Yu-Ga-Ne Teppan Restaurant
Last night I had the pleasure of having dinner with “Radio’s Pete Ross” and Tony. I’ve been wanting to check out this teppan (hot skillet) restaurant downtown. With a few beers in our stomachs we were aching for a meal.
If you stroll down the back alley with fortune tellers and that cup pizza guy, you will end up near the OST jewelry store. Swing a right and walk about five seconds. On your left you will see 유가네 (Yu-Ga-Ne).
This place is big, it’s got two levels, which may give you a chance to squeeze in during peak dining hours. The interior is bright, and during our experience, full of young college-aged people.
We decided on getting a seafood pancake (5,000W) and three portions of Dalk-Gabli, marinated chicken, (7,500W a person) and two servings of rice (3,000W).
We all agreed that the flavors were great, and the ratio of cabbage to chicken was in good form. There is also a self-service kimchi and salad station, which we destroyed three times. About half way through eating your chicken, they bring the rice on and fry it on the skillet. It’s pretty damn good.

(did you know Pete Ross is also a hand model?)
Overall this place rocks. If you don’t mind spending between 6,000 to 10,000W on some good food, check this place out! The chicken is spicy, but a good amount of heat; it’s not like going to Crazy Pepper, where you’re solely there to see how much heat you can handle. Tony left feeling full and Pete and I left satisfied. If you’re downtown, needing some grub before a big night, hit this place up!

How to get there: Take a cab downtown to Amigliore, or any of the numerous buses. Go down the alley with the Twosome Place. Walk down until you see California Roll on your left hand side. Swing a left and walk down past the Smoothie King and look left for Yu-Ga-Ne, 유가네.
