I tried the ₩16,000 char siu chicken rice with cucumber salad in its calm, cozy space, where the staff were kind and dining alone felt easy. Verdict: a satisfying, light lunch spot for a quiet solo meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: About 182 m from Exit 1 of Yeouinaru Station, on the left side of the second floor of Gongjak Shopping Center - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:00 AM–2:00 PM (lunch only) - **Closed**: Saturday and Sunday - **Ordered**: Char siu chicken rice, ₩16,000 - **Cilantro**: Can be omitted on request - **Sold out**: Singapore chicken rice half-and-half *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* I was looking for somewhere to eat alone in Yeouido and stopped by Jeongyun Kitchen (정윤 키친) because it looked quiet and cozy. ![Photo introducing a visit to Jeongyun Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-01-gx7v2-900.webp) Some restaurants make you feel oddly self-conscious when you go to eat alone, but this place did not have that kind of atmosphere, so I liked it from the moment I walked in haha. It also struck me as a good option for an office-worker lunch in Yeouido. ![Atmosphere at Jeongyun Kitchen, great for dining alone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-02-1chzq-900.webp) ## Finding Jeongyun Kitchen from Yeouinaru Station 📍 It is close to Yeouinaru Station. Jeongyun Kitchen is about 182 m from Exit 1 of Yeouinaru Station, so it is easy to get to. Go up to the second floor of Gongjak Shopping Center and head left—you will find it right away. ![Directions to Jeongyun Kitchen near Yeouinaru Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-03-tks2r-900.webp) It is open only for lunch, from 11 AM to 2 PM on weekdays, and is regularly closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Since its hours are limited, I recommend checking the time in advance if you are looking for lunch in Yeouido. ## How was the char siu chicken rice? I ordered the char siu chicken rice, ₩16,000. ![Ordered char siu chicken rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-04-ebpro-900.webp) It comes with chicken grilled and smoked in a special soy sauce-based sauce, aromatic rice, and chicken soup. ![Smoked chicken and aromatic rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-05-cddrc-1200.webp) ![Chicken rice served with chicken soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-06-13qbn-900.webp) It is a dish that includes cilantro, but you can ask to leave it out, so it should feel less daunting for anyone who cannot eat cilantro. The moment the food arrived, it looked so neat and beautifully presented! ![Char siu chicken rice with cilantro removable on request](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-07-1n3lz-900.webp) The chicken was tender and moist, with a gentle hint of that distinctive char siu flavor. The seasoning was not too intense, so it balanced well with the rice and did not feel heavy for lunch. ![Light char siu chicken rice meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-08-eacpu-900.webp) ## Why the cucumber salad is a good side The cucumber salad makes it even better. I ordered it as a side too: crisp cucumber in a sweet-tangy sauce with a slight kick. It was a bit like oi tangtangi, a smashed cucumber salad!! ![Sweet-tangy, mildly spicy cucumber salad side](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-09-jjnx9-900.webp) ![Cucumber salad served with chicken rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-10-1kyln-900.webp) Since the chicken rice is on the mild side, having the cucumber salad between bites really wakes up your palate lol. Personally, I was very glad I ordered them together. ![Combination of mild chicken rice and cucumber salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-11-waf9u-900.webp) ## A cozy space that was great for eating alone Such a cozy space for solo dining. The lighting and atmosphere were just so nice. ![Cozy atmosphere inside Jeongyun Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-12-163i8-900.webp) ![Comfortable interior atmosphere for visiting alone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-13-zgd8t-900.webp) Rather than feeling large and bustling, the space itself had a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, so visiting alone did not feel awkward at all. The staff were genuinely kind too, which somehow put me in an even better mood even though I had come to eat alone haha. It felt like a lovely place to visit on a day when you want a quiet lunch by yourself. ![Restaurant space for a quiet lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-14-2ejp1-900.webp) ![Relaxed interior of Jeongyun Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-15-1k2kd-900.webp) ### Come early for the half-and-half The Singapore chicken rice half-and-half was actually the dish I had been curious about before visiting, but unfortunately it was sold out that dayㅠㅠ It lets you try two kinds of chicken at once, so I definitely want to have it next time. ![Notice for sold-out Singapore chicken rice half-and-half](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-16-tf796-900.webp) It seems to be popular, so if the half-and-half is what you are after, I recommend coming a little early if possible! ## If you want a quiet solo lunch in Yeouido 💛 Recommended if you are looking for a solo meal in Yeouido. The food was neatly prepared, the space was cozy, and the staff were kind too, so I am leaving a very satisfied review. ![Jeongyun Kitchen recommended for solo dining in Yeouido](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-17-fluoc-900.webp) ![Neatly prepared food and a cozy space](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-18-d7itx-900.webp) I would especially recommend it if you are looking for lunch near The Hyundai Seoul and want something a little different, or if you can walk a little farther toward Yeouinaru instead of eating alone at The Hyundai. If you are an office worker wanting a delicious lunch in peace and quiet, stop by sometime. I am planning to return for the sold-out half-and-half next time haha. ![Closing photo from the Yeouinaru lunch visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-19-5w7vj-900.webp) ![Photo noting a future visit for the half-and-half](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch-20-ojx8l-900.webp) ## Where it is - Jeongyun Kitchen (정윤 키친) - Unit 206, 2F, 113 Yeouinaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 영등포구 여의나루로 113 2층 206호) - 서울특별시 영등포구 여의나루로 113 2층 206호 - 37.5260711, 126.9308061 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%9C%A4%20%ED%82%A4%EC%B9%9C/@37.5260711,126.9308061,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@familiar-bowl-record/yeouinaru-chicken-rice-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
