Eunam Station ramen restaurant with a lime highball: Oreno Ramen

Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is a chicken-broth ramen restaurant beside the Bulgwangcheon stream in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, a 3–4 minute walk from Exit 2 of Eunam Station. A lime highball cleared the palate before the signature tori paitan (13,000 won) and the spicy karai paitan arrived, their white and red broths appearing under a layer of foam, both as rich as long-simmered ox-bone stock. If you love a heavy broth, order the soft-boiled egg at Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong right from the start.

Jung-gu Chinese restaurant for mazangmyeon and spring rolls: Huhugwan

Huhugwan (후후관) City Hall branch is a modern Chinese restaurant in Seosomun, Jung-gu, Seoul, a short walk from City Hall Station and Deoksugung Palace. The summer-only mazangmyeon costs 13,000 won and arrived with side dishes plus complimentary freshly fried spring rolls and fried dumplings, the noodles piled with beef shank and wood ear mushroom in a thick peanut sauce. For a mild, easy-on-the-stomach Chinese bowl instead of fiery mala dishes, Huhugwan's mazangmyeon is worth trying before the end of September.
