“A great spot with friendly people 💕 Everything is delicious—my friends and I often stop by this bar after work to grab a bite to eat And on the weekends to hang out together—it’s our go-to spot 👍🏼🤌🏼🔥 We give it a 10/10”
“I’ve been going to Yeowoosai since 2024, and all I could say is it’s my go-to bar for food and drinks. Their popcorn chicken is to die for, specifically the half-half plate. I also love their Slushie Pitcher. I always get so cutesy drunk from it lol. I put my friends on because of my love for this bar. And on top of that, they play Twice songs everytime. Everything’s just perfect <333 Shoutout to Hazey! She’s a cool server and she’s easy to talk to :) Love her! Will be going back here soon but with my boyfriend next time !!!!! Love you yeowoo”
“My best friend recommended this bar to me and my friends and thought that this bar/restaurant was the best because of how fast the service is and how the food was really good! I would recommend getting the popcorn chicken when ure with your friends! They treat really well in this restaurant too”
“Gochujang Rose Pasta: We were unsure of the long crispy parts, and they had a sweetness to them. The pasta itself was so delicious. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This dish screams Korean-Italian fusion in the best way. Dak Nalgae: Overall, pretty good in taste and texture! I do wish the pieces were either larger or greater in number for $20.”
“This place was superb! Love the vibe and it was bustling. The food was great and super delicious. Perfect place to fill up after a fun karaoke night with drinks next door at U-Star!”
“Fast service and great food! The army stew was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. The steamed egg was soft and fluffy—definitely one of my favorites. Everything came out hot and fresh. Loved the quick and friendly service, and the vibe of the place was cozy and laid-back. Great spot if you’re craving some solid Korean comfort food.”
“Food and atmosphere is great. A little bit hidden but this place is a gem. Would recommend.”
“Love the vibe, casual but delicious! Open late! Popcorn chicken half and half was delicious and the right balance!! Portions were generous!”
“From the moment you step into Yeowoosai, you’re greeted by K-pop music videos and an electric atmosphere. Yeowoosai’s kimchi fried rice is a symphony of flavors. The sizzle of the hot stone bowl, the fragrant garlic, and the umami-packed kimchi—all come together in a harmonious dance. The rice is perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat. But what truly steals the show is the corn cheese. Imagine gooey, melted cheese embracing sweet corn kernels—it’s comfort food elevated to an art form. Pair this dish with a cold beer, and you’re in for a treat! 🌶️🧀🌽 Samgyeopsal (Fried Sliced Pork Belly): The samgyeopsal at Yeowoosai is a revelation. Crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and kissed with sesame oil—it’s a carnivore’s dream. The accompanying scallion salad adds a refreshing crunch, balancing the richness of the pork. Whether you wrap it in lettuce leaves or enjoy it on its own, this dish is a must-try. 🥓🥗 Now, let’s talk libations. Yeowoosai’s mango soju is a tropical delight. Served in frosty glasses, it’s a blend of smooth soju and the sweetness of ripe mango. Sip it slowly, and you’ll feel like you’re on a beach in Jeju Island. 🥭🍹 The staff at Yeowoosai are super friendly, accommodating, and hot. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, they make you feel right at home. The portions are generous, meant for sharing with friends (or devouring solo if you’re feeling indulgent). In summary, Yeowoosai isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a cultural experience. Come for the food, stay for the music, and leave with a satisfied belly and a smile. 🤗🍽️”
“My always go to great food great atmosphere especially on midnight more calm relaxing place to hit the spot.”
“So I've been getting delivery from yeowoosai since late 2022 (OG : omurice & mango soju 🥰🥰) but it wasn't until late last month that I finally had the chance to have my omurice in person 🥹 and I've been there 6 times in the barely 2 months since! From the food to the atmosphere to the servers to the drinks, head to toe it's always a perfect fit :)) whether you come when it's busy or slower or you're a party of 1 or 2 or 6, yeowoosai is a guaranteed great time 🥳🥳 And I'm extreeemely awkward, so it's super easy for me to feel uncomfortable, but I always feel at home at 🫰yeo🫶woo🫶sai🫰 10 out of 10 would recommend 💯 #LookForwardToIt”
