I love yeon-Gil! I've been here about 4x and they've never disappointed. They've recently revamped the menu and the decor, it has more of a lounge vibe now. I love that they stay open real late because most restaurants in this area close at 10. I always try something new every time, my favorites were the clams which were stuffed and the whole spicy fish, the eggplant was good too. The entrees are huge so you'll have plenty of leftovers to last for a few days lol. All the dishes are packed with flavor, you can't go wrong with anything. I love the soju and the complimentary peanuts. The service is always nice and fast. This is a great date spot, you and your partner will love the vibes! read more

Awesome experience. Noodles, beef skewers, and lamb skewers. The food was amazing. The skewers are definitely cooked over some type of coal in the back which gives it a smoky charred flavor you don't usually get on bbq outside of Asia. Definitely reminded me of the bbq in Pakistan. The noodles were my favorite part and the reason I'm itching to go back. The simple umami flavor takes this dish far and I would say it needs nothing more and nothing less. You don't go here for the service, but you do go here for the great food and the ambiance. It seems as though they have a karaoke stage but I don't went during the week so I did not get to see it in action, hopefully I will when I return. Definitely take your friends here and try this one out. read more

After seeing all the hype on social media about this place, my friends and I decided to drop by after our escape room. There weren't that many things on the menu besides skewers and some seafood dishes. You order everything via the QR code printed on the menu, and everyone at the table shares the same cart. I thought you could split it at the end when paying like this other restaurant I frequented, but nope. Food didn't take long to come out, but there were only 3 tables around midnight. The skewers are cooked in the back, and they put this small heating unit to keep the skewers warm at the table. Since it was a large party, we didn't know which skewers are which and the servers didn't do a good job of explaining. They just drop the skewers off and then walk away. I had to ask them to tell me which one is which so we don't grab the wrong thing. Skewers are very small yet they cost $4 each??? I never had a good experience with skewer restaurants (besides one), and this is the same. The house special skewers are a little bigger than the other 3 skewers pack but still expensive. The seasoning is okay, nothing special. The only thing I liked was the intestine skewers, but not worth for me to visit again. I ordered a watermelon soju for the group to drink, which was not to my standard. I'm unsure if they put any soju in the watermelon because nobody felt anything. Other places I've been to was much stronger, so I was a little disappointed in that, especially since it was $35. Overall, this place was a disappointment. If it was busy when we came, then I would be more understanding of the service given. However, we were the last group to leave. Also, they said that we ordered some fried buns for $9, but nobody in the group clicked any button so I'm not sure where they got that. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN BRING THE ITEM OUT!! I understand if someone made a mistake, but to charge us and not bring the food out until we ASKED, that's basically STEALING. They tried to scam us by charging us and not giving us the food at all until I had to ask. My friend who paid was too shy to say anything and was willing to pay for it but that's $10. FOR BREADS btw. read more

This was a fun and unique experience! We'll definitely return. And when we do, we know better now what to order! Here's our breakdown: PROS: * Unique and different! * Protein friendly * Easy to order * casual vibe and great for double date night! * meat comes cooked but the table top feature keeps it warm! CONS: * kinda loud if you want to talk WHAT WE ATE: * Special beef skewer (5/5!) * cauliflower skewer (5/5!) * Pork Belly skewer (4/5!) * edamame (3/5) * Garlic Oysters (SO SPICY!!! But a solid 3/5) * Spicy Rice Cake (super unique!! 3/5 for me because of texture but flavor was wonderful! read more

We tried this spot for dinner on a weeknight. The service was quick, friendly, and helpful as we had a lot of questions. Most of the food was shareable, with the portions and flavor being the highlight. Was looking to try the garlic oysters but they weren't available. Will be back to try them next time! read more

We had a skewer phase, and Yeon-Gil is probably one of the best in town out of all we tried. However, it's pricey, and you can't get full without spending quite a bit. The vibe and service are great, and it's very suitable as a late night snack. When in doubt, get the lamb skewer! read more

Unfortunately, less than stellar night here. Food was, while tasty, too salty. Probably would be perfect if mixed with a liberal pouring of beer to avoid beer induced hyponatremia. But if you will not be drinking to your hearts content, be prepared for a salty night. Unfortunately, only one server reported in the night we went so service was limited although you can tell the poor girl was hustling as best as she could! Ambiance was super cool! Hip, young, hopping. Great for a night of beer, karaoke, and asian style bar food! Know what you're coming for and you'll have a great time. Not quite a place to just sit down and eat with a beer with your meal. Lots of great drink selections and it definitely livens up into the night. read more

