Yangcheon udon restaurant for a solo spicy udon lunch: Haengbokhan
Haengbokhan Udon Gage Sinjeongnegeori Station Branch is a Japanese-style udon and soba restaurant on Jungang-ro near Sinjeongnegeori Station in Yangcheon, Seoul. On a solo weekend lunch visit, the gochu udon (spicy pepper udon) came topped with cheongyang chili, the noodles stayed springy to the last bite, and the broth was sharp and clean. Haengbokhan Udon Gage is open daily from 10:40am to 3am, so it works just as well for a late-night bowl or hangover food as for eating alone.
