Its rich, spicy broth, chewy beef intestines, and fire-grilled daechang rice bowl were even better with wasabi, chili peppers, and refillable yuzu pickles. Verdict: Mentsuru Euljiro Branch is a satisfying pick for a hearty Euljiro meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 (last order 21:00) - **Seating**: Bar seating and tables for 2 or 4 - **Motsu Ramen**: ₩15,000 - **Horumon-don**: ₩15,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* I’m usually a big fan of rich broths and tender offal dishes, so I had really wanted to visit Mentsuru Euljiro Branch, which is famously known for its motsu ramen (beef offal ramen)! I came away completely won over by the deeper-than-expected broth, chewy toppings without any unpleasant smell, and even the refreshing side dish. ![Signature ramen and rice bowl at Mentsuru Euljiro Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-01-1a5sq-1200.webp) ## Mentsuru Euljiro Branch: Practical Information ![Business information for Mentsuru Euljiro Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-02-52h2b-966.webp) Address: 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea Hours: Daily 11:00–21:30 (last order 21:00) Features: Bar seating ideal for solo diners, quick table turnover ## Kiosk Ordering and Entry ![Kiosk ordering area at the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-03-1bbbl-966.webp) ![Kiosk ordering guide at Mentsuru Euljiro Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-04-1iqh1-966.webp) - First, choose and pay for your menu at the kiosk right in front of the entrance. - The number on the receipt you receive after payment becomes your waiting number. - If there is a wait, wait outside briefly and you’ll be called in order. Because it’s a noodle restaurant, the turnover is fast, and a seat usually opens up within about 5–10 minutes! Since you finish ordering before sitting down, the food also arrives quickly once you’re seated. I was very happy with the system for a busy lunch or a meal after work. ## Seating for Solo Diners or Groups of Two to Three ![Open-kitchen counter bar seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-05-imyh5-966.webp) The restaurant has counter-bar seating facing the open kitchen, so it’s not at all intimidating for anyone enjoying a solo meal around Euljiro. ![Table seating inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-06-kr3zi-966.webp) There are also tables for two and four further inside, making it just right for a cozy meal with friends or a date. ## Our Motsu Ramen and Horumon-don ![Ramen menu screen on the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-07-b8m8p-966.webp) The kiosk screen is full of tempting choices, including shio ramen with a salt base, shoyu ramen with a soy-sauce base, rich chicken-broth tori paitan, and abura soba, an oil-tossed noodle dish. We ordered two signature dishes to try what Mentsuru does best! ![Ordered motsu ramen and horumon-don](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-08-6iafg-966.webp) - BEST Motsu Ramen (beef offal ramen): ₩15,000 - Horumon-don (daechang, or beef large intestine, rice bowl): ₩15,000 ## BEST Motsu Ramen with a Spicy Kick ### BEST Motsu Ramen (Beef Offal Ramen), ₩15,000 ![Motsu ramen in a retro bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-09-12usd-966.webp) The motsu ramen arrived overflowing in a retro bowl with an instantly striking look! The rich, spicy red broth was piled high with golden-grilled beef intestines and meat, crisp bean sprouts, finely chopped Cheongyang chili peppers, and scallions. ![Motsu ramen topped with beef intestines and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-10-1gtwj-966.webp) The beef intestines were full of fatty filling, so every chew was savory and delightfully springy. ![Motsu ramen noodles in rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-11-3aup7-966.webp) The noodles were wonderfully bouncy too, thoroughly coated in the spicy, rich broth. Along with the crisp bite of the bean sprouts, I kept marveling right through the last mouthful. ## Fire-Grilled Daechang and Wasabi in the Horumon-don ### Horumon-don (Daechang Rice Bowl), ₩15,000 ![Horumon-don topped with daechang and beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-12-1mnt3-966.webp) Neatly plated in a round bowl, the horumon-don came generously topped with fire-grilled seasoned daechang and thin-sliced beef brisket. A colorful egg yolk, scallions, wasabi, chili peppers, and red pickled ginger made it look perfect from the start. ![Horumon-don with egg yolk and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-13-c3ka3-966.webp) I broke the yolk and let it run over the daechang and rice, then added a little wasabi. The daechang, soaked with a special sweet-and-salty tare sauce, was crisp outside, moist inside, and explosively savory! ![Daechang rice bowl coated in tare sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-14-gmrux-966.webp) ![Horumon-don with wasabi and chili peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-15-1n4ye-966.webp) Adding pungent wasabi and fresh chili peppers here and there completely cut through any potential richness, so I scraped up every last grain of rice. ![상큼달달한 유자 단무지](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru-16-1hglq-966.webp) Even the pickled radish on the table was yuzu pickled radish, and its sweet-tangy flavor had me asking for refills again and again. ## For Spicy Ramen and a Daechang Rice Bowl Mentsuru Euljiro Branch was a dependable Euljiro ramen restaurant for rich broth, generous toppings, and distinctive ramen and rice bowls. I recommend it to anyone wanting a proper hangover-curing bowl of spicy, savory beef offal ramen; a clean Japanese restaurant near Euljiro 3-ga that’s comfortable for solo dining; or a chance to try a sweet-and-salty, fire-grilled daechang rice bowl. ## Where it is - Mentsuru Euljiro Branch (멘츠루 을지로점) - 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 마른내로2길 26 1층 - 37.5634193, 126.9916547 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%98%EC%B8%A0%EB%A3%A8%20%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.5634193,126.9916547,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@doorway-lunches/euljiro-gopchang-ramen-mentsuru/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
