Last year when I was shopping in Myeongdong, I passed by Yoogane and saw a pizza looking fried rice on an iron plate through the restaurant's window. I dined in and absolutely like it. So this time I went back again for their lovely Chicken Galbi Fried Rice!
Yoogane worked by choosing the main ingredients on the menu, then ordered sides such as rice, noodles, dokboki (rice cakes) according to your choice. What's more, you can mixed different main ingredients together if you have a big group dinning in. It looked it is a DIY frying house, but no worries as the waiter will cook it for you. (I guess its because we are foreigners?)
Marinated Seafood Fried Rice WON 5000, add Processed Cheese WON 2000
The first plate couldn't satisfy us four piggies, and I wasn't quite satisfy on the wudon as it tasted bad and the wudon couldn't make the pizza-like rice that I had last year. So we ordered a fried rice instead but in a smaller portion. Seafood were fried together with the rice, while the cheese were added last and covered with the fried rice. Next everything were pressed down together so a pizza-like look was resulted. We ordered 2 people portion so the rice couldn't filled the iron plate as below picture, but you sort of get what I mean right?
It turned out the fried rice tasted so much better than the wudon! Korea's rice grains are fatter than Chinese rice and the texture was pretty nice and chewy. The rice was fried until dry so the rice grains could separate with each other totally. With cheese added, each bite of the rice tasted heavenly palatable! The octopus still tasted nice and chewy but the shrimp was a bit small in size.
There are a lot of Yoogane stores in Seoul and they are all located in popular area as well. I guess the restaurant was a popular choice in Korea as it is always nearly full house. I have tried Yoogane in both Dongdaemun and Myeongdong, and I personally reckon the store in Myeongdong tasted much better than the one in Dongdaemun. If you happens to be around in Korea, I highly recommend you come try this restaurant out!

Marinated Chicken Galbi & Assorted Seafood WON 24,000,
add Dokboki (Rice cake) WON 3000
The portion is designed for 2-3 people, but you could definitely added extra ingredients to make it big. The dokboki was super yum, soft and chewy. The thick noodles, wudon was too soft in texture. The Octopus Head was amazingly juicy and chewy, so was the other parts of the Octopus. The Chicken Galbi was tasteful. I added cheese as well, but it didn't really fuse nicely with the wudon. It still tasted good though.