If you are looking for a place to converse and eat with friends, I do not recommend eating here late night when they have karaoke going on... by intoxicated people. It's entirely way too loud and my table of 7 went on a night where the singing was atrocious so it was difficult for us to really enjoy the food. If you do happen to go and want to risk your ear drums popping, I do recommend the lamb skewers; YEON-GIL SPECIAL LAMB and HOUSE LAMB - along with the LAMB RACK which were all delicious and flavorful. Other skewers that were tasty were the TAIWANESE SAUSAGE and HOUSE BEEF TENDON. Sadly the PORK BELLY skewer was my least favorite due to lack of flavor. If you're a veggie person, you have to try their ENOKI MUSHROOMS and if you're a garlic person, try their EGGPLANT which is drenched in it. If you're going with a huge party, just keep in mind you put orders through the QR code on your phone so everyone at the table can put their orders in and it all gets put on the same bill. Mentioning this because it gets a little chaotic keeping track of what was ordered vs what comes out/doesn't come out. Would we come back? Maybe, during opening hours where *hopefully* less or no karaoke would be happening. read more

Wow. wow. wow. This is an interesting dinner spot for sure! From the outside, you would never know the excitement that's going on inside... First of all, we were here for the skewers and man they did not disappoint. We loved that we could scan QR code and put in our order ourselves. We ordered the cauliflower, tendon, and pork belly skewers. Even though we typed non-spicy in the comment section, they still all come out with a little spicy seasoning. I thought it was a little bit of a kick! We also got cucumber salad (this was the bomb with peanuts!), spicy little clams (my favorite), and grilled enoki mushrooms. For the kids that have low tolerance for spice, they loved the fried noodle dish with mushrooms and bok choy. Looks like there is a stage set up for karaoke and next time we intend on doing that! Really fun place! Be sure to look up when you're there! read more

Food and service was good. I really enjoyed the ambience here, great place for taking photos. Parking was available and restaurant was easy to find. I would come here again. You will need to place orders and pay through your phone. The only reason why I give 4 stars instead of 5 is due to food portion size, it's not very filling for the price you pay but the skewers are fun to eat. My favorite dish was the duck & beef tripe pot but they only give a very small amount for $19. Least favorite was the garlic eggplant. This is usually my favorite dish at these types of skewer restaurants but the one here lacked flavor. What we ordered: 1) Pork Intestine Skewers 2) Cow Throat Skewers 3) Beef Tendon Skewers 4) House Lamb Skewers 5) Garlic Eggplant $9 6) Duck Blood & Beef Tripe in Sichuan Spicy Sauce $19 7) Enoki Mushroom $9 read more

Super cool vibe with a straight up karoke machine and big screen at the front if you want to sing in front of random strangers haha. Currently its byob because they said they don't have their liqour license yet so bring your favorite sojus, beers, liqours and enjoy it with their food you can buy. I actually don't mind byob esp since this is literally right near 99 ranch where you can go buy your beers and sojus or go find a near liqour store like specs or total wine and bring it over. Also seems like a great spot to have a mini party or get together with some friends. Food wise it is a little bit expensive if you are trying to eat till full but if you just want some small bites and mainly drink then this seems like its a good place for it. More bar feel then resturant feel but I did come near dinner time so maybe it is a bit different during the day? Skewers i really enjoyed the squid, fish tofu, beef fried rice, special beef, special lamb, tendon were all good. The spicy rice cakes were not good or not what I was expecting? Tasted like tobasaco sauce or idk definitely not the korean spicy rice cakes that I was expecting but that was my mistake to think that from a Chinese restaurant lol read more

My daughter and I went to this restaurant for the first time, considering that we like Korean barbecue, and it will definitely be the last time. The thing that is served as kebab has nothing to do with kebab, and it is full of cumin even though we said we did not want spices. The water that was brought was as warm as tap water and the plain rice was cold. Extremely bad service, poor quality food, even the waiter could not speak English. Unfortunately, everyone opens a restaurant for money, and in the end they offer a tip of 18% or more. After paying and not eating the food, we went to the first food franchise and got hamburgers. read more

