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. ![Outdoor tables in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-05-1p7ql-m-966.webp) ## 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. ![Interior blending a bar and a Western restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-06-2zhyp-m-966.webp) The place was on the small side, but with group tables and 4-person tables, it looked like it could accommodate different group sizes. ![Hall seating with group tables and 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-07-1qhn9-966.webp) ![Table seating inside Pasta Gram](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-08-a6iy9-966.webp) ![Menu board at Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-09-1tzvs-966.webp) ## Pasta Gram's menu and prices - Cheese pork ribs (baby back ribs) ₩33,000 - Cream shrimp fondue ₩29,000 - Quattro cheese & honey pizza ₩22,000 - Garden arugula pizza ₩24,000 - Shrimp rosé pasta ₩13,800 - Pork neck steak ₩11,000 - Spicy bacon cream pasta ₩12,000 - Pork neck chop steak rice bowl ₩10,000 - Gorgonzola pizza ₩14,000 - Margherita ₩14,000 - Egg in hell ₩15,000 - Gambas ₩16,000 - Melon & prosciutto ₩14,000 - Bolognese pasta ₩13,800 - Salmon salad ₩12,000 - Vongole ₩12,300 ![Pickles and pickled jalapeños served as basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-10-9dn0z-966.webp) When you order, they give you pickles and pickled jalapeños as basic side dishes. ![Full spread of the pork neck steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-11-1j4g1-966.webp) ## 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~ ![The ₩11,000 pork neck steak set](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-12-28qv6-966.webp) 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! ![Steak plate with fried egg, salad and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-13-yt1n4-966.webp) Fried egg, salad, fries — everything you'd expect is here :) Since it's pork neck, there isn't much fat, ![A piece of pork neck steak coated in sweet sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-14-19p90-849.webp) 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! ![A bowl of broth tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-15-nkmw4-966.webp) ## 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..?? ![Broth tteokbokki with thoroughly cooked wheat flour rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-16-139gc-966.webp) They used wheat flour rice cakes, and they were cooked so thoroughly soft that the texture was totally squishy — exactly the style I love!!!!!! ![Lifting up a soft rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-17-1g6l4-966.webp) A perfectly spicy dish, great to eat when you don't have much of an appetite! ![Cream pasta placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-18-vsmp8-966.webp) ## Thick, creamy cream pasta ₩11,000 Cream pasta — ₩11,000. Next up, a cream pasta to tone down the spiciness of the tteokbokki ![Thick cream pasta with bacon and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-19-crv18-966.webp) It was super thick and creamy~~~~ and went really well with the bacon, onion, mushroom and broccoli! ![Pasta noodles coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-20-1u2u5-966.webp) The pasta noodles were also cooked just right :) (I don't like undercooked noodles) ![Cream pasta noodles twirled on a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-21-1av22-966.webp) ## 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 ![Table with all three dishes together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-22-n8is0-966.webp) 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. ![Table setting during lunch at Pasta Gram](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-23-1mqz7-m-966.webp) 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 :) ![Table after finishing the meal at Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining-24-m5ati-966.webp) Next time I'll come in the evening for a drink haha (I can really only handle one drink^ㅁ^) Thanks for the meal :) ## Where it is - Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch (빠스타그램 양재본점) - 59 Mabang-ro 2-gil, 1st Floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 마방로2길 59 1층 - 37.4709426, 127.0394759 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B9%A0%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80%EA%B7%B8%EB%9E%A8%20%EC%96%91%EC%9E%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4709426,127.0394759,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@kimchi-fridge-visits/pastagram-yangjae-lunch-solo-dining/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
