After a quick after-work meet-up with a friend, the writer sat solo at the bar table out front, waited 10-15 minutes for a busy kitchen, and finished a full plate of smoky teppan-fried yakisoba with 5 mentai gyoza dipped in mentai mayo sauce. A solid pick for solo Japanese food near Suwon Station. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 10:30-20:00 (closed Sep 25 for Chuseok) - **Parking**: First 30 min free, then ₩500 per 10 min - **Order wait**: About 10-15 minutes - **Ordered**: Yakisoba set (yakisoba + 5 mentai gyoza) - **Seating**: Bar table in front of the store and food hall seating - **Event**: Free soda with a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Today I stopped by Suwon Station to swap some stuff with a friend, and while I was there I finally tried Jojo, a Japanese restaurant I'd been curious about for ages — and ended up going solo for a yakisoba set! Jojo is also famous from Culinary Class Wars (the Netflix chef competition), so here's my honest review after actually trying it. ![Yakisoba set from Jojo at Suwon Station's AK Plaza, main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-01-azba4-1200.webp) - ⏰ Hours: 10:30-20:00 (closed Sep 25 for Chuseok) - 🚗 First 30 min free / ₩500 per 10 min after that ## Finding a solo dinner spot in the basement of Suwon Station's AK food hall ![Interior of the AK Plaza basement food hall at Suwon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-02-1ss7f-m-900.webp) After work I stopped by AK Food Hall at Suwon Station for a quick catch-up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while! She'd brought me a little gift, which made me so happy haha. Since it happened to be dinner time, I decided to just eat solo at the food hall while I was there. ![Jojo, a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant inside the food hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-03-j95zh-900.webp) While deciding what to eat, I remembered Jojo, a place run by a chef who appeared on Culinary Class Wars 2 — I'd been curious about it forever! It's a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant, and their main menu items are yakisoba and okonomiyaki, both of which I love. ![Yakisoba food model displayed at Jojo's counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-04-1rig7-900.webp) ![Order counter with an okonomiyaki food model](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-05-1x3xp-900.webp) At the counter they had these super tempting food models on display. Both the yakisoba and okonomiyaki looked great, so I had a hard time deciding what to order haha. ![Menu board at Jojo AK Plaza Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-06-1ycey-900.webp) ### Why I went with the yakisoba set This is the menu board at Jojo, the Japanese restaurant everyone talks about near Suwon Station. After going back and forth between yakisoba and okonomiyaki, I was in the mood for noodles that day, so I decided on the yakisoba set, which comes with savory yakisoba and mentai gyoza (pollack roe dumplings)! ![Bar table in front of the shop and food hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-07-8wodc-900.webp) I took a seat at the bar table right in front of the shop, but there's also seating set up nearby if you want to eat there — feel free to use that space too! ![Sign for the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-08-akaaf-900.webp) While waiting for my sizzling teppan dish to come together, I noticed they were also running a Naver receipt review event. They give you a free soda, which pairs perfectly with Japanese food, so it might be worth joining in too. ## The yakisoba set, plated after a 10-15 minute wait Jojo is apparently so popular at the Suwon AK Food Hall that orders were backed up, so they told me the wait would be about 10-15 minutes. I watched the chef cook right in front of me while waiting, and before long my yakisoba set arrived! It's a hearty solo-dining set with an appetizing plate of yakisoba plus a full 5 mentai gyoza. I started with the yakisoba, stir-fried hot on the teppan! The sauce soaked perfectly into the noodles — totally my style haha. ![A plate of yakisoba stir-fried on the teppan](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-09-6h60p-900.webp) ![Close-up of yakisoba noodles coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-10-13ozw-900.webp) The yakisoba was loaded with plenty of toppings too — cabbage, squid, pork belly, and more. Tasting it, it was nicely salty with that smoky teppan flavor — definitely a legit Suwon Station spot haha. Since I've mostly been eating Korean food lately, having Japanese food for a change made it taste even better. I dug in fast! ![Yakisoba showing cabbage, squid, and pork belly toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-11-1e77e-900.webp) ### Mentai gyoza: dip in the sauce, not filled with roe Next up, the mentai gyoza I'd been so curious about! From the name I assumed the roe would be inside the dumpling filling, but it's actually the opposite — you dip the gyoza into a mentai mayo sauce. ![Five gyoza served with mentai mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-12-6s4k6-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a gyoza dipped in mentai sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-13-mi5y1-900.webp) Dipping it generously in the mentai sauce, the saltiness of the roe pairs perfectly with the gyoza ❤️ The filling inside was hearty with meat, and juice ran out with every bite. It reminded me of the izakaya gyoza I had on a trip to Japan! So, so good ❤️ ![Empty plate after finishing the yakisoba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set/suwon-station-jojo-teppanyaki-yakisoba-set-14-ol5jv-900.webp) Between bites of yakisoba and gyoza, my plate was empty before I knew it hahaha. I wondered if the portion would be too much, but I finished the whole thing without any trouble haha. Had a really delicious solo Japanese meal near Suwon Station — such an enjoyable solo dining time. ## Wrapping up: solo Japanese dining at Suwon Station's Jojo I enjoyed a solo yakisoba set at Jojo AK Plaza, the Japanese restaurant everyone raves about near Suwon Station! The set comes with a hearty 5 pieces of mentai gyoza, and it's a menu I'd recommend for solo dining whenever you're craving Japanese food haha.