Yeon-Gil Seafood & Kababs - Size Beef Skewer (5Pc) 5 - Barbeque Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Came here with friends to try out this new restaurant. We ordered many items. The cucumber salad, mala beef pot, the beef noodle soup, crawfish and various different skewers. In the skewers, I found the flavor of cumin overwhelming. Especially on the corn, there was a strong flavor of uncooked cumin which made it inedible. Out of the beef, lamb, chicken, and cauliflower skewers, the cauliflower was my favorite. For the seafood boil, I would like if they could clarify that there is a 2lb minimum for any flavor. I wanted to order shrimp and crawfish in various flavors, but because of the restriction, we were only able to try one flavor. The crawfish tasted very good after the sauce had settled down. I enjoyed the woodear mushroom in the mala pot and the noodle soup was refreshing. While I have mixed feelings about the food, the service here could be worked on. We waited for 15 minutes after we were seated until I asked a worker for our server. Throughout the meal we had to constantly ask for our cups to be refilled or to order more food. Overall this place has some good and some bad, but I'm glad I checked it out once. I'm not sure if I'd go again. read more

If you're wanting to get together to eat and have a couple of drinks with your friends in the Frisco area, this is definitely one of places I'd recommend although my friends and I wasn't interested in their drinks. Not only the food wasn't so not bad but the portion sizes were good and the atmosphere, live (karaoke) singing, is a plus. Not sure if it will be up for the public to sign up and sing and if they have other karaoke language options. The portions size are pretty good for its price. Service for us was basically just the waiters coming around to ask for water refill a few times. Again, we didn't have any drinks. The only down side is the sauces seem to be the same. Such as the octopus dish and the clam dish with noodles. My personal favorite was the jellyfish in vinegar. I was amazed at how much jellyfish was in it. It was also, the most different so I was able to go back to it to change my palettes and continue to eat the other stuff. If you've never had jellyfish before, it's a crunchy texture. Not at all slimy. The oysters in garlic was good as well. Warning- it's about a level 4 spicy if you do eat the chili on top. The crab dish also had plenty of crabs in it. Probably a good 3 whole crabs. Be prepare to get your fingers dirty! Wish they would have gave us crackers (we didn't ask since we had so much food) or kinda cracked the claws for us. The frog legs with tofu in pot was ok. Again the seasoning seemed repetitive. The tofu was too thick and didn't soak up any flavors. We (3 of us ladies, not just me) didn't like the enoki mushrooms. The flavor/seasoning just did not do it for us. And I love mushrooms The skewers that we had were ok. More flavorful and plentiful than expected. We had chicken gizzards, tendons, pork intestines (a must), squid tentacles, squid, lamb, beef and cows throat which was something we haven't had before and it crunchy but nothing amazing to us. read more

We went here late after a con. The place was actually pretty slow and not crowded. Which was nice but also lame. They had some good music playing which was nice. The beer selection is small but the one i had was good. The waiter was attentive without being a bother. The food was good, hot and delicious. The ramen my friend had was spicy (she doesn't like spicy) but she did say it tasted good aside. The leek/pork dumplings were good. I would have liked a spicy sauce or something (didn't think to ask tho). But overall it was good and I would go back read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere, what's not to like? I decided to give this place a try after all the hype, and the experience did not disappoint! We ordered many of the skewers off the menu, the specialty skewers were great and definitely larger than the average meat skewers you get at other place. We also got the grilled fish ($45) and the portion was bigger than we expected! Taste was delicious. The inside decor had a night club vibe, there's a karaoke stage inside where they play popular Asian music on a loop. Would recommend you come here with some friends and try out the many variety of things on their menu including the cold dishes. We'll be back! read more

Came back a second time.... And still good! Consistency for the win! Flavors popp'n #nomnom Tried 2 new dishes - Cucumber with Garlic Sauce: refreshing and flavorful. Salty, hint of sour, hint of spice, packed with flavor Seafood Boil: in order to get this one you have to order 2lbs of seafood. We decided on the snow crab & Scallop with the Mala Sauce. It was really good! There were vermicelli noodles in the scallops, so flavorful bc it soaked up all that sauce! Definitely a recommend! Clams, croaker fish, green beans, cauliflower will be our absolute 'go-to'. Got it again and it was just as amazing at they were the first time! Will be back! read more

