    Very authentic Japanese ramen, I love the way to grind garlic and sesame as I want

    Decent for its price, soup base is thick enough with oil. However when eaten with noodle, noodle lacked a bit of flavour. 9000 won is well worth it though.

    Came here during a visit in Seoul. There’s a waiting area which is one store away to the right. The place is tiny with enough seats for less than 20 people. There’s surprisingly a lot of staff for that many guests in my opinion but it doesn’t hurt. The music and vibe is not very zenful but entertaining enough. The menu is simple: just Tonkotsu ramen, with or with less oil. There’s one small and thin piece of chashu pork in each bowl. If you want more meat, you must order extra chashu when you order the ramen. You cannot add on after you order the ramen. There’s one more type of ramen that are available after 10pm. There’s water, kim chee, and garlic on the table for your own taste. I added garlic and received extra green onions from my friend. The broth is thick but on the less salty side comparing to other ramen I’ve had (I’ve had a lot!) The chashu is not too special. The bean sprout inside the bowl I found a little unnecessary. Like it makes it extra less salty... All in all a good experience. Staff speaks minimum English.

    It is a small authentic place with a wooden sliding door and the typical kind of curtain in front of it. The inside is also quite what you might know from ramen places in Japan. The menu is short but all dishes on it were delicious. "Simple but good" puts it in a nutshell 덮밥도 맛있었고 라멘도 맛있네요! 굿

    This restaurant was on a TV Show that tells you about good restaurants. The main dish of this house is ramen. I chose soft broth that was degreasing the meat, but it wasn't as special as I thought. I think it would be better to choose Inramen, a Japanese-style donkotsu ramen.

    Very flavourful broth. Staff were friendly. The shop was not well-ventilated though.

    Delicious and no frills Japanese Ramen. Fast & friendly service. To have one veggie option would be awesome. But traditionally Japanese Ramen are meat soup basis, so I understand. Would absolutely recommend it. Hasn't lost quality in taste in the last 10 years.

    Make sure to get extra noodles which offers you a full amount for less than a dollar

    The food was really good. Its a ramen shop so they only have ramen and some drinks. My friend brought me here. Good place to come have a bowl of ramen during winter. Its less people on day time compared to weekday night. Most customers are univ students or young people. Their staff speaks little English.

    Very rude staff! Food might be good, but not worth the experience. We were pushed out in the rain many times, even without blocking the entrance or other customer…..

    It's a small place, but delicious. It's good for people eating solo as well!!

    I went twice during my stay in Seoul, not much to add. Great experience overall. Ramen was perfect, the pig-rice dish was amazing. Just go and enjoy a true japanese place.
