordered a watermelon soju for the group to drink, which was not to my standard. I'm unsure if they put any soju in the watermelon because nobody felt anything. Other places I've been to was much stronger, so I was a little disappointed in that, especially since it was $35.Overall, this place was a disappointment. If it was busy when we came, then I would be more understanding of the service given. However, we were the last group to leave. Also, they said that we ordered some fried buns for $9, but nobody in the group clicked any button so I'm not sure where they got that. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN BRING THE ITEM OUT!! I understand if someone made a mistake, but to charge us and not bring the food out until we ASKED, that's basically STEALING. They tried to scam us by charging us and not giving us the food at all until I had to ask. My friend who paid was too shy to say anything and was willing to pay for it but that's $10. FOR BREADS btw.

Pros:- the skewers r flavorful (bttr than fatni imo)- the beef noodle soup is warm & just the right amount of spicy- they also have a place to keep the skewer warm - they are open till 2 am- they play cantonese musicCons:- the food is pricy- the oysters are not very fresh & overall the flavor is lacklusterif you like foodie content, follow @m0nsterati on tiktok for more :)

Here's our breakdown: PROS:* Unique and different!* Protein friendly * Easy to order * casual vibe and great for double date night! * meat comes cooked but the table top feature keeps it warm! CONS:* kinda loud if you want to talk WHAT WE ATE: * Special beef skewer (5/5!) * cauliflower skewer (5/5!)* Pork Belly skewer (4/5!)* edamame (3/5)* Garlic Oysters (SO SPICY!!! But a solid 3/5)* Spicy Rice Cake (super unique!! 3/5 for me because of texture but flavor was wonderful!
