# Karai paitan milder than Shin Ramyun at an Eunpyeong ramen bar: Oreno - By Ginu (https://superchart.com/en/@closing-time-table/) - Written Sep 20, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Eunpyeong, Seoul - Sponsored: This article was written as part of a paid store visit sponsorship. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@closing-time-table/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@closing-time-table/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/index.md) ## In short Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is a chicken broth ramen restaurant on Bulgwangcheon-gil in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul. The tori paitan and the karai paitan (spicy) cost 13,000 won each, ordered at a self-service ticket machine and shared, and although the staff said the karai paitan was about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, it turned out milder. Soft chicken breast and free noodle or rice refills make Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong a solid pick for a rich, filling bowl. ## Good to know - **Address**: 366 Bulgwangcheon-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:30 (last order 20:00) - **Break time**: 14:30–17:00 - **Parking**: Room for about 2 cars beside the restaurant, or nearby public parking lots - **Tori paitan**: 13,000 won - **Karai paitan (spicy)**: 13,000 won - **Soft-boiled egg add-on**: 1,000 won - **Refills**: Free rice or noodle refill with one menu item per person - **Seating**: Bar counter wrapped around the kitchen, plus a table for four - **Ordering**: Self-service ticket machine *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* As the weather got a bit cooler I started craving hot broth and went looking for a good ramen place, so I visited Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong, a well-known ramen spot in Eunpyeong-gu !! ![Exterior of Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-01-1oakz-1200.webp) *Storefront* ## Where is Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong, and is there parking?

There's a bar table around the kitchen and a table that seats up to 4 people. ![Menu board listing tori paitan and karai paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-05-7quyp-900.webp) *Menu board* ## Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong menu and prices The menu at Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is simple !! Tori paitan is 13,000 won, karai paitan (spicy) is 13,000 won, and a soft-boiled egg add-on is 1,000 won. - Tori paitan: 13,000 - Karai paitan (spicy): 13,000 - Soft-boiled egg add-on: 1,000 We ordered both the tori paitan and the karai paitan ! ![Bar table seating around the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-06-1aigl-900.webp) ![Bar seats facing the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-07-u6q0t-900.webp) ## Bar counter seats and the open kitchen There's a bar table around the kitchen and also a table for 4. Since it's an open kitchen, if you sit at the bar you can watch the whole cooking process clearly. I peeked in and the kitchen was kept spotless, so I ate with peace of mind haha ![Table setting with tissues and side dish bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-08-b84s9-900.webp) ![Radish pickles and a glass cup on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-09-iya0j-900.webp) Every table has tissues, side dish bowls, a glass cup, radish pickles, and water. Easy to refill and everything was kept clean, which I really appreciated !! I care a lot about cleanliness haha ![Toasty-tasting water in a glass cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-10-9c60s-900.webp) ![Cup of water with a green-tea-like toasty flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-11-r00l7-900.webp) The water had a toasty flavor, kind of like green tea water. I really love that .. it feels like they put thought into even the water, so I sipped away happily while waiting for the food. ![Sign explaining free rice and noodle refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-12-n2hae-900.webp) ![In-store notice about refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-13-1b791-900.webp) ### Free rice and noodle refills, plus kimchi If you order one menu item per person, you get a free noodle or rice refill ! I figured I'd ask for a refill if the portion felt small lol Also, kimchi is only served if you ask, so if you want some, just tell the staff ~~ ![Notice about requesting kimchi, with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-14-slyqn-900.webp) ![Table setup before the ramen arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-15-t3wtd-900.webp) The two bowls of ramen arrived ! We ordered two different menus but honestly couldn't tell which was which ~~ lol The staff explained while serving and placed each bowl at the right seat haha At first I thought they'd brought the same dish twice because of all the foam lol ![Two bowls of ramen topped with foam, tori paitan and karai paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-16-xwjgj-900.webp) ## Tori paitan: how is the chicken breast this soft? The first thing we ate was the tori paitan (13,000 won) ! It's a deep bone broth loaded with all kinds of ingredients. ![Tori paitan topped with chicken breast and a soft-boiled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-17-pj2mw-900.webp) ![Tori paitan toppings of wood ear mushroom and scallion](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-18-1wx6k-900.webp) ![Noodles and rich chicken broth in the tori paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-19-md22b-900.webp) The toppings were wood ear mushrooms, scallions, chicken breast, and a soft-boiled egg. The wood ear mushrooms had a fun crunchy chew, and the chicken breast was ... the softest chicken breast I've ever had !!!!!!!! Actually most ramen has chashu pork, so I was surprised to see chicken breast instead, but it was so tender I was genuinely shocked ...!!! I usually prefer soft-boiled eggs over fully cooked ones, and this was exactly the yolk I love, so I really enjoyed it haha ![Red broth of karai paitan after the foam is skimmed off](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-20-1bork-900.webp) ## Is the karai paitan really as spicy as Shin Ramyun? Once you skim off the foam on the karai paitan, there's a red broth underneath. Staff said it's about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, but I thought it was milder than that haha ![Spicy karai paitan broth with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-21-5jb8t-900.webp) ![Karai paitan eaten with radish pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine-22-193k9-900.webp) Eating radish and kimchi in between refreshed my mouth and made the meal even tastier haha I actually wanted to get a refill too, but I finished the whole bowl and was too full lol ## A tip worth knowing before you go Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong uses an unmanned ticket machine ordering system, so it gave me the same feeling as ramen shops I visited on trips to Japan — a fun, different experience haha If you sit at the bar table you can watch the cooking process, so solo diners shouldn't get bored. Noodle or broth refills are free, so keep that in mind — big eaters can visit without worry. ## Final verdict on Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong If you're in Eunpyeong-gu looking for a rich, filling bowl of ramen, I'd recommend Oreno Ramen. My one small regret was that the toppings on the two menus were pretty similar, so I'd love to see a menu with more variety next time. Still, it's a great place to pair with a walk along Bulgwangcheon stream haha Since it's chicken-broth based, it's not greasy and eats clean, which was another plus. If you're passing by Saejeol Station and craving ramen, I'd recommend stopping in !! It's also perfect for anyone craving hot broth as the weather turns cooler. ## Where it is - Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong (오레노라멘 은평점) - 366 Bulgwangcheon-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 은평구 불광천길 366 - 37.5903473, 126.91437 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%A0%88%EB%85%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98%20%EC%9D%80%ED%8F%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5903473,126.91437,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@closing-time-table/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-kara-paitan-ticket-machine/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
