Adjustable broth strength and thick pork belly chashu make Ryusenso Dongseong-ro a solid late-night ramen stop in Daegu. ## Good to know - **Location**: 57 Gongpyeong-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu (near Gongpyeong Intersection) - **Parking**: No private lot or parking validation; use the Gukchaebosang Movement public parking lot across the street - **Ordered**: Ryusenso Ramen, Karai Ryusenso Ramen, Ryusenso gyoza, extra noodles - **Ryusenso gyoza**: 5 pieces, 6,000 won - **Extra noodles**: 2,000 won (feels like about 0.7 of a serving) - **Spice level**: Karai Ryusenso Ramen comes in levels 1 to 3 - **Seating**: Counter seats plus three 4-person tables (including a bench), groups of up to 12 possible - **Time of visit**: Just after 8pm, no wait - **Price reference**: ₩6,000 ≈ $4.5 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Signature tonkotsu ramen photo at Ryusenso Dongseong-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-01-1t2g6-1200.webp) Ryusenso Dongseong-ro, a Daegu ramen restaurant. It's a rich-broth tonkotsu ramen spot that's grown into a nationwide chain. ## Where is Ryusenso Dongseong-ro, and where do you park? ![Exterior of Ryusenso Dongseong-ro near Gongpyeong Intersection](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-02-1yfyw-966.webp) Ryusenso, a Dongseong-ro ramen restaurant near Gongpyeong Intersection! Since it's open late into the night, I visited just after 8pm! 🅿 There's no dedicated parking lot or parking support at Ryusenso, but the Gukchaebosang Movement public parking lot across the street means you can park cheaply! ![View near the entrance of Ryusenso Dongseong-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-03-13sjs-m-966.webp) ![Photos of ramen and gyoza menu items posted on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-04-mn7rq-966.webp) Photos of the menu items — tonkotsu ramen, spicy tonkotsu ramen, oyster ramen, gyoza — are posted on the wall inside! ## Inside Ryusenso Dongseong-ro: counter seats and group tables ![Indoor waiting area set up at Ryusenso](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-05-1klut-966.webp) Ryusenso often has a wait, so I really appreciated that they set up a comfortable waiting area indoors rather than outside! ![Counter seats at Ryusenso Dongseong-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-06-fg0zn-966.webp) We arrived past 8pm and just two counter seats were open, so we ate with no wait at all!! ![Open kitchen where cooking is visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-07-co3xo-966.webp) The open kitchen let us watch everything being cooked, and it looked clean and hygienic, which I liked~ ![Group seating with 4-person tables and bench seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-08-iaki6-966.webp) The place was packed so I couldn't get a shot earlier, but on our way out I took a photo — three 4-person tables with bench seating, set up so a group of 12 could dine together!! ## The menu at Ryusenso Dongseong-ro ![Ramen menu board at Ryusenso Dongseong-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-09-ce3i3-966.webp) ![Menu board listing side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-10-2c255-966.webp) ![Menu board for extra noodles and toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-11-ady4c-966.webp) ![Menu board for alcohol and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-12-1o1qx-966.webp) Here's the menu at Ryusenso, a Dongseong-ro ramen restaurant in Daegu~! Six main ramen options, five sides, extra noodle/topping add-ons, plus alcohol and drinks! ## What two people ordered: Ryusenso Ramen, Karai Ryusenso Ramen, gyoza and extra noodles - Ryusenso Ramen - Karai Ryusenso Ramen - Ryusenso gyoza - Extra noodles ![Two bowls of ramen and gyoza served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-13-1vdye-966.webp) Everything we ordered came out at almost the same time! The extra noodles came separately, boiled fresh, right when we were about to finish the bowls!! I think that's because the bowls are all a fixed size, so there's not really room to add more noodles directly. ![A bowl of the basic tonkotsu Ryusenso Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-14-1ijv1-966.webp) ### Ryusenso Ramen: the basic tonkotsu bowl What I had was the most basic option, the Ryusenso Ramen — a classic tonkotsu! It has milky pork broth with chashu, egg, green onion, and wood ear mushroom! ![Close-up of the milky tonkotsu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-15-17cc8-966.webp) The broth is really rich and delicious, and if you find it too salty, you can add more broth to adjust the concentration! I ate it as-is and it was neither too salty nor too bland — just right~ ![Noodles coated in broth lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-16-1gt62-966.webp) The noodles were cooked to a good firmness and coated well with the broth — delicious! You could skip a trip to Japan for tonkotsu ramen and still be satisfied here! ![Half soft-boiled egg in the Ryusenso Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-17-nv5kp-966.webp) ![Thick pork belly chashu topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-18-10zhv-966.webp) Besides the noodles, there's a half soft-boiled egg, and the chashu was a bit unusual — not thin and wide, but thick-cut pork belly. Doesn't seem like they're using mass-produced Japanese-market chashu! ![Karai Ryusenso Ramen topped with spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-19-1igan-966.webp) ### How spicy is Karai Ryusenso Ramen at level 1? My companion had the Karai Ryusenso Ramen! It's the regular tonkotsu ramen with an added spicy sauce, adjustable from level 1 to 3! ![Broth of Karai Ryusenso Ramen at spice level 1](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-20-c598j-966.webp) Level 1 is about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, but the heat actually hits harder than Shin Ramyun! If you find the plain tonkotsu ramen a bit rich, I'd recommend the spicy Karai Ryusenso Ramen too! You feel the heat, but it's not overwhelming — level 1 is very manageable! ![Noodles from the spicy ramen lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-21-1sj96-966.webp) Later, when the extra noodles came, I wanted to eat them spicy, so I put them all in the spicy bowl first and then we split it — delicious haha ![Ryusenso gyoza with one side pan-fried crispy](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-22-kzbq2-966.webp) ### Ryusenso gyoza: 5 pieces for 6,000 won For a side, we ordered the Ryusenso gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) — one side was cooked crispy while the other was soft and tender! Five pieces for ₩6,000! The moment you bite in, the juices burst out with a moist texture — quite different from regular fried dumplings, and it went really well with the ramen?? Worth considering if you're adding a side! ![Extra noodles served separately after being boiled](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-23-w2cmb-966.webp) ### Extra noodles for 2,000 won: how much do you get? Just as we were finishing up, the extra noodles arrived! For ₩2,000, it's a pretty generous amount. They came freshly boiled, and we were told to add them in right away! ![Amount of extra noodles added to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night-24-1s8vt-966.webp) Once added to the broth, this was the amount — I'd guess about 0.7 servings — but the two of us split it and finished it off happily. ## Is Ryusenso Dongseong-ro worth a late-night visit? Ryusenso Dongseong-ro, a Daegu ramen restaurant, is a great spot to grab a solo meal for lunch or dinner! It's already a well-known chain across the country, so I'd definitely recommend stopping by when you want a simple meal in Dongseong-ro!! ## Where it is - Ryusenso Dongseong-ro (류센소 동성로점) - 57 Gongpyeong-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 공평로 57 1층 류센소 - 35.8691781, 128.5999007 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A5%98%EC%84%BC%EC%86%8C%20%EB%8F%99%EC%84%B1%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.8691781,128.5999007,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@banchon-late-window/ryusenso-dongseongno-ramen-gyoza-night/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
