I visited with a friend for Hanwoo beef small intestine, mentaiko udon with pork belly and shrimp, and cherry ade; the crisp intestine and savory udon sauce stood out, along with the spacious tables and counter views of the griddle. ## Good to know - **Address**: 6 Donggyo-ro 30-gil, Yeontral Tower B1, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 마포구 동교로30길 6 연트럴타워 지하 1층) - **Directions**: In an alley toward Yeonnam-dong from Hongik University Station Exit 3 - **Mentaiko udon price**: ₩15,000 base price; ₩6,000 total for added pork belly and shrimp; ₩21,000 for the ordered version - **Ordered**: Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki, mentaiko udon with added pork belly and shrimp, and cherry ade - **Seating**: Counter seats with views of the teppanyaki cooking process; table spacing felt generous during my visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ## Where is Gusa Yeonnam? My friend and I went to Gusa Yeonnam (구사 연남), on a quiet alley in Yeonnam-dong, for teppanyaki. We walked in the direction of Yeonnam-dong from Hongik University Station Exit 3, and the restaurant was on B1 of Yeontral Tower at 6 Donggyo-ro 30-gil. ![Gusa Yeonnam surroundings on a Yeonnam-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-01-14bhv-900.webp) The area around the entrance already felt cozy. ![Cozy area around Gusa Yeonnam's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-02-1lret-900.webp) ![Entrance view of Gusa Yeonnam in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-03-2d97r-900.webp) ## What were the interior and table spacing like? Although it is underground, the restaurant felt pleasant inside. Small decorative items were placed around the space, making it fun to look around. ![Gusa Yeonnam interior with small decorative items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-04-xzx9e-900.webp) ![Decorative items and interior space at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-05-19thk-900.webp) ![Gusa Yeonnam interior decorated with small items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-06-11g7r-900.webp) ![Interior decor and decorative items at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-07-vkz8t-900.webp) ![Warm interior space at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-08-ynkzb-900.webp) The lighting and neat interior created a warm atmosphere. The generous space between tables was comfortable too. ![Lighting and table space inside Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-09-1v5mp-900.webp) ![Gusa Yeonnam interior with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-10-1mmum-900.webp) ![Neatly decorated seating area at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-11-2wvaw-900.webp) ## Can you watch the teppanyaki cooking process? From the counter seats, I could watch the teppanyaki being prepared right in front of me. The rich smell of butter and sounds of ingredients cooking made the wait enjoyable. The staff and owner were also kind. ![Gusa Yeonnam counter seats with teppanyaki cooking views](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-12-1a8vr-900.webp) ![Teppanyaki cooking area in front of Gusa Yeonnam's counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-13-7lsph-900.webp) ## What did we order, and how much was the mentaiko udon? The menu had several kinds of yakisoba, okonomiyaki, and set menus. We ordered Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki and mentaiko udon, and chose cherry ade to drink. ![Ordered teppanyaki dishes and drink at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-14-1ucnp-900.webp) ![Meal and drink choices at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-15-3q5lj-900.webp) We added pork belly and shrimp to the mentaiko udon. Its base price was ₩15,000, and the two add-ons totaled ₩6,000, making our mentaiko udon ₩21,000. The cherry ade arrived first and was a red-colored drink. Its sweet, tangy cherry flavor and carbonation made it a nice palate cleanser during the meal. ## What did the Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki taste like? The Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki arrived on a hot griddle. ![Hanwoo beef small intestine served on a hot griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-16-1dla5-900.webp) The well-grilled small intestine was crisp outside and moist inside. ![Crisply grilled Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-17-1js9t-900.webp) ![Hanwoo beef small intestine grilling on Gusa Yeonnam's griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-18-j2a2l-900.webp) The more I chewed, the more I could taste the rich flavor of the fat, while the house sauce gave it a clean finish. I did not notice any unpleasant odor, so I enjoyed it to the last bite. ![Hanwoo beef small intestine teppanyaki at Gusa Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-19-1upp7-900.webp) ![Hanwoo beef small intestine with a rich savory flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-20-11xgc-900.webp) ## How was the mentaiko udon with added pork belly and shrimp? I liked the mentaiko udon with added pork belly and shrimp. ![Gusa Yeonnam mentaiko udon with pork belly and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-21-1la27-900.webp) The salty mentaiko (pollock roe) sauce, with its popping texture, coated the plump udon noodles well. The flavor of golden-brown pork belly and the springy texture of shrimp came together for a rich savory taste. ![Udon with mentaiko sauce, pork belly, and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-22-1i5wc-1200.webp) ![Mentaiko udon with added pork belly and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-23-btba5-900.webp) ![Mentaiko udon with pork belly and springy shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon-24-1izr8-900.webp) ## Would it suit a date meal too? I visited with a friend this time, but the warm lighting and tidy interior made me think it would also suit a date meal. Watching the teppanyaki cooking and the kind service stayed with me too. Next time, I would like to try the yakisoba and okonomiyaki that I did not have this time. ## Where it is - Gusa Yeonnam (구사 연남) (구사 연남) - 6 Donggyo-ro 30-gil, Yeontral Tower B1, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 동교로30길 6 연트럴타워 지하1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로30길 6 연트럴타워 지하1층 - 37.5605202, 126.9245795 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B5%AC%EC%82%AC%20%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8/@37.5605202,126.9245795,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@before-the-bill-3/gusa-yeonnam-teppan-udon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
