Arriving as a walk-in around 1pm on a Saturday meant a 30-minute wait, then an outdoor table with lasagna, house-made jambon and arugula pizza, and Caesar salad. With autumn sunlight falling straight onto the patio, Classicdang works well for a date or a small get-together. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 63 Yeonhui-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (alley behind Dongjin Market) - **Getting there**: About a 10-minute walk from Hongik Univ.

It was such a great spot to soak up the autumn weather, so let me share my review! ![First photo from the visit to Classicdang in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-01-4th6k-1200.webp) ![The outdoor terrace atmosphere at Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-02-e85ti-m-900.webp) ## Where is Classicdang, and what are its hours and parking? Classicdang is located in Yeonnam-dong. The address is 1F, 63 Yeonhui-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and it's open daily from 12:00 to 22:00 (last order 21:15), with a break time Monday to Friday from 16:00 to 17:00. It's about a 10-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station Exit 3, tucked in the alley behind Dongjin Market! (No parking available!!) ## How long is the Saturday lunch wait at Classicdang? ![Exterior of Classicdang in the alley behind Dongjin Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-03-1oab9-900.webp) Classicdang has such a wonderful outdoor atmosphere. ![Full view of Classicdang's outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-04-tdlpv-900.webp) I visited around 1pm on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. They don't use Catch Table or Table-ing, so it's walk-in waiting only — good to keep in mind! ![The walk-in waiting area at Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-05-1nivh-900.webp) ![View of the storefront while waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-06-10sdw-900.webp) There's water set up outside for people to drink while waiting. I was wearing thick clothes and got a bit warm, so the ice water helped me wait comfortably. ![Ice water prepared for waiting customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-07-k7mo2-900.webp) ![Water and cups set up outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-08-1gep1-900.webp) ## Outdoor or indoor seats at Classicdang: which is better? There are quite a lot of outdoor tables like this. Looks like there are 4 or more 4-person tables. Eating at a nice outdoor table in this autumn weather just makes your mood even better ☺️ It felt like an outdoor date for the first time in a while!! ![An outdoor 4-person table at Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-09-4pvvy-900.webp) ![Indoor table seating at Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-10-u6fkv-900.webp) There are indoor tables too, not just outdoor. There's 1 table for 2 and about 3 tables for 4, so there aren't that many seats indoors! Personally I think the outdoor terrace atmosphere is better, so unless it's too hot out, I'd recommend eating outside 🙂 ## What is on the Classicdang menu? ![Classicdang's menu board listing pasta, pizza, and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-11-1t467-900.webp) True to an Italian restaurant, the menu has a variety of pastas, pizzas, salads, and more. We heard lasagna is the signature dish, so the two of us ordered lasagna + house-made jambon & arugula pizza + Caesar salad. They also have a basil pesto tomato pizza as a new menu item — I'm curious, so I'll try it next time! They also have a wide range of imported beers and wine, so if you're into that, pairing it with the food would be nice too. ## How do the lasagna, jambon arugula pizza and Caesar salad taste? ![The lasagna, the first dish served at Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-12-wn5x4-900.webp) The lasagna came out first. ![Lasagna piled high with sauce and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-13-7q6tw-900.webp) It was piled high with sauce and cheese, so you could really taste the lasagna. Their intro says that, true to the restaurant's name, they aim for a classic flavor, and this felt exactly like a textbook lasagna. The visuals were great too!! ![The lasagna plate set on the outdoor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-14-r23o3-900.webp) Next came the house-made jambon ham & arugula pizza. ![House-made jambon ham and arugula pizza with cream base](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-15-em2wx-900.webp) Since we'd ordered the lasagna, we chose the cream-base version of the pizza, which went well with the lasagna and was also tasty and not too rich on its own! I'm usually bad with rich food, but I ate this without getting sick of it, haha. ![Table set with lasagna and pizza together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-16-1plvc-900.webp) ![Dining scene at the sunlit outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-17-1m7z2-900.webp) Sitting at the outdoor table, the sunlight came in directly so photos came out great, and the atmosphere was just so good!! It was a perfect date spot, haha. Too bad the photos can't capture all of it ㅠㅠ ![Street view of Yeonnam-dong in front of Classicdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-18-1ki6f-900.webp) The street view was so pretty too, and the weather was amazing ☀️☀️ ![Yeonnam-dong alley under an autumn sky](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-19-1y853-900.webp) ![View of the street from the outdoor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-20-yobuv-900.webp) ![Classicdang's Caesar salad served whole](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-21-1rfqf-900.webp) And then the Caesar salad arrived — it came out whole, so it felt extra fresh. The lasagna + pizza + salad combo was great! ## Final verdict on Classicdang ![Full spread of lasagna, pizza, and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-22-h7s7u-900.webp) ![The outdoor table at Classicdang after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait/yeonnam-dong-outdoor-classicdang-walkin-wait-23-1ljux-900.webp) Classicdang matched the autumn weather perfectly, and the outdoor seating atmosphere was so lovely! The lasagna, pizza, and salad were all delicious, and it felt like a satisfying spot to enjoy fall at a relaxed pace in Yeonnam-dong! The restaurant's atmosphere would also be great for a group gathering, or for hanging out with friends or on a date.
