If you’re craving lamb skewers and a solid night out, Shenyang Eng Kkochi delivers a surprisingly polished take on the classic Northeastern Chinese chuan’r experience — and does it without the grease, smoke, or grime that usually comes with the territory.

First off, this place is immaculate 🧼✨. Compared to the average Chinese lamb skewer joint — which often sacrifices cleanliness for character — Eng Kkochi is impressively well-kept, with spotless floors, clean tables, and a smoke-free grilling setup. The atmosphere is casual yet stylish 🪩, with modern decor and warm lighting that make it feel more like a trendy bar than a typical back-alley skewer spot. Even on a quiet weekday, it had a hip, laid-back energy.

Now, the star of the show: the lamb skewers 🍖🔥. They were grilled to perfection — not too fatty, not too lean — and surprisingly tender, with none of that strong lamb odor that some people find off-putting. Honestly, they rival some of the best lamb skewers in all of Seoul.

Each table is given a personal sauce and spice tray 🌶️🧂, stocked with chili powder, cumin, and other classic Chinese seasonings — a small but thoughtful touch that means you never have to flag down the staff for refills.

As for the other dishes, the hot noodle soup 🍜 was hearty and satisfying, and the crispy double-cooked pork 🐖🥢 was rich and flavorful. But my personal favorite was the cilantro and cucumber salad 🥒🌿 — crisp, refreshing, and the perfect palate cleanser between bites.

Shenyang Eng Kkochi is the kind of place that makes you want to order one more round — of skewers, of drinks, of good conversation 🍻🗣️. If you’re after clean surroundings, modern vibes, and top-tier lamb, this spot should be at the top of your list.
