Gangnam ramen restaurant, cilantro topping on a weekend date: Oreno
In short
Oreno Ramen Gangnam is a chicken-broth ramen restaurant on the second floor of the Tteokdorithang building, a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 12 in Seoul. On a weekend afternoon at 1:30pm, the writer waited 10 minutes with her boyfriend, ordered one tori paitan and one kara paitan, and added the cilantro that comes as a side dish straight into the ramen. With free refills on noodles (half or full), broth, rice and kimchi, Oreno Ramen Gangnam was worth the wait.

Selected as a Michelin pick for 8 years running..?! With that kind of reputation, of course I got excited 😍 While waiting, a couple who'd just finished eating walked out saying

















Wait, sorry, let me redo that properly.