No Asian beer, no paper towels in bathroom out of stock we asked this was a red flag for us. We had Mexican beer at an Asian restaurant. Nonexistent customer service from the time we were seated and differently unenthusiastic about us being there to dine. You could tell by crowd compared to other restaurants in area there wasn't a crowd for Friday night. Food was flat with very little flavor but very spicy and not informed when we order. We really couldn't distinguish or get a flavor from what we were eating. For $80 for two not worth it. No one ever came to table to ask about how we liked our food. I can't believe the reviews that lured us to dine. I believe they are FAKE... beef skewers, clams very small, spicy noodles, seafood build your combo nothing special about food. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and had a fantastic time. There was no crowd on a Sunday evening which was great and we were able to be ourselves and hear each other well. Even though there was no crowd, the service was still lacking. There was only one girl running the place with a few tables but our beer orders came out slow. It was nice that we could order from our phones and it combines what each of us ordered into one check. Unfortunately we can't choose the items to pay and only split evenly amongst ourselves. For the food, The kebabs were fantastic! Definitely get their beef special, pork belly, Taiwanese sausage, and squid kebabs. Amazing flavors and seasoning. It's not much per order and it does add up so prepare to spend a lot. It's nice that they sit on a candle lit container that keeps the kebabs warm. We ordered potato fried rice to eat with the kebabs and they complimented each other very well. I also tried the garlic oysters and they were fantastic. Another dish we ordered were rice cakes that were covered in some tomato sauce which was different. We didn't finish it because it wasn't that good and the texture was off. We also shared an alcoholic drink that's serve in a watermelon. It tasted pretty strong and was a good amount but it would've been nice if it had actual pieces of watermelon in it like other places. Overall it was a great experience and a fun place to take pictures. I'll consider coming here again because the kebabs were addicting with their fried rice. read more

Dropped by for dinner a few months ago to try this place out when a friend was in town and we quite enjoyed the experience! The interior is very cool, which makes sense when you consider that it turns into a bar in the later hours of the day. The skewers here are a little pricier than similar places in the area like Fat Ni, but I enjoyed trying some of the different offerings on the menu. I would avoid the lamb skewers, which is not something I usually say about a skewer place and knocked off a star since that's usually my favorite, but here it was honestly a bit tough and dry; surprisingly, the chicken was actually super juicy and flavorful. The sausage was quite tasty and you can never go wrong with enoki mushroom and fish tofu. Drinks were also great! As we ate, some people were going up to sing karaoke too, so the atmosphere was super fun. read more

Food - 4 Service - 3 Value - 3 We came here a few weeks ago and while the food was good -- after a while it started tasting the same since it seems like very similar seasoning is used for everything. Service was average and in the end, I felt the prices were a bit on the high side for what you get. read more

I think their service is good but the waitress English is not great for order to go. How can I order 2 skewers for each ( beef, squid, chicken feet, pork belly) and I made her read again what I order on the phone so 8 total. I don't know what the heck she is thinking she made one order for 5 pieces. It likes 5 times compared to what I ordered. It's a nightmare!!!! Not comeback even I really like this place a lot before!!!!! read more

Pros: - the skewers r flavorful (bttr than fatni imo) - the beef noodle soup is warm & just the right amount of spicy - they also have a place to keep the skewer warm - they are open till 2 am - they play cantonese music Cons: - the food is pricy - the oysters are not very fresh & overall the flavor is lackluster if you like foodie content, follow @m0nsterati on tiktok for more :) read more

Been here couple of times, great varieties, but main entrees are not always consistent. Great for groups that enjoys skewers, drinking and singing in front of other diners.

