A married couple came in for lunch after their morning work and ordered the toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu with added karaage at 16,800 won and the signature basil soba at 12,900 won, then promised a return visit for the spicy cream sauce and the green fresh noodles. If you like basil, the basil soba at Gosh Gosh is the one dish to order. ## Good to know - **Location**: Exit 4, Seoul National University Station; 1st floor of the Egg Yellow building - **Toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu (with added karaage)**: 16,800 won - **Basil soba**: 12,900 won - **How to order**: Kiosk at every table - **Seating**: Long, deep interior with many tables; plenty of solo diners - **Price reference**: ₩12,900 ≈ $9.5 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* A coworker recently asked me if I liked basil and told me about a restaurant that really nails basil dishes — that's how Gosh Gosh got stuck in my head. My husband and I finished up work in the morning and went, and I'm writing this review as a place I'm ★definitely coming back to, over and over★. ![Exterior of Gosh Gosh near Seoul National University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-01-ib9du-1200.webp) *Found a great spot near Seoul National University Station* ## Where is Gosh Gosh by Seoul National University Station, and what is the space like? Gosh Gosh is right at Exit 4 of Seoul National University Station, on the 1st floor of the Egg Yellow building, so it's super easy to find. Once you walk in, the space goes back much deeper than it looks from outside, and there are quite a lot of tables.👏 The seating is arranged well, so I saw all kinds of people, young and old, eating solo! (It's a really good spot for eating alone.) ![Interior seating view at Gosh Gosh](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-02-tk3hr-733.webp) *Gosh Gosh has a cozy, quiet atmosphere* ![Rows of tables in the back of Gosh Gosh](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-03-1yxoy-817.webp) *From students to seniors, all ages visit this place* We sat near the entrance where the natural light was great. I was really, really into the green chopsticks and the just-right-sized spoon.🤍 ![Table set with green chopsticks and a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-04-1lnl1-779.webp) *Detail: I was moved by the size of the spoon.* ## Ordering at the table kiosk: what the couple got and what it cost You can order right away at the kiosk on each table. The menu descriptions were well written, so it was easy to take your time browsing and choosing.😊 ![Gosh Gosh kiosk screen with menu descriptions](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-05-1f862-856.webp) ![Order kiosk installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-06-z5q8m-900.webp) *A kiosk is installed at every table* - Toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu (+ added karaage) ₩16,800 - Basil soba ₩12,900 ![Kiosk order summary showing toowoomba tonkatsu and basil soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-07-17hy5-774.webp) *Our order, on the kiosk screen* Right at that hungry lunchtime slot. We ordered and kept glancing around wondering when it would come out.🥹🥹 ![Empty table while waiting for food](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-08-1ikyb-810.webp) *When will it arrive? So excited* First, take a look at the whole spread — 👏👏 ![Toowoomba tonkatsu and basil soba laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-09-1oj0o-900.webp) *The full spread* ## How does the toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu with karaage taste? The toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu came out first, and it was really delicious. I immediately thought, I have to come back for this-!🙌 ![Plate of toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu topped with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-10-2eq4s-793.webp) *There's a reason it's known for tonkatsu.👍* It's subtly spicy, and with the cream in it, personally it gave off curry vibes too! (I wish they sold the sauce separately...ㅠㅠㅠㅠ) ![Toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu drizzled with cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-11-12ndz-863.webp) *Gosh Gosh: Toowoomba demi-glace tonkatsu* The tonkatsu's breading was crispy too, and the meat thickness was just right. It's frustrating that photos can't fully capture it~~🔥 ![Cross-section of crispy tonkatsu breading](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-12-97ahm-850.webp) We dipped the added karaage generously into the sauce and enjoyed every bite.💖 ![Piece of karaage dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-13-1cdh8-794.webp) This is the toowoomba tonkatsu with karaage. It feels like Gosh Gosh's own special sauce, not something you can easily find elsewhere. ![Tonkatsu and karaage topped with toowoomba sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-14-q54tu-576.webp) ![Close-up of Gosh Gosh's special sauce and karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-15-15h9k-629.webp) After a spread like this, we felt full and satisfied all the way through dinner. 😊 ![Nearly finished plate of tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-16-1fsb0-791.webp) ## Is the signature basil soba at Gosh Gosh for everyone? Gosh Gosh's signature dish is the basil soba, ₩12,900. It's introduced as [SIGNATURE] a fantastic meeting of fresh noodles at a golden ratio developed over 3 years of research, and basil🌿 — and it really lives up to that. ![Green fresh noodles of Gosh Gosh's basil soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-17-1wmlz-797.webp) *Gosh Gosh: Basil soba* I'd been really, really curious about this basil soba-! I'd read reviews saying it's a love-it-or-hate-it dish so I hesitated a bit, but for my taste it was a total 'yes yes yes yes yes yes.'🌿 ![Basil soba topped with scallions and egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-18-1f6gg-900.webp) *A strangely addictive basil soba* I usually love basil pesto, and the chopped scallions on top were so fragrant that it felt like eating a genuinely healthy meal. ![Scallions and egg yolk on top of basil soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-19-1v5ns-880.webp) ![Green fresh noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-20-16azf-900.webp) I really love a runny egg, so I mixed just the top part in and ate it nice and rich. (My personal taste.) Because the noodles are green, the first bite or two had me thinking 'huh? what flavor is this?' — but strangely, by the third bite I was just inhaling it..! ![Close-up of mixed basil soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-21-rtadv-900.webp) ![Basil soba served with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-22-miixz-870.webp) Partway through it felt a little bland, so I added the wasabi that came with it, and — oh, that's a whole different flavor!!! — I ended up enjoying it all the way to the end.😊 ![Cup of warm noodle water](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-23-r9fys-900.webp) *Detail: perfectly seasoned warm noodle water* ## The small details, right down to the hot noodle water The warm water that came with the meal seemed to be noodle water, and it wasn't bland at all — warm and just right to sip between bites :) It made me feel like Gosh Gosh pays attention down to the smallest details.👍💯 ![Table at Gosh Gosh after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu-24-vzg9m-900.webp) *We already decided to come back to Gosh Gosh* A tonkatsu favorite in Sharosu-gil — "Gosh Gosh" ## Where it is - Gosh Gosh Seoul National University Station branch (고시고시 서울대입구역본점) - 1052, 1st floor, Egg Yellow, 1820 Nambusunhwan-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 관악구 남부순환로 1820 에그옐로우 1층 1052호 - 37.4811436, 126.9520229 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EC%8B%9C%EA%B3%A0%EC%8B%9C%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EB%8C%80%EC%9E%85%EA%B5%AC%EC%97%AD%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4811436,126.9520229,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@huam-low-shelf/gosigosi-basil-soba-toowoomba-donkatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
