Dangsan Station pizza pub for a friend catch-up: Long Time No See

I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in ages and we went to Long Time No See Dangsan Branch (롱타임노씨 당산점), a pizza pub near Dangsan Station. The side dish, ratbokki (spicy rice cakes with ramen noodles), was so good, the pizza was good too, and the range of drinks was huge!

Walk in from the main road and turn into the alley, and it's the second building.

The 1st floor is Owl Lodge (부엉이산장), and Long Time No See is up on the 2nd floor, haha.

This is the inside!! There are so many tables, and the place is huge! I wanted to photograph all of it, but it was quite full of customers, so I settled for the ceiling instead..haha

There are seats near the entrance and way further back too!!!! With so many tables and so much space, it's great for group reservations or for a gang of friends turning up together. Best of all, the tables are wide, so it felt comfortable and I loved that!

and then use the drink machine at the back!! I've been to a place like this before and found it convenient and nice. You put on the wristband that's on your table and tap it on the machine to use it.

Long Time No See Dangsan Branch menu and how to order

The menu at Long Time No See Dangsan Branch centers on pizza, with a variety of sides like pasta, chicken and ratbokki. You order right at your seat by tagging your phone on the table.

Here's the menu. So many tasty things that my friend and I agonized over it for ages, haha. Pizza plus pasta? Pizza plus chicken? Pizza plus ratbokki? (You have to order the pizza, because it's a pizza place, haha.)

You tag your phone on the table like this and can order from your seat, which was so, so convenient. Things keep getting easier these days, and I love it, sniff.

What two friends ordered

This is what the two of us ordered, and the portions were really big and generous.

• Half-and-half pizza x1
• Rosé ratbokki x1
• Sprite-style cider x1
• Coke Zero x1

And since popcorn comes as a default snack, it would be perfect with beer.

How did the rosé ratbokki and half-and-half pizza taste?

First to arrive were the cider and Coke Zero. (We're both lightweights, so we had soda, haha.) A must when you're eating pizza.

Rosé ratbokki plus pizza. The looks are top-notch.

How spicy is the rosé ratbokki?

The rosé ratbokki at Long Time No See Dangsan Branch is only a little spicier than Shin Ramyun or Jin Ramyun, the kind of spicy that keeps you reaching for more. It's milder than Buldak, so you can eat it without worry!!!!!!!

The spicy sauce soaked into the rice cakes, fish cake and ramen so well that it was delicious, and the tteokbokki handled the greasiness of the pizza nicely. I'm actually a huge tteokbokki lover, and ratbokki is my favorite of all, so if you like tteokbokki, definitely order it as a side!! It's a tteokbokki place in its own right. It tastes like pleasantly spicy ratbokki with a zesty hit of curry powder.

Steak and sweet potato half-and-half pizza with cheese crust

We ordered the pizza half-and-half in two flavors, steak and sweet potato. Of the two, the steak was more to my taste! (I generally like steak pizza.) We added a cheese crust to the pizza edge, and you absolutely have to add this. (Insanely good.)

Good things deserve another round. Parmesan cheese plus hot sauce, haha. The pizza dough was chewy, the cheese was nutty, and it was loaded with toppings. The pizza was so good.
