Between the dine-in crowd and all the deliveries, it felt like a popular ramen spot in the Konkuk Univ. area. ![Busy interior of Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-03-x0qs4-737.webp) ![Seating inside Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-04-5oxk8-900.webp) There are tables for 2 and for 4. The shop itself is on the small side, so it's more of a cozy, compact place to eat than a spacious, relaxed one. Most ramen shops are like that, right? It can get crowded depending on when you go, so keep that in mind! ![Tables for 2 and 4 at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-05-nigx4-900.webp) ## Sonoki Ramen menu and prices ### Set menus with a drink - Sonoki SET + drink ₩17,600 - Miso SET + drink ₩17,800 - Mazemen (brothless mixed noodles) SET + drink ₩15,500 - Couple SET + drink ₩29,500 - Sonoki + steamed rice + drink ₩15,300 - Hangover ramen + steamed rice + drink ₩15,000 ![Set menu board at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-06-jfrh4-900.webp) ### À la carte ramen and sides - Sonoki Ramen ₩11,800 - Miso Ramen ₩12,000 - Mazemen ₩12,500 - Maze rice bowl ₩12,500 - Hangover ramen ₩11,000 - Mini maze rice bowl ₩3,800 ![Single-item ramen menu board at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-07-nkv0m-900.webp) ![Menu guide at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-08-yhkvg-900.webp) Here's the table setting at Sonoki Ramen. ![Table setting at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-09-1dkqo-900.webp) ![Basic items on the table at Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-10-1srew-900.webp) ## What I ordered on a rainy day - Sonoki Ramen ₩11,800 - 2 extra chashu slices ₩2,500 - Oolong tea ₩3,000 - Ramune (Japanese soda) ₩3,500 ![Table spread with Sonoki Ramen, extra chashu, oolong tea and ramune](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-11-1x16k-1200.webp) ## Signature Sonoki Ramen: how is the broth on a rainy day? Sonoki Ramen (₩11,800) seems to be the signature dish here, so it felt like a good pick for a first visit. A steaming bowl of ramen is just what you think of on a rainy day! The broth was deep and made for a hearty meal. The standard toppings are garlic, green onion, a soft-boiled egg, menma (seasoned bamboo shoots) and chashu (braised pork slices). ![Sonoki Ramen topped with a soft-boiled egg, menma and chashu](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-12-y67r5-900.webp) ## Is the extra smoky chashu worth it? I added 2 extra chashu slices (₩2,500) to the Sonoki Ramen. They're sliced thin, so they were easy to eat together with the noodles, and I loved the subtle charred, smoky flavor. Eaten with the broth, they added even more depth to the ramen. If you like chashu, I'd recommend adding some! ![Thinly sliced extra chashu and ramen noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-13-1l2sq-900.webp) ## Oolong tea with the ramen The oolong tea (₩3,000) at Sonoki Ramen has no sweetness at all, just a clean, plain oolong. If you'd rather have something easy to sip with your meal than a sugary drink, it should suit you well! ![Oolong tea from Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch served with ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen-14-6blmd-900.webp) ## Is Sonoki Ramen a good-value ramen shop near Konkuk Univ. Station? If you're looking for a good-value ramen shop near Konkuk Univ. Station, I'd recommend Sonoki Ramen. Besides Sonoki Ramen there's miso ramen, mazemen and rice bowls, plus set menus, so I imagine it's popular with students around Konkuk Univ. It was a good candidate to keep in mind whenever you're craving ramen in the area! ## Where it is - Sonoki Ramen Konkuk Univ. main branch (소노키라멘 건대본점) - 88 Dongil-ro 20-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 동일로20길 88 2층(자양동) - 37.539931, 127.0683747 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EB%85%B8%ED%82%A4%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98%20%EA%B1%B4%EB%8C%80%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.539931,127.0683747,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@block-dish-seoul/kondae-rainy-day-sonoki-ramen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
