Known for Japanese cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
3 min walk from Mapo-gu Office Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like Hongdae Guide: Seoul's Indie Music & Nightlife Hub.
Japanese cuisine has deep roots in Seoul, shaped by geographic proximity and a long shared history. Seoul-style Japanese restaurants range from affordable sushi conveyor belts and ramen shops to high-end omakase counters. Quality fish is flown in daily, and Korean chefs often put their own spin on Japanese classics — thicker broths, spicier condiments, and seasonal Korean ingredients woven into traditional recipes.
Mapo-gu — home to Hongdae, Sinchon, and Hapjeong — is Seoul's youth and arts district, defined by its university population, live music venues, and creative energy. The food scene is diverse, affordable, and experimental: trendy cafés, late-night pojangmacha, global street food, and boundary-pushing restaurants all compete for attention in this perpetually buzzing neighbourhood.

Michelin Guide Seoul ramen restaurant I ordered 유즈시오라멘(Citron Shio Ramen). Shio(시오) means salt. 유즈 is Yuzu/Yuza/citron. Chashu(pork) and egg is included. You can choose not to include them in your dish. I personally like yuzu a lot, so I enjoyed yuzu ramen. They have Japanese and Korean staff. They play Japanese music.
Excellent shio yuzu ramen. Perfect for the summer. Light & refreshing! If you don’t want to wait, come 15-20min early before they open. There might be a queue still on weekends. So good to know I can find quality ramen without flying to Japan.
