A couple who live in Seongsu ordered sea urchin (uni) pasta, Cheongyang cream pasta with nurungji (scorched rice), and white fish and fries in a squid-ink batter, and both loved all three dishes. For couples looking for a pasta place near Seoulsup they will both enjoy, Knot's three-dish combination is worth copying. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1, 12-12 Seongsuil-ro 1-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul - **Visit date**: November 10 - **Dishes ordered**: Sea urchin pasta, Cheongyang cream pasta with nurungji (scorched rice), ink-battered white fish & fries - **Interior**: Wooden tables and chairs, with window seats and seats further inside *as written by the visitor on Nov 12, 2026 · not checked with the business* ![Main photo of Knot, a pasta restaurant near Seoulsup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-01-4fsei-m-1200.webp) Living in Seongsu and going out for pasta doesn't always mean both of us walk away equally happy, you know? But this time we both said, "This place is really good!" haha This is Knot (낫:knot), a Seoulsup pasta spot we visited on November 10. We ordered the sea urchin pasta, the Cheongyang cream pasta, and fish and chips in a black ink coating, and all three were delicious! It's the first pasta place we've both raved about together, so I really wanted to write it down. This time I'll share it as a Seongsu locals' pick :) ## Where is Knot, the pasta restaurant near Seoulsup? ![Exterior of Knot in the alley off Seongsuil-ro 1-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-02-mcqrb-m-900.webp) ![Entrance leading down to Knot on the basement level](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-03-sby9g-900.webp) ![The surroundings near Knot's entrance in Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-04-vlb40-900.webp) Knot sits in an alley off Seongsuil-ro 1-gil. The address is 12-12 Seongsuil-ro 1-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, basement level. If it's your first visit, the entrance photos should make it a little easier to spot. ![Inside Knot with wooden tables and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-05-834vq-900.webp) ![Atmosphere of the window seats at Knot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-06-145kx-900.webp) ![The inner seating area at Knot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-07-18vmt-900.webp) Inside Knot, you'll find a space with wooden tables and chairs and soft lighting. The window seats and the inner seats have slightly different moods, so I captured both in photos. That day, the food stayed in my memory even more than the space haha Here are the three things we ordered. - Sea urchin pasta - Cheongyang cream pasta (with nurungji) - White fish & fries ## How is the sea urchin (uni) pasta at Knot? ![Knot's sea urchin pasta topped with sea urchin](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-08-wzjo3-900.webp) The sea urchin pasta is the dish we most wanted to recommend that day. Sea urchin sits on top of the pasta in the middle of the plate, and it caught our eyes the moment it arrived. It looked appetizing, and after eating it we liked it even more. ![Eating the sea urchin pasta at Knot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-09-1qjtt-900.webp) The combination was unusual yet harmonious, and we both kept saying how good it was as we ate haha What stuck with me is that it wasn't just one of us who liked it; both of us were happy :) We ordered other dishes too, but the sea urchin pasta is one I have to recommend, really, really. ## What does Knot's Cheongyang cream pasta with nurungji taste like? ![Cheongyang cream pasta with nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-10-1yegc-900.webp) Knot's Cheongyang cream pasta comes with nurungji (scorched rice), and this dish, which we ordered along with the sea urchin pasta, was really good too. Scorched rice in pasta? Of course you'd be curious about that combination haha ![Nurungji and pasta noodles coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-11-1xt2c-900.webp) Eating the noodles and then the nurungji coated in cream sauce was fun, alternating between them in one bowl. We were already happy with the sea urchin pasta, and when the Cheongyang cream was good too, we kept telling each other how delicious it was haha ![A bowl of Knot's Cheongyang cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-12-1hq3r-900.webp) It wasn't just one dish that worked in this order; we liked both pastas. If you're curious about pasta with nurungji, keep an eye on the Cheongyang cream pasta. ## Is Knot's ink-battered fish and chips worth ordering? ![White fish and fries in a black ink coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-13-1t70q-900.webp) The side we had with the two pastas was Knot's white fish & fries. Our fish and chips came out with the fried fish in a black squid-ink coating, which stood out right away. And can you believe this one was delicious too!! ![Plate of ink fish and chips at Knot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-14-1ke7e-900.webp) We came to a pasta place, so I figured we'd focus on the pasta, but even the fish and chips was memorable haha The sea urchin pasta, the Cheongyang cream, and the fish and chips were each tasty, so this order combination was really satisfying. ## Why Seongsu locals pick Knot for pasta We visited with part of our meal covered, but us both saying "This place is really good!" is honestly how we felt :) It's the first pasta place in Seongsu where we were both this satisfied, which makes Knot even more memorable. When we want pasta near Seoulsup, I think we'll be thinking of it again. ![The three dishes ordered at Knot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-15-mt6jk-507.webp) ![Table with the sea urchin pasta and Cheongyang cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-16-27027-507.webp) ![The couple's meal table at Knot near Seoulsup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot-17-l8i6m-507.webp) Sea urchin pasta, Cheongyang cream with nurungji, and ink-battered fish and chips. We recommend them as our Seongsu locals' pick~! haha ## Where it is - Knot (낫:knot) - 12-12 Seongsuil-ro 1-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (B1) - 서울특별시 성동구 성수일로1길 12-12 B1 낫:knot - 37.54211, 127.0475506 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%AB%3Aknot/@37.54211,127.0475506,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@queue-side-menu/seongsu-uni-pasta-squid-ink-fish-chips-knot/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
