Visiting on a weekday at 11:40am meant no waiting at all for kara paitan ramen with an extra soft-boiled egg and a side of assorted tsukune, though a line had already formed by 12:10pm on the way out. With free refills on noodles, broth, rice and kimchi, plus hair ties and aprons on offer, it's an easy, unpressured spot for solo diners too. ## Good to know - **Location**: 5-minute walk from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station, 2nd floor - **Ordered**: Kara paitan ramen, extra soft-boiled egg, assorted tsukune - **Refills**: Free refills on noodles, broth, rice and kimchi; side dishes available on request - **Amenities**: Hair ties and aprons provided - **Waiting**: No wait at 11:40am on a weekday; a line had formed by around 12:10pm - **Event**: Review event currently running *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* I love ramen so I go hunting for famous ramen spots haha.

They also had aprons ready, so I didn't have to worry about broth or sauce splashing on my clothes while eating ramen haha. These little touches of thoughtfulness felt surprisingly nice :) Kudos to the owner 👍👍 ![Hair ties and aprons provided on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-08-13xbb-900.webp) Noodles, broth, rice and kimchi are all free refills, so it's great for people with a big appetite! It also felt like a place where you could visit alone and have a simple bowl of ramen without any pressure, so solo diners would find it easy to visit too!! ## Menu lineup and prices ![Menu board at Oreno Ramen Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-09-3loyu-900.webp) Along with ramen, I ordered the assorted tsukune (Japanese chicken meatball skewers) as a side, so I came back properly full haha. There's also a review event running right now, so keep that in mind!! ### Basic table setting ![Basic side dishes served with the ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-10-10rac-900.webp) They said they'll give you more side dishes if you ask, just so you know! ## Kara paitan ramen — what toppings come on it? ![A bowl of kara paitan ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-11-3qhbm-900.webp) ![Close-up of kara paitan ramen with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-12-lt0rf-1200.webp) Finally the kara paitan ramen I'd been waiting for arrived! 🍜 On top of the ramen were fried onions, wood ear mushrooms, a soft-boiled egg and various other toppings, and it looked really appetizing! I feel like ramen is better with a variety of toppings on top rather than just noodles alone — you get to enjoy different textures and flavors in one bowl haha. ![Fried onion topping on the ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-13-1twv3-900.webp) ![Fried onion soaked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-14-16rr8-900.webp) ![Wood ear mushrooms lifted with the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-15-14jpa-900.webp) The fried onions caught my eye first — the crispy topping added a fun texture alongside the ramen. Dipping it slightly into the broth softened it up and gave a totally different feel, which I enjoyed! Wood ear mushrooms are another topping that's essential to ramen. They have a chewy, crunchy texture, so eating them with the soft noodles created a nice contrast that tasted great. ![The extra soft-boiled egg ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-16-e57ln-900.webp) ![A bite combining soft egg and chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-17-vjsb8-900.webp) I love soft-boiled eggs so I ordered one extra haha. The moist, soft egg went really well with the broth. Take a bite of the soft egg with a little broth and some chicken on top...? 🤤🤤🤤 ![Close-up of the ramen broth and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-18-n2bsh-900.webp) ## The assorted tsukune we ordered as a side The assorted tsukune we ordered with the ramen was one of the menu items I'd been looking forward to! Tsukune are Japanese-style chicken meatball skewers, and pairing them as a side with ramen turned out to be a better combo than I expected!! Tastes like it calls for a beer 🍻🍻 I almost had a daytime drink haha. Eating the warm ramen broth and noodles, then taking a bite of tsukune...! Switching between dishes let me enjoy a different flavor each time, which I liked haha. ![Assorted tsukune skewers ordered as a side](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-19-jwakc-900.webp) ![A plate with several kinds of assorted tsukune](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen-20-16ush-900.webp) It was so nice to be able to try several different kinds of tsukune together haha. ## Overall verdict and weekday waiting times This is a great place for ramen lovers, of course, but also for days when you want a hearty, satisfying meal! If you want to enjoy a bowl of ramen along with a side dish, I'd recommend ordering the assorted tsukune too! I left full and satisfied after enjoying both the ramen and the tsukune 🍜🤍 Next time I visit, I plan to try the tori paitan haha. When I visited around 11:40am, I ate without any wait! By the time I left around 12:10pm, there was already a line. Keep that in mind when you go! ## Where it is - Oreno Ramen Gangnam (오레노라멘 강남점) - 28-9 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2F - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로1길 28-9 2F - 37.5004882, 127.0280926 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%A0%88%EB%85%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.5004882,127.0280926,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ladle-side-streets/orenoramen-gangnam-weekday-no-wait-ramen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
