The Summer Romance (9,000 won) arrives with its bottom half frozen, and following the owner's advice to drink the top first and pour the frozen bottom later gives two flavors from one glass; the table also included a blueberry sour ale (8,500 won), cheese and pepperoni slice pizzas, and boneless old-style seasoned fried chicken (22,900 won). That chicken, crisp outside and juicy inside under a sweet-and-salty glaze, was the top pick of the day at Raymond Isu Branch. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:30–23:00 (last order 22:30) - **Pets**: Allowed - **Corkage**: Not allowed - **Reservations**: Available (Naver Place) - **Parking**: Not available (alternative parking at Isu Xi Apartment) - **Location**: 1 minute on foot from Isu Station, on the main road - **Summer Romance**: 9,000 won - **Blueberry sour ale**: 8,500 won - **Cheese pizza (slice)**: 6,500 won - **Pepperoni pizza (slice)**: 7,800 won - **Boneless old-style seasoned fried chicken**: 22,900 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Today I'm sharing my visit to Raymond Isu Branch, a pizza-and-beer spot near Isu Station! ## Raymond Isu Branch hours, parking and basics - Hours: Mon–Sun 11:30–23:00 (last order 22:30) - Pets allowed - Corkage: not allowed - Reservations: available (Naver Place) - Parking: not available (alternative parking at Isu Xi Apartment) ## How long is the walk from Isu Station to Raymond?

Looked so unique, and the flavor description sounded impossible to pass up, so I ordered it haha. A beer with the sweetness of peach and the tangy-sweetness of passion fruit? Couldn't resist, ordered it right away haha. Beers with peach and passion fruit aroma aren't common, so I was so curious ❤️ ![Beer menu describing the blueberry sour ale](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-05-orglm-900.webp) There were also tons of pizza options, and pepperoni pizza seemed to be the bestseller, so I ordered that too! ![Pizza menu page at Raymond Isu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-06-l2hxl-900.webp) Here's what we ordered! - Summer Romance (₩9,000) - Cheese pizza (slice) (₩6,500) - Pepperoni pizza (slice) (₩7,800) - Boneless old-style seasoned fried chicken (₩22,900) - Blueberry sour ale (₩8,500) ## Summer Romance (9,000 won): drink the top first, pour the frozen bottom later ![First glass of Summer Romance beer served](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-07-1j3k1-900.webp) The Summer Romance came out first! The owner said the bottom half was frozen, so I should pour and drink the top part first, then pour the bottom part later haha. ![Glass of Summer Romance after drinking the top portion](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-08-1d0gj-900.webp) Following the owner's advice, I could really taste the difference between the top and bottom! The bottom part was more tart and concentrated. It was so nice getting two new flavors out of one beer haha. ## Blueberry sour ale (8,500 won): how it tastes ![Vividly colored blueberry sour ale](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-09-1fc3w-900.webp) Next up, the blueberry sour ale! Isn't the color gorgeous, so pretty haha. The refreshing acidity, the subtle sweetness of blueberry, and the light carbonation all came together so nicely haha. ## Boneless old-style seasoned fried chicken (22,900 won): the day's top pick ![Plate of boneless old-style seasoned fried chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond/isu-station-pizza-beer-summer-romance-raymond-10-er6eo-900.webp) This is my top pick of the day ❤️ If you visit Raymond Isu Branch, I definitely recommend ordering the boneless seasoned chicken!
