Two friends, one arriving by car, each ordered the cold soba and fillet (hire) katsu set (₩19,500) for lunch and enjoyed the tender fillet katsu with wasabi, the generous cold soba, the salad and the side dishes. With its own parking lot, Riae Premium is a good lunch spot near Olympic Park when someone in your group is driving. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul (between Dunchondong Station and Olympic Park Station) - **Parking**: Private parking lot, free for customers arriving by car - **Hours**: 11 am–8 pm, break time 3–4 pm - **Ordering**: Kiosk at every table, pay at your seat - **Seating**: Tables for 2–4 and tables for solo diners - **Cold soba and fillet (hire) katsu set**: ₩19,500 - **Premium special loin (rosu) katsu**: ₩22,500 - **Filet mignon fillet (hire) katsu**: ₩19,000 - **Fish katsu**: ₩19,500 - **Tokyo spice fillet (hire) curry**: ₩17,500 - **Tokyo spice ebi (one shrimp) curry**: ₩17,500 - **Price reference**: ₩19,500 ≈ $14.5 · ₩22,500 ≈ $17 · ₩19,000 ≈ $14 (2026-10-11) *as written by the visitor on Jul 18, 2026* If you're hunting for a good spot near Olympic Park, especially for lunch, I have a place I can recommend wholeheartedly: Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch :) Here's my review of a lunch for two that left us totally satisfied. ## Where is Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch, and what about parking? ![Directions to Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-01-17f4u-900.webp) The address is 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, 1st floor, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, close to Olympic Park. By subway it sits between Dunchondong Station and Olympic Park Station, so keep that in mind if you're walking. There's a dedicated parking lot, so driving customers can park for free :) (The Naver Place listing explains this in detail too. Nice!) It's open 11 am to 8 pm, with break time from 3 to 4 pm. ## Solo seats too? The atmosphere inside ![Tables inside Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-02-n7rrh-900.webp) ![Solo seats and atmosphere inside Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-03-22n98-900.webp) There are tables for 2 to 4 people, and also tables well suited to solo diners. After I took my interior photos, a few people came in to eat on their own. Great tables, thumbs up! On top of that, the staff were friendly, so the whole time from walking in to heading out after lunch left a good memory, hehe. ## Riae Premium menu, prices and how to order Every seat has its own kiosk, so you can browse and order at your own pace. You can even pay at your seat, which is so convenient! ![Seat kiosk menu screen at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-04-hkv4y-900.webp) ![Riae Premium katsu and curry menu prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-05-rwl4x-900.webp) - Cold soba and fillet (hire) katsu set ₩19,500 - Premium special loin (ros) katsu ₩22,500 - Filet mignon fillet (hire) katsu ₩19,000 - Fish katsu ₩19,500 - Tokyo spice fillet (hire) curry ₩17,500 - Tokyo spice ebi (shrimp, 1 piece) curry ₩17,500 - Other menu items That's the rough menu and price range.

Let me show you up close :) ![Plate of fillet katsu at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-08-e66qn-900.webp) ![Fillet (hire) katsu in the cold soba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-09-1y4bn-900.webp) ![Close-up of Riae Premium fillet katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-10-127qa-900.webp) ### How is the fillet katsu? Crisp outside, juicy inside, tender meat Katsu (breaded pork cutlet) is the main act at Riae Premium, so it was the thing I was most excited about! If you like crisp outside and juicy inside (honestly, who doesn't..), there's no way you'd call Riae Premium's fillet katsu bad T.T The meat was so tender and delicious!!! Plain, mild loin is good too, but eating tender fillet with soba made me feel I'd found a great Seongnae-dong restaurant, heh heh. ![A piece of tender fillet katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-11-1a5bc-900.webp) ![Eating fillet katsu together with cold soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-12-bxi69-900.webp) ### Katsu with sauce and wasabi To eat with the katsu at Riae Premium, you mainly have sauce and wasabi. ![Sauce to go with the katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-13-1ydbf-900.webp) ![Wasabi to go with the katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-14-1a0xb-900.webp) Each has its own charm and both are tasty, so enjoy them as much as you like ^.^ The sauce was good, but the wasabi especially made me feel this is a proper place, and I kept saying how good it was. Wow.....!! ![Bowl of cold soba at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-15-k0lus-900.webp) ![Chilled soba noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-16-1w37k-900.webp) ![A generous bite of cold soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-17-ww7t6-900.webp) ### Cold soba perfect for summer, with a generous portion It's July, midsummer, humid and hot, so there are plenty of times you crave something cold. Riae Premium's cold soba is full of zesty, refreshing flavor, and the portion is big enough to leave you full. It paired nicely with the katsu :) ![Bowl of salad served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-18-sran7-900.webp) ![Bowl filled to the brim with salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-19-ezn3d-900.webp) ### A bowl full of salad, plus side dishes The set's salad also comes in a heaping bowl, so I happily ate it for my health. Of course it tasted good too. Light and nice~! ![Side dishes served with the Riae Premium set](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-20-6zm2i-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with the Japanese set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-21-178f8-900.webp) ![Side dish lineup of the cold soba and fillet set](https://img.superchart.com/images/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set-22-f9ian-900.webp) The side dishes, which suit Japanese food perfectly, were each delicious too, and there wasn't one I skipped! Two mains, salad and sides were all great, so this Olympic Park spot left us thoroughly satisfied. ## If you're meeting a friend who drives I was meeting a friend who comes by car, so I looked for a place near Olympic Park ("Olgong") with parking and ended up at Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch. TMI, but... as we were leaving, it turned out the people at the next table were acquaintances of my friend! I guess everyone searches for a good Seongnae-dong restaurant. So if you're stuck on what to have for lunch, I hope you'll give Riae Premium a try. ## Where it is - Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch (리애 프리미엄 올림픽공원직영점) - 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor, Unit 1-1) - 서울특별시 강동구 성내로18길 46 1층 1-1호 - 37.5250204, 127.1280784 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A6%AC%EC%95%A0%20%ED%94%84%EB%A6%AC%EB%AF%B8%EC%97%84%20%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%BC%ED%94%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%9B%90%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5250204,127.1280784,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-notes/olympic-park-lieae-cold-soba-hire-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
