Seoul ramen restaurant with frothy chicken broth: Mentsuru City Hall

Mentsuru City Hall Branch is a Japanese ramen restaurant on Seosomun-ro 11-gil in Jung-gu, Seoul, a 2-minute walk from City Hall Station on Line 2. Two diners ordered tori paitan at 12,000 won and shio ramen at 11,000 won, comparing the silky chicken broth whipped into a foam in a blender with the pale brown broth seasoned with salt alone, and both bowls arrived 5 minutes after ordering. A free bowl of rice to finish in the leftover broth makes Mentsuru City Hall Branch a filling lunch near City Hall.
