Solo tonkatsu and udon near Nambu Terminal Station: Baek Sojeong

Baek Sojeong Nambu Bus Terminal is a tonkatsu and udon restaurant a 4-minute walk from Nambu Terminal Station Exit 6 in Seocho, Seoul. The writer ordered the ebi tempura curry for 12,500 won and the karaage bukkake udon with tonkatsu for 15,500 won, finding thick-cut tonkatsu and springy cold udon noodles, and the restaurant lends out phone stands, which made solo dining comfortable. If you want rice, the ebi tempura curry is the pick; if you want noodles and fried pork together, the udon and tonkatsu set is the better order.
