The writer shared seafood yaki udon, shrimp yosenabe, and cream ebi mayo with a draft beer and a bottled beer, and the unanimous favorite was the seafood yaki udon.

We wanted to catch up over some good food, so we picked Momiji, an izakaya near Seolleung Station known for its private rooms — and went to check it out. ![Interior of Momiji Seolleung Branch, made up entirely of private rooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-02-1q6cn-966.webp) - Momiji's private rooms - Seafood yaki udon - A soup dish: shrimp nabe - Cream ebi mayo ## Every seat a private room, and windows you can actually open It was a bit hot out that day, and we arrived early to wait in the cool of our room. We thought about waiting near the subway station, but sitting down was much more comfortable! I liked that each room has its own AC control, so you can adjust the temperature. We had a window seat, and being able to open and close the window added a fun little detail — it changed the mood a bit too. ![Draft beer and bottled beer ordered in a window-side room](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-03-cpomf-966.webp) We ordered one draft beer and one bottled beer to start, plus three side dishes. ## Seafood yaki udon: the unanimous favorite The seafood yaki udon arrived first, and it was our top pick — unanimously! This is it! It's soy-sauce based with seafood mixed in, especially plump shrimp and crunchy bok choy, plus chewy mushrooms rounding it out nicely. We ordered it thinking of it as our meal, and it hit the spot perfectly. I bet it would be great mixed with rice in the sauce too. ![A plate of soy-sauce-based seafood yaki udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-04-1p1z8-966.webp) ## A soup dish: shrimp yosenabe Still, if you're at an izakaya you need at least one soup dish, right? So we ordered the shrimp nabe (hot pot) — a dish you simmer bubbling away as you eat. ![A simmering pot of shrimp yosenabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-05-14dxq-1200.webp) It's a soup dish with shrimp, mussels, tofu, and more. The spicy broth was solid! The shrimp were plump, and fresh mushrooms and vegetables added a refreshing touch. ![Nabe broth with shrimp, mussels, and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-06-6psev-966.webp) If you're the type who needs a soup on the table, shrimp yosenabe is a good call! ![Close-up of the bubbling shrimp nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-07-1vv7k-966.webp) ![Whole shrimp taken out of the nabe onto a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-08-11spr-966.webp) Pro tip: take the shrimp out onto a plate first and peel them before eating — it's worth the effort, so don't skip it. ![A plate of peeled shrimp from the nabe, ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-09-1l2b6-966.webp) ## Cream ebi mayo — didn't expect it to be this crispy Last up was the cream ebi mayo. I love shrimp, so I ended up picking two shrimp dishes. I heard Momiji's side dishes are exactly the 'tteuyeon style,' haha. Honestly, this isn't even a Chinese restaurant so I wasn't expecting much — but how is it allowed to be this crispy and delicious? ![Crispy fried cream ebi mayo](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-10-1v3ui-966.webp) The shrimp were battered and fried until crispy — great texture — and dipping them in the mayo sauce made it even better. I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm all about the side dishes, so I ate seriously. We were already full from the earlier dishes, but somehow I just kept eating more. ![Fried shrimp being dipped into mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-11-3giop-966.webp) ## Good for a work dinner or a group gathering? Momiji near Seolleung Station has private rooms throughout, so it never felt crowded. And best of all, you don't have to overhear anyone else's conversation — very satisfying! ![A private room at Momiji Seolleung Branch suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-12-13ffn-966.webp) There are larger rooms too, so it could work well for a department dinner or a group meetup. The staff were kind and the food was tasty, so I'd happily come back. Oh, and since it's all private rooms, it's popular — booking ahead is a good idea. It was a Thursday evening and the place was nearly full. ![Photo showing the location of Momiji Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya-13-1axki-966.webp) Here's the location of Momiji near Seolleung Station. Since the dishes came out one at a time, I couldn't get a full spread shot — a bit of a shame, but that's the trade-off for eating everything warm and fresh! ## Where it is - Momiji Seolleung Branch (모미지 선릉점) - 43 Samseong-ro 85-gil, 3F, Unit 1, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 삼성로85길 43 3층 1호 - 37.5041783, 127.0539162 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5041783,127.0539162,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@four-o-clock-bowl/momiji-seolleung-private-room-izakaya/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
