6pm ramen dinner in Gwangjin: spicy shoyu and takoyaki at Mentsuru
Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch is a Japanese ramen restaurant on Gwangnaru-ro in Gwangjin, Seoul, about 57m from Exit 4 of Children's Grand Park Station. At a 6pm visit, the order placed by table tablet was spicy shoyu ramen, gyudon (beef rice bowl) and takoyaki, and alternating the sharp broth with the sweet-savory beef bowl worked well, with the takoyaki the unexpected highlight. With single seats alongside regular tables, Mentsuru is an easy pick for solo diners near Konkuk University.
