Hangongyan Charcoal BBQ (Wanda Plaza)

Hangongyan Charcoal BBQ (韩宫宴炭火烤肉) is a Korean-style barbecue restaurant inside Wanda Plaza in the Yicheng Subdistrict of Yixing, Jiangsu province, China. Yicheng is the main urban centre of Yixing, and Wanda Plaza is its principal shopping and entertainment complex, so the restaurant draws shoppers, families and groups of friends rather than pottery-tour visitors. The cuisine follows the Korean barbecue format popular across Chinese cities: raw meat is brought to the table and grilled over charcoal by the diners themselves or by staff, then wrapped in lettuce or eaten with dipping sauces and side dishes. Signature items are charcoal-grilled pork belly and sliced beef. Pork belly is cooked until the fat renders and the edges crisp, and the beef slices cook in moments. Prices are mid-range at roughly CNY 90-160 per person, depending on how much meat is ordered. The dining room is lively, with grill smoke extracted overhead, group tables and conversation at a high volume, particularly on weekend evenings; the dress code is casual, though diners may wish to avoid clothing that holds smoke odours. Drinks typically include beer, soft drinks and tea, and groups often order beer alongside the meat. Reservations are not formally needed, but at peak lunch and weekend dinner, arriving before about 11:30 or 17:30 reduces waiting, and mall restaurants often issue queue numbers at busy times. The restaurant operates roughly 11:00-22:00, later than most traditional Yixing restaurants, so it is a useful option for late dinners. As part of the mall, it is reachable by taxi or ride-hailing app and has the convenience of shopping and parking facilities nearby. It suits visitors who want a change from Jiangnan home cooking.
