Yeowoosai — a Devon Avenue korean mainstay. Cocktails here aren't an afterthought, and open late. Kobe N: "The rice is perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat"

the food was just fine!!!. The spicy seafood tofu soup is no favor at all. they changed 2 people for 20% gratuity.
The food is good, the guy serving us not so much.

“Whether you wrap it in lettuce leaves or enjoy it on its own, this dish is a must-try”
“Gochujang Rose Pasta: We were unsure of the long crispy parts, and they had a sweetness to them.”
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.”
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.

“From the moment you step into Yeowoosai, you’re greeted by K-pop music videos and an electric atmosphere.”
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. 🤗🍽️

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

Food is a little pricey but the portions are pretty big and definitely sharable.. I'd say two people can share a dish comfortably Edit: have been here many times already and I can definitely say they never disappoint no matter which item you choose.

Friendly staff. Shout out to Carol for giving soju and beer recommendations! The servings are very large, and meant to be shared. The food is really good and fresh. The seating in the venue promotes bringing friends to dine with. You can sit and just get a drink at the bar. There is K-pop music and videos playing at all times on various screens. The bathroom is small and for single use at a time. There’s a karaoke bar right next to it. There’s lots of fun food places in the plaza that I’d like to try. Don’t worry about not being able to pronounce any of the food names. The staff is very friendly, and will help you. I can’t wait to come back and try some different dishes.
