Hi everyone, it's Chocho! haha My wedding is now just 4 months away, and I've started setting up invitation meetups one by one~ I gave out my first invitation on Saturday! Trying to decide where to hold the meetup, I remembered how great my visit to Ciment Chungnam National University Branch was five years ago — the mood was so nice — so I went back there for the invitation gathering and had a delicious meal~~ Let me introduce this Gung-dong pasta spot, this Gung-dong Western restaurant, Ciment!! I'd been here five years ago, and I was so happy to see it still in the same spot!! So many restaurants close down these days, right!? But this place has held its ground! I think that's proof it's a real local favorite!! ## Ciment Chungnam National University Branch: parking and opening hours Ciment Chungnam National University Branch has one parking spot at the entrance behind the store. You can also park in the white-line zones in the Gung-dong alley, but since it's a university area, finding a spot can be really chaotic! Avoid yellow-line no-parking zones and sections with enforcement cameras! ![Exterior of Ciment Chungnam National University Branch on the Gung-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/cement-chungnam-univ-gungdong-pasta-visit/cement-chungnam-univ-gungdong-pasta-visit-01-i2qj2-926.webp) Hours are weekdays 10:40-21:40, last order 21:00, and Saturday-Sunday 11:00-21:40, last order 21:00. ![Business hours sign at Ciment Chungnam National University Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cement-chungnam-univ-gungdong-pasta-visit/cement-chungnam-univ-gungdong-pasta-visit-02-fy8db-1200.webp) This is a Gung-dong pasta and risotto favorite that opened in 2018 with the mission of feeding Chungnam National University students!!
