Visiting on a Sunday at 7:30pm with one number ahead in the wait, the writer ordered the signature scallop uni oil pasta (linguine) and steak cream ragù (pappardelle) with a set add-on, and both plates delivered — whole scallops, spicy kkwarigochu peppers, and a tender medium-rare steak — making it a solid pick for a date-night restaurant. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Address**: 30 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - **Transit**: 342m from Jungangno Station Exit 6 - **Ordering**: Choose pasta (Basic or Signature), then choose noodle (fresh or dried) - **Ordered**: Scallop uni oil pasta + linguine, Steak cream ragù + pappardelle - **Set add-on**: +₩4,000 (salad, house-made corn cream soup, bushman bread) - **Seating**: About 8 tables for four, restroom inside - **Waiting**: Table management kiosk available - **Event**: ₩1,000 off for cash/bank transfer payments over ₩30,000; ice cream with a Naver photo receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Plate, a pasta restaurant in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-01-1y6qi-900.webp) I visited the Dunsan-dong branch not long ago, and since there's one near my house too, I took the chance to go again. Let me introduce Plate, a pasta restaurant in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon, and how this branch feels different from the Dunsan-dong one. ![A visit record photo of Plate's Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-02-xqd4c-900.webp) ## Plate Sunhwa branch: hours and location - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:30 - Address: 30 Jungang-ro 121beon-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 342m from Jungangno Station Exit 6 ![Plate's exterior tucked in a Sunhwa-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-03-1oea3-900.webp) ![The entrance atmosphere at Plate's Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-04-gel30-900.webp) ## Sunday, 7:30pm — how was the wait? It's tucked away small in a corner of a Sunhwa-dong alley. Even the outside had a nice vibe — whether they were already decorating for Christmas or this is just how it looks year-round, I'm not totally sure haha😅 I visited around 7:30pm on a Sunday, and the inside was packed — we were number 1 in the queue. Unlike the Dunsan branch, there's a table-management kiosk here, so the wait was at least a bit more comfortable :) ![Plate's black and wood-tone interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-05-1sr49-900.webp) ### Black and wood-tone interior The interior is done in black and wood tones, and the dim lighting made the atmosphere feel even better. Sure enough, a lot of couples were visiting. I only managed to snap this photo after the crowd had thinned post-meal. Overall it's cozy but compact — about 8 tables for four — and there's a restroom inside too, so it has everything it needs! ![The pasta menu board at Plate's Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-06-1scuc-900.webp) ![Menu listing Basic and Signature pasta options](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-07-wevjc-900.webp) ![Menu board explaining fresh vs. dried noodle choice](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-08-1jycw-900.webp) ## The menu board and how to order Here's the menu board at Plate, our pasta pick in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon. A staff member comes over to explain how ordering works! First you pick which pasta you want, then choose the noodle to your taste. For pasta types there's Basic and Signature, and for noodles there's fresh and dried. We ordered the Signature scallop uni oil pasta with linguine, and the steak cream ragù with pappardelle — and added the set to just one of them (+₩4,000). ![A sign announcing Plate's current events](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-09-1pjej-900.webp) Plate's current events: 1. ₩1,000 off when paying by cash (bank transfer) over ₩30,000. 2. Ice cream with a Naver photo receipt review. They're running these, so take part :) ![Water and pickles served as a starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-10-uvlo9-900.webp) ![Salt and whole peppercorns on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-11-1arqa-900.webp) ![Table setting and water bottle at Plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-12-zr4qh-900.webp) After ordering, they brought out water and pickles first — pretty pink pickles, along with salt and whole peppercorns on the side, and even a gorgeous-looking water bottle..🩵 ![The Plate salad included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-13-1lg51-900.webp) ![House-made corn cream soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-14-1dk79-900.webp) ![Bushman bread served warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-15-146tt-900.webp) ![Bushman bread served with whipped cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-16-l1x2b-900.webp) ![The full three-part set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-17-cgkcc-900.webp) ## The set: salad, corn cream soup, bushman bread These are the three things that come with the set: Plate salad, house-made corn cream soup, and bushman bread. The salad dressing was fresh and tasty, and the house-made corn cream soup was, true to its name, full of corn flavor 🌽 The bushman bread came out warm with whipped cream on the side to go with it. It was a great way to build appetite before the meal, and the bread was so soft and sweet that my niece devoured it happily. Ordering the set is cheaper overall, and of course you can also add these à la carte (for an extra charge). ![Two pasta plates served at Plate's Sunhwa branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-18-1z9z2-1200.webp) My own pasta, plated with such a flashy look. Doesn't it look incredibly appetizing? ![Steak cream ragù pappardelle](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-19-hbeer-900.webp) ![The medium-rare steak topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-20-187pp-900.webp) ![Thick pappardelle noodles in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-21-1i5bs-900.webp) ## Steak cream ragù + pappardelle I picked the pappardelle — described as having a wide, doughy-dumpling texture — thinking it would pair well with the heavy sauce, and the noodles really were thick with a satisfying chew, which made it quite filling. The steak on top was cooked medium-rare but still tender, not tough at all. They gave a generous amount of sauce too, so there was plenty throughout, and dipping the leftover bushman bread into it made it even better. ![Scallop uni oil pasta with linguine](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-22-a7qb2-900.webp) ![Whole scallop and bay scallop meat on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-23-jn60b-900.webp) ![Oil pasta topped with kkwarigochu peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta/plate-seonhwa-scallop-uni-oil-pasta-24-1q4io-900.webp) ## Scallop uni oil pasta + linguine And then the oil pasta topped with kkwarigochu peppers, scallop, and bay scallops. They put in two whole big scallops, plus the scallop meat was plump and full of seafood aroma, and the kkwarigochu peppers added a spicy kick that balanced nicely with what could otherwise be a heavy cream pasta. I ordered it with linguine, though honestly I couldn't quite tell if what came out was spaghetti or linguine (?) — either way, it went so well together that I enjoyed every bite 👏🏻 ## How it compares to the Dunsan branch The overall vibe was different from the Dunsan branch, but the taste was satisfying at both locations. If you're looking for a good-atmosphere date restaurant around Daeheung or Sunhwa-dong, I'd recommend Plate, our pasta pick in Sunhwa-dong, Daejeon.