The atmosphere is really cool and we were seated by the huge KAWs sculpture. The ordering is easy and gives us pictures to view what we're getting. I should have taken pictures but the food took so long to come out I forgot to. I ordered 4 dishes: the three that arrived were Spicy Clams, Taiwanese Sausage, & House Beef Tendon. Spicy clams: lots of broken shells and sand in it. I cut myself and thought I cracked a tooth with all the tiny shells embed in it Taiwanese sausage: delicious, sweet, & Smoky House beef tendon: great chewy texture but disgusting taste of propane. I don't plan to ever come back because we kept being the last ones to get food and in the end, some of our dishes never came out. We gave up and paid after waiting an hour for the food. read more

Yeon-Gil Seafood & Kababs - Spicy Rice Cake - Barbeque Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Was excited to try this new restaurant, but came out to be 3 stars. Concept is a restaurant that has a stage with a microphone. So if someone sings, we can enjoy their singing. Really fun and I wish more ppl were singing! Water was served a little late but food came in fast. You scan a QR code and order online and the website will tell you if they are preparing your order. One dish I enjoyed was the fried noodles. Sweet and had eggs too. I would suggest that the restaurant tone down on the spice for the spicy dishes. It was even spicy for my in-laws who are Chinese! Also, the eggplant dish was soooo garlicky. I couldn't finish my bite of eggplant because it was soaked in a thick garlic sauce. Also, it comes as a whole flattened eggplant. It's all good and fun until the restaurant doesn't provide/have a knife for us to share and cut it. So I kinda had to use chopsticks/my teeth to separate the dish to share hahah I like the concept, fast service, and ambiance, but food was okay. Tip: they give you watered down beer if you leave a review. Even I could tell (I don't drink beer much). Haha read more

Abundant parking in the adjacent lot. This is a loud and very Chinese place with Chinese karaoke playing nonstop. Full of Chinese patrons the menu is predominantly in Chinese with English translation. Friendly staff who speak English. We waited a long time for our meal so I can't say this was a five-star experience. And the food was not overwhelming with much of it it seemed to me seasoned very similarly. Nonetheless I assume it's quite authentic because it was very unusual cuisine to me. We had the skewer combo which was fried and included green beans, a variety of sausage, chicken and other things. All very unusual and we were so hungry that we really enjoyed them. We also ordered chicken wings which were six extremely small wings for $12. I can't recommend the wings although they were seasoned OK. I remember the days when it was hard to find anything but American food in the Dallas area. Those days are long gone I'm glad to say and this location is certainly proof of that. If you're looking for something different I definitely would recommend this although, like they say about Chinese food, I did leave hungry! I should add we ordered fried rice and it was quite tasty but it wouldn't hold together and so I was almost impossible to eat with chopsticks. We also had an order of mushrooms which was very unusual and absolutely the best thing we had that night. read more

Love the atmosphere! I was very impressed with their interior design, especially the karaoke stage part for those who love the sing The food was excellent, highly recommend their spicy frog in pot, the frog leg was super tender and flavorful Their thai style chicken feet and Yeon-Gil special lamb are also very good! About the service, I have to say, the manager need to hire more people, 3 hours for a meal is a little too much! read more

I enjoyed the ambience, displays, decorations, and lighting of the restaurant. The place has a late night club/bar feeling. You order with your phone and pay with a check that a cashier brings out after you check out on your phone. Although the place can be somewhat pricey (depending on your orders), my girlfriend and I really think it was worth checking out. The skewers and corn were tender and seasoned well with a hint of spice as well. Although the osmanthus tea was initially sugary at first, it complemented the spice of the mala spicy seafood soup which it made us taste more of the tea in it. The fish in the soup was soft and had a nice mild-medium spice to it. The oysters were $18 and small, but we did enjoy the garlic seasoning of the dish (probably won't get it again because of the size vs. price). We also got the spicy beef soup which tasted more herbal and has numbing spice but we did not enjoy it as much. They do have a small wooden box with a grill and foil over it to keep the skewers warm with tea candles underneath. The staff were friendly and attentive. Although, it seemed they were short staffed on servers and busy with other customers, they attended to our needs/requests promptly when we got their attention. read more

Have been wanting to come for a while, didn't t really know what to expect. Came on a Friday night and enjoyed some asian music and heard live karaoke singing which made the place very lively every time there was live music. The restaurant is quite nice, perfect place for a date. Very airy and open. We ordered the seafood fried rice- not like other asian restaurants. It had crunchy fish pieces- not my cup of tea, but the fried rice part was exactly the kind I liked (not the soy sauce kind) so I just picked out the fish and ate separately. We also ordered the sautéed pea shoots- on the salty side- but I love it! The lamb and beef skewers were really delicious as well, but spicy. Service is good, they came to refill water quite often and brought extra napkins without us asking, definitely attentive. Great place! Glad we finally tried it. read more
