Songridan-gil couple's ramen dinner, mild vs spicy: Cocker Noodle Two

My husband and I visited Cocker Noodle Two, tucked in a Songridan-gil alley, on a weekday evening. It's a Korean ramen restaurant that pours a clear broth made from Korean beef and chicken bones over chicken toppings. We tried the chicken char siu ramen and the spicy ramen, and unlike Japanese ramen, it wasn't greasy or heavy — I liked that I could eat it cleanly from start to finish.

I preferred the spicy, kick-of-heat ramen, while my husband thought the plain chicken char siu ramen tasted better — our tastes split pretty clearly haha 😆 Along with the karaage we ordered, it was all satisfying. Let me introduce Cocker Noodle Two 🍜🍜🍜

Where is Cocker Noodle Two and how do you park?

Cocker Noodle Two is about a 5-minute walk from Songpanaru Station Exit 4, in a Songridan-gil alley (3 Baekjegobun-ro 44-gil, 1st floor, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea). There's no parking in front of the restaurant, so if you're driving, you'll need to use a nearby public lot.

It's also convenient by public transit and a good stop before or after a walk around Seokchon Lake. I walked over from Seokchon Station and got there in no time!

I've often used the Songpa Neighborhood Park public parking lot connected to the Songpa Women's Culture Center whenever I come to Songridan-gil. It runs 24 hours and charges a relatively cheap ₩150 per 5 minutes, or ₩1,800 per hour — a good pick if you need parking near Songridan-gil.

Cocker Noodle Two's exterior and hours

Cocker Noodle Two's green door and cute chicken character stood out, so I had no trouble finding it even at night. The sign, windows and posters were all covered in the chicken character, making the shop's concept unmistakable 🐔🐔🐔

Is the inside of Cocker Noodle Two spacious? Good for solo diners or families?

The inside of Cocker Noodle Two was deeper and had more tables than it looked from outside — bigger than expected. With a variety of 2-top and 4-top tables, it works for solo diners, dates, or group meals alike. And yes, baby chairs are available, so families are welcome too!

White walls, green tiles and mismatched chair designs gave it a bright, casual feel. Various chicken-themed drawings and posters were scattered around the shop, and it was fun checking them out one by one 🐔🐔🐔

We sat at a 2-top. Each table had its own kiosk, so we could take our time browsing the menu and order comfortably from our seats. I also liked that the water was plain bottled water :)

What's on the menu at Cocker Noodle Two?

Cocker Noodle Two serves Korean ramen made with a broth of simmered Korean beef and chicken bones, seasoned with a special sauce. It sits somewhere between dak-kalguksu (chicken knife-cut noodle soup) and ramen, and you can choose from various chicken toppings including chicken char siu, whole chicken leg, and chicken steak.

Besides the plain chicken char siu ramen, there was spicy, bibim (mixed), and mala ramen, plus a set menu that comes with ramen and chive jjimdak (braised chicken with chives).

Apparently if you write a Naver review event post, you get a free whole chicken leg topping, so don't miss out on that 😊

What did two people order, and for how much?

My husband and I ordered two bowls of ramen, karaage, and a cider, which came to ₩30,500 total.

• Chicken char siu ramen ₩11,500
• Chicken char siu spicy ramen ₩12,000
• Karaage ₩5,000
• Cider ₩2,000
• Total ₩30,500

At first we debated getting the set menu, but we were craving karaage that day, so we ordered the two ramens and karaage à la carte. When ordering, you can also choose between thin or thick noodles depending on your preference — we both went with thick noodles since we wanted that chewy texture!

The side dishes were kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) and garlic scape namul (seasoned side dish), and maybe because of the Korean-style ramen flavor, both paired really well with it. The garlic scape namul especially hit the spot for me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

How does the chicken char siu ramen taste? My husband's top pick

Cocker Noodle Two's plain chicken char siu ramen (₩11,500) came piled generously with golden-grilled chicken char siu, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, chamnamul (wild herb), scallions, and a quail egg over a clear broth. This was the dish my husband said he liked better.

The chicken char siu had a subtle smoky flavor and was moist and tender — a different, lighter charm from pork char siu, and it paired well with the clean broth.

The thick noodles we chose were plumper and chewier than typical ramen noodles, almost giving off dak-kalguksu vibes. Combined with the crunch of the bean sprouts and chamnamul and the slightly crisp wood ear mushrooms, we got to enjoy a variety of textures in one bowl.

Above all, since it's a clear broth made with chicken, it wasn't greasy or heavy like Japanese ramen, so I could finish the broth down to the last drop without any guilt. My husband liked that the plain chicken char siu ramen wasn't too intense and let the clean flavor of the broth really come through 🧡 I think it would suit older diners' palates well too!

Is the chicken char siu spicy ramen very spicy?

Cocker Noodle Two's chicken char siu spicy ramen (₩12,000) has similar toppings to the plain ramen but comes with a red, kick-of-heat broth — spicy, yet still retaining the clean chicken broth flavor so it wasn't overly intense. This was the dish I ordered, and it looked appetizing from the moment it arrived.

The broth had spice but still kept the distinct cleanness of chicken broth, so it wasn't murky or overwhelming. The thick noodles soaked up the spicy broth nicely, making it great to eat the noodles and broth together.

Topping the moist chicken char siu with bean sprouts and chamnamul added a crunchy, fragrant note that kept the rich broth from getting tiring. If the plain ramen is clean and comforting, the spicy ramen has a sharper, more addictive edge thanks to the heat! As someone who loves spicy food, the spicy ramen was my clear top pick without a second thought 😆👍🏻

Is the karaage worth ordering on the side?

Cocker Noodle Two's karaage (₩5,000) is bite-sized chicken fried to a golden brown — crispy outside, moist inside. Eating it fresh and warm, you could really taste the savory flavor and the chicken's juiciness.

The clean ramen alone was filling enough, but adding the crispy karaage in between changed up the texture, and I was glad we ordered it haha. The set menu looked like decent value too, but if you love karaage like we do, ordering it à la carte alongside the ramen is also a great combo.

Who would I recommend Cocker Noodle Two to?

Cocker Noodle Two is a Korean ramen restaurant in Songridan-gil where the chicken toppings and clear broth worked beautifully together. Thanks to the chicken-based broth, it had less of the greasy, heavy quality typical of Japanese ramen, and I could eat it cleanly from start to finish.

My husband, who likes mild flavors, picked the chicken char siu ramen, while I, who likes a spicy kick, picked the spicy ramen as my favorite — so you can just choose based on your own taste haha. The restaurant is also bigger than it looks, and with a kiosk at every table, I'd recommend it for solo dining or dates too! If you're looking for a non-greasy ramen spot near Songridan-gil or Seokchon Lake, it might be worth visiting Cocker Noodle Two for Korean ramen topped with chicken :)
