They've now opened a branch in Gangnam too, so I'd been curious and finally made it to the Seongsu location. ![The walk to Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch from Seongsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-05-z9qss-900.webp) ## Where is Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch?

It came in a chilled ice cup, perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day. ![Full spread of the beef cutlet tomato ramen set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-07-nxt3m-900.webp) This is Menya Pomo's beef cutlet tomato ramen set, a Seongsu favorite. You can pick different side options for an extra charge — I skipped extra toppings and chose basil risotto rice instead of salad. ![Set with basil risotto rice chosen as the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-08-1e3em-900.webp) Menya Pomo's tomato ramen has adjustable spice levels. I went with level 1, right around Shin Ramyun spice. ![Tomato ramen served at spice level 1](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-09-1ksk0-900.webp) Toppings on Menya Pomo's tomato ramen include minced pork crumbles, scallions, onion, and egg, plus the beef cutlet on top. ![Ramen topped with minced pork crumbles, scallions, and egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-10-tfxoh-900.webp) The noodles are thin ramen strands that soak up the broth well, keeping the noodles' savory flavor alive. ![Thin ramen noodles soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-11-14iqc-900.webp) The tangy tomato base has deep umami — an addictive ramen. The tomato acidity blends really well with the broth, making the soup incredibly delicious. ![Tangy tomato-based ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-12-1ow34-900.webp) ![Beef cutlet on top of the ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-13-1c6e8-900.webp) The beef mince cutlet is fried right when ordered, so the crispiness holds up. The karaage side is also juicy and delicious. ![Freshly fried beef mince cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-14-bdwni-900.webp) ![Chicken karaage included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-15-hmvyn-900.webp) ### Basil risotto rice with the set, cilantro for 1,000 won extra With the ramen set, you can choose between salad or a topping rice — I love basil so I picked the basil rice. You know how good basil and tomato taste together, right? Eating it with the tomato ramen broth is next level. ![Basil risotto rice served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-16-hofhj-900.webp) ![Basil rice paired with the tomato ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-17-tn0ia-900.webp) I added cilantro for ₩1,000, and that turned out to be a genius move. Loading it up with cilantro gave the dish a distinctive, exotic flavor. ![Ramen topped with cilantro added for ₩1,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-18-lk1ll-900.webp) ## What comes with the 13,800 won pork cutlet set Next up is the pork cutlet set. It comes with freshly fried pork cutlet, various sides, plus white rice and soup. ![Full spread of the pork cutlet set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-19-7sjbj-900.webp) The crispy pork cutlet comes drizzled with a sweet-and-tangy signature sauce. ![Pork cutlet drizzled with signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-20-adx7s-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the crispy pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set/seongsu-ramen-hanwoo-katsu-tomato-set-21-31v5h-900.webp) This cutlet is the crispy breading meeting juicy pork — exactly the Japanese-style pork cutlet you know and love. Even better paired with the cabbage salad. ## Menya Pomo seating and atmosphere: is solo dining comfortable?
