Visiting on a weekday at 11:30am, the writer parked right in front of the shop and sat at the counter, ordering mild motsu ramen and rich gyedan ramen with tamago-bap, adding egg and chashu at ₩1,500 each. Parking is tight, but going before the lunch rush means no wait. ## Good to know - **Address**: 10 Yulcheon-ro 7beon-gil, 1F, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (Jeongbalsan-dong 1341-6) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Parking**: Space right in front of the shop, not very spacious and tricky to pull in and out - **Seating**: Regular tables plus counter seats, with a small wireless fan at each table - **Ordering**: Select on the screen at your seat, prepay by card, uncooked takeout available - **Extra chashu**: ₩1,500 (3 slices included by default) - **Extra egg**: ₩1,500 - **Extra broth**: ₩0 (free) - **Basic side dishes**: Kimchi, danmuji (pickled radish) *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I went back to Gyedan Ramen, a Goyang ramen spot I've now visited three times 🍜 Ever since our first bite, both my husband and I agreed it was delicious, so it keeps coming to mind whenever we're craving something good in Bamlidan-gil 😋 ![Exterior of Gyedan Ramen Ilsan Main Branch in Goyang's Bamlidan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-01-eaoqf-1200.webp) For this Bamlidan-gil ramen trip, I ordered motsu ramen and my husband got gyedan ramen. There are lots of cafés and restaurants nearby too, so it's a good spot for a Bamlidan-gil date course, and it's convenient for anyone hunting for good food in Jeongbalsan-dong! ## Where is Gyedan Ramen in Bamlidan-gil? ![Entrance and location signage for Gyedan Ramen Ilsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-02-1k0y1-966.webp) - 📌 10 Yulcheon-ro 7beon-gil, 1F, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 📌 Jeongbalsan-dong 1341-6, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do - ⏰ Daily 11:00–21:00 ## Is parking at Gyedan Ramen easy? We parked in the space right in front of the shop. It's not exactly spacious and pulling in and out is a bit tricky, so we went early, around 11:30am on a weekday. We got a spot right away this time, but if you're worried about parking at Gyedan Ramen, I'd recommend arriving a bit before the lunch peak! ## How long is the wait? ![Entrance of Gyedan Ramen with no wait on a weekday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-03-zo5ic-966.webp) At 11:30am on a weekday, we walked straight in with no wait. But by the time we finished eating and left, the place was full. As you'd expect from a Goyang ramen spot people keep coming back to, seats fill up fast around lunchtime. ## What's the vibe and how do you order? ![Interior of the restaurant with regular tables and counter seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-04-ldiuc-966.webp) Inside there are regular tables and counter seats, and we sat at the counter this time. It's a layout where eating a bowl solo doesn't feel awkward at all, so it seems like a good option for anyone looking for solo dining in Bamlidan-gil! ![Counter seating with a small wireless fan on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-05-fth5q-966.webp) There was also a small wireless fan at each table, which turned out to be surprisingly handy while eating hot broth 😂 ![Order screen and prepayment terminal at the seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-06-deqsx-966.webp) Ordering works by selecting your menu on the screen at your seat and prepaying with a card right there. ![Order screen showing an uncooked takeout option](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-07-146no-966.webp) They even offer uncooked takeout?! Loved that, haha. ![Screen for selecting extras like egg, chashu, and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-08-vg2mf-966.webp) Extras like egg, chashu, and a bowl of rice can all be selected right on the screen, which was convenient. ![Basic side dishes of kimchi and danmuji](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-09-14rkq-966.webp) The basic side dishes were kimchi and danmuji (pickled radish). ## What did we order this time? ![Table spread with motsu ramen, gyedan ramen, and tamago-bap](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-10-9m1or-966.webp) My husband ordered the gyedan ramen rich, and I went with the motsu ramen mild. We each added an extra egg, and I added extra chashu too, so we ended up with a really hearty spread 😆 ## Is the mild motsu ramen bland? ![Bowl of motsu ramen ordered mild](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-11-1ih0e-966.webp) I usually eat mild, and even ordering the motsu ramen on the mild setting, it was still pretty salty for my taste. But it wasn't unpleasantly salty — it came with a deep, rich flavor alongside it, a good kind of salty. I guess Japanese food really is meant to be eaten salty, haha. ![Close-up of chashu on top of the motsu ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-12-9u9lw-966.webp) The chashu wasn't the super-thin, melt-in-your-mouth style — it's a bit thicker with some chew to it! ![Ramen bowl with extra chashu added](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-13-kucp8-966.webp) I got greedy and added extra chashu but ended up too full, so I handed it all over to my husband, haha. Chashu comes with 3 slices by default, and it's ₩1,500 for one more. ![Pale motsu ramen broth with mushrooms and green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-14-21vq5-966.webp) The pale broth was loaded with mushrooms and green onion, and the motsu (offal), soaked through with broth, was chewy and crispy and savory with zero gaminess — it was seriously so good?!?! The noodle portion is also really generous, and there's bean sprouts tucked in underneath. Personally, this is a Goyang ramen spot I keep thinking about just because of the motsu ramen — you probably won't be able to stop at just one visit, haha. ![Motsu ramen showing the noodles and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-15-wzi3e-966.webp) If you like rich broth, give this a try next time you're looking for a good tonkotsu ramen restaurant. ## How's the rich gyedan ramen? ![Gyedan ramen ordered rich](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-16-etzdk-966.webp) My husband's gyedan ramen was ordered rich, and compared to the mild one I had, the broth was clearly thicker and saltier. My husband, who loves a rich tonkotsu style, said the rich version was definitely more delicious. ![Extra egg cut in half next to the ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-17-1xx4q-966.webp) The extra egg was ₩1,500, and we each added one — the yolk was just the right amount of runny, and it was great eaten together with the broth. ## Do you have to order the tamago-bap too? ![Tamago-bap topped with shredded egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-18-1q7k9-966.webp) We also ordered a tamago-bap (egg rice), which came piled with yellow shredded egg on top of the rice, along with meat, seaweed, and green onion — it's savory even eaten on its own. Adding a bit of the broth to the tamago-bap made a really great combination. ![Free refill of ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-19-1dsth-966.webp) We ran low on broth partway through and asked for more, and since extra broth is free, we got it at no cost 👍 ## What happens if you add the spicy sauce? ![Red spicy sauce on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-20-1jdo7-966.webp) My husband tried adding a bit of the red spicy sauce on the table while eating. He took a bite and — wow, the broth's flavor completely changed 😂 ![Ramen broth turned red after adding the spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat-21-lbum7-966.webp) The rich broth turned into a spicy, fiery style. We're both not great with spicy food, so it felt quite hot to us 🔥 If you like spicy food, adding a medium amount might give you a nice karai-ramen style experience. This was already our third visit, and we still left having eaten well — a Goyang ramen spot that keeps delivering. Whenever we're craving a rich, salty bowl of ramen among Bamlidan-gil restaurants, I think we'll keep coming back to Gyedan Ramen 🍜💛 ## Where it is - Gyedan Ramen Ilsan Main Branch (계단라멘 일산본점) - 10 Yulcheon-ro 7beon-gil, 1F, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (Jeongbalsan-dong 1341-6) - 경기도 고양시 일산동구 율천로7번길 10 1층 - 37.6668712, 126.7838996 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%84%EB%8B%A8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98%20%EC%9D%BC%EC%82%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.6668712,126.7838996,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-meal-break/ilsan-bamridangil-ramen-parking-counter-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
