Arriving alone at 2pm on a weekday, the writer was seated at a 4-person table with no wait and ordered chirashi-style salmon sushi (12,900 won) and Korean-style gureume ramen (9,900 won), whose spicy broth cut through the richness of the sushi. With a bar counter plus aprons, hair ties and phone stands, Hongdae Gureume suits solo diners and dates alike. ## Good to know - **Address**: Unit 202, 2F Iflex Building, 17 Nongogae-ro 123beon-gil, Namdong-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:30 (last order 21:00) - **Parking**: Iflex Building underground parking; 2 hours free when registered at the restaurant - **Location**: 1-minute walk from Nonhyeon Station, Incheon - **Chirashi-style salmon sushi**: 12,900 won - **Korean-style gureume ramen**: 9,900 won - **Promotions**: Receipt review: choice of a drink, salmon sushi (2 pieces) or takoyaki (4 pieces); spend 30,000 won or more for a prize draw *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![Incheon Nonhyeon Japanese restaurant Hongdae Gureume main image](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-01-c5g61-1200.webp) > Good for solo dining or a date — > a walk-to Fukuoka > in Incheon Nonhyeon > Hongdae Gureume Today I'm bringing you a review of Hongdae Gureume, a Japanese restaurant that has held its spot in Incheon Nonhyeon for 10 years.

This Incheon Nonhyeon favorite sits just a 1-minute walk from Nonhyeon Station, making it easy to reach, and Megabox, Soraepogu, and Neulsolgil Sheep Farm are all nearby, so it's a good stop after an outing. ### Parking at the Iflex Building You can park in the Iflex underground lot.

The 4-person tables are spaced out comfortably, so it looks great for families or dates. ![Bar table seating for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-05-1yyap-m-900.webp) There's also a separate bar table set up for solo diners. It felt like a comfortable spot to eat without worrying about anyone's stares. ![Waiting seats used during busy periods](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-06-1wvk8-900.webp) As you'd expect from a popular Incheon Nonhyeon lunch spot, there's quite a bit of waiting during peak times, and there are separate seats set aside for waiting when that happens. I visited alone on a weekday around 2pm and got a relaxed 4-person table without any wait at all. ![Phone stand placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-07-dm0ek-900.webp) ![Apron and hair tie provided at each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-08-1k2aj-900.webp) ![Baby chair available at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-09-1bbpf-900.webp) What made me feel this place really cares about guests was that every table had a phone stand, an apron, and a hair tie. There are even baby chairs available. ## What is on the menu at Hongdae Gureume? ![Hongdae Gureume menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-10-71bmi-900.webp) ![Menu board showing ramen options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-11-12eor-900.webp) ![Menu board showing sushi options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-12-1yfet-900.webp) ![Menu board showing pork katsu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-13-gav1i-900.webp) ![Menu board showing cold soba and noodle dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-14-5p0az-900.webp) ![Menu board explaining single dish vs. full set options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-15-1qt5b-900.webp) ![Menu board showing side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-16-10o36-900.webp) Hongdae Gureume's menu is genuinely wide-ranging — ramen, cold soba, chirashi-style sushi, pork katsu and more. Most items come as a single dish or as a full set, which is a real plus since you can mix and match to your taste. ![Table set with the ordered chirashi salmon sushi and gureume ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-17-g3cef-900.webp) After some deliberation, I ordered the chirashi-style salmon sushi and the Korean-style gureume ramen, both as single dishes! (Yeah... I was really hungry that day.) ![A bowl of chirashi-style salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-18-v3w4s-900.webp) ## Chirashi-style salmon sushi, 12,900 won Often called chirashi sushi, this dish comes with the soy sauce served separately rather than mixed in, so you pour it yourself. First off, the salmon looked really good quality. ![Onion and flying fish roe on top of the salmon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-19-ar5ah-900.webp) Scooping up the salmon together with the onion, sauce, and flying fish roe on top made the flavor so much richer. ![A spoonful of the chirashi-style sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-20-13f0y-900.webp) ## Korean-style gureume ramen, 9,900 won The ramen has a tonkotsu broth with Korean-style spicy sauce added, and the broth was so deep and spicy that it felt like a hangover cure even though I hadn't been drinking the night before. ![A bowl of Korean-style gureume ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-21-4xi6z-900.webp) I ordered it thinking the chirashi sushi might get a bit heavy after a while, and it was a great choice 👍 The crunch of the bean sprouts paired nicely with the thin noodles too. ![Ramen showing bean sprouts and thin noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-22-n515n-900.webp) ![Sign explaining the receipt review event at Hongdae Gureume](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-23-nu5pb-900.webp) ## Receipt review gift and prize draw Hongdae Gureume runs various special events! - Leave a receipt review for a choice of a drink, salmon sushi (2pcs), or takoyaki (4pcs) - Spend over ₩30,000 to enter the lucky draw — 1st prize is salmon sushi (5pcs), 2nd prize is a bowl of gureume ramen ![Sign explaining the lucky draw event for orders over ₩30,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch/hongdae-gurume-incheon-nonhyeon-solo-lunch-24-udc8u-m-900.webp) ## Is Hongdae Gureume Incheon Nonhyeon Branch worth a visit?
