Haekbap Amsa is a rice bowl, tonkatsu, udon and soba restaurant on Ollimpik-ro near Amsa Station in Gangdong, Seoul. On a weekday lunch with her husband, the blogger ordered the zaru soba and tonkatsu set (15,000 won) and the Fukuoka udon (9,500 won), and the cold buckwheat soba, crispy tonkatsu and rich udon broth all beat her expectations. With a varied menu and an easy solo-dining setup, Haekbap Amsa is a good pick for a casual lunch in Amsa-dong.
