Such a cute system, right? ![Omil Hongdae menu board showing pasta and omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-08-gg5tc-900.webp) ![Omil Hongdae's 2-person set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-09-1k0fm-900.webp) ### Set or single dish? What we chose Omil, a Hongdae date-spot pasta place, has such a wide variety of menu items. They even have 2-person set menus ready, so getting full off a set menu would be great too! We figured we couldn't finish the sides on top of everything else, so we ordered single dishes instead. We got the rubber duck omurice, the spicy pollack roe pasta, and a Pepsi Zero. ![Pepsi Zero served with an ice cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-10-s8df5-900.webp) The cola came out first. Along with the cola, they thoughtfully gave us an ice cup, and exactly two straws too, haha. Such a nice touch. ![Pickles brought over from the self-serve side dish zone by the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-11-j7nif-900.webp) Next to the counter, there's a zone where you can grab side dishes yourself, so I brought over some pickles. Pickles go so well with pasta! ![A plate of spicy pollack roe pasta with garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-12-14yfr-900.webp) ## The taste of the spicy pollack roe pasta and rubber duck omurice The dishes we ordered came out right away, so we didn't have to wait long, which was great. Even though the place was completely packed, the food came out really quickly. Doesn't the spicy pollack roe pasta look so good? It had plenty of garlic in it too, which Koreans love, and the portion was just right for two people! ![Omil Hongdae's signature rubber duck omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date/omeal-hongdae-bell-order-pasta-date-13-u1cvk-900.webp) Ta-da!
