Solo lunch near Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station: Pasta Gram

Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch

A Western restaurant I want to recommend for anyone near Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station who's eating alone at lunch or just wants a quick meal — Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch!

It's a Yangjae pasta spot especially popular with solo diners and office workers during lunch hours.

I'd recommend it to anyone on a date near Yangjae Stream or looking for a budget-friendly spot in Yangjae-dong.

Great value and great for a solo lunch — let's get into the Pasta Gram review ㅇㅁㅇ

1-minute walk from Exit 2 of Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station — what about parking?

Pasta Gram is just a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station, so accessibility is great (parking is available on the left side of the building).

There are outdoor tables right in front of the restaurant too, which would be perfect for outdoor dining on a nice day haha. It was raining that day, so I only used the indoor seating.

A meal spot by day, a drinking spot by night — inside the restaurant

The interior felt like a mix of a bar and a Western restaurant — at lunch there were customers ordering meal items, while in the evening it looked like a great place to have a drink too.

The place was on the small side, but with group tables and 4-person tables, it looked like it could accommodate different group sizes.

Pork neck steak ₩11,000, highly recommend for a quick meal

Pork neck steak — ₩11,000. Whenever I go to a pasta place or Western restaurant, I pretty much always end up ordering the steak~

But for ₩11,000, the spread was pretty varied and the meat quality was decent too!

The steak sauce itself was sweet, so it's good to eat with kids, and it's a flavor that everyone, young and old, would like!

Fried egg, salad, fries — everything you'd expect is here :) Since it's pork neck, there isn't much fat,

and eating the meat coated in sweet sauce along with rice made it even tastier haha. Really recommend this to anyone who wants to solve a meal in one go!

Broth tteokbokki at a pasta place?

Broth tteokbokki (rice cake stew) — ₩11,000. What's broth tteokbokki doing at a pasta place — but why is it so good..??

They used wheat flour rice cakes, and they were cooked so thoroughly soft that the texture was totally squishy — exactly the style I love!!!!!!

A perfectly spicy dish, great to eat when you don't have much of an appetite!

Thick, creamy cream pasta ₩11,000

Cream pasta — ₩11,000. Next up, a cream pasta to tone down the spiciness of the tteokbokki

It was super thick and creamy~~~~ and went really well with the bacon, onion, mushroom and broccoli!

The pasta noodles were also cooked just right :) (I don't like undercooked noodles)

Three dishes for ₩33,000, and a fast table turnover

That's my review of Pasta Gram near Yangjae Citizen's Forest, a great spot for lunch

Even ordering three dishes like this only came to ₩33,000, and even with every table full, the food came out quickly, so turnover was pretty good too.

So while there were lots of office workers like me, I think people dating near the AT Center, Yangjae Flower Market, or Yangjae Stream would enjoy stopping by too :)

Next time I'll come in the evening for a drink haha (I can really only handle one drink^ㅁ^) Thanks for the meal :)
