Ajiyang (AJ BBQ) — Restaurant in Seoul

Incredible Lamb BBQ & Fantastic Hospitality!

Ajoyang (AJ BBQ) is an absolute must-visit for lamb lovers! They specialize in lamb dishes, and everything is cooked over a charcoal grill, giving the meat a rich, smoky flavor. The lamb was incredibly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection—easily some of the best I’ve had.

We were lucky during our visit, as the restaurant wasn’t crowded; there were only three groups dining, including us. However, we heard that AJ BBQ is usually packed, which is a testament to how popular it is! Despite the quieter night, the atmosphere was still lively and welcoming.

The hospitality here is top-notch. The owner is super friendly, making sure guests feel at home, and the staff speaks English, which made ordering and communicating a breeze. We also got a nice surprise—complimentary wine, which added a special touch to our meal. Plus, AJ BBQ is very kid-friendly, making it a great spot for families.

Another cool fact? This place occasionally hosts celebrity diners, adding to its charm and reputation.

If you're looking for high-quality lamb BBQ with amazing service, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely be...

I had a really enjoyable meal here. We ordered Set A and a ramen, and the food honestly surpassed what I was expecting. The BBQ meats were very tender and cooked just right, with a nice smoky flavour from the charcoal grill. The lamb in particular stood out. You can really tell they specialise in it.

The ramen was also a pleasant surprise. The broth had a rich, slightly nutty seafood taste, and the noodles had a good bite. It paired well with the heavier BBQ flavours.

The service here deserves a mention too. The owner was friendly and checked in on us a few times, making sure we were comfortable. We even got a complimentary drink, which was a nice gesture.

Overall, AJ BBQ is a great pick if you enjoy lamb or just want a solid BBQ meal. The warm service and thoughtful touches really add to the experience. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m...

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at several Korean barbecue restaurants in Iteawon. Each with its own unique style. Ajiyang (AJ BBQ) gave me the sense of a Korean barbecue restaurant with a western twist. There is but one table, but the bar is absolutely spectacular. Vacuum brass elbows adorn the mahogany bar. The BBQ tops are cleverly disguised. You have got to visit this pub style restaurant. As I eluded to earlier… only one table to huddle around. Otherwise it’s all high chairs at the BBQ counter. I enjoyed the setup immensely. The staff are exceptional and very welcoming. They made our dining experience one to remember. I’ll definitely be...
